Re: A follow-up poll on ESOC off topic controversial content
>A poster states "Asians are the smartest race". Should this be moderated? No. If they have evidence to prove it, why should they be moderated? And even if they don't, it might be just an unfounded opinion. >A poster expresses conservative ideology. Should this be moderated? I don't see w...

Re: A poll on ESOC off topic controversial content
I think nobody doubts that. But then, why would they find "comfort and friendlier environment" only among their kind? Seems a bit primitive. Especially if everyone speaks the same language, so there's no major barrier between people understanding each other.

Re: A poll on ESOC off topic controversial content
It seems like people naturally segregate each other in the USA. At least on a rate above average, there are also cases where this phenomenon happens less. https://www.livescience.com/20663-black-white-segregated-neighborhoods.html So it's not just a question of someone segregating them through exter...

Re: A poll on ESOC off topic controversial content
That could be the case for the first generation of migrants. But the USA is a very socially mobile country, people keep moving for jobs inside the same city, as well as inside states and the whole country. So for those who are no longer first generation migrants and who became culturally American, s...

Let's pick a random case that is not very strongly patterned.

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary
Lol @ actually thinking that anything related to transgenderism will bring or lose votes. It's just not an issue for like 99.95% of the population.

Silicon Valey company from liberal Bay Area conspiring to re-elect Trump, according to liberal Soros. Big, if true.

Re: A poll on ESOC off topic controversial content
Because it's a thinly veiled accusation that you make behind the claim that it's your impression. So that you could still benefit from throwing dirt on someone, without any obligation to prove it. It's not the nicest thing to do. But you told me that people shouldn't be offended so easily and you w...

Re: A poll on ESOC off topic controversial content
As far Dolan, I think sometimes he errs on the side of actual racism (or sexism, or similar unbased prejudices/beliefs that certain groups of people are intrinsically superior). Can you back up your statements with evidence? Because there are lots of accusations being thrown around here, but the wh...

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary
That's pretty much also what I proposed for some time. Make profits trickle down inside the firm, rather than through taxes or services. And refocus the economy on productive ends, rather than paper-pushing and "capital". But then, what do we do next if fully automated agriculture becomes ...

Welp, stifling speech won't change their minds either. Those words only hold power as long as they are forbidden, imo. Might as well let them express it and consume it.deleted_user wrote:Hate *clap* Speech *clap* Normalizes *clap* Hate *clap*

Re: GUA Twitch
Why would you consciously not avoid offending anyone? Seems to me literal definition of an asshole. Where does this end, really? Do we need to make like a catalogue of every conceivable word or phrase that someone might find offensive or they could claim to be offensive, so that we avoid significan...
