critical race theory is nothing more than how laws, social and political movements, and media shape, and are shaped by, social conceptions of race and ethnicity. “The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. T

Yes, particularly his line how " Advertisers are not being manipulated by activist groups " convinced me that whoever Lou Paskalis is, he's either intentionally lying or willfully ignorant[1][2]. Either way, it proves he has

Why is HN so obsessed with Elon buying Twitter? The non-stop obsessing is a bad look.

The fact that public perception is so ass backwards and easily manipulated speaks volumes about the value of it.

I always find it most amusing how many fans of the Onion get irrationally angry at the Babylon Bee.

It's extortion if you think coordinated boycotts are also extortion. They're two sides of the same coin.

Really? Facebook and Google have provided homes for Farrakhan, ISIS, etc. and they're the two largest advertising platforms on the planet, yet Elon is a dick so that it as bridge too far? Fascinating lol

I always felt like they borrowed heavily from Public Enemy. PE had the rap/rock fusion down in 1986/7. Listen to songs like Sophisticated Bitch or She Watch Channel Zero with Vernon Reid (of Living Color) on guitar, or the Bring T

Under-represented...where exactly? I'm interested in hearing which groups that you think are under-represented based on their percentage of the population.

Somebody has to make sure shit gets done though, the world doesn't run completely on empathy. It's nice that people like this are privileged enough to live in a time where they can literally do nothing and expect others to conside

Unpopular opinion: most of "Higher Education" is just a jobs program for people with liberal arts degrees, funded by theft of the future earning potential of the youth.

Every state offers State ID's, you don't need a drivers license. And since you need an ID for countless different things other than voting, it's not absurd to ask for one. Also, as mentioned, EVERY state that requires ID to v

Anywhere that ID is required to vote offers free options for ID. That is by law, due to poll tax restrictions, so what you're saying is not true. Also, in states that require voter ID there are no "groups" who are under-repre

Homeschooling is tiny fraction of a percent. Meanwhile, standardized test scores in public schools are down across the board and have been trending down for years .

It's weird because it feels like the younger generation is devoid of original thought, and completely lacking in logic. Everything is run on emotion. As a proud member of Gen X, we are definitely the only sane ones :)

Why are tech journalists becoming so obsessed with all these twitter stories? Because these are not "journalists" in any real sense of the word. These are mindless bloggers, many of them interns. Value their output accord

So if it's racist to demand ID for voting, is not also racist to demand a RealID for flying?

Google and Meta track for the US Government though, TikTok tracks for the CCP. That's literally it. That's the difference. Big Tech is part of the government surveillance apparatus. The reason Russia and China don't want Go

Certain people just refuse to accept certain groups of people are capable of accomplishment without outside help or uniquely uncommon circumstances. Sounds like the solution then is to remove that outside help, and thus all doubt.

If there are no systems of government compatible with freedom, does that indicate there is a problem with the idea of freedom or a problem with the idea of government?

I imagine you've never really engaged in political philosophy very thoroughly? The opposite, I grudgingly came to this conclusion after decades of believing (or I guess, hoping) differently. Not that it's an original conc

Democracy is incompatible with freedom. As soon as enough people decide I should die or lose my possessions or do some other thing I don't want to do, I am forced against my will with violence. So we are stuck relying on the intelligen
