It's inherent feature of human reasoning across the board. Everyone does broad generalizations about other people based on more or less unrelated information about them. Just yesterday someone here was getting upvoted for implying people driving lifted trucks are racists. It's the same logic at work there. It's othering. Us vs. them and so on. It may have been useful when we still lived in tribes but doesn't quite work with how society is today.

Help with what?

The way towards centre from left is to the right.

Switching from WhatsApp to any other messaging service isn't a realistic option for quite many places. I'd be more than willing to switch but of all the people in my contacts (including my entire customer base) there's like 3 people using Signal but every single one of them has WhatsApp. Even the 60+ year olds.

Mandatory military service doesn't generally mean being sent to conflict zones. This is done by active military members, not conscripts.

It's called Finnish Defence Forces and its purpose is just that; to defend Finland. We have a 1400km border with Russia.

Most conscripts are around 18 to 20 years old and the service is something between 6 to 12 months depending on your position. In general you spend weekdays at the barracks and weekends at home - with some exceptions. You don't generally see people in military uniforms outside the military areas except for when they're traveling to and from the barracks.

The service is mandatory for men but recently there has been some discussion on expanding that to apply to women as well. I think it's a good system. Even if not military, then atleast some sort of community service. It acts as a sort of rite of passage.

I don’t see what’s controversial here. This just seems like an independent thinker who evaluates issues on a case-by-case basis rather than blindly adopting the views of any one group as a package deal.

Concluding that someone is a lesser human because of their skin color seems just as illogical to me as calling someone a racist because they drive a lifted truck. These things are completely unrelated.

Not including your pronouns on emails / online profiles.

You seem to be assuming that people would keep driving as they currently do if we removed speed limits entirely. I'd be willing to bet that this is not the case. Most drivers have a number in mind on how much they're willing to exceed the speed limit. For me that is 5 - 10kph, so if the limit is 60kph, then you're not going to catch me going 80. Without speed limits I probably would.

So why do we have such laws? Because they work. Not perfectly but to some extent.

I hope you atleast see the irony in suggesting people are racist based on the kind of vehicle they drive.

Isn't that what streamers are for?
