At first Pinker sounded too optimist and that he forgot in one article to mention the First and Second Civil Wars of Congo (and the millions of dead i...

I think that for a long time more people have died than on 9/11. Wasn't that number reached in the end of last year or so?

Lol. Yeah right, a culture warrior. You don't even notice how funny you sound.

Which is exactly the thing how to beat Trump. Not doing much is sometimes the correct thing. Not to be a Bernie, which likely would have kept Trump in...

Talk about crowd size. The crowd in the farewell ceremony: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EsLfM1OW4AA9Z-7.jpg No wonder he asked everybody to bring five ...

Wear your MAGA hat around and find out yourself. (Btw, did hostility towards Hillary Clinton persist after the 2016 elections among the Trump crowd?)
January 20, 2021 at 20:20
WTF uprising you are talking? It's not a Civil War with a Bull Run at the start. The timeline I'm looking at is the first term of Biden (if he of old ...

Not actually. A military coup is different. Do notice that an autocoup or selfcoup is still a Coup d'état. It is what has basically happened in Venezu...

This is the scary thing. When something like 34% of Americans still support Trump after this debacle, there obviously would have been the support base...

The New Yorker's Luke Mogelson's video is one of the "best" out there I've seen, which captures the moment. We see the Shaman and the gang in the Sena...

As you yourself noticed, racism is a separate issue and not dependent on the right/left divide. More typically is that the response if someone brings ...

Ah, the squeeze of political polarization! Choose your side and pick up the flag given to you and march along, Garth.

I'm guessing that those who identify themselves "neither" think that because they don't agree with leftist anarchists / antifa-types or with the alter...

I think the real topic is if the leftist bias hinders open discussion, which is crucial for the forum to work.

Well, one could of course quote Olavo De Carvalho. I guess that wouldn't be a reason to be banned. (If it would, I'm really starting to worry about th...
