MLK was committed to non-violence and believed riots intensified the fears of the white community while relieving their guilt. The temper-tantrum excu...
It is relevant because if someone does not privilege you, you are not privileged. So it is not only unjust to call people who are not privileged “priv...
In order to have privilege one must first be privileged, or in other words, someone must grant him a special right or immunity. If someone doesn’t gra...
The war zone metaphor refers mostly to the tactics of those involved—teargas, projectiles, makeshift explosives, riot shields—and the resultant destru...

Deploying federal agents and detaining rioters, looters and terrorists in Portland is perfectly legal. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/40/1315...
I don’t see how any of that is the case. The rising tide is raising all boats, for instance with the decline in global extreme poverty and the rise in...
I don’t think wealth can necessarily concentrate in the hands of a few because wealth is not a zero sum game. For instance when I make a dollar you do...
It seems to me that the threat of “Russian interference” is largely overblown. If we can avoid this threat by not watching RT or not going on twitter,...
It’s more along the lines of De Tocqueville’s “soft despotism”. You can look to the state to demand of others what you yourself refuse to do, but in s...
I’m not opposed to wearing a mask. It’s just that I prefer when it’s a matter of choice rather than mandatory, and for the same reason I oppose any ma...
The problem is there are downsides to wearing masks, for instance a false sense of security, more face touching. So public health officials need to we...

People who like political correctness routinely say it is about being respectful. But it comes in the form of intolerance and censorship rather than p...
I would argue it’s one of the worst tactic against hate and violence, for a few reasons. One, we need to know who the haters are, and hate speech is o...
People have been speaking about, writing about, and have been warning us about political correctness for decades. Quibble all you need, but I wager mo...
Right, bad optics. I don’t care what people think when justice is on the line. That sort of politics is for the birds. According to Stone they tried t...
