Ah, got it. Point taken. I believe what you say is true, but I think the aggression can often be so obscured as to not be visible. Systematically hiring 10% less people of of color, or passing over a resume with a funny sounding name isn&#x

This is just depressing, man. > Civil liberties are protected by individuals themselves, by asserting their rights, and conforming to the non-aggression principle to avoid getting into conflicts with others. Some people are are not in po

non-aggression is not the same as non-oppression. I can non-aggressively disenfranchise a group of people. I believe the problem lies in the trust placed in the free market to take the place of empathy and social unity required for creating

I think it's a very tiny number of user though. Most users don't care about a security update and many actively avoid them. A phone updating all the time is seen by many to be a bug, not a feature. If my car was constantly nagging

Does it though? Most android users I know don't care how recent their OS is. Most Apple users I know don't care how recent their OS is. Most people I know don't update their OS because then they have to update a bunch of othe

A group of people who are systematically disenfranchised witnessed a visceral oppression committed by the guardians of that system. They are now extremely upset and frustrated and expressing their anger and frustration at a system that for

This comments reads as "god save capitalism. Everything is justified unless dollars are burned in the process."

That's the thread of a great question we should be asking ourselves. "How has the behavior of the U.S. effected the global response to COVID?" I feel like your question only furthers my point that aggressive and confrontation

This is one of the crazy things to me. The U.S attacked a foreign country. Then, that country fearing it was being attacked launched a missile at something it thought was a threat. The U.S. caused Iran to take a defensive posture and be fea

Yeah, you're right. Mostly I was trying to spur conversation and perhaps I wasn't giving enough context to do so. What we're all doing globally right now is only a small step in the right direction for tackling climate change

I'm confused by the first point. The USPS has a monopoly on sending packages and letters? I recognize the USPS is subsidized by the US government but that is exactly my point. They amount of real money I'm taxed that eventually en

What I know is that the USPS is often the cheapest and easiest way to send a package. The number of services they offer outpaces FedEx and UPS. What I pay in taxes for public schools is magnitudes cheaper than the average private school tu
