I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

Here is the CDC Death rate graph as of this moment.
We're approaching or at the death rate of mid March. Why is anyone talking about adding a Nationwide Mask Mandate?
Why is anyone talking about doing anything other than getting back to absolutely normal life?

Different people have very different reactions to President Barack Obama. Those who listen to his rhetoric are often inspired, while those who follow what he actually does are often appalled. https://twitter.com/ThomasSowell/status/1296259225107169280 #Mises #Obama

Surprised to see my city's leadership do something right.

Michelle Obama: Children Are ‘Torn From Their Families And Thrown Into Cages.’ Her Husband Built The Cages.
Former first lady Michelle Obama claimed on Monday night that the Trump administration was taking children from their families and throwing them into cages but failed to mention that her husband, former President Barack Obama, was the one who built them......
photos that circulated online of children in the enclosures generated great anger. But those photos — by The Associated Press — were taken in 2014 and depicted some of the thousands of unaccompanied children held by President Barack #Obama...
Experts hope the collective brainpower housed in these technology meccas might be harnessed to solve the crisis. Sources predict these geniuses will one day provide Californians with enough reliable power to toast some bread while their neighbor runs the vacuum cleaner.

It’s beyond demeaning to Black voters to suggest that the selection of Kamala Harris will lock in their votes simply because of the color of her skin. Totally infantilizes Black voters. It’s absurd. https://twitter.com/dbongino/status/1293355724098109441 #Bongino #Election

Re I personally think the notions of 'white privilege' and 'white fragility' are inherently racist concepts.A lot of people would disagree with me. Some don't even think it's possible...Should people who posit these ideas be punished and excommunicated?Who sets the rules? https://twitter.com/ZubyMusic/status/1290932292324663296 #Zuby

That's how I know what the DNC's strategy is : whatever they accuse the GOP of doing.

I am not persuaded that HCQ is an effective coronavirus treatment. But if I tested positive for coronavirus, and I couldn't get HCQ+zinc+Azithromycin within 24 hours, I'd start breaking all sorts of laws without remorse. https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1289919475291009026 #coronavirus

A day after rap artist #Kanye West responded to those who criticized his emotional admission that he and wife, Kim Kardashian, nearly aborted their first daughter, the self-proclaimed presidential candidate shared an alarming figure concerning #abortion and the African-American community.
These black lives matter.
