@ThatRobVK I am not sure but it does exist. As MLK said “Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust.”

@ThatRobVK My point is that there are greater moral truths, and it is not just OK to hold those strongly, it is the expected and morally correct thing to do as a human.

@ThatRobVK So some ideas are eventually revealed to be intrinsically correct (e.g. racism is bad) and should not be challenged from that point on?

@carrickdb reddit is hideous for actual discussion, hence I don't think it's a forum in any sense of the word. It is abysmal, actively bad for discussions. It is fantastic for breaking news, memes, and funny stuff though.
