Not all of them. but a big chunk, yes. It's not specific to straight white men — if it were, say, straight Japanese men ruling the world then the blame would be laid on them. Ultimately, the left view is largely correct , which is why

I loved Hong Kong when I visited it but I would never want to live there. My quality of life in the US is much higher.

So I totally support improving public transit, reducing the space allotted for cars, etc etc. But after 15 years living a car-free in city apartments, I live in a suburb with roommates now and love it . Our home is bigger, we have a lovely

The fact that state-enforced age verification was within the overton window in the UK is unfathomable. All age restrictions are toxic and lead to a culture where parents and children mutually distrust each other. And the state wants to

Hmm, unemployment in the US is very low. What is happening is underemployment through gig economy jobs like Uber. You seem to be advocating for more of that.

Your response to my comment was flagged, but you seem to be laboring under some misconceptions here. While biology is what it is, the mapping from biology and other factors to social categories is determined purely socially. Categories and

Or you can treat both as part of the same engine of unrestrained, destructive capitalism that destroys people's livelihoods when they no longer align with business interests. Apple can spend some of that massive cash reserve it has act

Yep, Apple should spend some of that massive pile of cash they have. It's the least they can do.

My point is that hospital visitation rights are incredibly important and a society which fails to extend them to all relationships is actively discriminating.

Hospital visitation is not just "an issue". Taking care of your spouse when they're sick is one of the core aspects of marriage. What else would "in sickness and in health" mean?

So nonbinary people shouldn't be able to marry at all? Your simplified model falls apart the moment it meets the real world.

This is a common misconception which reduces structural discrimination to individual resentment. In reality, it does not matter at all whether the actor had evil in their heart — it only matters what the effects are (ability to adopt, hospi

No, there are things you are forced to say in workplaces. For example, you can't act nice towards almost everyone on a team but ignore the only Black person. That's exactly what trans people want, to be given the same respect as
