That’s refreshing to hear. I’m pretty damn tired of the far-left trying to bully the world into seeing things their way.


Agreed. We all knew this was going to happen, interns were complaining in advance that the qa would just be cringe questions about ICE.

This stunt totally missed the mark and prevented what would have been much more interesting discussion.


This is one of the comments on that article:

------- > The upside to this is that white people no longer make up the majority at Facebook.

Why is that an upside? It seems utterly racist to me. Let’s try to substitute “white” with, say, Asian.

“The upside to this is that Asian people no longer make up the majority at Facebook.”

Or how about the color black?

“The upside to this is that black people no longer make up the majority at Facebook.”

I wonder how that would go down? -------

I echo this sentiment completely. Why is anti-white racism being encouraged?


Because historically many American companies were 100% white and controlled all the financial and political power. We never had a homogenous Asian or black majority in our society, so there is an attempt here to make up for hundreds of years of segregation where black people were not allowed in the office, the church, the restaurant etc, simply because they were black.


Well, diversity efforts at Microsoft China were trying to move away from the 100% Chinese office. Of course, that being China meant a few foreigners here and there. Some effort really pays off in a very homogeneous environment.


Just as Obama will never be impeached, imprisoned, or in any other way brought to justice for his atrocities committed against the Constitution, the people in the highest offices responsible for the torture will never see punishment. Rightly so I say, there is nothing wrong with interrogating terrorists.


I hope you're joking. Mainly because this line of thinking is easily shown to be slippery. Sure, let's say interrogating terrorists is always good. But what defines a terrorist? All of a sudden black and white becomes a murk, once again.


I completely agree with your points, and just created this account to post something similar until I saw your post.

Reddit is indeed a shithole, filled with an extremely radical left-wing hive mind that is completely devoid of critical thinking skills.


I don't completely agree.

I support Gamergate and do not like SJWs or their movement, but Reddit is not run by or even heavily influenced by SJWs for the most part. The ruthless shadowbanning of people discussing Gamergate was mostly due to very poor research and reasoning by the admins, and the misinformed belief that some subreddits were being raided by 4chan.

SJWs are still mostly a fringe group. In fact, reddit actually fired one of its admins a few months ago for going full-SJW and being clearly very biased towards /r/SRS.

Now, some mods in some of the big subreddits lean a little more left or right politically. The userbase in general is not "extreme left" though, much more center left. Search reddit for IA's and thunderf00t's latest videos and you'll see serious support and upvotes in almost all subreddits.

No offense, but this conspiracy theory mongering just makes this whole thing even harder to debate.
