The right does have it's issues and contradictions, which definitely should be highlighted. But I see all the cultural wars originating from the Left....

I have nothing against the "old way". It's not perfect, but it's reliable. I have no problem calling it "just business". Leftism is more of an orienta...

Nobody is denying that collectivism and egalitarianism aren't viable concepts, it is how they are prioritized and the level of commitment to realizing...
November 05, 2023 at 19:51
The problem here involves a socio-political orientation that is wrought with contradictions. Namely that it criticizes western civilization for being ...

You are right, it is all about election politics, nothing more. Support Israel, and your campaign will never want for lack of funds. It is all part of...

Ever hear of AIPAC?
November 05, 2023 at 06:34
I believe they gave us the proto-codpiece
November 05, 2023 at 05:34
These are people who have a strong commitment to collectivism and egalitarianism. In recent times, the left has taken on an adversarial disposition to...
November 05, 2023 at 05:09
As if many on the left do not seek some egalitarian utopia by means of conquering the "status quo" through violent revolution. It is inevitable that i...
November 05, 2023 at 04:08
The contradiction is heinous. Good luck getting any leftist symp to reconcile any of it. Instead, expect that they will misapply your logic and pin th...
November 05, 2023 at 03:15
That is a possible certainty. I'm willing to entertain the idea that Hamas is directly funded and operated by a secret branch of the Israeli governmen...

Unfortunately, nations always have adversaries, and war is the state of nature for all nations whether they want it or not. The cost of war also inclu...

sure, just abandon your argument. I don't blame you though...you make no sense, and your position is mired in contradiction.
October 30, 2023 at 20:24
Sure, and your acting like a Nazi pretending like antisemitism and the oppression of women and LGBTQ's is justified in cases where alleged war crimes ...

It's peculiar that the west, the very culture that invented "social progress", the only culture in history that has achieved any relevant sustaining s...

It all reveals the moral hypocrisy of leftists. They spend all their time complaining about the evils of a hetero-normative patriarchy in the west, bu...

And what is not THAT, always regurgitated? I love it.

Always be sure to include a graph or two that highlight the reality of it all. https://i-6uf0utvje8gy-cdn.plushcontent.com/uploads/resized/files/ws/w7...

It is real when the greatest philosophers of all time provide links https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/video/RuqVGk5I https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.10...
October 23, 2023 at 05:31
real question: is there any ethic palestinian with Israeli citizenship with a prominent opininion on the matter? I think such person might hold weight...
October 23, 2023 at 05:20
From the propaganda I've read, Palestinians make up a significant portion of Israeli citizenship. If all true, then there is no possible dispute about...

I am so proud of everyone here showing their support for the preservation of "all other books/sources". Bravo :cheer:
October 21, 2023 at 11:18
You are wrong. "Explaining why anyone was wrong" is a requirement for every post you make on tpf. And the more political and divisive your reason for ...
October 21, 2023 at 11:04
How is it racist? It is a fact that Israel is more progressive and less oppressive than Iran and Hamas. Just look at how they treat gays. These hamas ...
October 21, 2023 at 03:08
I think it would be something like: Unfortunately, this is an impossibility...complete fantasy. The genie is out of the bottle and nothing can stop wh...
October 15, 2023 at 00:46
It is not about cruelty. It's about conquest - demonstrating their superiority by imposing their dominance. They cannot exterminate the inferior demog...
October 11, 2023 at 21:03
nevertheless, there is no apologizing for the actions of hamas. Let's not discount the possibility of antisemetic semites.
October 09, 2023 at 09:59
it's genius. Eliminate racism by discriminating on the basis of race. And if you don't participate in racial discrimination in order to end racism, yo...

For all those who get easy and affordable access to food and energy. Why did its rapid improvement stop after 1970? It can be atttibuted to the fact t...

it would be better if it was the last supper with trump edited in as Judas
October 04, 2023 at 02:44
Solid breakdown. Important to distinguish these things. The nation is definitely the base unit for state and ideology. Nation is one's people. A perso...

have you ever noticed that a lot of atheists are anti-communist?
October 03, 2023 at 22:48
I think some of the principles of the left are invaluable to humanity as a whole, and even more to the individual in particular. (Add: ironically, Jes...

Socialism doesn't lead to mass murder. In an overwhelming number of cases, every time communism has been implemented on a large scale, it resulted in ...
October 03, 2023 at 22:27
We could say the same about classical monarchy, autocratic dictatorships, imperial dynasties, &c. This is getting into the epistemological territory o...
October 03, 2023 at 22:10
That is another point of communist confusion. Because it is materialistic at heart, the loftiest entity that a communist can recognize is the State. A...

Marxism was always meant to be put into action. Maoism is the Chinese version, like Leninism was the Russian version. Neo-Marxism is the western europ...

Actually, capitalism prefers that people are well nourished because a full belly is much more productive and better for the bottom line. Apparently th...

Don't insult dogshit! I would take dogshit over activist scholarship every time.

It is important to understand how critical thought (like crt) differs from traditional critical thinking. Critical Theory (or critical thought) is a v...

Weird that it could have been engineered by the "right". I was under the impression that it originated in the field of critical legal studies, present...

That is a complex issue. Consuming less implies a lower standard of living for many people, and a lower standard of living would be a hard sell to mos...

The woke position on the concept of race is undeniably based on crt proper. It may not appear so on the surface (which may be a strategy to assume pla...
September 30, 2023 at 01:12
CRT is an archetypal slave morality. Anybody that knows about its roots with derrick bell, who was heavily influenced by the Frankfurt School, can cle...
September 29, 2023 at 22:58
"In history" you say, that is quite an absurd exaggeration. The ccp is accelerating it as well. And unchallenged, since they have no opposition from a...

But look at the data, its science! There are many reasons to deny. And many more.
September 24, 2023 at 04:39
I suppose that would include the historically accumulated data that is used to predict the future trajectory of climate change. It's all a red herring...

World history is always relevant to today's world, in one way or another. And 1870 isn't far off, the 13-15th amendments are active at this very time....
September 23, 2023 at 07:52
Republicans, for all their faults, were instrumental in the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments. I don't know about you, but I think that w...
