You seem to be confused about what white supremacy is. It's a small subset of nationalism. There are many other types. And white supremacy is more authoritarian than libertarian. And it's not conservative in the current political

It's no surprise that people banned from other platforms end up on a platform that accepts them. That doesn't mean Gab was specifically made to promote any specific group or viewpoint.

Maybe it's not assuming anything about your preferences. Maybe it's catering to one of my preferred aesthetics, which happens to be 'feeble' feminity (as you put it). Yes, it's a stereotype, but not an arbitrary one

It's both typical and disingenuous to name an attack after the instrument rather than the agent that wields it. Truck attacks, drone attacks, knife attacks - one might be forgiven for thinking these objects have developed minds of thei

One example - the US Constitution draws from Ancient Greece and Rome, and is a response to the oppression of European monarchies. Louis XIV: "I am the state." US Constitution: "We the people...secure the Blessings of Liberty&

I was just giving their observation some context. To address the idea of white privilege directly: - It's increasing racial awareness and conflict. - It's a blunt instrument that doesn't take into account the myriad of circum

The counterpoint to your second sentence is that most of the world would sacrifice much to migrate to the US.

I don't see how such sweeping statements about the nature of a country are useful. Slave labor was only one component of practically all great countries/empires. The West was the first to outlaw it. The US in particular was built

There is no realistic scenario where one civilization does not dominate others. Macro-history is fundamentally about the rise and fall of civilizations - the undesirable elements of this are consistent, but Western tradition and enlightenme

If you're going to say that Western society was built with white males as the presumed default, you might want to also mention who the builders were. And as a broader point, it also might be worth considering how Western society stacks

There's little point in trying to avoid being called such things. The term has been redefined to be more encompassing and is used as a political weapon by those with an agenda.

Compared to the relative stability of the 1990s and early 2000s, the current political and economic situation does seem somewhat absurd. But history is littered with turbulent times, and compared to those times the present is a pleasant dre

I don't think suicidal people much care about the legal or moral judgements of others. Unless you're talking about removing all means of suicide and forcefully keeping people alive.

Humanity is only the problem from the point of view of some humans, and perhaps other species. The earth itself has no moral view on what should happen.

The best do not evolve. The strongest and most adaptable survive. That doesn't necessarily mean the people in those societies have quality lives.

The comment makes sense, but the US isn't best example. Although last century the US was somewhat dominated by one identity (which is now waning and leaving room for others to grow) it has always been multi-ethnic and multi-religious.

The UK does not have freedom of speech; you can be prosecuted for verbally "causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another". In 2016, over 1500 people in the UK were fined or even jailed under this heinous law. In

What does the US give you that the UK doesn't? First and second amendment protections. Perhaps those are not an advantage in your book?

I would also like to know what the rationale is for this behavior. Showing immediate and useful feedback on the screen seems an obvious thing to do, especially when running a command at an interactive terminal.

What we really need to do is remove all adversity and all other incentives for people to better themselves. I mean, what good ever came from people trying to overcome struggle and strife?

My point is that he had something to leak in the first place. Blaming Assange is shooting the messenger. Also, we don't know for sure a foreign power was involved - that partisan conjecture.
