But surely you're the first one here to fall victim to such sensationalism? A typical fruit shop ought to be more terrifying to you than this kinda-di...
I like Daniel Dor's thesis that language's utility (or what he calls 'functional specificity') consists in coordinating imagination. In particular, it...
Well I recognize it as an artificial(!) distinction that is contextual and useful in some circumstances while not being very useful in others. If ther...
We have been creating synthetic animals for the longest time; the means have just been different. Our 'best friends' - dogs - are effectively syntheti...
And who runs biotech and health care? I have no doubt as to the purity of his intentions. He's probably a lovely, intelligent, interesting bloke. Unfo...
In principle I am totally on board with this. We have used technology to create the biggest and most devastating mass extinction in the history of the...
idk I'm a broad tent kinda guy, I hate all imperialism but I also believe in proportionality and the US is clearly the most murderous country in the w...
Nah this is just something people say because they have nothing of substance to add. Besides it would be dumb to focus on the log for the forest of Am...
Cavell singlehandedly demolished almost all the usual philosophical discussion of ethics for me. Like, in comparison with Cavell, most ethical discuss...
Remembering the day that the US abused the deaths of ~3000 people to engage in a murdeous paroxysm of international violence that would leave ~400,000...
"The eight generals who commanded American forces in Afghanistan between 2008 and 2018 have gone on to serve on more than 20 corporate boards, accordi...
No, no you're not. And besides, Afghanistan was clearly just practice for the US. Aspiration for the home front. Afghan women: American woman of the f...
Nothing, like anything anyone does here, which you know perfectly well, you posturing high-horse'd git. This kind of low hanging rubbish ought to be b...
Hey Hano was the one who got mad at me for not taking a bunch of degenerate woman haters with the seriousness and dignity they deserve. I figured that...
Yes, the philosophy of power and domination and its exercise upon the bodies and freedoms of women. Which is what this is about. Why do you think it's...
It certainly isn't irrelevant to the women whose lives are continually ruined by these laws. But sure, treat it as a cute little academic debate while...
There is no debate about regulating abortion, and especially not in the US, a fundamentalist regime of extremism and misogyny. Abortion is irrelevant ...
I mean fuck me, we're talking about Texas which is sending their children into gas chamber classrooms. These people are supposed to care about childre...
No, because only morons take these people at their word when you can simply look at what they do. The faux 'how could you!' tone of your post is hilar...
Nah, this kinda stuff has nothing to do with the life of children. It's just punishment for women who have sex. That's it. It's pretty straightforward...
No wonder the US gifted Afghanistan to the Taliban. They share the same hateful, fucked up, attitudes towards woman. Also maybe Americans will come to...
Right, but only one of these is differential in its effects. Whatever the discourse around parallel lines, my life is exactly the same as Jeff Bezos. ...
Well we are becoming more and more Americanized every day, which is the worst possible thing that can happen. In some respects we are much worse, cons...
The division and discord you have in the US is between one set of working class plebs pitched against another set of working class plebs. What you don...
The same cannot, in any sense, be said of political and economic problems. Why? Because the latter issues are lived. You may never have to deal with E...
It's very cute to see Americans lobbing tar bombs at their respective local villains, as if a multi-decade bipartisan effort led by a nation whose con...

When you learn that capital is indifferent to fake lines on a map except to the extent that it can use them to its advantage, it doesn't really matter...
Considering the US had 20 years to get their logistics straight, these were not captured. They were gifted. Jesus Christ the instinctive rhetoric peop...
I spent most of my reading budget this year reading about state-formation and the contingency and fragility of the state-form so yes, very much so, an...
:meh: Seems kinda like an imperialist take to me, where 'country' = 'centralized system which can be taken over easily by an invading power'. Don't li...
Gee it's almost like a twenty year occupation which didn't change a thing and was the cause of tens of thousands of deaths is likely to breed resentme...
To think that this piece of shit country still imagines it gives a flying hoot about the 'women and children' of Afghanistan: https://www.audacy.com/c...
