Say what you want about lax US gun laws, but they do deter the type of protest that we saw in Canada. Nobody would do that here, because homeowners would be outside brandishing forearms firearms.

I think this is actually a fairly powerful theory for explaining the situation in random hobby groups, especially ones that otherwise ban political discussions.

They also single our reply all podcast, which seems weirdly unfair.
But if they're trying to inform online trans people of what communities to steer clear from to avoid being tired out, I think that list is fair-ish.
I think they based this on user overlap rather than the content of the subs.

Let me indulge in a bit of repetition here: the right leaning things that will get you kicked off reddit won't get you in trouble with rightwing circles. The left leaning ideas that you aren't allowed to say on reddit you're also not really allowed to say anywhere lefty, so you're dealing with a lot of self-censorship.

Owch, name recognition, and not the good kind. I'm curious about how I earned a place in your rogues gallery. Am I really that bad?

That's "so little"?
That's.... set of true facts. But yeah, at the end of the day, it's one guy who used his ability to develop kompromat to leverage himself into a situation where he could live the amoral child rapist lifestyle he craved.
I wouldn't expect a Netflix documentary about him or Maxwell if he was just the tip of the iceberg. I would expect either his victims to be missing (they aren't) or the supposed Bill Gates/Hillary Clinton victims to exist (as far as I know, they don't.) Best I have for you is that prince from England; he done it. But I don't think it's a case of 'the elietes' all being secretly pedos or whatever. At least, not based on Epstein.
Epstein's connections got him out of jail, so someone somewhere is complicit. I don't think you can make the magical leap that everyone is complicit, or that they all partake in his crimes.
That's selling him a bit short.
My threshold for caring about this guy after trawling through his email is incalculably high. He's just not that interesting, as his resume indicates. I wasn't able to find anything spicy and neither, apparently, was anyone else, so now we're looking at his... art collection?
Seriously?
If you really believe that there's a grand conspiracy of elietes, find another one to pick on, otherwise it seems like there's just a fixation on this one dude that leads to fanfiction being written about him. It's a lot like with the fixation on Trump, except of course Trump was actually important for a while.

Rockets almost never launch humans into space. Does that imply that humans being launched into space isn't caused by rockets?

I didn't say that it was breaking the system, I did say that it was removing their incentive to fix it.
Exactly how should Scott fix the red tape in the system?
Refuse to do business by fax.

After some googling I can confidently say that POC and BIPOC refers to the same set of people, and it's identical to adding+ to LGBTQ.

The decision to take a vaccine can only be understood in context of (what I see as) the authoritarian push that surrounded it.
I guess we just straight up differ here. I see it mostly in the context of what it costs (practically nothing) and what it achieves (some nonzero decrease in the chance that people get sick.) If you only care about the signaling you can always get vaccinated and not tell anyone.
From my perspective you were party to a crime in lending emotional support to a push for mandatory medical procedures.
I've been careful to repeatedly state my opposition to mandates, which I don't agree with. I have a personal issue with people not doing it.
If you're willing to stretch to see me as morally culpable for mandates, would you permit me to see the antivax movement as morally culpable for the FDA's extremely slow, fatally cautious rollout of the vaccines, leading to excess deaths including people I really would have preferred to remain alive?

I just don't think it's a particularly reasonable principle and it never was. Good movies are an art and art is for expressing themes which are sometimes political. It might be more reasonable to ask that politics be kept out of pornography.

The cool thing about D&D is that if you want to play a vegan mind flayer and your DM wants to make it work, you totally can.

I believe it has something to do with what is politely termed HBD; a fear that the wrong sort of people (let's be charitable; uneducated) are reproducing and the right sort of people (let's be charitable: educated) aren't and thus the wrong genes will win.
So I think that's why it's a discourse in this space.
I don't subscribe to any of that; I believe in natural selection and that Eugenics is a mistake.
But let me make the case for natalism for you.
Why bring children into this world? To pay off the debt incurred by your own existence. How else can you possibly justify your carbon footprint, your consumption of the Earth's precious irreplaceable resources? The Amazon burns for the global economy that feeds you. Yes there's suffering and worry in the world, but at the heart of it is people trying to make the world better for their kids. This work has stretched back onto time immemorial. Are you so special, is your life really the pinnacle of it all?
No, I say. Being a parent is hard work, and you may think of it as a sacrifice, but it's really sacrificing your option to defect in a prisoner's dilemma. Plus, it's rewarding and all that.

They really shouldn't be doxing people on a public site. If they only shared dox with trusted associates thay could get their jollies without risking the wrong sort getting their hands on dox. But they've been posting it in the clear for nine years and that makes me think Null is not only ok with the consequences of public doxing, but actively encouraging it.

NATO doesn't protect anyone from invasion, quite the opposite actually.
NATO countries invaded by RF: 0
Non-NATO countries invaded by RF: 2
Gaddafi got what? His fair trial according to the rule-based liberal world order?

By democratically seceding?
The war of course started not with the secession itself but with confederates attacking federal assets (Fort Sumter.)

Again, there's a whole series of convenience store robberies you haven't looked at if Russia is the main perp in your eyes.
Are there other nuclear arsenals aimed at the US? China's is unimpressive compared to Russia's, but don't get me wrong, when (if?) China invades Taiwan I will have zero problem with the unholy gift basket of armaments my tax dollars will provide them with.
Having a de facto NATO protectorate on your border is a matter of life or death for Russia.
How unfortunate for them. Maybe if they didn't make NATO the only way to avoid getting invaded and instead offered a better deal they wouldn't be in this mess.
How well did the Arab Spring go for liberal democracy in North Africa and the Middle East?
Man, it's been a while. i think the fondest hope was that Iran would flip, and it didn't.
But Gaddafi got his, so there's that.
Maybe it's a circumcision thing too, if you're uncut you require no lube and can get real far focusing pressure on the frenulum.
