Hmm... not sure how did you come to such conclusion. :D Again, it's not that people don't detest Gates or Soros, but people just understand that any a...

I would prefer to stick with the language the way it is. So men as addressed as a "he", women as "she".

Pretty much sums it up. Nobody likes oligarchs, bet replacing Soros with Stalin certainly won't be a step in the right direction. :)

Yes, Scots certainly are brave people. As I remember Uberboyo is also Scottish, his interpretation of Jung and Nietzche seem very beneficial. https://...

It has to do with culture and experience. So a 20 year old kid attending gender studies in UCLA has a slightly different experience from his Ukrainian...

I think this thread went off-topic a long time ago, so adding some discussion of socialism here won't be a problem. From my point of view, you seem as...

Especially when they can call anybody they want a neonazi. :D

Interpreting anybody you don't like as Goebbels contributes you being unable to think outside of the given echo-chamber. ;)

Ok, can you explain how you see it in practice? I live nearby, in Latvia, so of course I have a steak in the game. :) I think people in both Poland an...

Have you listened to the Bezmenov interview? https://bezmenov.net/ Unlike in the present United States, there will be no place for dissent in future M...

Again, the problem is that when socialism is tried in real life, the 'good' socialists are used as pawns and than eliminated by very nasty people. So ...

The thread is progressing, yet your rubbish is still being ignored. :cry:

I think the west is pretty much doomed in the long run. A new civilization might come out of Poland/Ukraine. Of course it won't be socialist, yet very...

Sounds nice in theory, but assuming it would work in practice, or at least not end in a disaster, is way too optimistic.

In not an all-powerful government, who will ensure the oligarchs don't get to power? I mean socialism without such government would fall apart in a mo...

I had read lots of materials on how people can be brainwashed. And if one has certain control over the mass media he can make people believe in comple...

Well, that's how attempts to install socialism always end up.

If each attempts costs the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent people than maybe you should not try and try again. ;)

The best I could come up with is that the censorship should be covert, pretty much like social media algorithms are censoring the people on the right....

And how is it supposed to work in real life? Why do we assume that the all-powerful government would be ok with being removed by the people, instead o...

Well socialism don't seem to work without killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people. All kinds of communes were tried in late 1800s, all failed...

Then maybe there is something wrong, if in real world "good" socialist start a revolution, but immediately are overthrown and killed by nefarious indi...

And it caved in. So at least it needs some way of strengthening to come back to the mainstream and stay there.

Well, but current leftist ideas somehow got hold by exploiting the 'marketplace of ideas'. Same way Nazis came to power, etc.

I'm surprised it isn't banned yet. :)

No, I haven't got that deep into philosophy as to read Wittgenstein. :) so far reading more public philosopher.

ok... well yes, in my opinion socialism is a very bad idea. it has been tried multiple times, failed miserably, often forcing the government to use fo...

After thinking about it, I couldn't come to a conclusion - should bad ideas ( like socialism, etc. ) also have free speech? Libertarians would say sur...

Seems that the concept of 'racist' is something the left appropriated and slaps onto anybody they don't like, same as transphobe, bigot, nazi, etc.

ok. not that you contributed anything very valuable to the discussion anyways.

I'd add that it is very amusing to watch people being unable to think outside of the concepts that have been installed into their heads. don't like ki...

Originally I was talking about being open to thinking. As for calling other people names, sane people seem to be very reserved here, yet lefties have ...

"Veritaphobia is a collection of ideas and phenomena that encompass a range of negative attitudes, feelings, or actions towards people stating objecti...

yes, that's pretty much how those transactivists operate.

Maybe you are veritaphobic - afraid of reality? Or you might be just bigoted towards people with traditional believes, so you try to smear them so tha...

One thing is to feel compassion towards a schizophrenic, who believes aliens are hiding under his bed, quite another is to 'affirm' is delusions or, m...

I think a person not minding kids being put on puberty blockers is already deep into the crazy narrative. For me, the rule of thumb would be "live as ...

The problem here is that normal, sane people just want to live their lives. While people with nothing else to do become activists and try to validate ...

An adult human female, of course.

How's about a left-wing extremism/populism?

I think we have CNN/MSNBC for the left wing simulacrum and FOX for the right. Again, I'm not into simulacrums, but so far the left seems to be going f...

Why do you assume one's feelings should trump reality? And a person disagreeing to engage in a falsehood is automatically an asshole?

Diverse sources.

Just for the record, Boebert, MTG, Gaetz, Rand Paul are very reprehensible people for trying to derail lendlease to Ukraine. On the other hand, why sh...

Live is perceived as a positive things. If you don't, you are welcome to leave this beautiful world.

Maybe its because the state immediately jumped onto vaxxing bandwagon, so the vaxxers didn't have stuff to protest about. On the other hand, you could...

Wait til we get to climate change. :rofl:

Could you be more specific here?

Yes, so it seems to help against dying if you are in the risk-group, but does little if you are relatively healthy to begin with. Radical vaxxer is so...

I think I already explained it above. In my country we had about 60% vaccination rate and every day I would read the news that about 10k people tested...
