That data was considered in the article I linked. BTW, FIRE is another organization which asserts that there is some kind of free speech crisis on campuses in general, so it's odd to call Vox "apologists" and then link to FIRE.
Do you have any credible dataset that suggests otherwise, or is it just unsupported assertions and cherry-picked incidents that this data has to compete with? So far it seems that all the data available - as incomplete as it is - says that these "free speech" incidents are vanishingly rare and mostly aimed at leftist speakers/professors.
That's right, one of the pillars of contemporary right-wing outrage is a completely fabricated issue, lacking even a kernel of truth and actually running counter to reality. Spread the word.
I can't resist, why would a Libertarian *not* dump benzene in the river? Out of the goodness of his heart? There shouldn't be any environmental regulations stopping him after all. And what would other Libertarians do to stop him, write him a sternly-worded letter appealing to the goodness of his heart? Or perhaps more seriously, organize a boycott against him? That might work if most aren't dumping Benzene in the river out of the goodness of their hearts...and the dumper relies on local buyers/suppliers, and can't hide his activity behind shell companies...
So far I haven't heard a realistic proposal for fixing these problems that most people who call themselves libertarians would be happy with, which is why benzene rings falling into a river should be the libertarian party's logo in my mind. But I think there are some people who unfortunately saddle themselves with that terribly tainted label when they should really find another one.
I didn't know I had to list the proposals here. Tax the shit out of tech megacorps at the state level and remove stupid building height limits? Those are some. If the megacorps want to move elsewhere, GOOD, that'll reduce geographic income concentration, which may look bad on the state budget, but will make the place into less of a cyberpunk dystopia.
It's not really a liberal vs conservative thing, but in the Bay Area liberals are definitely the ones obstructing new housing projects (mainly because the homeowners in the area are mostly liberal), while at the same time complaining about inequality.
Agreed. It's a straightforward largely non-ideological property conflict in which nobody who wants to end the madness has any power. I expect SF's housing situation will resemble South Africa's in a decade or two.
It should be. Those idiots deserve it not only for being dumbfuck racists, but for treating the Fisher-Price Babby's First Ethnicity Test results with such confidence. Either factor alone would be enough to warrant a sound trolling.
Interestingly the white supremacist...community (centipede hive?) has responded to the fact that they're not "Aryan" Ubermensch by shifting to a "well as long as you're white-ish and support white nationalism" standard for membership.
The tech megacorp cities are closer to libertarian than liberal, but the biggest problem next to pointless geographic income concentration in general is stupid zoning and building regulations that I'm sure most liberals without a vested interest in existing SF real estate would not support.
Liberals aren't mindlessly against removing all regulations they way conservatives are mindlessly against making any. There's nothing wrong with changing or removing ones that have proven to be stupid and damaging like SF's zoning/building regulations.
I didn't RTFA, but deplorables aren't deplorable because they're poor. In fact many deplorables are rich. What makes deplorables deplorable is their support for white nationalism and a trashy dogshit racist manchild president.
That's a hilarious quote, liberals are the ones actually proposing legislation to fix the problem rather than just giving out tidbits of advice on how to get a real good grip on your bootstraps.
But the right probably sees that legislation as "blaming" because they don't want the people benefitting from the explosion of inequality to stop benefitting - even poor people on the right who are taking the brunt of the damage, but willingly hurt themselves for the sake of stupid-ass culture war horseshit, just as planned by their wealthy masters.
Don't today's landed gentry want "The Stacks" for the peasant class? It seems that they do by the way they vote. Or would they prefer the cleaner look of Terrafoam?
Does the name Seahorse offend you? It will after you accidentally save credentials you don't want saved in Gnome/MATE desktop and then have to figure out which program handles them.
Where are the control hijackers and the control triangulators and the GPS jammers and the laser weapons and the trained falcons and the dudes with shotguns loaded with birdshot!?!? How can this laughable shitshow go on for over 12 hours!?
No, in practical terms that is exactly what it is. You can make money on investments in your sleep and you can hire people to manage the investment for you for a small fraction of what the investment makes. Yes technically something could go wrong and it takes work (by other people) to maintain, but a stash of gold bars would need security too, and even banks have fees...
I've been thinking that it might be best to make an exception for characters/properties still in use, or possibly even for Steamboat Willie in particular, than to let Disney continue to hold a world of material hostage for forever minus a day over one fucking cartoon.
Actually that's not a great analogy, in privacy terms this is even worse than the quasi-sabotage of Chernobyl, but the damage is worse than Chernobyl, Fukushima and Kyshtym combined.
Everyone involved in this should be banned from working with personal information for life, and a concrete sarcophagus should be built over Facebook HQ.

Attack the source all you want, you can't attack the facts and numbers they cite.
And Breitbart doesn't deny the rise of white nationalism, it attempts to rationalize and normalize it.
The campus "free speech/political correctness run amok" crisis is entirely fake.

Happened on 1/4, reference to the white supremacists' "14 words?"
Forecastie was right there in the F-Droid store the whole time.

Well the company is called "Project Mu."
At least they took the name of a company that makes brake parts instead of another computer-related thing this time.

Came here to mention Diaspora.
A large chunk of the US GDP gets turned into smoking craters in the middle east, or gets locked in Scrooge McDuck vaults in Switzerland.
I'm still using Facebook as much as before, which is 0 because I don't have an account.
Radioisotopes decay but the Internet never forgets.
