  3. Netflix recently hosted a comedy special from comedian Dave Chappelle called 'The Closer'. You can watch it yourself. Many supported it and found it humorous, however some criticized it as being transphobic and promoting hate speech and violence. LGBT rights organization GLAAD, and the national black justice coalition, both denounced the special https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/dave-chappelle-netflix-special-glaad-national-black-justice-coalition-1235082813/ Netflix's leadership had a meeting about it, but then suspended three employees, one of whom was trans for trying to enter it without permission https://variety.com/2021/film/news/dave-chappelle-netflix-suspends-trans-employee-1235086394/ Netflix's co-CEO responded, and defended hosting the stand up special https://variety.com/2021/film/news/dave-chappelle-stand-up-netflix-controversy-1235086299/ Netflix employees wanting to protest the decision to host the special planned a walkout, however Netflix fired one of the trans organizers for allegedly leaking company information https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/tv/netflix-fires-employee-sharing-confidential-information-amid-chappelle-uproar-n1281672 A showrunner at one of Netflix's shows called 'Dear White People' said they will boycott netflix for hosting the special https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/tv/netflix-fires-employee-sharing-confidential-information-amid-chappelle-uproar-n1281672 Later the Netflix co-CEO apologized for defending the special, but continues to refuse for netflix to stop hosting it https://www.wsj.com/articles/netflix-co-ceo-says-he-screwed-up-when-defending-dave-chappelle-special-11634696007 The netflix trans employees and their allies released a list of demands ahead of their walk out https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/18/22733098/netflix-trans-employees-demands-dave-chappelle-walkout Some scenes from the walk-out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efkY2QRf_zs To me this is a clash between stage orange ideals vs stage green ideals. Stage orange views the special as successful because of it's popularity, and doesn't feel accountable to censor it because they don't believe comedy can lead to real world harm and everyone can be made fun of. The stage green view is that the successful is harmful because it's attacking a marginalized group. Did you watch the special? Do you think it went too far?

  8. A series of protests by the group Insulate Britain involving traffic obstruction began on 13 September 2021.[1] The group has blockaded the M25 and other motorways in the United Kingdom, as well as roads in London and the Port of Dover. The protesters demand that the government insulate all social housing in the UK by 2025 and retrofit all homes with insulation by 2030. They have drawn condemnation from figures within the government.

Some say they are losing support, others say they are effectively gaining attention for the cause of preparing for climate change. What do you think?
  9. There were multiple waves, with multiple branches, from multiple perspectives, and there's differences between what it is claimed to be and what it actually is. You cannot simplify a long varied movement like that. But probably, feminists will tell you the core is equality between men and women, with some younger ones changing it to equity between men and women.
