Cool question but surely this can't be answered a priori. Kant's oeuvre is such a sprawling, hulking beast that to be called "Kantian" could mean all ...

So when do we think Biden will award Putin the presidential medal of freedom for allowing the US empire to keep its head above water for a few more ye...

Ahahaha. Seems like the fascists are not sending their best.

Free speech is a fake problem. It is literally not a problem. A total distraction. "Free speech" what plutocrats would like plebs to continually bicke...

But of course you would. A Russian official could say "We will never use nuclear weapons ever", and you would read it as a veiled threat. You may not ...

Lavrov literally said: "Nuclear war is unacceptable, this is Moscow's principled position ... I would very much not like that now, when the risks are ...

Just as Biden serves as a bulwark against the left and an enabler of fascism, so too is the pattern repeated in France, where the fascist-enabler Macr...

Yeah, which is why you consistently work so hard to minimize attention and apologize for the worst abuser of all three on the planet.
April 19, 2022 at 14:54
Lol imagine thinking the US even gives an iota of a shit about 'human rights, free press, and fair elections'. Jfc you post literal propaganda and exp...

Oh, sheer conincidence.

I couldn't care less. I don't even know who you are.

Right, so you have no idea what CRT is about and find it goes over your head. Yet you still feel qulified to have a strong opinion about it. Yeah, sor...

And what is this supposed to mean? Has an intellectual movement (qua intellectual movement) ever "changed a nation's political direction"? Does CRT ha...

Kindergarden for you it is, I guess. To be fair, since WWII the US has more or less given up on winning wars. Their modus operandi is to go in, absolu...

Ah, time to massacre a bunch of Palestianian children in response, no doubt.
April 18, 2022 at 17:48
Ok buddy, if it means so much to you, you can have your 'will'. Meanwhile I imagine most people who are not in kindergarden will probably lean a bit m...

Assuming, of course, they have weapons to fire.

That's OK, it's pretty common for people to psychologize and metaphysicalize world politics. It's the lowest hanging fruit which requires no actual ma...

April 18, 2022 at 16:55
What does this even mean? And again it's incredible how quickly you elect to identify yourself with the anonymous 'white person' mentioned in my post.
April 18, 2022 at 16:51
Again, the capacity of white people to turn a discussion of centuries of racial opression into one about their feelings will never not surprise me.
April 18, 2022 at 16:43
This will never happen and it is not in the interest of the West, so long as it remains capitalist, to do so. The West elected to "dump" its factories...
