Yeah this stuff is getting pretty absurd. Someday in the future we’ll have grants for ugly people or short people because every little inequality must be erased in the human collective.

Countering “misinformation” by correct information is a far better approach than censorship. The logical fallacy of “censorship is okay when I know it’s wrong” sets such a dangerous precedent, yet it’s downright celebrated by America’s left

Uh, maybe you’re just complacent.... not to get into a war of anecdotes, but I live out of Air Bnbs and have lived in 100+ around the world. Very rarely is the place not as it seems, if ever.

I sometimes wonder if the future of humanity sees the decline of the state, and people just live on corporate land (Sidewalk Labs as an early prototype of this idea) protected by corporate militaries (Blackwater)

Ecosia isn't "promoting consumerism". It's simply accepting the reality of it and helping mitigate/counterbalance the damage. There's a key difference there. You can ra-ra all you want about it, but consumerism

This is a very shortsighted and unrealistic way of thinking. Consumerism is core to how our society functions and isn't going away - why should social good and environmentalism fly in contrast to it? This is the same backwards line of

I never said you can't have problems. I'm saying the fact that you think your problems are even comparable to most of the rest of the world comes from a lack of perspective & education. You're more likely to get hit by an

There is an actual commenter here suggesting Flint is an example of "3rd world country". You'd think in the age of YouTube people would have more perspective on the rest of the world. Seriously, one stroll down the giant open

People in the rest of the world die because there literally isn't good care available, regardless of whether they can afford it. As a kid, I once got a big cut and my doctor's only solution was to dump an old vial of iodine on it

Have you ever been to a 3rd world nation? You have no conception of what it's like if you really think living in Flint is somehow an analogue. The sheer lack of perspective of Americans is baffling. You have no conception of just how d

What's with Americans constantly attempting to paint their situation as more dire than it actually is? Is it just a blatant lack of perspective on the rest of the world? Reminds me of an article I read attempting to claim that child mo
