One thing that bothers me about this community is that we all clearly have political views and regularly express them, but for some reason explicit discussion and debate is discouraged. The end result here is that lots of people casually assert extremely controversial opinions as fact and people are expected to approve via silence.
False. Silent disapproval and indifference look exactly the same.
The downvote button should be the difference.
If we are not willing to even spend the energy required to push the button to protect the level of discussion we have here, that almost seems like we don't care about it.
