Whether or not the US is a democracy - it is not - has no bearing on whether or not China is. Not one bit. And China is about as democratic as my butt...
I think this view is both paternalistic and naive. China commands an extremely well oiled state apparatus that has proven time and time again to execu...
I deeply, deeply dislike this definition, which confuses a mechanism of democratic rule with democratic rule as such. If democracy is the exercise of ...
Nah, Leg is some other existing user who recently asked to have his or her name changed to Leghorn because Idk they have nothing better to do and we o...
Knew this would be some racial segregationist bullshit right from the 2nd sentence. So many paragraphs just to say "I don't like race mixing, and you ...
Oh nice, an object lesson. There are things beneath or beside refutation, and their dismissal does not constitute an ad hom, insofar as it doesn't fun...
Your inability to function - much less think - without a mythic crutch does not warrant an arrogation of this impotence to cosmic proportions. Much le...
Hence the incomparable superiority of Spinoza over even a single page of Schopenhauer: "The free person thinks least of all of death, and his wisdom i...
One wonders how it is the not the height of infantialism to demand that 'meaning' be handed to one on a silver platter from on high, with the alternat...
Maybe, maybe not. Not being a speculative dogmatist about the issue, I'm not particularly keen to rule one way or the other in advance of cases to dis...
Then we are agree that the idea that the idea that 'analytic philosophy might provide a more solid basis for social theory' on the basis of the fantas...
I'm not fond of wantonly calling people racists either, especially on the basis of shitty identity politics, but your carrying the flag for people who...
Australia is certainly one of the most racist places on Earth, and my ability to live here is enabled and fostered by that racism, sure. Am I a racist...
Oh sweet summer child. There are none more deluded than those who think their chosen camping spot in philosophy is not just shite made up. Probably th...
Those who complain about Chinese expansionism but have nothing to say about America's ringing of the Earth with military bases and material support fo...
Well yes because now you know who are racists. Also if being called a racist epiphanies you in to accepting the label, then you are a shit person at e...
Then you have a low opinion of humanity. Which, considering religion dehumanizes at every point, is unsurprising. This is of course, built into religi...
Sure it does. The reality of religion - as opposed to the idealized self-image, which pales before it - is that is has left its mark on the world in t...
Agapé. https://twitter.com/CBCCanada/status/1408451703284944898 On topic, I'd never really considered the fact that the whole notion of 'no atheists i...
That all said one only has to look at what is happening right now to the Apple Daily newspaper (nothing to do with Apple the tech company) in Hong Kon...
I actually appreciate that this comes off so transparently as propaganda. It's far better than what comes out of 'the West' when they self-congratulat...
Banno's real name is simply 'Ban'. He was born only to ban people on internet forums. Which apparently he can do in the absence of mod powers. But, be...
Nothing has changed in the US, except perhaps for the worse. /uploads/resized/files/k9/ca8jxdry0ze6gzav.jpg The US is simply a decaying state. As its ...
Back in the day we used to call this class consciousness. Now I guess it's got to be translated into some ephemeral existential stuff to gain traction...
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-57562685 Government who has done all it can to ensure the destruction of the reef is mad that they are being ...
I think what is called analytic philosophy thrives because it ignores these issues. Or at least, when it does deign to treat them, it does so in such ...
The OP does not contain an argument, only an assertion. It doesn't even rise to the level of Stove's Gem, which would in fact be more welcome than wha...
They take the Australian public for a bunch of fools and... they're probably right. You'll never meet a more politically apathetic bunch of wankers th...
Having not read a single thing @"Iris0" wrote in the sex thread, but having come across her posts elsewhere, the banning was well justified. If you ca...

Is for Israel to stop committing genocide. For which you will excuse with imagined threats and speculative 'solutions' like 'Israelis leaving' and 'nu...
Yeah because apparently it's easier for you to imagine someone detonating a nuke in Israel as a solution to its settler colonialism than for Israel to...
This entire rambling warble can be summed up by you saying that Israel should not stop being an apartheid state which continues to ethnic cleanse Pale...
