If comments get removed altogether because of lack of sensitivity, there is no discussion at all, frank or not. So there isn't much an alternative. A parent comment of this thread was already flagged regardless. You seem to underestimate how severe the problem is. You very much can't talk straight like with any topic inside the Overton window.

I don't like the accusation of of "bad faith". I don't even know what it is supposed to mean concretely. What defines "the group" exactly, is part of the question. I said more in neighboring threads.



>I don't like the accusation of of "bad faith".

That's kind of the issue here. Anything remotely negative about certain immigrant groups is automatically assumed in bad faith (you must be a racist/nazi) and gets flagged/downvoted and no free discussion on the topic can ever happen.


How is it any different if you call them "you-know-who" instead?


Less likely to get into trouble with the ultra left wing politically correct mobs who can't wait to call you a racist nazi for pointing out immigration related failures.
