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.

A good friend was in Columbine high school during the shooting. Now 20 years later another friend's kids, who are friends with my kids, were at the Highlands Ranch STEM school during this shooting.

If #antifa is the opposite of #fascism then I would side with the #fascists every day of the week. It's ironic, as I detest #socialism, and fascism is a #socialist philosophy, and national socialism even moreso. But it is mostly because Antifa has no idea what fascism is. If they did, they'd either have to stop behaving in a #fascist manner, or stop pretending to hate fascism and just admit they are basically#nazis.

This is why they keep calling everyone "far right"
The right barely moved and the left has gone off the rails
Today I saw a screening of a movie a few months early. If I post about any details, they'll sue me for a million dollars plus costs and attorney fees. I'll tell you about it in a few months.

Christian persecution 'at near genocide levels'
The interim report said the main impact of "genocidal acts against Christians is exodus" and that Christianity faced being "wiped out" from parts of the Middle East.
"What we have forgotten in that atmosphere of political correctness is actually the Christians that are being persecuted are some of the poorest people on the planet."

Honestly shocked the BBC allowed this to be published

@Surasanji Thats fine, but so far Bernie doesnt seem to fit that bill or any politician. The last thing I would use to describe a politician is someone who is "far better educated than me"

Christian persecution 'at near genocide levels'
> In some regions, the level and nature of persecution is arguably coming close to meeting the international definition of genocide, according to that adopted by the UN.

Jakarta is sinking. Interesting article but it ends with this penultimate paragraph :
“The message here is that technology can't get us out of this,” Kiparsky adds. “You need something more difficult—you need institutional solutions, you need political will to do something radical.”
The rejection of innovation, invention, and science in favor of centralized authority seems to be a disturbing pattern when discussing big issues lately.
