All those BLM protesters entrenched in the beauty of black culture have only just realised the revolution will not be televised.

Almost all if they are mostly a bunch of ignorant kids and scrawny white guys or something.

It seems to me recently that Reason has lost all reason and turned to the dark side. I wasn't remotely an avid follower, but I liked some of their stuff. Recently it seems they've flipped Reason's reasoning on its head. Am I wrong and/or has it been longer?

What's wrong with this article?

It's not this article so much. I find the title far too vague, and I'd expect them to fight back much harder.

But either yesterday or the day before I saw one that just flipped my entire view of them. I just did a SaidIt "site:reason.com" search but everything was 11 days or older. If I could even recall what the subject was I could remember what the article was about. Brain fart. Sorry.

I hope I'm wrong.

While I don't always agree with them, I've found Reason to be a pretty good resource so I'd be interested in seeing which articles you didn't care for.

I hope I'm wrong and spoke too soon. I also hope I run across that other article to point out and clarify. I admit, thus far I sound like a naysayer loon, and I despise that in others and even more so in myself.

What's the problem?

Are you allowed to think?

[–]Ergu 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yes. As long as you think what you are supposed to think.

It's all true. I've seen it myself. Some brave souls still make it in there with a camera and an uplink occasionally, and this is exactly right.
