So the old kind of science is a bunch of antivax rumours unbacked by anything?

Seems like the income tax is more moral as it's a progressive tax. How is a consumption tax more moral?

Yes when will Reddit admit take responsibility and ban antivax subreddits?

That's not at all controversial. It's correct That said fire in a crowded analogy is terrible, it refers to a legal standard that was overturned and was about jailing people for pacifist literature during WW1

But they did the wrong thing here. For no good reason
553.
by rat87 5y ago
What props they made a pretty obviously wrong choice here. Banning antivax nonsense during a pandemic is no brainer. It is light moderation not heavy. I assume you have no objection to spam or troll moderation, how is this any heavier. If y
