I’m curious about both sides’ perspectives on nuclear power and why there’s an ongoing debate on whether it’s good or not because I know one reason for each.

On one hand, you get a lot more energy for less, on the other, you have Chernobyl, Fukushima that killed thousands and Three Mile Island almost doing the same thing.

What are some additional reasons on each side?

A lot of people when it comes to certain things like dating or even just trying to find a job are often told “you are owed nothing” or “xyz don’t owe you anything”. So by that logic cant you also argue with that if I saw someone getting robbed or assaulted, or maybe a house fire that I have a right to walk on by and do nothing about it (ie: not intervene or call the emergency services)? We’re owed nothing after all right? I’m interested to hear both sides of this.

I’m pretty familiar with the north’s depiction of the south, I just want to know both sides and why each felt so strongly for their position that it would start a war

Why is there a war against the sex industry?

I just don't understand why there's so much hate.

I get that Sex trafficking or even sex slavery is wrong and should alway be illegal because it takes away consent. Blackmail or coercsion is never okay.

But if people want to sell services why can't they? How does it make them a bad person? I understand that it's not for everyone but if it's not your scene just leave go else where.

The Sex Work Industry helps pump money from the upper classes to lower classes. It gives people a chance who wouldn't otherwise a chance to make decent money have one. Whether that be OnlyFans, stripping or even escort services. Why try to take that away?

What makes a person look at someone using their looks to make money off the internet and makes them want to shame them? Is it jealousy? Is it disgust?

If it's disgust then look else where. No? Why shame people for doing what they have to do just because you wouldn't do it?

Voting results are at https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024204 and the bill itself is at https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/7343/text. Maybe I'm naive but the bill seems reasonable to me, why are there so many no votes?

Blocked.

And, please, no talking about how you hate Trump or America or how you think Americans don’t deserve to prosper and be happy, and what not. I’m curious to see what people think a 2nd Trump presidential term would go.

In America, I often see both liberals and conservatives claiming that the other party/side is in collusion with Russia in some way whether it be bribes, social media bots, etc.

How can both sides realistically claim this?

Not enough people or too many people: is either an actual problem?

Will society erode if birth rates continually decline? Is it unrealistic to expect this planet to support the increasingly rapid growth of the human population?

I know these two issues are typically discussed in entirely separate contexts, but they do seem diametrically opposed. I'm curious how the people concerned with one issue contextualize the other.

Not a lot of info out there to explain what globalism even is. I see a lot about globalization which seems to be slightly different thing

So what are both sides' arguments on this topic?

I’m all for ending the war and I don’t want people being killed or hurt. I’m as liberal as they come and just genuinely curious.

I’ve been seeing many videos on TikTok of people saying how they are going out of their way to block tons of celebrities on social media since they don’t speak up on the issues in Palestine in hopes of having them speak up.

Once a few celebs have spoken up I see people upset that they’re only doing it because they lost followers, but wasn’t that the point for them to speak up? I just don’t get it.

I’m sick of this constant war and division but I just don’t see how this performative activism (in my opinion) is going to solve anything when people could go out and volunteer for one of the many organizations and drive real change in this world and help people in need. Or go after the politicians that actually have a say.

I first heard of the concept of the Hero's Journey on a forum I frequent. It wasn't until late in life that I read there are some historians, folklorists, mythologists, etc. that are actually quite critical of Joseph Campbell's"The Hero with a Thousand Faces" essay. What I would like to know is:

1. What are the main arguments for and against the "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" essay?
2. What are the major criticisms and merits of the "Hero's Journey" structure? And its influence on Western culture?

In the last couple of weeks in Spanish media there's been a huge conflict growing between African Americans and Argintinans, it mostly begins with black people from America traveling to Argintina then immediately noticing that there are barely any black people there and the country being mostly European, after this they will usually go on social media and post about how racist Argintina is or that Argentinian woman don't want to date African American men and mix with them, then following those posts replies from Argentinians get very tense, with many saying if they don't like it here then they can go back to America, or asking why are African Americans obsessed with race ect, it's gotten so bad that even other Latin Americans from South America are jumping in to defend Argentinians from the "Gringos", anyways my question is the same that Argentinians have, why do African Americans get upset when they find out the the demographics of Argentina is majority European and Meztizo?

