Doesn't it sound at least a little bit foolish to trust someone else to intentionally censor the politics of your internet? You're creating your own echo chamber.

How can you understand and disagree with the other side if you can't even read their content? I'm not even talking about hate groups, I'm talking basics like WikiLeaks and the NRA.

Who the fuck uses instagram for group chats?

Hinduism often has a belief in, "sanctity of the cow, ... the belief that the cow is representative of divine and natural beneficence and should therefore be protected and venerated" (Brittanica).

One could argue that eating beef is inciting and degrading to [probably a select few] members of Hinduism.

Why not use income and where you live rather than race, then?

Right. There's no reason why private jets shouldn't be paying to offset 100% of their emissions. For cars it's a different story because it's a tax on the poor for something they need. Private jets are purely luxuries, only used by the wealthy, and have a viable alternative.

Nope. Under 10% of households have a swimming pool, but over 40% of households have a gun in the USA. When we're talking about owning one as opposed to actively using one, the pool is more dangerous than the gun.

Now, if you just left your loaded gun out in your backyard 24/7, it may be a different story.
