I love talking about this! It's hilarious. I will never not find infinite joy in people getting mad at trivialities as excuses to be bigots.
June 07, 2022 at 13:27
Like clockwork. When did conservatives become these giant, wet, crybabies? I blame The Algorithm.

IIT: people getting mad that when they (hypothetically?) walk up to other people on the street and demand answers to random questions, those other peo...

"To be a philosopher you need only three things. First, infinite intellectual eros: endless curiosity about everything. Second, the ability to pay att...

I have no time for snowflakes like the OP who get triggered because of the way some people speak.
June 07, 2022 at 10:18
It's great how you are so completely incapable of comprehension that you don't recognize that the point is not that you "disbelieve Putin", but that y...

US to Africa: Kindly drop dead from starvation so we can win our proxy war I mean you're only black people who cares lol: https://www.nytimes.com/2022...

That article is remarkable to the extent that anyone who has read it is now objectively stupider for having done so. It's a gossip piece masquerading ...

I delayed my read of Losurdo! I'm doing a couple of Hegel books atm, then after that I will read his book on Hegel then back to Liberalism + Revolutio...

Yep. If @"ssu" couldn't brown nose US power, he wouldn't know how to breathe.

:up:. Appreciate your thoughts on Smith and Suwandi too. Currently Reading: Joshua Kates - Essential History: Jacques Derrida and the Development of D...
June 04, 2022 at 02:24
Yay, glad to hear it! And yes I think it's awesome :blush: I will just add that Derrida's approach is Derrida's alone: he does not stand for something...
June 03, 2022 at 11:51
No worries. Perhaps even skip to the paragrpah on the 2nd page which begins: "A good place to begin...". It's a nice starting point, and the paper is ...

For your reading pleasure - as well as @"Tom Storm"'s: 11 page PDF.

Is there something like, in particular that exceeds your comprehension?
June 03, 2022 at 10:43
Agreed. Among the goals of deconstruction is the effort the keep "open" the very possibility of any ethics whatsoever, without which no ethics could t...
June 03, 2022 at 10:36
The irony in some of this discussion is that one of the upshots of Derrida's critique is that things cannot be reduced to context, and no fine-grainin...

The lesson being that the US should fuck off forever from any involvement in anything ever.

Saddam couldn't have murdered as many Iraqis as the Americans did if he tried - let alone plunged the entire country into a futureless black hole. But...
June 02, 2022 at 20:12
A fun guessing game. Is this description from before, or after the war with Russia?:
June 02, 2022 at 20:04
:up: The cessation of war is a good in itself. You don't play with lives - especially from the comfort of some cosy swivel chair - because one wants t...
June 02, 2022 at 19:54
I'm just saying - As well as the absurd effort to smear the lines so that "well aren't the Russians Nazis too hmmm???". Like, yeah, the Russians are g...

Hey look it's Goodwin's L... wait no, it's just a giant incomplete list of Western publications all very clear about the Nazis in Ukraine right before...
June 02, 2022 at 17:17
Oh honey, you don't seem to know the meanings of words. I'm not comparing or making an analogy to Nazis. I'm talking about actual Nazis in Ukraine. Y'...
June 02, 2022 at 17:11
So the answer is yes then. OK, good to know.
June 02, 2022 at 16:44
No, they just enabled and continue to prolong a devastating war which is killing masses of Ukrainians day by day all the better than they can decimate...
June 02, 2022 at 16:34
It is both fascinating and horrifying to really come to grips with both how the West was treating Ukraine and how Ukraine was treating it's own citize...

Ah yes, the ol' "this genocidal state of affairs is immutable and my genocidal team is better than their genocidal team so there". And only someone wh...
June 02, 2022 at 14:31
Stupid question. No, Nazis are literally Nazis, I don't need to redefine terms so as get away with defending Nazis.
June 02, 2022 at 13:54
The scale of mass American gun violence is really, really hard to comprehend. Individual events are one thing but - look at these dates: https://i.ibb...
June 02, 2022 at 12:56
Christ, your brain is so rotted by treating this as a team-sport to cheer-lead to that your question is: which non-European entity should tell Europe ...
June 02, 2022 at 12:38
Complete bullshit not worth entertaining. Europeans do what Americans tell them. Oh well that makes it OK then.
June 02, 2022 at 02:53
That's fair. I would assume that cessation of hostilities would take priority in the order of the two points mentioned. I guess I asked as well becaus...

I'm not disappointed dude. We're good friends, remember?
June 01, 2022 at 10:46
Fair enough, if you think it's a positive. I do too.

That quote, as a strategy. What's wrong with it? Should people not be trying to increase the costs of war on Moscow? Should people not be trying to en...
June 01, 2022 at 10:42
As an excuse for democrats to offshore the fact that they irredeemably suck? What does that have to do with anything?
June 01, 2022 at 10:42
Apart from the superficial comparison to Kissinger, the only piece of substance in that warbling blob of text is this: And if so - what seems to be th...
June 01, 2022 at 10:40
This is so many rambly words to say it's OK that Ukrainians should drop dead on the West's behalf. It's funny, at least the others like to pretend - o...
June 01, 2022 at 09:47
This doesn't even make sense when directed at me lol. Being cute is not a substitute for not being dumb.
June 01, 2022 at 09:03
This is just neoconservative parochial trash. Your paranoia does not mean you get to excuse and encourage Western bloodshed. The one lesson to be lear...
June 01, 2022 at 07:54
Yes, and? That the West feels left out in the bloodshed is not exactly an excuse to partake and heighten it. Edit: Sorry, by "partake" I mean, not par...
June 01, 2022 at 07:10
If we don't encourage the wonton murder of Ukranians, the West will be seen as weak :( Never mind that the places like the US routinely shoot their ow...
