As I read this post, I find myself wondering who the audience is for instructions on how to read a newspaper. The writing feels almost as if they're explaining some retro tech.

With all due respect, insulting people who lack relative power, and declaring them mentally unfit to run their lives does not make you "a person lacking privilege". Do not think that you're fooling anybody. You're delibe

I think you're going about this a bit too simple and too confrontational. Your original comment started out with a generalizing remark which I felt to be uncivil and I called out out on it. I didn't actually completely disagree wi

This is a good example of why the "I don't have anything to hide" argument is incorrect. That way of thinking only works as long as your goals and positions are aligned with the entity collecting information about you to begi
