Because mediocrity is so much more important than diversity.

Of course they do.

As we say: "Police partout, Justice nullepart".

Canada scores higher than the US in most freedom of speech indexes/rankings.

I have a feeling you've bought bridges before, haven't you.

I mean, when you consider the US government spends more (almost twice as much) on healthcare per capita than most countries with free healthcare, you're literally paying more taxes for it AND you have to shell out 50k$ when something bad happens.

Your only argument is "Taxes bad" even when we're talking about a system that would actually cost less taxes, just because it has a side effect of also helping less fortunate people.

How much more egocentric can you get lmao

At this point, Microsoft has become a pretty big publisher, moreso than a console manufacturer.

Of course they would like exclusives to go away, that means selling their own games to more people, and distributing Sony's games on their platforms.

Both combined would easily make them more money than selling consoles.

I would definitely expect the Venn diagram of neo-nazis and Karens who give trouble to retail workers to look a lot like a circle.

As long as you have clear boundaries as to what's acceptable or not, a population with critical thinking skills will always be able to tell what's going on.

I had this debate with a friend a while back. He said we should tolerate nazi flags because "what if the government decides the pride flag is a hateful flag". Well, the nazi flag (at least coloquially) stands for "Kill all jews", while the pride flag stands for "Be proud of your sexual orientation and gender identity". One of these passes the hate speech/incitement test, the other doesn't.

There just needs to be consistent and well thought out rules in place. If it's the case, I'm not scared of authoritarians using the paradox of tolerance to their advantage because it's so transparent.
