That is an interesting perspective, I think you might be right. I was reading an article that described the battle between FOX and CNN led CNN to chan...
The bottom line is that no step in ending racism or systemic racism requires identity politics. Identity politics just distracts from the real issues ...
Well, I don't enjoy characterising groups, it's tedious. I don't like identity politics and I don't agree with violence. Racial histories, giving raci...
I watched a lecture like that, probably the same, done by Dr. Kanojia. I think when it comes to matters of identity and self-creation, there is nothin...
Your attitude is simple, mostly everyone is powerless and want the powerful to be kind, however, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely...
Yeah, a privately owned company has to make a profit but there's not much of a chance for shareholders caring about the ideals of journalism and democ...
In summary, doing what is best for yourself and others is in fact what is best for yourself and others. Well, the topic of OP is so huge that nothing ...
The right thing to do is what is best for yourself as well as what is best for your pals. Or what is good for yourself and not harmful to others or be...
I think that we can't avoid having the news media being involved in the democratic process and that's not something we want to avoid but I think it co...
The worst thing one can do philosophically speaking in my view is to view themselves through the lens of the immense. You become an ant this way, you ...
I don't like BLM to be clear, they engage in racial histories, identity politics, they want to institute laws with race-specific language, I don't agr...
If the state has an active role in discriminating against blacks then it's a race issue. I'd argue that "black on black crime" is an unhelpful framing...
Er, yeah, nvm about that, what I meant was that BLM is focusing on state-related offences, you made no mention of any "all lives matter" and idk what ...
I don't like BLM but your line of argumentation about this "why only black lives" is pretty weak. BLM is a group that is focused on how the state trea...
See, I would actually agree that that interpretation is nonsensical and the reason I can do that is because I didn't say "the disparities are necessar...
I'm not exactly sure how you've spent so much time arguing in this thread and others without being able to answer that question. It never stopped is t...
Am I? I don't think I have been very specific and my argument isn't very specific. Currently, the requirements to run for office are age, nationality ...
You bring up fallacy arguments so much lol. Most of your responses are really just you theorising about the ways in which you think my arguments might...
Universities don't try to ensure equal representation in their courses or of their lecturers in political persuasions, why wouldn't there be an imbala...
I think it isn't unreasonable to bring up establishment opposition to black civil rights leaders in comparison. Reagon/Bush "tough on crime" racist do...
The truth is that if the whole world went off meat, animals raised to be livestock absolutely cannot be released into the wild because it would destro...
1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s? You have no idea when police brutality against black-skinned Americans was last an unquestionable rea...
Err no, capitalism bad because uhh, capitalists and consumers being fattened up and slavery for our pleasure. Resources could run out in 5-10 years an...
Same as most moral issues, it's not about the end result, it's about how the prominent interpretations move us to action. Of course, people are less l...
You're living in a dream world, typical fairly land philosopher who has no understanding of the scientific, political, economic or practical side to t...
Would you be able to give a brief explanation of the last time period where you would agree that police in many areas across the US treated the races ...
No, the forum is not even close to a reflection of the world. The people it attracts are highly specific. I also think that making generalised forum t...
You assume much, I'm a nihilist/moral relativist and I think morality just comes down to human sensibilities and culture. Morality only exists because...
Not really, being human and morality is part of this, puts me in a place of experiencing and seeing things in a particular way, that while subjective,...
"My truth" is just a recognition that the way I perceive things which is true for me internally is not necessarily true externally. I see beauty, I se...
I understand your points and in a different world where people did not use truth in other contexts such as "things true to me" in any shape then I cou...
You can say you don't agree but it's been laid out plainly. Example. Person A thinks incest is immoral, Person B thinks it isn't. Person A thinks you ...
No, it's a matter of what kind of society we want to live in, you're focusing on the actual killing itself but I'm not. People see killing a cat or br...
Are you 100% sure it's in the best interests of livestock to not be eaten? That would mean not being born in the first place right? Depends on their l...
That's cool, I got it from other threads, I'm glad you let individuals have the opportunity to hang themselves. Do you think systemic racism is mainly...
It's probably more correct to say that you won't be helped by my help rather than saying you don't need it. That video does describe how to resolve th...
Before I would ask myself when an act of violence was justified I'd ask if it achieved its aim. After all, how can violence be justified if it's point...
Personally, a lot of the motivation to be moral is the recognition of how society functions best when I'm looking out for both my best interests and t...
I'm fine with that just haven't heard it put exactly as you have. It's not about saying you "objectively" deserve it, it's about saying this claim abo...
I'm not talking about consensus, you can read below for clarification. I don't see a need to "rid ourselves" of relativism and I'm not trying to do th...
