I hear what you're saying, but the problem with just not talking with other political actors is that they are out there, in positions of power, and of...
Disagreement and polarization are not the same thing. To become polarized means to become entrenched within a political position. It has a veritable r...
The consensus-based decision-making model is not quite what I'm trying to get at here, but, I will say that, within a genuine participatory democracy,...
Well, I'm all for pluralism, but that "polarization clarifies things" runs directly contrary to the general sentiment of this post, which you have cla...
In so far that Philosophy is a process of cultivating a way of life, how far beyond the political does it really extend? I think that, in the text, Ma...
I've just posted this thread and another about the text by Karl Marx which includes the statement, "Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, ...
Engaging in the pathology of what recorded version of the play, Hamlet, is "objectively" the best for long enough never to want to think along such li...
To be fair, most of her work relates to the Mexican Mafia, as well as that she's on the Church Committee, which I am hoping to be put somehow into eff...
Apologies for the double-post, but, to explicate further: Trigger Warning: Brief mention of domestic violence. Let's say that there is a coalition of ...
I like that Lorde quote, but you're not actually, like, reading what I'm saying. I'm well aware of the history of the ban. Again, though, that's just ...
I meant that the incentives towards authoritarian behavior should be removed and not that authoritarians should be systematically eliminated. The stru...
Eh, I have some, but not too many qualms with Marx. I think in the Soviet Union, it was pretty clear that the most culpable party was Josef Stalin. Vl...
That'd be something, but they don't really want Philosophy majors. Anyways, I'm leaving this forum to prepare for the semester, anyways, so, see you a...
Well, I mean, like, the Anarchist movement isn't really funded by George Soros. There could be such a movement without that kind of funding. I'm only ...
This is incredible. I can't believe that you created all of this. I don't know that I will read it in its entirety, but I'll probably leaf through it ...
I voted "no", but, though I do more or less adhere to a kind of strict nonviolence, think that there could be particular cases where violence can be j...
Everything and nothing. I feel like, after years of independent research or whatever, I just don't really agree with anything anymore. I have some vag...
Well, I appreciate the sympathy, but I haven't even applied for a graduate program as of yet or anything. I have two years of a Liberal Arts degree co...
I'll keep that in mind in the future, but I feel like people couldn't really understand what it is that I mean about all of this. I'm not the sort of ...
Like I said, that solution is only given a revolutionary scenario, though contemporary prisons ought to be reformed into being something like, anyways...
I've read a good bit of Nietzsche, but don't quite remember that bit. I might have to read that again if you remember where it's from. My theory about...
In so far that there is some sort of revolution or something, I actually have a plan for this. It's kind of nebulous as what I'm suggesting are basica...
Well, looking at my prospect right now, the best job that I could take, but wouldn't, because I suspect for it to be as exploitative and terrible as h...
Well, thank you NOS4A2. Machiavelli was, I think, bit, but not too much more culpable than Nietzsche, who wasn't terribly, but sort of culpable. "Mach...
I have no interest in hard science or Mathematics, though. I could develop an interest in something like Anthropology or Film Theory, but those are ju...
I'm not the author of this original post, but, I, too, am in need of advice. I'm going for a Bachelor's in Philosophy because I just don't have any ot...
Why, though? The coordinated grassroots Democratic Socialists of America campaign in favor of Bernie Sanders was the last political campaign that I be...
Well, I did drop out of Politics, and, so, though, perhaps, conceding that there was nothing that I could do, did consider for my departure to be for ...
I actually have a conspiracy about this. Donald J. Trump, star of the show, The Apprentice was led into his position of power by the Central Intellige...
In Race: the Power of an Illusion, they point out that there is greater genetic variance between two identical fruit flies than there is between two p...
I only take them seriously enough. My point was just that if you upset the people who you had wanted to like because you discover that there's still k...
Is this video Nihilist? Also, it depends upon you define Nihilism. If it refers to the belief that the human experience is ultimately negative, then, ...
Liberalism is fine, but I am still confused as to why you believe the way towards liberty is to ally yourself with Conservatives, especially when you ...
Eh, it's part paranoia, part because I came to suspect that they had wanted me for something, and part because of that, because of the aforementioned ...
Well, writing a homework assignment isn't evil. The argument isn't just about pain and suffering; it moreso refers to evil. If God exists and she is o...
Seeing that the film school that I was going to closed, I decided to go back to the university for my undergrad after taking some classes at community...
Oh, I understand what you and @"Pfhorrest" were saying, but, I really think that Camus ascribed a kind of philosophical pessimism that was almost akin...
Paleolibertarianism is kind of just a form of Conservatism. I suspect that they claim to be Libertarians for the sole purpose of seeming more liberal-...
That's pretty cool of the United Kingdom. I feel like I've given the UK too much guff in the past. Socrates only believed that he was wise because he ...
There's a difference between the accusation of "statism" and Stalinism. I don't think people who want things like universal healthcare are, at all, gu...
I agree with what you suggest about your own philosophy, by my interpretation of Camus is that he was saying that life was "useless and hopeless", but...
Yeah, but the boulder rolls back down the mountain. I feel like Albert Camus was suggesting that Sisyphus was right to rebel against the Absurd, as, a...
I do dislike coercion. I believe that the freedom from coercion should be invoked as a primary right of sorts that should be a fundamental aspect of P...
Eh, perhaps, I was being too critical. The respect for life is laudable, though, since I'm pro-choice, I don't really like how the discourse gets carr...
Hold on, let me get my glasses here, as someone has finally decided to explain this to me. That is quite helpful. Thank you! I guess that I'll have to...
I don't know, there's just something that seems so totalizing about that to me. As if even every thought were some sort of political battle. In Introd...
To be honest, I haven't really put too much thought into questions like "Who will direct the traffic, and so, and so on?" Libertarianism slowly became...
