You are expressing a literally racist opinion. “Only race y can express idea x.” Unlike others, I don’t want to cancel you for being racist, though you clearly are, by your own admission. This tolerance I show towards others allows dialog a

Remarkable to see the lack of self awareness in this thread. “It’s not censorship when I do it!!!!” It scares me to have so many educated people that aren’t in touch, aren’t even in control, if their own minds. My faith in free will ever d

I am not demonstrating anything. I am saying the argument you make is the distinguishing feature of neo-conservative foreign policy- viz the importance of value judgements about the sort of world we want to live in. I would add also that ne
