You may not be aware of this but in the education system of the United States, which is mandatory for all of our children, we are taught that the history of America is the culture of fighting against authoritarian regimes no matter their fo

Yeah that’s all police brutality. I’m glad that in America our law enforcement hasn’t dove to the level of shutting off our internet, but they’ve definitely used water canons, rubber bullets, and tear gas on peaceful citizens executing thei

Firefighting is a job that actually has significant standards for licensing and criminal history. They also don’t have a history of killing black people at 2.5x their usual rate of killing people. (They also by and large don’t kill people,

If the police are so well trained how do we have 700 videos of police brutality within the span of maybe 3 weeks? Why do so many rapes go uninvestigated much less brought to trial? Why is it legal for police to coerce people they’ve detaine

I agree with the premise but unfortunately the mental health system in America is itself prone to abuse of patients and bigotry against patients. We need to be able to hold psychologists, nurses in psychiatric wards, psychiatrists, and othe

700 cases of police brutality is indeed less than 100k deaths caused by authoritarian dictatorship. As a democratic country we’re trying to avoid it with peaceful organization and protest, but our law enforcement keeps violating our constit

Where I lived the police did nothing about the riots while they trapped protestors then threw chemical weapons at them...

Police have been systematically killing people, inciting riots, executing pets as a matter of course, and using chemical weapons of war on civilians. Many police departments have more funding than any other portion of the budget combined an

The police abandoned the city blocks first. The intent was to purposefully set up a situation where cops can point to rioting in an area they intentionally vacated so riots could happen. Protestors have responded by sitting and watching doc

Thousands of police officers are not killed actually, their jobs are actually not even the 10 most dangerous jobs in America. As a black man you are more likely to be killed by a cop than it is likely a cop dies in the line of duty (ftr aro

Which is why I'm highly disagreeing with the concept that such drugs should be widely or anywhere near universally taken. You'll likely have a significant subset of people who shouldn't be taking this medication, either due t

"Adding a non-damaging, mind altering temporary experience" do you have evidence that psychedelic drugs are always non-damaging? With regards, someone who has a psychotic spectrum illness.

by TeaDrunk 6y ago
I highly disagree, mostly because I've yet to see any real long-term studies that show that taking psychedelics actually benefits people long term to the point where we should make literally everyone take it. I have an illness on the p

Strongly against this, as there's no scientific evidence that exposure to mind altering substances provides long-term personality changes in openness or empathy. Additionally, as someone on the psychotic spectrum but was unable to rece

I mean, the idea is also that the 3 month lockdowns themselves have hard numbers behind them. From what I understand economists have themselves already modeled out the effect of covid-19 without a lockdown and found a lockdown is still more

I believe it's important to note that public healthcare itself has disproportionately worse outcomes for black people. To indicate that being a black person is a health risk in the country and supporting movements to resolve this is, f

Yes, do you have links to said movements or reporters of said movements? Where are you getting this information?

I'm not sure if this is a big unplanned experiment any more than states already opening up and existing protests for opening up have already been doing.

I live in the middle of NYC, which has had several scenes of looting not 30 min from me broadcast to the entire nation, and I haven't heard of any such movement here. Maybe this is my east coast classist bubble, but I'd appreciate

I don't know, numerically, if the large protests ongoing now are hugely more contributory to existing open<state> protests. For one, the large protests currently are highly masked, while the open<state> protests were highly

How does this coincide with (when I was an academic in STEM) a tendency to try and fight against assumptions by using specific gendered pronouns in papers? For example “A data scientist may use <my hot new algorithm> in <hot resear
