This entire discussion is about political correctness and self-censorship. (Maybe reluctantly) Saying things you know are true, despite being against some current political climate, in some way. But it sounds like you already made your own

That is exactly what many of the commentors in this discussion are attempting to do, taking cues from the article.

I think it is mindnumbing that your (very reasonable) questioning of the validity of such a strong and all-encompassing statement is being dismissed, downvoted. To some extent, I would take it with a grain of salt. Anonymous internet accoun

Agreed. I've had one of their Trail Gloves and while I loved what they did with the design and fit of it, the quality was very lackluster. Holes started to appear within 2 months of very light use, and it had only gotten worse after th

One day I imagine we'll practically be handing out nukes to everyone. Actually I imagine that day won't come.

But then how would mass media for-profit corporations help to divide and conquer?

It's extremely telling that false statements made against predominantly right-leaning individuals in this thread maintain their prominent hue, whilst true statements correcting those beliefs are fading to a less visible hue.

I find it interesting that one commenter glibly pronounces that Donald Trump has "Russian collaborators" - ostensibly for nefarious purposes - even though, with nearly a year of investigation, I'm not made aware of conclusive

I think that's something that you'll have to find out for yourself. One potential outcome would be that you lose your inner peace in an attempt to display your lack of control over a situation (or whatever emotions people believe

Are you serious? There have been threats (or "wish-deaths") made against our president's life. By members of the media, congress, and plenty more. Even that most extreme act, in my view, has received only a tepid response. Ma

I know what you mean. I don't suppose you think differently, but in general: I think it's worth reminding ourselves that "a government" is made up of multiple people, which may be largely influenced by distinct cliques,

I think I understand what you're trying to get at. But it assumes that the person's expertise is truly "aligned" with the subject matter. I don't want to badger you with all of my thoughts on this, but, at the extre

Should we not criticize someone's publications, even if we think they deserve criticism? And should we use their name as reason for abstaining from that? Not to imply that you do this, but here's some general advice: don't ap

Simply for the sake of meaningful discourse, I'd like to believe there's more to this thought. But you offer little. 1. Is there proof you have of this? Or is your statement just one of "This is something I think /they&#

You appear to be another victim of "divide and conquer", and like many of them, perpetuate it. Life is not as simple as you like to believe: Trump/republican supporters may not necessarily think this is a good thing.
