That's not really representative. 5/30 posts are about HK and of those 5 I counted the post that says "I don't care bout HK stuff." Across all the blizzard subs except maybe /r/blizzard it's almost b

Why bother replying if you're not going to be charitable in my assumptions? I had never heard of the term but I would certainly agree that it's hate speech. It seems to me that it was a twitter hashtag that some people thought wa

That's the rub with a free society. It's the same terrible people. If we foster hate speech, many people will eventually die. By allowing hate speech, you are allowing that outcome. Perhaps reprehensible is too strong of a wor

Can you provide me of an example where kill all men is not identified as hate speech?

> A huge percentage of our speech is attempted "programming." I absolutely agree. I'm not saying ban hate speech because its programming -- I'm saying ban it because it's evil and effective. It's morally re

Once you allow someone to advertise murder as a solution to a problem it's all down-hill from there.

Why not? There are time-tested slippery slopes in both directions here so the best approach is a cautious one where shades of grey are debated and disputed.

That's not true at all. Maybe in America, I have no idea, but where I'm from its applied equally.

The postmodern gobbleygook in this case is the notion that there are no bad opinions and all speech is valid.

We're all programmable, sure. And I think it's important for their to be competing voices such that we don't end up in the Party. But some level of social cohesion is desirable, and I think starting at the level of 'not

Ah yes, how dare those black players lift their heads up and 'make a scene'. What grifters they are, taking advantage of their blackness to promote themselves.

Hate-speech laws exist because people are programmable. Try and tell me your opinions are your own and the books and media you consume do not own some portion of them. Hate-speech laws exist to prevent the programming of people to systemati

We're offering personal anecdotes as facts on here now? Really?

And it would simply beget more tyranny. 2a is for people who want to larp soldiers -- pretending its a useful addition to a republic is asinine.

No one should own 10, 20, or 100 units of housing. When people finally realize that, there will be hell to pay.

Plantation-style forestry like that found in the US is much less efficient as a sink because the harvesting carbon cost is amortized across a much more frequent harvest cycle.

I think feudal serfs might have faced stiffer penalties for opting out of their existence vs Youtubers opting for another platform/career. This analogy stinks, sorry.
