Unity has temporarily closed its offices in San Francisco and Austin, Texas and canceled a town hall meeting after receiving death threats. The company made the call as a precaution against possible retribution after it announced a contentious change to its business model this week.

      People who hold different opinions and worldviews than you

      “Threatening to kill people and not wanting people to threaten to kill people are equal worldviews, actually.”

          No I’m being downvoted because gamers have really rustled jimmies, and this place has a lot of commie-leaning people.

          Wanna know how I know? The actual rest of society thinks this is a terrible thing to do.

              Thanks for the link. Some of those results were interesting. Question. Your link says that 84% disagree with the statement that “political violence against those I disagree with is acceptable”. How have you concluded this is “rising”? What is your base of comparrison?

                  I’m assuming you read this elsewhere because your source does not have a comparrison number. So at present, there is nothing to indicate the number is rising. For all we know the number of people who agree with that type of violence could have been sitting at 16% for many years.

                  It isn’t realistic to expect the number to be zero. There will always be radicals. Always. Even if we somehow create a perfect utopia, there will always be a handful of malcontents.

              I don’t give a shit and didn’t read this, because I think you’re a bad person. Your parents failed you.

      I’m sorry I don’t condone the killing of people simply because they make more than I do.

      Seriously grow the fuck up.

          Seems to me like you’re far more butthurt judging by this comment thread lol.

          You’ve put a lot of words in my mouth that I’ve never said.

          I almost guarantee you and I have more in common than you may realize unfortunately you’re so blinded by hate you’re unable to think clearly.

          Mark my words we are working towards WW3 and it scares the living hell out of me because people like you are so built up in your echo chambers and you’re frothing at the mouth. There’s no difference between your attitude and those of an average Trump supporter. It’s blind rage. Looking for simple solutions to a complex world.

          I seriously worry for my children. The anger is so unfocused or focused on the wrong area.

          We can change the system but we have to want to. The problem is people increasingly on the left and right just want to burn it down.

          How equivalent is

          “I don’t condone the killing of people simply because they make more than I do.”

          to

          “[condoning] the murder and enslavement of millions around the world by a small dominant group of people who have no one’s best interests at heart but their own.”?

              What I found out is the outcomes of events like the French Revolution and the rule of the Khmer Rouge i.e. vastly different dependent on the circumstances of the place and time.
