  • Fighting for equality, against discrimination and for a fairer world for us all is the only cause that actually makes sense atm imo.

    Fighting for equity, as a man who’s supposed to be at the bottom of the hierarchy, I spit on it.

    Besides that, they‘re asking to amplify factual voices (instead of the extremes) which I find baffling that someone has to actually suggest this.

    Because the actual definition of factual and their definition of factual differs. When they say factual voices, they mean, voices which they like.

And I am saying this as a brown man :) I cared more about the story because it had two Pakistanis in it. I can only imagine it would get good coverage in a country with majority white people.
