It may have to do with being or having been victims of discrimination, especially for people who live in or come from less tolerant societies....
Sorry, but your comment looks like typical intersectional dogma, with the immediate categorisation of everyone into "oppressor" and "oppressed"...
I think that science is the best way to understand the world, so I dislike all ideologies, whether secular or religious. Scientists start with...
You're welcome. I think you make a very good point, that perceptions of what is equal vary with beliefs and expectations. In India, for example,...
Men in general are less likely than women in most countries to call themselves "feminists", but attitudes about most gender issues seem to vary...
A plausible reason for the negative feeling you describe is the loss involved. If you've assumed you're straight or bi, then accepting being gay...
I don't think people who believe that markets will solve problems of discrimination understand the way markets work. If a majority dislike a...
Property rights are necessary, but it's not necessary to grant enforcement of property rights to people who happen to own land now, because...
I'm not a Trump supporter, but I see him as the lesser evil against Clinton. On the first point, Trump has been non-racist and...
How does it serve those who don't own the land? The problem is there's a limited supply. When you take some land by force, you're depriving...

Maybe I can't understand unless you define what you mean by 'romantic'. Friends don't normally want to, say, touch each other in an intimate...
Unless I'm missing something, your argument is actually that sexual attraction can exist without romantic attraction. That doesn't imply the...
I'm no expert on this, but some of the classes I've taken involve political science and voting. I think the issue (real or imaginary) is that...
I think the main ethical argument for taxation comes from the fact that ownership of land and other natural resources is kind of arbitrary. If...
Trump is a populist, not a fascist, and he isn't nearly as bad as a lot of populists in Europe, like Wilders or Le Pen (whose father is probably...
I wanted Bernie, but between Trump and Clinton, I'm another one who hopes it's Trump. I constantly hear how horrible Trump is, but if you do...
Ow, that reminds me so much of my friend. I remember how much it hurt when he suggested things like that and later backed out. (*hug*) Maybe he's...
Hi Diego. I can sympathise with you, because I faced a somewhat similar situation. There was no violence, it started only about a year after we...
