Well, this is exactly what @"NOS4A2" wants. Let's use scientific objectivity (who could disagree with that!) to bash political correctness because one...

My first year in uni right there. Where's @"ArguingWAristotleTiff"?

Science should be politically neutral, which is why scientific terms shouldn't have political overtones. If "supremacy" can be considered historically...

Yes, like every other politician. And then he lets KSA murder journalists because he wants their arms deals. When are you going to get beyond your inf...

Politics by greeting card slogans. :yawn:

Yes, the U.S. is that shining light at the end of the tunnel (that signals an oncoming train).

This is a way longer answer than you deserve so Happy Christmas (or Hannah’s Car, or whatever). Broad generalizations in either direction aren't infor...

Yes, only subscribers can upload images because we need to pay for the space, basically.

Haven't seen the list but I would think Keir Starmer would be good.

Semantics alert! >>'Going left' can mean moving left and aiming for the center or moving left and aiming for the left, with the latter being the more ...

Bernard Stiegler - The Re-Enchantment of the World—The Value of spirit against Industrial Populism

Unfortunately not. Mogg was sidelined and told to shut up after being too much of a posh twit even for the Conservatives. And, yes, long may that cont...

I'll take these in reverse order. 1) Centre not left. 2) It doesn't matter what Johnson says. 3) Because he's a pragmatist and the context has just ch...

Well done on getting through that in a day. Dude has some mfuckin' vocabulary going on. :lol:

Looking forward to making you eat this when the Dems win the Whitehouse. :halo: What position anyway? Brexit? Boris's ban on combs? Michael Gove's pro...

Your error is misinterpreting what I said. I said he'll stuff the far right Brexiteers not Brexiteers in general, who come from a variety of political...

The working class prioritised and voted for Brexit, many for good reason, and now they've got it. That's totally fair. They'll lose out in other ways ...

They were outmanoeuvred. The Leave vote was united. The Remain vote was split. And Workington man couldn't give a toss that Boris is an areshole. In f...

Congrats Jo Swinson on handing this to him on a plate.

Boris won the alpha male vote. Cue break-up of UK.

Having a read now. Strangely compelling despite (or maybe because of) the convoluted prose. (Being too lazy to find my own books, I'm just going to ke...

If Johnson doesn't get his overall majority, the milky bars are on me. If he loses his seat, I'll make it champagne. (I was going to post an inspiring...

I suggest you start with his most recent OP. Soon to be rectified. :up:

I understand that perspective. Another one though would be that that would be extra work for us for the sake of posters who didn't put enough work int...

Eh, I think we're done here.

Maybe we're a little too conservative in who we get rid of for low quality, but a) we want to give posters a chance to improve and b) we post bannings...

As an admin, I have access to deleted posts and appeal is possible. But he's banned now, so no point digging them up.

Banned @"ovdtogt" for refusing moderation. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/7257/my-posts-are-being-removed-i-wish-to-know-on-what-grounds

*Sigh*

I'd advise you to calm down and wait for further explanation from @"StreetlightX" (such as he feels appropriate to give) or we will have no choice but...

I didn't see your OP, but the link explains moderation procedures, and @"StreetlightX" is a moderator. Here's some more info: https://thephilosophyfor...

Or support your claims with argument and evidence. Either would be fine.

If you just came here to spout unsupported nonsense, please bugger off. There are people here interested in a serious conversation.

Don't take our word for it, just read. "Even though Blair’s New Labour came to power on the basis of a social-democrat agenda which included redistrib...

Why? Why? You've made an assertion without argument or evidence. Just make an effort to back it up and I'll show you where you're going wrong.

Swinson made such a mess of this election campaign, beginning with her revoke gambit, then her mercenary move of giving Boris his election exactly whe...

Do you even read what you link to? To describe Tony Blair as a neosocialist because he once used the word "socialism" in a speech and then link to an ...

We don't need political labels for this. The basic idea goes back at least as far as Aristotle:

Therein lies the major problem of the day (not Trump being a corrupt racist self-serving dick, which he clearly is and so requires no debate).

I'd put it this way, the super-rich have a strong enough combination of economic, technological, and informational resources to transform functional d...

Yep.

Both sides are disgusting for different reasons. I can agree with almost every criticism made of Trump while not going along with the agenda of everyo...

Alright, I'll put you on hold. @"NOS4A2"?

@"Wayfarer" Trump is obviously a corrupt scumbag, piece of shit etc. but he's just a symptom of neoliberal plutocracy, not the cause. For that, see Re...
