Let's take it as a given that crime and poverty are strongly correlated then black on black violence isn't an issue of race but a consequence of it, o...
This is a tiresome deflection. It does not invalidate in any way, shape or form the issue of police brutality. Edit: here's an analogy: after the twin...
oh, so they "disrupt families" and at the same time you don't think they "can operate as extended families"? Inconsistent much? You're such a shill fo...
Or, in a single exercise by the government, they lost 1.4 billion USD. I'm doubtful the underfunded IRS could've reasonably be expected to do better b...
nono, don't deflect. We'll deal with what I said (which you again misread) after is it clear you are talking out of your ass when you say "self-avowed...
I don't like the times (global warming, pollution, over fishing, the PRC, mass extinction of species, Russian meddling, Trump and his racist base, I c...
Cool saying. Speaking of culture war. According to Trump the US is under attack from "far left fascism". I suppose, in the case of the US, it's a nice...
Your really can't read can you? They stated "We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement". And why would that be? Maybe bec...
Where is that quote from? Edit: let me rephrase, are you sure 1. you quoted them correctly (hint: no) and 2. that you understand what they're saying o...
Yeah, how about doing that instead of equating their training to what BLM actually stands for. Not that there is anything wrong with Marxism to begin ...
Too early to tell. But with all the symbolic victories and limited, coordinated efforts to resolve the underlying issues, it may very well be it will ...
I'm not buying this. Non-violent protest is preferable if it's effective but violent protests is preferable if nonviolent means are ineffective when p...
The Dutch government has once again reiterated it will not apologise for its slavery past because it would be polarising. :vomit: Apparently some peop...
But isn't that a bit arbitrary? I mean, the Netherlands is tiny with a relatively homogenous culture compared to the USA. Most things are internationa...
Yes, this is not the first time this has happened with laws. Some countries accept universal jurisdiction over human rights cases as well and then the...
I don't see sufficient awareness with most Europeans for any type of action being likely. A statement here and a statement there and in a few months e...
There's nobody here defending the PRC so not much discussion to be had I'm afraid. I read this thread though. It's good the UK is offering a special v...
I think you're missing the point ssu is trying to make. Of course you need consensus. It's precisely why, despite good beginnings you say this: I susp...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toL1tXrLA1c The whole "they took our jobs" skit is economically unsound. In my example, did I get a head start or do y...
I thought so too. It's a bit of a tangent but since you're coming now from the individualist side on these topics I'm wondering about how some things ...
So? What's the return for society to help orphans? By your own criteria that it "must benefit society" we shouldn't be helping them. And I'll remind y...
Yawn. That's almost an argument. First you cherrypick. How does helping orphans benefit society as a whole? Second, since when does alleviating povert...
The treasury department sent $1.4 billion worth of stimulus payments to dead people. The direct payments, which were approved as part of the $2 trilli...
Do I write so strangely for you to miss the point I'm trying to make? Who are the people in power in businesses, politics and governmental positions? ...
As a white man? I'd say it's using our white privilege to forward the agenda of oppressed people mostly by ensuring they are heard. Just watch how mos...
I always find this a rather amusing viewpoint. Nobody partook in a crime either except for the criminal and his victim, yet we go out of our way to pa...
This totally misses the point. Systemic racism is not about "intent" or people "purposefully" doing things now to disadvantage blacks. Let's say yeste...
Exactly. I've always found the just war tradition a convenient excuse for murder. There's an intent behind the theory that's laudable but it's practic...
Let's assume this is all true. This is different from systemic racism because...? Or do you agree there's systemic racism but think people are not cle...
What's actually misused in these debates is the inability for people to make a coherent argument and instead of that post videos from which their inte...
I already did. You cannot infer what you wanted to infer about systemic racism within the police in their interactions with suspects from the way poli...
Simpson's paradox. Look it up. Wrong. So you put out a blurb referencing a survey, which I then look up and read, share with you, you allege I haven't...
I did and I'm not questioning their methodology. I'm questioning the conclusions you think you can derive from it. So again, what's the universe of pe...
