No eye damage in Ottawa, just brain damage

How else would you go about removing the two parties from power?

I don't think continuing to support the party with a vote is really the answer here.

Your solution to losing is to now bandwagon with "the lesser of two evils"? Why wouldn't you abandon that party entirely? There's more than two choices.

They'll kill and take away the rights of people who aren't you though...yay...

To top it off, you go on to bash those who think that's not a good choice

The irony.

But don't listen to me, I'm the stupid one.

Cool, when you and your friends band together and vote for someone who's not apart of the war machine, then you can ride your high horses

This is the only sane answer in here

Do you work for the onion?

This is so pedantic it hurts. I don't know how to dumb this down any further. You win, racism will never end and let's just put everyone in jail. Enjoy!

Not a lot of real world analysis (that's not a priori) that I could find specifically on race, but here's one regarding this issue but with prejudice against transgender:

It's also enabled everyone to see cultures and ways of life they would never be able to before. People can share their differences and traditions more openly too. Knowing more about cultures, practices and different people is what opens doors to not being racist

You're forgetting that we have technology that connects most of the world now, even across languages. This definitely changes things.

But it sounds like you'd prefer to live under a government like the CCP. That way you don't have to worry anymore because they'll take care of everything for you

You're asking me to predict the future, maybe it doesn't happen. Maybe 1 lifetime? Maybe 2?

Who knows, but all we can do in the meantime is continue to actually talk with people caught in the storm.

If the government tries to force speech, what do you think that will do? Do you think everyone will say "oh ok", and just quietly live out their lives at home in resentment or in prison for this never to return?

It's a bandaid to a problem where we're just supposed to trust that governments will always use this power correctly

Why do you trust powerful governments so much?

 

FedNow appears to be launching July 23, 2023. To me, it doesn't seem very good in the sense that the Fed now gets to be a middle man to payment transactions (sure it's "instant" but we're all aware that security != convenience).

It's also a "centralized" solution.

It could be a stepping stone to a centralized digital bank currency is my fear. And also the fed will now be able to see/monitor all transactions through it.
