Person's stance on politics is one of the most valid reasons for judging them.

The real bias is that free speech is in the hands of a few tech companies who control how everyone gets information today.
Wellll... they aren't having as much sex as we did at that age, they have to express that frustration somehow.
No, not really. Because then they are no longer a person but a label.
Sorry I couldn't resist.
My Midnight Edge reference for the year is used up now.
I am actually impressed how people have behaved in the thread so far. Everyone has their theories and perspectives but no hostile fighting. Granted I proably just jnked the thread by saying this. To rules to compliments. Never praise a basketball players ability to hit free throws while he is doing it and never talk up a thread during mid-thread. Jason
Exactly. When young people aren't given all the information and are brainwashed by teachers with a biased agenda it's no wonder society is full of ignorant snowflakes. Parents need to do better when choosing what their children are exposed to also.

Sounds like what the "grown ups" said in the 50s and 60s.......All of this has happened before.......and will happen again.
Labels are useful. Otherwise you might accidentally drink dish soap. Political parties and organisations have goals, and people who support those parties support those goals. So if a voter supports a blatantly racist party or a politician it is perfectly OK to judge that voter based on that.
We were doing so well.
Knock off this sort of term please (and I don't want to see "cuntservative" either, before the bias accusations begin).
This topic will naturally result in partisan spin from all sides; let's keep the insults out of it though.
Never before has Big Brother exerted so much power over the minds of young people. Fascism, censorship and cancel culture are vile threats that are destroying decent, free society. What happened to Mosley should never be allowed to happen again. The fact it happened in a creative place such as a writers room is a damning endictment of how far we've fallen. Tell me how this isn't an attempt to minimise the racism Mosley and others faced and continue to face. And all because some jumped up sjw who is more than likely white and has never experienced racism felt uncomfortable about being reminded of what racism actually is.
Instead of lobbing political assumptions and epithets at Disco writers we weren't even sure were in the room at the time, or insults towards other posters here based on political stereotypes and perceived biases, can we get back to the original discussion about the merits of whether or not this should have been reported to HR or whether it's justified to use racial epithets to describe one's lived experiences being at the receiving end of them? There was actually a legit discussion going on there with some interesting perspectives without it devolving into a rapid-fire political slapfight.

Again, I didn't mention "libtards" first but I'm the one who gets called out for it. Simple liberal bias on show twice in the same thread. Thanks for proving its existence. Not that it needed proving.
People are not labels and I'm not ok with judging people on labels. But, you do you. I just think it puts people in a box and shuts down meaningful discussion, especially in this thread.
As I said up thread, I'm more conservative. But, I also work with LGBTQ+ organizations to support that community. I advocate for equal access and opportunity to resources. I believe strongly in free speech and limited government.
But, if you were to stop with the label of "conservative " those above details would be lost.
That's why I don't want to judge on political labeling.
Eta: oops, missed the mod post. I'll get back to topic.
It was wrong to report Mosley to HR and absolutely valid and right for him to recount his experiences with racism verbatim no matter how much it upset some snowflake. We need to highlight when people of color are being denigrated and not make excuses for those trying to hold them down and negate their experiences.
While I agree labels serve a purpose it is important to keep in mind that shared goals aren't identical. For example most people want to end racism but how to do it varries depending on how pragmatic or idealistic they might be or factors as well. Jason
According to the search function, you were, but if I missed an earlier use, consider my post directed at them too.
Edit: ah I see it, the search function is too dumb to tell singular and plural are the same word. Consider my advice so directed.
You quite clearly weren't "the only one being called out for it" as he also addressed avoiding reciprocal insults about conservatives in the same post. Yours was just a single example cited of a downturn in the rhetoric of this thread and a call for getting back on topic by people of all political stripe.
And if you have a problem with a mod action, PM them about it to discuss it rather than air your grievance here.
