It depends. Kant is by no means easy for someone who has not read alot of philosophy before, and neither Kierkegaard nor Nietzsche are a walk in the p...

I don't particularly want it to make a difference. Trump tore the Republican party into pieces. I think it would be to the benefit of all if it stayed...

This coming from someone who voted in line with Trump's policies nearly 85% of the time. These shitbags are all talk.

Can you stop doubling up on existing threads.

Yeah, when they chanted "hang Mike Pence" what they really meant was "engage in rigorous critical debate with Mike Pence". That said, as if that larpi...

Does literally anything else need to be said about this? That it needed to be said at all is embarrasing.

:lol: I was enjoying the responses haha

Sorry, official Thought Police™ orders.

So this is one of the few things that has genuinely surprised me - perhaps naively - about the capitol incident. The myth that spontaneously formed ri...

Aw your daddy was made to beg. Must be tired of winning, fucking loser.

Lol cry more fuck Trump.

:up:

No doubt you'll have their back.

I will as soon as soon as Americans do.

Perhaps. I'd punch a Nazi or two with some relish.

The Nazi regime was not on the whole composed of mass murderers. Just normal people happy to let things happen.

Yeah I took into account the alledged number of people put off by Trump's post-election antics. I dunno, Americans on the whole are shit so maybe the ...

At this point it's pretty much anyone who continues to support Trump. So maybe about 50 million or so Americans, give or take, generously.

Cool! It's more 'pop' than alot of her other work, and pretty breezy to get through.

:up:

Exactly the trash the video I posted debunks.

Wait - you think taxation is capitalist? And conversely, you think "globalism" isn't capitalist?

They still fear Trump's base, even if Trump himself is a political dead man walking. The lesson: the end of Trump is not the end of Trumpism.

Feel free to watch the linked video.

It's hard to take seriously claims that capitalism 'is incredibly efficient' as anything more than mythmaking on the order of Aztec Gods and magical w...
