Re: ESOC and Racism
A few thoughts on this topic. If you think the definitions in (1.) and (2.) are too narrow, or if you directly disagree with any of the points (or parts of them), please do explain why. 1. Racism is the idea of an ethnic group of people that are superior or inferior to other ethnic groups when it co...

Re: ESOC and Racism
It's not a binary. It's about improving the average across a large population. And that same idea is at the heart of a lot of left policy. Yet left wing policies always wind up lowering the average. When you give people free shit without them earning it, they are worse off. This is learned helpless...

Re: Minneapolis riots
[mention]u1387[/mention] I never doubted that there would be right-wing instigators. What I was skeptical about was whether they really posed as antifa (or other groups) in any significant way. In the videos you showed they are obviously not antifa (an all-white male antifa group seems unlikely), th...

Re: Minneapolis riots
Planting bricks would not help in police work. But if the police (or members of the police) wanted to escalate things, planting bricks for rioters to use would make sense I do find your explanation very reasonable, for police to take away bricks from the streets do make sense. I do not however see h...

Re: Minneapolis riots
I really hope what Dolan posted is the truth. If it isn’t and police really are placing bricks around for rioters to use, this is really sick. I mean they are not killing or beating up people in this video, but this is not done in the heat of the moment. It would be planned. That would truly make me...

Re: Minneapolis riots
I've heard that there were stacks of bricks appearing near protest sites, but not that it would be the police stacking them. Can you link any of the videos of this? As for police grade flash bangs and smoke grenades being used, is that so strange (if it isn't a considerable number of them) consideri...

Re: Minneapolis riots
I've heard a couple of times now that people think there might be white racist posing as antifa, or that the police have members joining the protestors to throw things and purposely escalate the protests into violence. Especially the last part with the police I find very hard to believe. Have there ...

They are partly at fault, yes. The rioters are partly at fault too. It isn't the police who are looting and pillaging.fightinfrenchman wrote:Police are the ones escalating these protests into violence

Re: Minneapolis riots
Nice rant. I never said that it's currently realistic for the world to use leverage to get the US in line, just that it's becoming important. You said it was a bad time for Brexit, in the context of US needing economic competitors who can put pressure on the US to do the right thing. If you don’t t...

Re: Minneapolis riots
It's becoming important that the US has economic competitors. The rest of the world needs leverage to be able to stop it from committing war crimes against its own citizens and to stop it from sliding further towards authoritarianism. Such a bad time to Brexit.. What competitors, China? Yeah, becau...

Re: Minneapolis riots
Honestly not many people listen to the radio these days, right? It’s all on Spotify or Apple Music or similar platforms that are not radio-like. At least in the US it’s like that. SiriusXM and stuff is popular but old fashioned radio doesn’t seem to be, especially in the younger generation. And hon...

Re: Minneapolis riots
Need some advanced AI then For streaming services, it would probably be needed. Or maybe one could have a system where people can report songs they find should be locked behind age restriction, then when a song reaches a certain number of reports they could have someone look at the song and then de...

Re: Minneapolis riots
You should be able to sing about whatever you want in whichever way you want. That doesn’t mean it should be played on the radio. If the song promotes or glorifies criminality it should be banned from radio and have an age restriction on music streaming services, just like videogames have an age re...

Re: 2020 US Elections
I'm probably missing something, but I don't see why Trump's statement of "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" would be promoting violence. That there is shooting when there is looting just seems as a logical consequence to me. When you have so many people with firearms, of cours...

Re: Minneapolis riots
They didn't listen when they're petitioned. They didn't listen when people started kneeling. They didn't listen when it is peaceful assembly. They started listening when property was damaged. Did they? As far as I know the only thing they have done is charge the police officer with murder, nothing ...
