You just ignore what leaders say when it doesn't suit your narrative and then expect people to listen to you quoting them when it does. It's become a ...
If we all agreed that the arguments had been countered over and over then we wouldn't still be arguing them would we? So you're just begging the quest...
Yes. But is @"Olivier5" trying to smear me, Benkei and boethius by association with Carlson and Taylor Greene, or is he trying to smear Carlson and Ta...
Funny how the advocates of 'epistemic responsibility' are always the most dogmatic about their own beliefs. We've heard the notion before on this very...
More of that agree with ssu common sense we've been hearing about I suppose? Funny how you seem to be so utterly unfailing in your application of this...
That's not an anthropological fact, it's an anthropological theory. So now I'm to provide 'evidence' yet you get to simply declare things to be 'anthr...
I think you're right. That significantly ups the death count. Although I think the point was that they knew about the link to cancer but ignored it. H...
British American Tobacco? Knowingly killed more people than any other single entity in the time between them knowing cigarettes caused lung cancer and...
So what do suppose happens now? In your mind, how did this play out? I say "you got me, I just made all that up, I don't have any sources at all". Is ...
OK. p1] Critical thinking is not a method of thought which isn't needed to be trained and nurtured to become a mental tool against cognitive biases. S...
Regardless of the reliability of the estimates, vim wondering why, after all that's been said, you'd think an argument based only on casualty figures ...
Yes, we get what you're saying. What's lacking is an argument. If you say "it's common sense that X is the case" and I say "its common sense that X is...
I'm just baffled that you don't get this. Do you really not understand the difference between something seeming to you to be the case and something ac...
You're complaining that discussion of the US involvement in Yemen, or Ethiopia is off topic because the thread is about Ukraine. It's not off topic be...
We're not a news service and we're not anyone's personal blog, nor are we your therapist. This is a discussion forum. It's for discussion. So a thread...
Yes. And it is western media who are presenting that picture saying "look at how much of a liar Putin is". Both are acts of propaganda so we would ful...
Obvious to you. Not so to others, and it's the disagreement between you and those others we're talking about here. If you say "it's obvious that X", a...
OK, then remind me of the premise. If "Critical thinking is something which needs teaching" is the conclusion of a logical argument - not just an asse...
Wow. You're going with "It looks like a lie to me, therefore it must be one". Because you're infallible? I don't know if you've come across propaganda...
Here's an interview with Yanis Varoufakis. He's saying much the same things as we're saying here. The point I want you to note is the first part https...
And? https://odysee.com/@Orf:b/hunter-biden-laptop-russian-disinfo:b Or https://odysee.com/@Orf:b/lab-leak-conspiracy-theory-mashup:4 Both sides lie. ...
I don't understand this proposition at all. If you already know the 'truth' (such that you know one side tells the truth and the other lies) then why ...
No. It's almost exclusively imposed on them. Not only is the curriculum set at governmental level, but even if people are consulted, those consulted a...
The answers have been given over and over. 1. That Putin's actions are awful is a) obvious and b) all over every form of media in the western world. W...
I see. So nothing to do with the comment you cited then. Perhaps consider just making a fresh post next time, rather than opening with a completely un...
You self evidently can't. You just don't seem to get it, you don't see your role in this. You are one of the useful idiots. 1. Commit atrocity 2. Tell...
None of those are national identities. They're all choices to join certain groups. I'm English, but I'm not going to commit others to war just to rema...
You're right. What that's got to do with the comment you cited, which was about the morality of fighting for universals such as 'national identity', I...
How? You've suggested education. I disagree, so suddenly I'm saying we should do nothing? How on earth have you arrived at the conclusion that anythin...
I see. So from what non-western source did you anticipate this 'education' coming. Which textbooks of say, Senegalese, origin were you thinking of? Wh...
Right. Well we'll just have to agree to differ. If you find it morally defensible and I don't, I don't see how much further we can go as there are few...
So again, what you mean when you say "people haven't supplied me with an answer..." is "I disagree with the answer...". It's astonishing on a philosop...
Yes, partly just on the grounds that you've provided no evidence at all, but simply assumed it. But more importantly the racist trope is the idea that...
You do know there's a global socialist movement don't you? I can't think of any way to interpret this question other than a rhetorical one implying yo...
My apologies. I'll try again. This... ...is a racist trope. As is... I'm not saying @"Christoffer" is racist, but those two positions are both common ...
This has already been answered. That you refuse to engage with the answer is not something the rest of us are responsible for. Western capitalism enta...
Seriously? You're quibbling about the correct terminology? The only matter of substance with regards to the 'siege' is it's impact on the question of ...
Yeah, that's how it's generally done, but nonetheless, I'm not sure one could ever devise statements of such clarity and circumstances wherein people ...
This is done quite frequently, with mixed results. The problem is in interpreting the statement. Statements are vague and it's not always clear what t...
To be honest, I don't think I ever saw how it was a sufficiently unified approach to be collected under a single banner. I read Giorgi when I was at u...
