My issue isn't that OnlyFans is trying to prevent content by minors, it's that kilroy thinks the minors are somehow to blame for "their [unclean] acts"

Conservatism runs on the assumption that young girls and women are natural property of men (the father, then the husband) and so for many people, these are innocent daughters lost on OnlyFans. But no political faction is active on the issue

"Do you think all violence is wrong, or only murder?" Of course there are degrees. I don't really see the gotcha here -- if you found out your favorite anime or Pixar movie was animated by slaves, would you still be able to e

The best argument "against prostitution" is the moral argument against consuming it: you don't and _can't_ know if the person you're paying for is too poor or too wasted to be able to choose to participate, or if th

It's also source-free. Love the flourish at the end with the typical third-wave male feminist line of "this has [probably] gotten sex workers killed" when what really kills sex workers is violent men and poverty/drugs.

I'd submit two more: An incredible amount of whistleblower leaks made it possible for citizens to know what horrible things their governments are doing. There is a real check on state power when the press has such a reach now, and you

Is the current world any different from Skyrim or Game of Thrones? Do you think it should be? Real, not facetious questions I'd be curious to discuss.

That people have to go back to 2005 Greenwald to attack 2020 Greenwald is always a treat. And they can't even get it right when they do [1]! The Harris quotes speak for themselves. The article I linked upthread has some more. [1] http

Yea, I was around when Greenwald was devoting much of his time writing against New Atheism's anti-Muslim slant [1]. I am not sure what about criticism of U.S. warmongering is "SJW BS" but I'd be interested to hear the co

Speech on Facebook and Twitter has been unmoderated (aside from illegal stuff) for a long time. Why can't people just stop demanding deletion when they see views they dislike and do something else about it instead?

It's fun to watch well-paid insular MSM people come at Glenn Greenwald and bounce off. Meanwhile younger leftists dislike him because he correctly identifies our current leftist and youth cultures as obsessed with the mechanics of iden

I mean, Greenwald has a lot of followers online and tons of liberal leaders supported him against this charge when they could have ignored it. I think some of the most vocal people are the most deluded... and the upper class Dem establishme

In my city I often hear people joking that they'll "move to Canada" if politics gets too annoying for them e.g. Trump is re-elected. I imagine for them, spending a few minutes with Greenwald's principles would be a 2001:
