The number of people repeating misinformation isn't really relevant. You really seem to leverage many various fallacies, like slippery slope and argument from incredulity. My exact statement was, in context to the facts about white sup

That's not a very generous interpretation of what I said.

It's too bad that critical thinking and rationality aren't considered integral elements of preparing students to join the workforce.

Totally, and then you have unfettered capitalism and corporatism, kakistocracies, oligarchies and lawn darts. Unfortunately, unlike all of those things, the FBI, Homeland Security[1] and Congress [2] actually found that white supremacists a

That doesn't seem to be what the quote is focused on though, where most efforts around "protected classes" come from. I think it does a rather good job highlighting it's point about conservative central hyperfocus on the

You say "no matter how much cash you throw at renovation", but I think you may be underestimating just how much Fortnite alone makes, apparently in 2019, Fortnite brought in revenues of $1.8 billion. With costs of labor in NC, I&#

Obvious bias of the writer aside, it's kind of funny how this story is posted under the "If you're tired of cancel culture and censorship" banner, and yet the author doesn't mention Parler banning folks[1]. I guess

This might be what gets me to pull the trigger on tinkering with hardware, between this and the JS on firmware project I saw on HN, I've definitely felt the call recently!

It really is quite nice aesthetically and functionally. If you're on the market for a great web experience, I'd love to offer help. Feel free to reach out to my gmail, via Gabrielmtn.

Maybe you meant dunning-kruger? People without a lot of familiarity with the issue being confident that flux is a great solution?

OP's context went back thousands of years, so maybe I'd be more accurate to say sectarian violence and tribalism? Either way, maybe there's a hint in your comment. Finding ways to add sharp external costs to all parties invol

I'm not suggesting anything, I'm wondering what mechanisms other that political pressure might make progress in the Middle-East, given the historical context that the OP mentioned. Also, the guidelines: "Please respond to the

This is a good point. An area steeped in sectarian violence and racism must surely take a completely different approach than an area with purely political struggles. I wonder what mechanisms other that political pressure might make progress

I'll read them today. Apologies for making the forum worse, I'll try to change. I've been struggling with a lot of anger surrounding this issue lately. Maybe it'd be best if I took a break from HN for a while.
