I’m not fond of speaking in such groups and groupthink, but I am capable of it. At any rate, I do not believe such groups have moralities or a collect...

Those texts really throw the insurrection theory out the window. It’s kind of weird they’re making a big deal of it.

One can show prejudice against any category of people, of whatever status. This category of people in particular, for whatever reason, do not want the...

The morality of any group of individuals in society is the morality of any group of individuals in society, but not of society itself. By stating the ...

The mandates I speak of are official orders from governments. These orders require private establishments to enforce discriminatory government policy,...

Those who engage in your "crimes against society" are also a part of society. So, in truth, what is being proposed here is a far more ruinous crime, n...

In the hands of a stupid government the principle gives us a stupid policy. When a fully vaccinated but infected man shows up at a establishment with ...

My point is the vaccine mandates are stupid if the vaccinated can spread the disease. The point of the mandates is to segregate the vaccinated and unv...

In many countries, states, provinces, there are mandates that require businesses to prohibit unvaccinated people from certain establishments.

The federal and state vaccine mandates prohibit the unvaccinated from working or entering certain establishments. Is there such a mandate for the infe...

In many places the requirement to enter an establishment is a vaccination pass, not a covid test. So how do the rules prohibit the infected from enter...

It’s not a cold, though, it’s SARS-CoV-2. Even the asymptomatic can spread the disease. The rules permit that a person infected with this disease can ...

How does a government “slow the spread” if those with colds are given a pass to congregate?

I know. It was sarcasm.

None of what he says contradicts the Reuters article, that "most of the 43 COVID-19 cases caused by the Omicron variant identified in the United State...

I wonder if they’ll segregate the vaccinated, just to keep us safe. We need to slow the spread. Most reported U.S. Omicron cases have hit the fully va...

Inverted or turnkey totalitarianism in a nutshell.

I reserve my right to speak in dysphemism, especially when it comes to matters of injustice and tyranny. These kids didn’t go to the internment camp o...

Humans should colonize mars. Until such a landscape is explored and studied we can never know either way, and colonization will be the first step to p...

They tested negative. They contained exactly zero SARS-CoV-2. What they did contain were innocent, healthy children.

Hey, I can take it. So fair enough. But since it only applies to me you must forgive me for disregarding the remarks about my consistency.

I don’t think it’s very useful. To me it has a confusing grammar. “Quale” is a noun, so it becomes a subject and we apply predicates to it, without it...

I already mentioned why they were interred, and none of it mentioned any gas chambers.

Consistent fallacy doesn’t do much to convince me, unfortunately. Perhaps a better tactic is in order.

I wrote: “The authorities had initially rounded them up and interned them, it appears, for the non-crime of being in contact with covid-positive peopl...

Trump and an appeal to hypocrisy… I’m not surprised.

White House quietly tries to reshape economic coverage https://t.co/s3tNP28Lae https://twitter.com/oliverdarcy/status/1468064220843425796?s=21 That’s ...

That’s true about Americans, as far as I can see. I would go on and on about collectivism mostly because it is immoral. It is premised on compulsory c...

https://twitter.com/breaking911/status/1468674520902946819?s=21 Note the collectivist reasoning. “Sometimes you have to do things that are unpopular” ...

That’s the only excuse one should need to provide, as far as self-ownership is concerned. Anything else presupposes a slavish relationship between ind...

We’re limping into year three of Covid fascism and Germany is now working to ghettoize the unvaccinated as cases and deaths rise in the country. Far f...

What a job they’ve done already. Their systems failed at each and every step, yet they still present themselves as the solution. We’re coming up on ye...

It would have taken less time to say why it is right. Once again you’ve taught me nothing.

It looks like zen and stoicism taught you a lot.

There is no point in bringing up speed zones and other false analogies, nor quibbling about terms, unless this is an exercise in casuistry. I am sayin...

The government is forcing businesses with the threat of fine. The edict is the imposition. There is no “allowing” involved here.

That’s not the case. Where I live, if the business doesn’t enforce the government edicts, it is subject to fine. No individual gets to decide on any o...

The problems aren’t the radical or extremist views, but the acts committed in their name. So it isn’t clear to me why we would mitigate the view and n...

I would argue the concept mind is not equivalent to the brain but to the entire body. No other entity, least of all parts of that entity, engage in an...

It seems to me that we were promised something that they are unable to deliver. Given the denial of rights and other sacrifices the tax-payer has to m...

It’s a good cheap shot, in my opinion. But the Dunning-Kruger effect applies as much to the competent as it does to the incompetent.

I like Kant’s idea of enlightenment: http://www.columbia.edu/acis/ets/CCREAD/etscc/kant.html Though it's more applicable to his time, in some sense it...

I’m talking about what one should or should not do. Indirect democracy can do no better than to legitimize authority and give a man or party the right...

Only the state gets to legislate. In the absence of referendum the “people” have had no say in any of it. As for rights, in my view no right shall be ...

But what if the overwhelming majority who do not kill or injure others? What do they give rise to? Positive rights confer a duty to act upon another p...

I would not propose any government solution beyond the ones I have always stipulated: the protection of human rights. As for dealing with the potentia...
