Who cares about left or right wing? I care if it's true. Are people right or wrong?

If you want to join a site rather because it makes you feel better, this probably wasn't the place for you. You will probably feel best, though, if you just type your opinions into a text to speech application and have them read back to you verbatim.

You're acting as if only what is true is applauded here and that what is recognised as true on face value by one is recognised as true by all.

This place is going to deteriorate into Voat in no time at all unless posts that make sweeping generalisations and insults based on race, sex, religion, or broad political markers are restricted to subs that cater specifically to that world view, are labelled as doing that and are removed from all. Because currently there are so many posts and threads on mainstream subs that equate being Jewish with being fundamentally evil or malicious by the nature of simply being Jewish. This is intolerable and this site will die as a consequence. I didn't leave one ID pol platform to find myself on another. I don't want to be around people who are stained with actual hatred and throw it around everywhere. I want a place where my character and the characters of everyone else is judged by merit. If you don't want that then it's you that should have to make a separate and isolated space here, not people like me. And people who do want that can't be debated with, there is no healthy discussion to be had when individual merit is meaningless. How can you expect the people that don't respect the merit of and individual to respect the merit of an idea?

I accept that you're free to say whatever you want, but I don't accept that neutral environments that try to promote healthy discussion should have to cater to such things.

Look at it this way, what if every sub here was dominated by flat feathers, it would get depressing really quickly, wouldn't it?

"Neutral environments" are clearly not something you comprehend, in a neutral environment people will be able to call out or talk about whatever they want, without biases censoring them. You clearly have a bias, which is why you're opposed to people talking about things you object to. Follow your friend to ruqqus, and don't come back here when you fuck up again.

And secondly, Voat is awesome for me, I use it even more than saidit.

Well they will certainly be free to speak without bias, no one is compelling bias, but that doesn't mean people will be unbiased. My argument is that those who are clearly biased against all individuals of a group based on the immutable characteristics of those individuals, race and sex, should not be allowed to display such biases in a neutral environment. It invalidates the concept of it being neutral as it becomes dominated by people with a bias that refuses to accept individuality.

My bias is against these biases taking over the site. That's it.

"When youfuck it up again"

Seems to me the alt right is the one that consistently fucks up it's platforms.

Well if Voat is so awesome why don't you stay there? Why come here at all?

Edit: if you're going to edit your comment at least have the decency to say it.

You originally said "people will be able to... ,without bias."
