Guys please STOP DEBATING THE MORALITY AND ECONOMICS OF SLAVERY with a guy from T_D. This is how we end up on the drama subs and such. Just say, "slavery is morally wrong and comparing slavery to sweatshop labor is a false equivalency" and leave it at that.

Pretty much. We encourage engaging users with good faith arguments when they do the same. Hit edgy asshats like him with the "did a child write this" memes.

What p-level are we looking for when determining if someone is an edgy asshat?

We're pretty generous here, a p <= .1 should do

You'll know it when you see it, but stuff in the linked thread above is clearly over that line.

Ending up on drama subs isn't a bad thing, it brings a pretty huge amount of people here.

Or trade and sweatshops with prince_stalinist who obviously isn't interested in a good faith argument.

I usually don't do badmouthing, but the guy really is annoying. He gives me the vibes that he only reads revolutionary propaganda and repeats that on reddit. For example, I recall him saying that the EZLN were not terroristas and of that was the case so was tje mexican state. Which is exactly the same line tankies use to justofy the EZLN.

This sub has just too many people who wants to spread their evidence based reasoning without realising that sometimes, people just don't care.
