Was thinking of entering the topic, but then I realized there’s a rise in these topics seemingly increasing on this forum. And it just feels part of t...
As do I, but we still run into the hard problem, that our imagination of another reality is dependent on the physical properties of our own, thus maki...
The only real dangerous position is that they clearly state they should “support resistance” in th EU. They are basically saying that they will try an...
First two correct, but not the third. What I meant is that the act of asking the question in the way the OP does, is a form of cry out for God. It’s a...
Yes, but that’s not what I’m getting at. We know that reality looks and behaves vastly different than our senses and limited perspective can perceive,...
Coming in late to the discussion, but just adding one key note… the fact we only experience reality in the way we do is not evidence there’s something...
It is good for Europe and the EU to get shaken to the core by all of this. We will all benefit from the EU becoming stronger and more connected as a c...
I can see in the archive that our stories from the story competitions are in the open. Would they be indexed by search spiders and AI scrapings? Just ...
"Progressives" is a very broad term. As a fundamental definition, progressives merely represent a focus on changing society from a set of humane moral...
Of course the US state would pressure Google to take it down, though there's nothing in that video that warrants censorship. It will be up and running...
Is it because there's some other thread that this discussion continued from that let it spiral down politics alone? It seems to me that you asked for ...
I think F.D signifier breaks things down better than any of us have succeeded in exposing exactly what is going on with US politics and where the righ...
Is all this about risks to freedom of speech in the UK? I'm no expert in those legal things based on nations, but wouldn't Ireland be better since alm...
I think it's all over the modern world, and rather than how the "how do they do it?"-question was asked in the past in genuine childlike curiosity of ...
I don't think the philosophical mind raises the question of evil, because the philosophical mind recognize that "evil" is a made up concept, unconscio...
Yeah.... "how doooo they do it?" is the one question modern people in industrialized nations ask themselves with the most fake ass expression on their...
How does that make the entire forum lean left? And what is your criticism through that? Isn't that just a genetic fallacy ignoring ideas based on thei...
How do you mean? Are we not seeing primarily conservative rightwingers deny climate science or, for the purpose of this thread, medical science? Isn't...
Yet, there's also a point to be made that many arguments that rely on facts tend to be called leftist. There's far more climate science deniers or gen...
Had some problem receiving emails from this site when changing passwords. If the move over to the new site requires an email invite for the current ac...
The larger bubble is that the market has not yet come to realize how its shifted from day traders on the floor to everyone being day traders. Previous...
Sometimes I wonder if the earlier Marx went into the opium of hope later on as more revolutionary comments were made. His and Engel's theories at thei...
After whatever you did I can see it now, can everyone else as well? Also… is there any plan for a new run for 2025? Kinda looking forward to these thi...
I see this as disrupting the whole thing. How do you define "sane" and "competent"? Where do you draw the line? How do you prove it wasn't under coerc...
I’m always wondering how long it takes for a revolution to happen these days. Have the world gone so apathetic that no one is turning the guns back to...
Since he is still in power and hasn't been removed from power, I guess all of that is legal and aligns perfectly well with the constitution? Right? Th...
Do you think people who are left of the extreme right and Trump to be left leaning? I don't think this forum is very left leaning, I think it's pretty...
The recent behavior of Trump and MAGA seems to solidify the fact that we’re dealing with a narcissistic dictator wannabe who takes advantage of a craz...
And the irony is that the ones who use free speech the most as a defense for whatever vile thing they have to say... are the ones who silence Kimmel. ...
So now that Trump's people threatened Disney to fire Jimmy Kimmel "or else", we have truly arrived at the very definition of what censorship is (not h...
It is rather remarkable that people think that the words spread by anyone isn't enough to cause shifting values and morals in society. The harmful, de...
Isn't this hindsight bias? You are comparing the end result of a shift in society with a society in shift. Nazi Germany started with "talk", with a rh...
How does that rhyme with... Seems like you are arguing through a Kantian perspective, which is the opposite of a nihilist. I would say that history sh...
Yes, but one needs to also ask, if nothing was directly influenced, could the entirety of Korea have come out leaving behind authoritarianism and not ...
Of course... but we also need to remember that when a person becomes an influential figure in politics, especially with extreme views that indirectly ...
And this is a problem with any discussion about politics and war. It demands a great deal of understanding of society to be able to say that a current...
Was operation Valkyrie political activism? This is the question, when is it justified? What is justified? Is it ever justified? As a philosophical que...
"Pardon" was the wrong word, rather wanted a patriot to bail him out. Then rejecting that the right wing rhetoric had anything to do with pushing acts...
Sorry, the thread popped up and it's a long read to go through everything so I was just thinking I would address the original premises. Maybe the disc...
We are not certain that language evolved separate of thought. The idea that thoughts are not dependent on lingustics, ignores that language does not n...
Wasn't the US supposed to be the beacon of light for free democratic societies in the world? Trying to install it in other nations by the means of ant...
The problem with the reactions right now is that people whitewash Kirk's behavior and what he has actually said over the years. Even his most vocal cr...
When rule of law doesn't function and democracy is being manipulated... what purpose does the ballot have? The fact is that almost everyone speaks out...
I think that it's pretty obvious why this happened. Kirk was part of the rightwing fascists who argues in defense of the second amendment for the purp...
Though, his argument for the gun deaths in defense of the second amendment was primarily for "the other side" to die so he and others can continue spr...
Yes…. and if people oppose the idea of this being actual rising fascism, they’re delusional. I’m still waiting for people to ignite some actual rage i...
And per tradition, I’ll ask, what’s the people of the US doing about it? We can’t blame narcissistic psychopaths for their attempt at seizing power, b...
