And you abuse this justified distinction to attribute being to sentience, exclusively. That is the lie.

It does not support the further distinction, made up by you whole-cloth, that being accords to sentient beings and existence to rocks. If anything, be...

Wheather or not this is the case is utterly irrelevant because the study of being has never been about this. Listen: why are you fabricating history? ...

I'm sorry that your inability to substantiate your fabrications led you to this nothingburger line.

Yes, I know all this quite well. Notably, there is not a single thing in what you quoted which makes being an exclusive domain of humans or apes or wh...

Yeah this is your own little napkin distribution of the distinction that accords to nothing in philosophy. Please stop acting as though anyone but you...

No it wasn't.

It absolutely does not. It rightly makes a distinction between being and existence, but it in no way goes on to situate 'being' on the side of living ...

The dude even regularly cites an essay I supplied to him to show him how completely off-base he is on this point and yet he still sticks to this fake ...

Says you who is the only person who ever tries to say thing 'being' = living entities despite having been told and shown multiple times that no one bu...

All wealth is socially generated and what wealth any single person has is a function of what society collectively decides is appropriate.

It's the one redeeming feature of a Trump administration - it is practically a left radicalization factory. But even when not in power, liberals find ...

It would be much like the current adminstration, except it will make liberals uncomfortable enough to say something because it will be honest about it...

Imagine being against the state (when not run by Trump) but an apologist for billionaires.

Nah, just you specifically because you make things up which are the literal opposite of reality.

... after which worker gains in terms of pay and rights have never been better. Again, I know that you are incapable of distinguishing great power gam...

Except that WWI did not "prove them wrong" because worker solidarity literally flourished in the wake of WWI like no other time in the history of the ...

Yes, the interwar period is generally taken to have taken place after the first war and before the second war that is correct well done five stars for...

Confusing the absence of 'international solidarity' for the power games of states is equally stupid but sure.

I wonder if you get off on just making things up for fun or if you genuinely are completely ignorant of the fact that the interwar period was a litera...

Praising agreements made at COP is like praising a den of wolves for agreeing amongst each other to murder less chickens.

Yeah literally the only person who thinks neoliberalism is some big conspiracy is ssu.

I'm gonna pick up McNally's Against the Market and Hito Steyerl's Duty Free Art. There's a few others I want (specifically Enzo Traverso's Revolution:...

Mmm, which is I suppose why you and your ilk unconditionally flag carry for one of the most aggressive foreign policy war hawks to have ever breathed ...

It's fundamental nature is killing poor people for American profits. I'd say it stands for exactly what the right does. And so too what passes for 'th...

You're probably right but it's funny to see someone call an institution of war criminals and murderers that preys on the poor and desperate and subcon...

Lmao the US military are mall cops of oil corporations.

It's hard to imagine any more uninformed and ignorant takes than "neoliberalism = more free trade". The idea that there has not been a neoliberal prog...

Yay! I get two books from them everytime this happens lol. But yes I have this vague memory of it being 50% last year. All my 'booky' friends are real...

A quick one: metaphysics is chronophobia.

I mostly agree except I don't think Biden has much of an agenda except for having stopped Bernie, after which he - or whichever new corporate shill th...

To be fair everything you said ought to be a given. The only thing that would be a surprise is if all of what you just said was not the case.

Comrade :strong:

Oh it didn't take long :rofl: "Instead of taxing billionaires, we'll put a tax on things that ordinary people use all the time". https://twitter.com/s...

Eh. There's not much more to say at this point. I look forward to posting again when the democrats "concede" something else yet again, only to have fr...

We can talk about it, but not in this thread.

Chomsky can't even get linguistics right, to think he can get politics right.

It's cute how you think describing literally the same action differently is supposed to mean anything.

Lmao "Vote for Biden vote for Biden" is about the entire content of your posting history. If you can't even get that right, no wonder you can't get li...

It's true that in capitalism you ought to shamelessly do what you can to survive. It's also true that the idea that 'voting for Biden' is a survival t...

Look, you're a Biden supporter. It's OK to say so. You support capitalism. It's OK to say so too. You also support destroyers of the environment. It's...

You know the function of politics right? To change reality? And no, not voting for Biden - or whatever phony corporate shill they put in his place - w...

"Voting for Biden is not supporting Biden". And supposing my paraphrasing is not exactly right, which it is, this lowest-common-denominator hostage-ta...

... to support people who ruin lives and ensure they get to do so.

It is absolutely a crappy position. But it is one engineered by the parties themselves. I'm not offering easy solutions. I don't think there are. Peop...

Nope. I'm against supporting people who ruin lives, and more than that, ensuring they get to do so.

There is definitely worse - which is perpetuating a by-now 60 or so year cycle.

I'll keep quoting this so long as you need dude. Take your time. I'll even type slow for you. I'm a big supporter of helping people with learning disa...

Not just voting. I think both parties ought to be actively opposed and called out at every point. I'm not against voting. Vote how you like. But be aw...
