Should online platforms require verified identity for all accounts?

Require verification, anonymity enables harassment, abuse and misinformation

Never require it, online anonymity is essential protection against persecution

Should social media platforms remove harmful content before it spreads?

Remove it immediately, platforms have responsibility to stop false information

Just flag it, censorship is worse than misinformation ever was

Should social media platforms be legally liable for algorithm-driven misinformation?

Yes—they amplify lies and must be accountable

No—censoring speech is worse than false content

Only for deliberately promoted proven falsehoods

Regulate the algorithm itself, not the platform

Should old jokes haunt comedians forever or does context actually matter?

Forever — no comedy exception for harmful content

Context matters — time and growth should count

Only if they still defend it — growth is the test

No — cancel culture goes too far on this

Is there ever a situation where political violence can be morally justified?

This is intentionally provocative. Serious answers only.

Never — always illegitimate regardless of context

Only in self-defense against active aggression

When peaceful options have been exhausted and blocked

Violence and politics are already inseparable

Is cancel culture legitimate accountability or performative mob justice?

Define your terms before you judge.

Accountability when institutions fail

Mostly disproportionate and performative

Both — it works sometimes, harms innocents other times

Neither — consequences exist whether we label it or not

Would you sacrifice economic stability for quicker renewable energy adoption at the expense of higher cost of living?

The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) forecasts renewables push could cost the economy up to $483 billion per year and lead to a long-term decline in real GDP of 2-3%. Partly because adapting production methods to low-carbon technologies requires massive, costly investments that increase the marginal cost of production in the short term.

No, prioritise economic stability and sustainable cost of living first.

Yes, investing in green infrastructure today will generate greater economic and environmental returns in the future.
