Palpatine secretly controlled the whole trade blockade around Naboo as well as directing Count Dooku, Darth Maul and General Grievous among many other shenanigans.

To compare it to German history: Palpatine didn't just light the metaphorical Reichstag on fire, my Geschwisty. He used an armada of tanks assembled into a Voltron-style robot that shoots Flammenwerfer capable of turning air into fuel.

Leisten wir uns zu viele Jobs, die dem Wohlstand nichts bringen?

Während die Arbeitsproduktivität in den 1980er- und 1990er-Jahren noch um rund zwei Prozent jährlich zunahm, ist sie in den vergangenen sechs Jahren im Schnitt nur noch um 0,3 Prozent jährlich gewachsen. Also kaum. Gemeint ist die Wirtschaftsleistung, die jeder Erwerbstätige im Durchschnitt erbringen kann. Woran liegt es, dass die Produktivität in Deutschland stetig zurückgeht?

Bin ich gerade blöd, oder ergibt der Absatz tatsächlich keinen Sinn?

One ice cream place had bunch of awesome vegan variants, so I can confirm that they are definitely worth trying!

Unrelated, but a different place once had Gin-Tonic ice. To this day I can't get the flavor out of my head, it was so good. But how tf do you make that :|

Likewise, you've been acting insufferably - repeating your argument is not an effective way to answer an obvious gap in logic, and then acting like you can't scroll up five pixels is just wasting everyone's time.

I sincerely hope you won't have to live through the kind of world you're hoping for.

I already tried to restate the same example multiple times now, but I can't see that it has helped your understanding, rather the opposite. IMO it's very clear that "being excluded" and "being rejected" refer to the same phenomenon, so it feels ironic to read you doubting whether I'm genuine one sentence later.

If you're genuinely trying to understand my issue with your position, I'd invite you to read through the chain again, and to formulate a clear question that engages with my example instead of asking me to repeat, when you could simply scroll up to see what I've previously written.

Again, I feel like I've explained my concrete example well enough that I don't understand why you're asking "exclude you from what". Exclude you from the thing I previously mentioned people are excluded from, of course?

I keep harping on about this point because to me, it's the obvious logical inconsistency in your views, entirely based on real historical examples. Maybe I'm just too dense, but I still don't understand how you resolve this inconsistency beyond "they just have to deal with it".

I’ve explained that silencing people from sharing honest opinions simply because other people don’t like hearing them is literally inflicting the psychiatric harm on others you’re concerned with.

Have you seen concrete studies showing that these harms are anywhere near comparable? I can't remember anything in that direction, and I'd be very surprised if it were true. Having 95% of society band together to exclude you is a completely different kind of harm, compared to not being allowed to exclude 5% of society.

How would some people saying they don’t like others be condemning anyone to be a second class citizen?

I don't know where you're unclear about my example? I've explicitly mentioned how. Do you have specific questions or issues?

In other words, targeted groups simply have to accept they are second-class citizens. I functionally cannot see a difference between "being chased out of society" and what I'm describing.

Please correct me if I'm misunderstanding you, I'm not sure why you're talking about:

Forcing every human to not say anything that any other human might be upset to hear would be forcing that rejection onto everyone

since that's not what anyone is proposing.

I'm not trying to argue, sorry, I'm really trying to understand. I'll try to concisely express where I fail to follow along.

The psychological effects of being rejected by most of society have been studied a lot, and it consistently shows a huge impact on people's well-being and lifespan. At the same time, we know that in entire areas/regions it would not be possible for large parts of targeted groups to live lives consistently circumventing such interactions.

In my mind, this means that either targeted groups would have to accept being second-class citizens in these locations, or society has to attempt to ban such practices.

There are more issues, but IMO this is the one I can't see how to argue against.
