Refute seems a bit strong.

A segment on the radio over the weekend made me think of this conversation and change my thinking.

"The response to hate speech isn't silence, it's more speech."

Sort of what I was getting at by saying to deamplifying hate speech, not ban it, but yes, censorship isn't necessary. I stand corrected.

The token Armenian from The Young Turks split over trans issues. Making light of the Armenian genocide is one thing, but youth gender medicine is a bridge too far!

Should be in the hate on progressives thread, but it’s incredible that proggles appear to be willing to burn everything to the ground over this one thing. Medicare for All is forgotten. Green New Huh? Roe? No! Everything we understand about biology, medicine, psychology, and the scientific method that put people on the moon must be tossed because of this one thing. And god help you if you question it publicly.

If in 2023 you are describing Rolling Stone as either “the media” or “we,” you are outrage farming every bit as hard as they are.

“Even singer described himself as dead center” is a pretty funny sentence to write about anybody though.

Am I the only one who's never heard the word Misogynic before?

My phone doesn't recognize it. I googled it and some sites say it's a synonym of misogynistic and one says it means mistrusting women, but not necessarily hating them.

I thought he was just mispronouncing misogynistic.
