Our user interface is still version 1.0 and we're working to making it easier to use.

I checked your account and it looks like you've confirmed ok. Welcome!

The metaphor of a frog in a slowly heating pot is apt here. We are engaged in a battle for freedom in an increasingly divisive and stressed world.

Now that the basics of the website are live (e.g., forums, groups, events, profiles, etc), we want to help clarify and educate members on the ideals of the IDW movement. I believe that it's a fight for truth over thought oppression, debate for progress instead of winning without consensus, and civility over hate. We are working now to better organize these thoughts within this community and to produce a clear manifesto for the movement. This will be an ongoing living document as we solicit input from members and other IDW celebrities.

I agree that the term "Social Justice Warrior" can denote both good and bad depending on context and timing. Today, we use it as a catch all term for the promotion of a Leftist agenda without the use of facts, reason or civility. "Justice" unfortunately is too often defined in the post modern sense - that is, used as a tool for impact regardless of truth.

Can you check your spam folder for the email? If you don't see it there, please send me a private message from my profile page and I'll investigate more. Thanks!

Welcome and thanks!

When the founders of this country were putting our constitution together. along with all of the other rules, like the Electoral College, they were thinking ahead to address some of the problems they could foresee coming. I don’t understand how when the territories started to become states and they were all writing their individual state constitutions, why did they not see that those founding the country could foresee a problem with tyranny of the population centers on a national level but these guys writing the state constitutions couldn’t foresee it at the state level. The states need it every bit as much as the federal level does.

Welcome! We're starting out as a fan website of the IDW movement and are not currently endorsed by any public figure. Some of the prominent IDW figures know about us and we are just starting the outreach to more. Our goal is to coordinate the movement from the grass roots. Thanks!

Thanks, we hide the dates of posts in the "3 line" options button as we want to encourage timeless discussions. Will think more about it.

We're championing truth, facts, and reason regardless if they may hurt someone's feelings. We want to promote the fact that any preclusion of reasoned, humanistic, and civil opinion is evil. This used to be the normal position but political correctness has run out of universal appear (e.g., almost everyone agrees that the N-word is offensive but now what is considered "taboo" is anything the far Left doesn't agree with) and has been weaponized in order to silence objection. We're here to fight back. Welcome!

@Admin Then let us replace left wing and right wing views with correct ones

I left the UK many years ago, but I understand your fears. I honestly don't know if there is a solution to the "Islam" issue being inimical to western ideas. They seem to be stuck in a century long gone, and until they catch up, we will continue to have cultural conflicts. It's very sad; back in the '70's I had many Muslim friends, exchange students from the middle east. Everything seemed to go bad with the Ayatollah Khomeini.

99.9% of big social sites (twitter, facebook, google) track and save every thing you do... but they don't tell you. We show you what we know AND give you points and credit for it. With the new coin function, the points are worth real value and give you the power instead of big brother. Better than 1984 here, perhaps?

The Android app is approved and we're almost done with the iPhone one (we've been fighting with Apple on approval). Once both are live, we'll promote the heck out of them.

If you see content that is uncivil, let use know by flagging it. We are hoping that extremist and unsubstantiated views from either side fall on deaf ears and that is a deterrent to abuse. So far, the vast majority of comments (i.e., 99+%0 are within our community guidelines.

Sure! Send me a private message on what you'd like to do to help.

Good ideas! You can add a group for your state/region once you reach level 4.

How about make a post about it?

When I saw Shapiro was religious I realised that his statement was correct but he didn't bother to listen to it! Cognitive dissonance is a fiddly

@Thetruepianoman, I'm a little confused by your reply.
Are you saying that Ben Shapiro was correct in calling Michael Jackson a pedophile? Please explain

@CriticalCommoner No, I was saying when I realised he was religious, I realised he had not applied his statement ' facts don't care about your feelings' to his own belief, showing cognitive dissonance. This means his statements may have logical worth but his worldview may not

@Thetruepianoman Agreed

Our first goal was to get the site working. Yep, it's 100% custom. Once the feature set settles down, we can adjust the look. Hopefully, the form of the website will be optimized to match it's goals - one of which is to introduce members and ideas with each others. Thanks!

Ah, don't sell yourself short! We still have to figure out if we want to pull out extremists away from their party or toward a more enlightened one.

Today, I feel we are all alien our historically familiar identities such as Democrat or Republican. ..
I see myself more than ever as a classical liberal "libertarian" with conservative leanings rather than Republican...
My GF and her entire family have been historically left of center & socialist leaning- Democrats - Lately though, she has been very disappointed with how the values of her party have been abandoned

Thanks! Yes, you will see new things here almost daily as we're having fun coding while growing. You can help define the direction!
