I hope you are right, there are not the lynchings and the overt apartheid there used to be. But things that have gone can return, and since the organi...

Well Perhaps don't insinuate that I do. I have enough humility to argue on my own behalf, and not other people's. And at no point have I argued for vi...

Why would you think that anyone thinks that black people favour violence? Where does the violence come from? where did it begin? (hint: knee on neck u...

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/05/31/politics/trump-underground-bunker-white-house-protests/index.html Does this mean it's nearly the end of the war alr...

Yes. Hence, Malcolm X "by any means necessary". And it is not an accident that things are coming to a head as the last of the WW2 generation is passin...

Something that can be done. https://www.policeempathy.com/?fbclid=IwAR2xXlsoOstXTuxkJspy7mddc0AQQq-Xv_jL6v__-d4oYR6nkVurxG-joec If one only recognises...

Hello. I think some people are glad to have got your attention. By 'you' I mean anyone who has not been paying very much attention to the BLM campaign...

So the discussion between Moore and the skeptic, and the one here to which you have not much responded are in a sense, fake. One cannot have a discuss...

Interesting notion. If it was a zen koan, I don't think that was an adequate response. Note the connection between the response and the responsibility...

I used to work in the UK subsidiary, and I discovered how many managers it takes to change a light bulb. It was six, and a mechanical lifting platform...

If it was true for everyone, if everyone knew it, there would be order. But there is not order. Extra-judicial killings are disorder. Slavery is disor...

There have been peaceful protests all that time that you know about and have been supporting because everyone has. There hasn't been violence on this ...

Well let me see, is my knee on your neck? I think it would be an over-reaction to my failure to die of covid. I have had a brick through the window, a...

That is a pious fantasy. An unarmed black guy is murdered in public view on camera while his fellows look on and do nothing, and no one is arrested. U...

What does it require? the campaign has been going a long time, now. What would work? No one here was thinking about the issues much a few days ago.

If that is a step in the right direction, there's a long long long way to go. And how many steps have been taken in fifty years since MLK and Malcolm ...

I was but a youth back then; how much has changed.

I think I'm done with this farrago of apologetics for a racist, fascist, and collapsing state.Keep up the good work chaps, no need to change direction...

I didn't make it about you, you did. See I don't claim to care too much about strangers' economic situations, so I don't have to defend it. Stick to a...

So why's the army there then?

When? About five minutes ago. After big trouble not before it.

Do you? Really? What do you do about it?

You know that's nonsense, don't you. Consciousness doesn't come from anywhere or go anywhere. Deal with the row. I move the third duck from underneath...

Yes, I can see that. If it was about one man being killed, I would agree with you. But it isn't. One man is killed by another while other police look ...

The updated version of drapetomania. Some people regard accusations of insanity with suspicion, when it meshes with politics. It's an extreme ingratit...

I didn't have to. I could have put them like this: Duck, duck duck. But I like to get my ducks in a row.

I put them there.

No, they are not what. What are keys? Yes. Keys are shaped metal devices for opening locks. Here's a simple example: Duck, duck, duck. Three ducks in ...

Scorched Earth is a venerable military tactic, of proven effectiveness.

Suppose I ask you where my marriage resides? Is it in the certificate, or the ceremony, in me, in my wife, in both of us, is it emergent, is it imagin...

I certainly hope so. Indeed I hope for a revolution. But I don't have enough breath to hold at the moment for pandemic reasons.

Thing is, what does it take to get a racist murdering cop arrested? And the answer is not overwhelming evidence, peaceful protest, reasoned argument, ...

No. It is immoral to charge students for education.

Nice one. Do you even want an answer? That is not criticism, harsh or generous; its a feeble rhetorical trick to undermine your opponent without actua...

So where do the CEOs live? Martha's Vineyard? Beverley Hills? Twin towers?

Harsh, if you will, though it's not the word I would choose. But as he describes the subject of his criticism, such a person would not be interested i...

The problem with p-s is that they conflate consciousness and thought. Zombies do not have problems. The characteristic of consciousness is not a good ...

For some reason or none, it never meant anything much to me. Kind of like the trolley, you can make it go which way you want. A trolley operated by a ...

A couple of thought experiments we like. What is it like to be a bat? Nagel. What is it like to be a a light ray? Einstein. Is it something about ethi...

I'm asking, because for the moment I have the luxury. Of course it doesn't invalidate anyone's action. But protests get infiltrated and manipulated in...

Well paranoia suggests that the 'agent' in the video is provoking a riot and that people with nothing to lose are pawns in a game of 'look how dangero...
