It's easy to justify harming others. I don't understand OP, you're asking if there's any "what" justification? Reasonable? Sustainable? I think we liv...
I think there are a few reasons why this occurs. 1. Different answers for different people Self-explanatory, we're not the same. Someone who is born w...

I agree with your level of analysis. It is preferable to focus on the present individual and the interpretative relevance of race being reduced is alw...
Great video. I think people don't understand that living with basically nothing but some housing and basic stuff is not what people want. They general...
You're preaching to the choir a bit, I haven't heard anyone in this thread dispute that wealth inequality is often characterised by the social circums...
Debating wealth redistribution is another thread but provided there's no racial element, I am a strong believer in it. Without wealth redistribution, ...

I've always believed that if something can be uttered by anyone, we shouldn't focus on the someone that actually uttered it. It's also important to no...

The thing is while I'm happy to acquiesce that we can't compare the alt-right with opinions from a generalised list of countries, people are still in ...
Pauline Hanson is probably the strangest politician I know of in her openness about anti-Islam, you've set a really high bar for me. Similar criticism...

What are my "facts"? I'm offering interpretations to you, not facts, you actually still can't tell the difference lol. I have told you many times that...
