Well I'm holding you in contempt in court for making a joke that I didn't agree with. I hope you're ready to pay a huge fine, because this is an open and shut case.

It isn't JUST speech that radicalizes people. There are a plethora of underlying material conditions that contribute as well, but nobody here is talking about any of those. We can't just prevent people from saying bad things, we have to address things like education, poverty, inequality, housing, and journalistic integrity before we can just punish insulting sentiments.

That's fundamentally not the same thing, don't be obtuse for the sake of debate points.

Insults and general demeaning comments should not be punished in the court of law. Saying offensive things should not be punished in the court of law.

As I said before, the action/intent is the part that should be punished. Providing private information about someone who you disagree with or want to incur harm upon is an action with malicious intent.

As a leftist, I fail to understand why we always jump to tone policing and purity politics? We can identify the material conditions that cause radicalization and general bigotry and act upon these things, but we always just jump to punishing people for being radical bigots, which only further galvanizes those positions.

We're not making these spaces smaller, we're making them more volatile by doing this. They see these conversations and think "this is why we have to remove leftism, because they will punish us for crimes we have yet to do" and that's precisely what this argument is.

Well I mean that is literally the point of the meme we are all commenting under right now, so yes that is what I thought you were saying....

Yeah and Hillary would've been better? What about Amy Coney Barrett?

Because neoliberalism and republicanism are both terrible, and because the DNC is crooked as fuck

If you already live in a place that is difficult for you to afford, how are you supposed to be able to afford moving to a different state? You're having trouble paying rent/mortgage, but you're still able to save a few grand to move your whole life across state lines? What about changes in your income due to the change of state?

There are so many more factors than "you make x, this place costs y, so move dipshit."

Sure!

Valheim is fantastic, Kenshi is brutal and unforgiving but very fun, outward is similarly difficult and fun, also very unique.

Open world is kind of a huge genre, so I'd even say games like Subnautica, terraria, etc might be up your alley.

Edit: I can't believe I left out no man's sky and hyper light drifter! Highly recommend them both, no man's sky is such a good space life sim and hyper light drifter is kind of like a throwback to the first Zelda game, but obviously updated and with some different intentions to the gameplay/story. Happy gaming!

More like of rbg hadn't been so stubborn and had actually stepped down when Obama was in office, we wouldn't have a republican majority on the supreme Court.

So you get a bunch of radicalized people that say shit but don't do anything about it?

In order for that group of radicalized people to be dangerous, they would have to do something right? Maybe that means March around in Nazi regalia, maybe that means some sort of assault or altercation. But it's at that point that those people should be charged, not when they are online saying dumb shit.

Well then you know how the rest of the relationship will likely work out at that point
