I know this is bait but I kind of agree. Not sure why it was moved to the flood. Even if it was flagrant shitposting, it still had a semblance of serious discussion value to it.

I can see a case for moving it back, but it's a shitposty/bait thread to begin with which kind of stacks it against itself.

While Dustin is just attempting to ruse he manages to bring up a valid point.Anybody who has a view that is remotely different than the status quo, which is obviously socially liberal, will instantly get shit on and not taken seriously. Freedom of speech, y'all. Everyone should have the right to voice their opinion in a serious matter.

Or is that a working progress?

It's more about the fact that any viewpoint that doesn't conform to a socially liberal standard is immediately discredited by the community.
