Controversial - the community to discuss controversial topics.
Challenge others opinions and be challenged on your own.
This is not a safe space nor an echo-chamber, you come here to discuss in a civilized way, no flaming, no insults!
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, "trust me bro" is not a valid argument.

Not controversial with politically literate people, but bigots, fascists, racists, homophobes, transphobes, etc., shouldn't get a platform to spew their shit. Public or private, doesn't matter. And any effort by them to acquire one needs to be put down.
It shocked me when my friends pushed back when I explained why Rogan shouldn't have those people on his show with a freeze peach argument. Those people deserve nothing but a sock full of batteries.
Ahh, yes. The hallmark of the supposedly "politically literate". Wanting to physically beat everyone who doesn't agree. Truly the most enlightened of stances.
It is definitely a hallmark of the politically illiterate to be completely unaware of the paradox of tolerance.
One need not agree with every piece of garbage they're aware of
"doesn't agree" here meaning "is trying to strip minorities of their rights". Just a little intolerance should be tolerated.
Edit: I read some of their comment history, don't bother engaging them. Full mask off shit. Favorite quote: "I don't give a singular fuck about voting rights."
I guess the I have no reason to be tolerant of you since you're trying to strip people of their rights.
