I disagree with you but the rationale for your position is pretty clear and I respect such a concern to prevent that violence.
But yeah, that is largely irrelevant to the Brazil question.

I do not like that elon has done some of that stuff in the past, but I support whatever upsets the Brazilian censorship regime.
Some more analysis:
The anti-migrant nationalists would be in pole position to form state governments in both regions, had the establishment parties not vowed a cordon sanitaire to keep them from power. The AFD’s success came despite calls to ban the party after allegations members discussed mass deportations of foreigners at a secret meeting.
In another scandal this year, a senior AFD man declared not all Waffen-SS members were criminals.
That did not deter voters in the the AFD heartlands of East Germany, who have backed the eurosceptic, pro-Putin party in their droves and given Mr Scholz a very bloody nose.

Yeah we should totally be upset by corruption - I fully agree with you on that. But let's say they record something where people's daily routines are impacted by just the thought of it, then it would be valid to say that they have an anger problem.
I suppose the article isn't clear enough - I am certainly open to the idea that it was a flawed study.
I respect the fact that there are leftists throughout Lemmy - I am not one of them, but I am also someone who believes in free discourse, human rights, etc., and I share a lot of parallels with them on foreign policy...
Really wish more of them were more active advocates for free speech.
It might get old, though, for both of us, lol
Np - I will try to shoot for more stuff like this down the road.
Nah man freedom of speech includes hate speech.
If "hate speech" must be banned, why even have a democracy..?
You have to have faith in the ability of people to discern right from wrong, and the very first test of that is whether people are going to be mentally hijacked by some guy saying the N word.
If you believe people can't do that... Why vote? You just support soft totalitarianism.
But to be entirely fair to the guy's point:
Lots of top athletes have superstitions about abstaining from intercourse prior to events - some are very extreme, with fighters isolating themselves from their spouses and training for months without any release before their MMA fight/boxing match. Some say they do it for, say, just a week ahead of time, etc.
There are a few who have the opposite philosophy and claim to actually do it more in the week leading up to the fight.
It's really a massive point of contention because some people claim it is a mere superstition while others absolutely will not break their routine.
There is also the famous incident where Bobby Fisher says that he performed poorly at a tournament because he had sex after the first night and the experience totally removed him from his focus...
This might be why it impacts fighters and certain people whose lifting styles are really about maximized performance and not a routine... If concentration is interrupted, it can result in very poor output. Like I can see how someone who is very intense about what they are doing and requires total focus would be interrupted by any form of sexual distraction. This is probably very, very relevant to guys who are fighters...
This might also have to do with perspectives on sexuality - people who ascribe a lot of meaning to it versus those who do not...
Lots of stuff to consider, I think.
Wonderful observation.
It's really our duty to be familiar with both sides and be ready to debate.
Of course, exception guy will be in the thread pointing out extreme edge cases in which we all agree that there is no alternative to the accepted opinion ("R*pe is bad, mmkay?")... But this is besides the point.
I did not know that about Pres. Wilson, thank you.
I also appreciate what you are saying here. I am not some extremist who thinks we need to remove Biden when his team is capable of navigating the last days of his Presidency but it would be strange to pretend those who disagree with me are goons for thinking as much.
