I think most people would admit he is a buffoon. I also think most people would not stand by if he did something obviously, materially, directly and apolitically harmful to people. I can't write people off if they continue to vote red

Totally agree. It's unfortunate though that evaluating merit is so dependent on culture. To me, proving what is and isn't merited feels very similar to proving which programming language should be selected for a project. Except fo

I understand why you would not think it is a problem. Unfortunately the only evidence for something like this is anecdotes, so unless you personally experience cancellation or are a member of a community where someone is cancelled, you won&

Apologies for the amp link. I would recommend looking at Twitter replies to the Harper's Mag letter about her being a signer, and then other discussions on it. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbsnews.com&#x2F

I think your argument makes sense. It fits well with my experiences with "MAGAers" and "SJWs". I also think this style of politics is here to stay, as it is the dominate strategy. America has a fracturing hegemony: there

Allowed but controlled immigration is what I believe the result of Republican efforts has been. Sure, they probably want to decrease immigration even further, but they haven't gotten policy that far yet.

I am fine with this. Bernie Sanders once said mass immigration was a "koch brothers scheme." I agree with this sentiment. Increases in GDP don't seem to help the lower class. As GDP has risen, inflation adjusted income has fl

Ah I had forgotten about the term "hegemony", thanks for reminding me! I will use "hegemony" in the future instead of "base culture". At a surface level it seems to be a term that accurately conveys what I mean

Giving your argument the benefit of the doubt, I think you're saying: 1. Currently no legally recognized right is being violated by police when they are given Ring surveillance footage from a homeowner to prosecute a potential criminal
