This was exactly the problem that Charles Murray pointed out in the bell curve. We're rapidly increasing the complexity of the available jobs (and the successful people can output 1000-1,000,000 times more than simple labor in the world of computers). It's the same concept as the industrial revolution, but to a greater degree.

The problem is that we're taking away the vast majority of the simple jobs. Even working at a fast food place isn't simple.

That alienates a good chunk of the population from being able to perform useful work.

That article you're talking about isn't about brave as a browser. It was a out the brave search engine.

That hasn't been my experience.

It's still a very mixed reaction if you say something contrary to the dominant opinion.

And still just as likely to get strawmanned if you disagree with an aspect, but still overall agree with the conclusion.

Being friendly is far more effective than trying to punish people to make them agree with you. Especially when there's no immediate and obvious consequence of their individual actions.

On my experience, 90% of the time there's more to the story than what people claim to be banned for. I'm not saying that 100% of that 90% of the time necessarily justifies the ban. But it usually changes the context significantly.

You're right that it's incorrect about the racism. I was referring to the discrimination aspect.

If you're aware, then why do you imply that it wasn't discrimination? Or did I misunderstand that?

[-] Galluf@lemmy.world 29 points 11 months ago

It absolutely does make sense because it is discriminatory. He's absolutely correct.

The mistake that you are making, is thinking that all forms of discrimination are bad. They're not. Most are in fact good. We just don't tend to call them discrimination.

That honestly should be the law. If you can't accept it without documentation, you should be required to return it. Of course you can also report it, but that's separate.

They closer they walk the line, the longer they can drag this out before they're replaced. That means more subscribers move on to other active communities.

Whether or not it's tolerance isn't directly important.

The mistake that people make is assuming that tolerance is inherently good. It is to a certain degree, but there are many things that you do not want to tolerate. That's where we want to be.

However, many people think of themselves as tolerant and find it difficult to make that conceptual realization.

I agree. It's absolutely absurd that would say something along the lines of "Fuck, I got r*ped, what do I do?"

I'm of the opinion that you shouldn't censor any words. If you feel the need to censor it, then just don't say it. If you want to discuss it, then be able to say it. You should be able to say something like "X called Y a nigger".

I've been waiting for my third party app to break. Boost finally stopped working an hour ago so I signed up here.