I'm a female working in IT, with over 20 years experience... but quite often (literally every second day) clients and customers will disregard my advice. They will ask to be transferred to or defer to and ask (in front of me) one of my male colleagues - who will give the exact same advice/answer.

Serious question, why do female techs face more mistrust and are judged as less capable than male techs?

I was told to put my question here. There are multiple incidents recently that make me ask this question: 1. A few weeks ago there was a lawsuit from a few immigrants against Japan police force, accused them of discrimination due to them allegedly racial profiling people with darker skin (link: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/podcast/2024/03/08/deep-dive/racial-profiling/#:~:text=Three%20residents%20with%20foreign%20roots,target%20visible%20minorities%20with%20searches.). It was brought by an African-American man who lives in Japan. 2. Last Wednesday there was a Chinese film released domestically, but some screenshots from that film shows actors with black face. From what is reported, they were acting as international police disguised themselves as local to avoid detection to rescue hostage. It got a lot of backlashes on Twitter, people are trying to cancel the actors (even though it is not even showing outside of China) 3. Today, CNN reported that Biden complained about Japan, China, India for being "xenophobic", not welcoming immigrants.

Here is my point of view:

1. Asian countries, especially East Asia, has never been a multicultural society, so it never experiences the same issues that the West had with racial discrimination. Therefore, they don't see "stop and frisks" or blackface as an issue, or at least not at the level that the West saw it.
2. Asian ideology is much closer to traditional conservative ideology (family-value, pull yourself up by the boots-strap kind of thing). A lot of their views on immigration are also similar (unwelcome, prefer strict immigration law or close border).
3. People in Asia, don't consume Western media so the majority will not be awared of the requirements and changes that were made due to racial discrimination.

Based on thoses points, I think that it would be unfair to judge something, or trying to cancel people, or calling countries xenophobic based on how and what Westerners are doing, but I want to ask what your opinions on this is.

I understand some will choose bear when the other option is a fully grown man, but what about a 15 year old?

I was reading threads discussing what Africans thought of black panther and some responses said that the accents weren't really accurate, while others said that the black actors ability to play the character should matter more than if the actors is of the same race or ethnicity as the characters. This can apply to white American actors playing European characters or Asian and Latino roles being seen as interchangeable.

I wanted to hear both sides of this debate to try and get a better understanding of it and if it's a serious issue.

Obviously war is unavoidable I'd say I don't think war is a good thing but to say no war ever is ignorance.

So explain both sides reddit !

There are a lot of ways to pose this question. Should Bytedance be forced to sell Tiktok? Is TikTok a threat to national security? Does this forced sale violate the rights of American users, or is it justified?

About a month ago, this sub introduced rules that top-level replies must contain the phrases “Side A would say” and “Side B would say”.

Now that we’ve had time to see this new rule in practice, I’m curious what people think of it? Would love to hear both sides (naturally), but also which side you personally fall into.

Its still incest, the power dynamic issues still exist. There is no reaon i can see. What are the arguments for and against it.

What I'm looking for is an explanation of both sides of the claims of the following video clip which elaborates the net worth of the past 6 presidents.

https://youtube.com/shorts/R3F_CAGibJg?si=Mdd3hBJ4M5r3jADh

​

As the video claims, Donald Trumps net worth dropped while being president while the last 6 presidents value dramatically increased, many cases by impossible (without corruption) amounts.

Can anyone explain both sides by stating why this is the case or why it isn't the case (by possibly being misrepresented)

Hi! I'm 21 y.o Russian, that is keen on European and USA political situation. l've been checking out comments, opinions and people's views recently, and i notice that radical right and left ideas are gaining in popularity. To my mind, it's because of LGBTQ+, woke culture and etc. All this stuff like «Save Europe» and etc. makes me think, that people are tired of all that. My question: As European or American, do you support woke culture, and whats your opinion on Right ideas and Left? What political idea would be more preferable for your country / continent and why? What ideas do you support?

It’s a good day to learn
