Considering that just the other day leftists (idk if I'm allowed to use that word on here, hi dang) were just attacking and beating Trump supporters in the streets after one of his rallies, this is an apt analogy.
Maybe you should do some research. Or maybe you have and you just condone this behavior. http://www.dailywire.com/news/4727/belligerent-mob-assembles...
Where did I 'name call' though? Why is this acceptable to you?: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11795186 I'm not religious but this would seem to be absurdly inflammatory in normal contexts. I think that may even…
The article posted is literally about ideological differences so.. what? Also, name calling? What? I see that the submission was removed or flagged down. I suspect that has more to do with the fact that it is critical…
Gun control by definition affects other people. What?
I don't know how you can look at media organizations like the New York Times and not see that they clearly have a comically overt agenda in how they talk about him and represent his positions.
> That in fact, blacks are poor because of their culture and not ongoing structural racism? I honestly feel that any worthwhile conservative arguments are being made by center-left thinkers. What evidence do you have to…
Yeah I agree except for the immigration thing. That is an international affair and a matter of sovereignty and has nothing to do with personal freedoms. Leftism currently is driving the hardest for authoritarianism. I…
To be fair, /r/politics colonized this place about 3 years ago. We're gonna Make HN Great Again.
The raison d'être of leftism is literally to bother other people because it gives leftists a feeling of power.
To be fair, this is mostly goalpost moving. Leftism is now mainstream liberalism. I used to identify as a liberal but now mainstream liberalism (leftism) is against basic things like freedom of speech. Feels weird to…
If he got this far, this guy is about 2 months away from supporting Trump. Leftism is a religion and leftists are some of the most close-minded people you will ever meet. MAGA
None of these societal things I bring up have anything to do with the actual account of the author's fantastically awful and absurd experience with that CEO. He clearly intended this to invoke a much wider discussion…
Ok, I see your point. That's fair.
What would a thoughtful discussion about this particular story look like? What you're advocating for here in terms of policing the type of discussion and the types of people that can contribute to the discussion here…
And yet everyone must live in a society subject to policies that are enacted as response to racism or supposed racism. To suggest that people should be absolutely silent and not contribute to the discourse that leads to…
I'm happy to have an honest and open discussion about it but that's not what most people want. Once you start talking about systemic racism vs the rise of single-motherhood and destruction of the family and…

Please keep that crap in Europe. They're currently reaping the benefits of that particular world view.
I disagree. I very much value being able to without having to constantly watch out for and defend myself against attacks on my person or property. Europeans don't really care about that, neither do San Franciscans…
Brevik attacked an event held by the youth movement of a far left political party in Norway so the father (who I assume is also far left) reacting/coping that way is unsurprising. That's not something to lionize though.…
There's a cost to society >$5 in value when you allow someone so fundamentally anti-social to repeatedly victimize people. Keep in mind he was only sentenced after he was caught and the store owner pressed charges.
A stolen pack of batteries and 2 felonies. Yeah tag the guy and keep letting him steal from people, sometimes he'll get caught, sometimes he won't. That's a great society to live in.
So a twice convicted felon couldn't not commit another crime (theft, no less)? Well by all means the enlightened thing to do would be to allow him to keep victimizing people.
> Also in continental law sentences are shorter and more reasonable; 8 years for murder etc. This may be the most European thing I've ever read.
