That's a relief, if nutjobs want to "de-platform" themselves great!

BlackHat: I wonder what kind of dumb it takes to confuse a hat with a person?

Nominal Animal:
The truly sad thing here is that all this crap is creating divisions where there used to be none.

Do you know anyone who is against fairness – that everyone should have the same opportunities?
Other than intersectional feminists and those pushing group politics (with the idea that "positive discrimination is not really discrimination"), I don't.

We all want to make the world a better place, but these anti-rationalists are fucking it all up: we're seriously sliding back towards tribalism and class-based society.

I know quite a few people who would love to physically damage or possibly even kill me for my opinions, but all I want is for these people is for them to realize what their actions and demands lead to – nowhere good – so we can actually do what is necessary to make this world a better place, together.

(Right now, I don't see any way to avoid this ideology: all efforts to do better will be fucked up sooner or later by these ideological automatons. They're even "sanitizing" and "fixing terminology" in the Linux kernel!)

So why the fuck are we, people like Dave, or myself (completely different, but both just wanting to help others, although not always successfully on my part), having to continuously defend ourselves, when aggressive violent authoritarians demands are taken at imagined face value, and the factual and measurable damage they are doing utterly ignored?

This is a frigging clown world.

That will cause all sorts of problems. Use s/Black/Afro_American/g instead.
