Controversial - the community to discuss controversial topics.

Challenge others opinions and be challenged on your own.

This is not a safe space nor an echo-chamber, you come here to discuss in a civilized way, no flaming, no insults!

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, "trust me bro" is not a valid argument.

I disagree with, and despise people who spew hate speech and other bigoted bs...but I also don't believe in using violence against anyone merely because I disagree with their words. I think most reasonable people could perceive how that might become a "slippery slope".

It might, but at this point the kid gloves have to come off. We're coming ever closer to climate catastrophe, and we get nothing but platitudes and half measures. Wages are nowhere near to liveable, and we get nothing but a boot to the face. Hateful bigots have free roam to spew their shit in the streets, internet, radio and print, and now they run the government and spew their shit with no consequences and we get their hatespeech converted to policy.

Taking the high road is a losing strategy.
