Hey Portland - you might get what you deserve.

"To be hating on trans people." Oh, now I see that you didn't mean hate literally. You meant it in the hip "why you being such a hater?" slang way. That's a little better I guess. At least you're not accusing me of literally committing a hate crime or some shit haha. Thanks for clearing that up.

No

My bad about calling them protesters. Rioters then.

The Jan 6th right-wing nutters were a band of insurrectionists, not rioters.

I borrowed the grizzly bear line from Sam Harris. He says he sees people as grizzly bears. Tell me the difference in the level of free will between us and them, and I'll change my stance. If it doesn't make sense to hate a grizzly bear, then it follows that it also doesn't make sense to hate any human. We are merely the universe playing itself out. It's all just a movie, and our scripts are written for us. Of course you would interpret my comment there as me graduating from racist to now hating all humans because I compared us to another animal (by ripping off Sam Harris). Understanding that we lack free will actually helps people show more compassion towards people like the poor souls sitting there in prison because of their biology and environment. Understanding about a lack of free will can turn people against the death penalty, and make them more likely to want more livable conditions for prisoners. Seeing people as grizzly bears is actually a great thing and should make you more compassionate. Not the other way around.

No, it isn't a good way of seeing people. It's totally dehumanizing even if hard determinism is true (which it's not)
