Nah, "echo chamber" has just become a term to denigrate those who don't agree with you. The term has been completely devalued, is now meaningless. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Doing right by individuals I don't know by insisting that employers should be colour-blind when recruiting, say, a HR manager, is an abstraction too far for my taste. It just doesn't matter to me.
There are reasons why they might encourage only BAME to apply for a job. For example, maybe they face, or expect to face, accusations of racism, unless they upped their number. Don't care if some kid feels hard-done-by if they've applied for a job and didn't get it. I felt hard-done-by many times when applying for jobs I didn't get. I had my suspicions but what could I do? Nobody cared then and nobody cares now.
THERE'S MORE. This is the bit I'm trying to get across, because nobody wants to see it or believe it. What do you think is going on in this picture?

Staged, with fashionable people, right?
Well, who are they, how did they get there and what are they doing?
The agenda is crystal clear: societies are being reconstructed all over the world, and this is in the interests of the progress of humanity.
SHE is not pulling the strings there, I can tell you that.

This TED talk took place 8 years ago.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oyaFsVjGgI
She was selected many years before that - by shadowy, white, people. In effect, the plan came first, then the people were chosen, then they were trained up, then they were given practice sessions as above. And now we've got someone's vision the future city actually happening, and people are beginning to react because they don't know what's going on. Oh why is that statue falling down and why don't the old systems work any more? My 6 mates on an internet forum never imagined this would happen. What you see happening all around you was decades in the works. Every human weakness was exploited and every psychological trick was deployed. Not by them but by their handlers. |

You're just putting on your favourite blinkers. |
Everyone has their opinions
I don't see many with opinion arrived at through thought though. Most of what I see is just regurgitated from some very dubious sources, often almost word for word. Even universities are discouraging free thinking it seems. Reading it all is like being in a never ending circle of deja vu.
Me, I'm not sure about many things. Lots seem to think they have all the answers though. Lucky them. Doesn't seem to make them very happy though. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

These social planner types may think they have all the answers, at a later stage, once they've given their all (and I mean their all) to be in the circle, and have become made men and made women. If it's any comfort, I think there's a heavy psychological price they have to pay. I enjoy a bit of schadenfreude seeing the cracks in these puppets (before they get inevitably papered over), because I think it's wrong to have no dignity or self-respect. However, the course of events has now been set, and we're seeing the results of this play out in the world.
Also, not being a dick, but I haven't yet seen any evidence of free-thinking or a position arrived at through thought, from you. I'm not saying you're incapable, just that you have these blinkers and you refuse to see what's right in front of you.
Take this rambling, incoherent diatribe given at Google, for example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q15Arz_Vv60
Contains reference to plastic straws (which hadn't yet been banned), single-use water bottles, AI singularity, Neuralink, etc. Maybe she reads too much science fiction, or is just some lunatic at Hyde Park Corner. Or maybe - just maybe - this is actually happening and you're way behind the times.

So which of these best fits your views:
1) Consider skin colour
2) Don't consider skin colour

Would be nice if the whole idea of "justice" just went away, tbh.
It's so easy to weaponise - their justice vs your justice, etc. Social justice, higher justice, god's justice, natural law, Aquinas and a long history of nonsense. But look back far enough and it's just harmful at its root. Trial by combat.
Here's a natural justice system:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDZR1z5Lz6s
Leave humans alone and that's what they create. A system of law and order and justice. Well, how about social credits?
What China's got is a method and means of calculating what's good (i.e. beneficial) for the majority. So, if someone's accused of something, they will think about something bigger than themselves (i.e. the interests of the family, community or whatever collective) when deciding whether to admit guilt and take the shame.
I'm not saying we should import that here. I'm just saying it works because they've moved on from the idea of justice.
At the end of the day, the kids and the people making this happen have zero interest in convincing any of us here. They've got an "OK boomer" attitude. The justice system here has been reformed many times. Reforming it again is like carrying out maintenance work on landlines and public telephone booths. |

I'm not convinced it is possible to be 'free thinking' in todays society without removing oneself from the incessant and insidious nonsense that is the internet. We are constantly bombarded with targeted opinion, which reinforces whatever views we hold to the point that we can't consider any other.
Kids have it worst because they can't remember a time when you got your news from a paper and you were able to chat about it face to face without some muppet calling you a Nazi, woke or whatever. ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

The reason such "real" issues are never addressed is because these supposedly organic mobs of ordinary people are tightly organised by puppet masters. XR and the loft botherers are the classic example, absolutely zero merit. Who's organising them? Fuck knows, someone with a lot of money.
And at the other (political) end there's the likes of Laurence Fox and Reclaim. He's openly admitted he has a rich benefactor with an agenda to push.
The downside of wealth disparity is you end up with lots of bored hyper-rich dudes who identify more with Doctor No than Doctor Who ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |
