Debate is a key value in a sane society. Monopolistic ideas and people who refuse contradiction are the first steps towards a soft form of totalitarianism. Spoiler -------- "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" This magical sentence used to be what educated people would argue for. That was the noblest form of tolerance and intellectual openness. It's sad that people forgot it.

I understand and share your concern, because the world does have a couple of screws loose But we (the common people) are its best hope. Whatever we think (left, right, etc.), we heve to step up for the freedom of thought. Thinking against our certainties and allowing all opinions to be expressed (incl. those we disagree with) are our best hopes to cool down the nuts impulses. PC is trying to shut to shackle critical thinking, with concepts like "safe spaces, hate speech, etc.". All these may have good intentions, but they surely have crazy consequences. Despite the sad ambient music, let's keep our hopes high.

August 4, 20195 yr The US media have lost it. Now, when they don't like a politician, they call her/him a "Russian propagandist" (whether he/she is on the left or the right).

Reveal hidden contents The US corporate media is dying a slow death. They intentionally create biased sensationalized click bait articles, stories, etc to stay afloat. I don't care what anyone says, the US media loves Donald Trump because he makes them money.
