Well that depends on the motivation for the bomb threat.

The only argument for the death penalty was back before long term prisons were available and someone was too dangerous to be released in society. The death penalty should be obsolete.

It's very obviously scare mongering propaganda, and it's working exactly as intended.

With so much going on in the world beyond our control and maybe more importantly our increased access to news about those events, we need a way to process things that we can't influence, but that may impact us anyway. Stoicism can provide that in an increasingly secular society, where it used to be religion.

Maybe, but the only reason this is notable is because of an uptick that is from the literal opposite of Christian right wing.

I guess maybe we are using the terms differently.

Plus it has a sweet soundtrack

I had similar experiences, and couldn't understand why they would discourage dialog and discussion around various issues. The thing is, they don't actually want dialog, they want to stamp out opposition to their views as though it never existed.

You probably commented on one of the verboten subreddits. That's how I got most of my bans.

Centrists exist because they listen to alternative views and can empathize with those views even if they don't quite agree with them or if they can't decide between the pros and cons. But to an extremist on either side, it looks like they are stupid, weak, or possibly just bad people, because if they were smart, Good people, then the centrists would OBVIOUSLY agree with THEM, and then they wouldn't be centrists. This lacking of empathy or inability to understand opposing viewpoints, and therefore assuming malice or evil as the motive of anyone not WITH them, is the hallmark of all extremists.

Oh yeah, also people hate centrists because they come across as smug. Sorry about that.
