Nailed it. If someone required me to chant "Chocolate is god" whenever I enter their home, and my refusal to do so is a punishable / jailable offense, then that is a massive breach of my own rights to control my own speech. I

Why not respond to the new information they presented instead of attacking by claiming "muh logical fallacy"? Your initial answer does not disprove or refute their more nuanced response, which very much does matter on this subject

How is this a conspiracy theory? Why jump to that conclusion about this person's perfectly reasonable statement and hypothesis? Stories of children either passing out or dying because they were required to wear masks during track outdo

I wholeheartedly disagree with just about everything you said (much of it is misinformation and/or hysterics), but I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. :)

Heh, if that isn't the most hypocritical award given in a hot minute. That's the only thing I can say about this in good conscience. Susan: un-ban every political dissenter you've removed in the last 2 years and then we can t

Got it—I misunderstood you—thanks for clarifying. Words and labels have become a very difficult thing for people to handle rationally. Within a span of just 5-10 years, a big handful of them went from being tools to bond people to being a d

I think that's a pretty loose assumption that _all people_ are using it with ill intent. Anything can be said or used with ill intent, because intent matters and is separate from actual language. That's why we have tone in speakin
