There's a section in India who consider anything anti-Hindu and anti-India as free speech but anything anti-Muslim as hate speech. They want to muzzle any discussion of ethnic cleansing of Hindus from Kashmir, Pakistan,…
How's sharing a news article on rape committed by Muslims count as hate speech? Killings by Hindu vigilante groups are reported and shared without considering hate speech against Hindus. Then why the double standard?
I see a lot of people arguing over what should be the minimum floor space requirement for a person. Instead of deciding this beforehand why not let everyone choose what they want, i.e. let the free market operate? The…
I see this line trotted out frequently but this criticism never made much sense to me. The vehicles exist to benefit us. They are either directly transporting us or transporting goods to be used by us. They don’t exist…
>This is India, a system that is notoriously reliant on rote memorisation and turning out employees who crumble under pressure and cannot operate without very specific instructions. This is a pretty biased view,…
This xkcd comic didn't age well: https://xkcd.com/1357/. Liberals used to cheerfully link to this whenever a conservative was deplatformed. I don't think they'll trot out this xkcd anymore when their favored people are…
Is there an objective way of distinguishing between an activist and a bigot? The CCP can just say that they consider this activist to be a bigot. Internet platforms should never have been in the business of censorship.…
I'm surprised why hating on America is fashionable in HN. If this hatred was directed against countries like France or Germany it would be immediately shut down as "nationalist flamewar." I'd also like to point out that…
This comment is unnecessarily antagonistic. The government here doesn't intrude as much on private employment contracts as in Europe. Maybe as a result the salaries in the US are much higher and unemployment rate over…
Who gets to determine who is a "literal Nazi"? Is Jordan Peterson a "literal Nazi"? His films are currently being canceled.
Karl Popper was talking about intolerance as in a group who resort to violent actions against another group (e.g. killing people for making cartoons). Merely expressing an opinion is never intolerance. Karl Popper, a…
When conservatives were banned by internet companies the leftists cheered by saying "Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences." I hope they realize their folly now.

Free speech only for political mainstream is political mainstream speech, not free speech. E.g. completely open borders and unrestricted immigration is surely outside the American political mainstream, is it okay to ban…
When conservatives were banned en masse the liberals cheered. Their argument was that censoring by private companies was totally acceptable. Now that their preferred positions are being censored they've suddenly…
How can the parent topic be something to do with the topic but this comment is not? How can one talk about the Kashmir conflict without discussing it's history? There's regularly discussions about various…
The racism is actually shown by Kashmiri Muslims who ethnically cleansed Kashmiri Hindus. Hundreds of thousands of Hindus were forced to leave the Kashmir Valley.[1] Hundreds of Hindu temples were destroyed.[2][3] Even…
