Liberal by definition is anti-racist. A major tenet of liberalism is egalitarianism and it's what allows free market capitalism.
Maybe you should go educate yourself about what Liberalism is before appointing yourself the racism police on Hackernews.
I'm a liberal and I've said I prefer not having more racists in California with illiberal sentiment. That is the opposite of racist.
There is a long history of America enforcing white racial integrity which you seem to be naive to. As a native Californian I think it's fair to be weary.
I stand by not wanting more transplants in my state and it's not just me.
In my opinion, bigotry in mainstream public discourse is never going to happen. It's a feature of capitalism and why you won't see gas vans as long as we remain a capitalist society.
But don't let me dissuade you from advocating for your beliefs.
I've seen what they post when they're "speaking their mind"
It almost always devolves into "jokes" about getting state approval to shoot immigrants, refugees, minorities in open ranges, or providing "helicopter rides" - a reference to dropping people from helicopters.
This is what currently unifies the right wing of US politics.
Whether or not all populations on Earth are mixing enough to prevent speciation remains to be seen. But the process begins with the kind of mutations documented in the article.
For some historical perspective, generally, populist revolutions throughout history, especially in the West, have been leftist, the French Revolution, American Revolution, Mexican Revolution. Right wing revolutions tend to curtail rights like the Iranian Revolution. And the all time greatest threat to the world has been a right wing populist revolution; the rise of Nazi Germany - which thankfully was defeated.
There is no evidence Native Americans originated from the Caucasus regions. We have remains that have been dated to as far back as 12,707–12,556 years BP. Accordingly:
> Paleogenomic analysis of the remains revealed Siberian ancestry and a close genetic relationship to modern Native Americans, including those of Central and South America.[1][3] These findings support the hypothesis that modern Native Americans are descended from Asian populations who crossed Beringia between 32,000 and 18,000 years ago.
The safest possible solution would be for the super wealthy pay to keep the population fed and housed while we wait for a vaccine or improved treatments. Otherwise, the virus will continue to propagate, the poor will have to risk their lives and the virus will inevitably reach the rich and their families in a later wave anyway as was the case with the 1918 flu.
Addendum: I posted this fully understanding how unpopular it would be with this crowd. If we ever get hit with a a more fatal and contagious virus this may be our only way of preserving life. And as things stand with our industrial meat processes I suspect we will have more viruses to contend with.
Because, Conservatives have completely lost their minds. If they want to commit to a suicide run to try and sustain the market then competent states have the imperative to not follow them into the abyss. You have to remember, each state is tasked with the welfare of their citizenry, not the furtherance of the political ambitions of a federal administrator.
This comment will play extremely well on this website, which engineers frequent. And it's admittedly a great joke. But only tangentially relevant to the author's point.
The author's point is closer to the old adage of not shooting yourself in the foot. That is, however true your statement is, if it denies further thought it becomes a useless point.
But if companies allow extremists on their platforms then the moderates will leave. It's not so much a paradox but a cause and effect.
