A lot of right-wing speakers who aren't racist, fascist or alt-right disagree with the issues around systemic racism, George Floyd, political correctn...

Hmm, true, I misrepresented you there, my bad. Doesn't change my main* point though.

I don't agree with too much counterpunch has said but I'm pretty sure he isn't alt-right, racist or fascist. He isn't condoning anything by saying Geo...

You're really stubborn, your assertion here annoys me a lot, I should just ignore you and let it go but I can't. Quote where you asked for the evidenc...

No, you are misreading the situation here because honestly, I have no idea whether you even have a political affiliation or what that is if you do. I ...

I didn't take offence to anything but I'm not letting that comment slide. You give me a 1 liner "I have a feeling you are seeing ideologies that aren'...

It seems to me like you already made up your mind about it before I even said anything. You have said: 1. Ridiculing and trolling occur across the boa...

I have had many debates about typical talking points of the left and the right and they're simply left vs further left almost every time. If it's not ...

I don't like political labels but if I had to give myself one then I'd call myself a liberal, not a conservative. What I believe is that a healthy thi...
January 12, 2021 at 16:24
I agree with that but I think the effect of the leftist ideologues is worse, you have threads of 4-5 people writing pages of comments with just name-c...

I don't have an issue with the left-dominated forum but there are clear double standards in the moderation here. If I posted like streetlightx, I woul...

Intellects dictate meaning, including the meaning of relative space and time and inanimate objects have no active role to play to dispute whatever the...

Good point. Trump became a more trustworthy source of news for his base than anything else. Trump demonstrated how weak the controls are on the presid...

You're wasting your time, the guy you're talking to is well beyond reason. I've never seen him treat anyone who disagrees with him with anything but m...

On this forum being called a right-winger is used practically as an insult but that's because this forum is incredibly left-leaning. I don't know if i...

One would have to be a real crackpot to hand over the reins to a group like US Antifa on "how to combat fascism". I don't even trust them to define it...
January 09, 2021 at 15:06
I do not think socialism can belong to the left and that capitalism is on the right. Fascism, for instance, is known to have anti-capitalistic faction...

This forum really contains close to no actual right-wingers, if you actually look at the majority of political debates on this forum, it's moderate le...
January 09, 2021 at 05:52
It's true that this forum is mostly left-leaning but it's a bit unfair for you to complain about being unceasing attacks from leftists. Post anything ...

I don't think these type of things threaten our democracies but rather reveal how our democracies were never really as transparent as we want to belie...

I think it would be impossible to justify commending someone who intends for something malevolent but inadvertently does good but I don't think it is ...

You did not clarify whether you are using obesity and overweight interchangeably. I said enough, that neither being overweight or obese necessarily me...
January 01, 2021 at 09:14
What? You believe it is rational to believe something to be true when it's demonstrably untrue because...? Your logic? Or what? You also don't care ab...

All you have to do is open up a calorie calculator to realise that even doing a large amount of exercise does not burn enough calories to make that mu...

Not a valid argument. Not only is it possible to play sports or dance and still be overweight but inactivity is not the cause of American obesity, so ...

All the evidence goes against you, who would argue that Michael Jordon made basketball less popular? Or that Michael Jackson made people had the effec...

Competitive metrics are not fundamentally instituted but exist through a pre-existing hierarchical mode of evaluation. Singing didn't become competiti...

I know what fascism is, it is basically whatever I don't like is fascist. Capitalism is fascist, racism is fascist, sexism is fascist, disagreeing wit...

Cultural decay is clearly a generational thing, how many people talk of a cultural decay of longer than a hundred years in contemporary times? When pe...

I do not think attachments are the source of the problem, I think instead it's interpretation. You can be attached to something worth your emotional i...

You talked about cultural decay but you give examples of people just totally converting to a new culture or genocide. I think that language is at the ...
December 29, 2020 at 16:51
As I said, any category of culture will have changed in so many ways from 1960 to 2020 that it is far from unreasonable to say that the changes are im...
December 29, 2020 at 16:37
I think it's really hard to evaluate to what extent it's possible. I only disagree that it's achievable in just any context, I don't think an extreme ...
December 28, 2020 at 17:10
I think It's possible but only in certain contexts, the more you care, the more impossible this is.
December 28, 2020 at 14:26
The archetypal experience of culture in the 1960s is very different than in 2020, few things have remained the same. That is the result of the many ch...

What is cultural collapse?

Attachments aren't a problem until they become a problem, I don't see the point in pre-emptively removing all attachments, that's an overreaction. All...
December 27, 2020 at 21:03
It's really very subjective but if you want to include stuff like "Americans still use English" and other basics then 1% is hyperbole but if you consi...

I do not think that having the same culture is necessary to understand another human being. I do not want to add a litany of disclaimers based on what...

There are many foreign nations today which have more in common with my home country (Australia) than 1960s Australia. I could live in many countries a...

For most of history, the life of the next generation didn't really differ much from the previous one. That only started changing when technology and e...

Within science, the method of valuation is clear, demonstrate through the evidence to reasonably or definitively prove or disprove a claim. Within phi...

Being amoral is rare, nearly everyone has moral ideals, seeing that isn't hard. You are the one who said passivity, not hypocrisy, leads to complicity...
December 07, 2020 at 08:49
Passivity leads to complicity, you say? You have found a way to condemn swathes of innocent people for doing literally nothing with horrible crimes yo...

Isn't it just a possible result of what you're laying forth while what you're laying forth is not misanthropy. The only connection you offered was "ma...
December 06, 2020 at 17:34
I don't believe what you're describing bears any resemblance to misanthropy. You're seemingly unwilling to condemn even the guilty, let alone the enti...
