    “Free speech” isn’t the problem though? Butker has a stupid worldview, and Kaepernick was raising awareness of a real and important issue.

    They can say whatever they want without retaliation from the government, and that’s freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is not freedom from ridicule or consequences from other people.

    It’s not some fundamental question if rights. It’s very simple: your ideas are shit, so we don’t like you and think you should shut up.







  • Better to do nothing, so we can continue living in a world where minorities aren’t armed, and where racism and oppression don’t happen, right?

    America has a mass shooting problem. Gun control sure seems to be an effective way to stop children from being killed in schools, and caring about children being safe doesn’t mean I don’t care about PoC.

    The whole point was that A) minorities should arm themselves, which you clearly agree with and B) that IF conservatives are scared of an armed minority population and create gun control laws (which we’re all acknowledging would be intended to harm minorities), there would still be a positive effect in that children would be safer.

    There’s further discussion in the second link where the original authors stand by their claim.

    The two use different statistical methods to try to demonstrate the conclusion, and that’s where the difference lies.

    I’m not a big stats person, but I’m coming away feeling like the original claim is valid since a) it was shown in two different models the original author used and b) it makes intuitive sense to me.
