I do disagree with that because it is unfair to deny people access to tutoring because you believe they do not need it. it is also unfair to the lesse...

I’ve already stated my problems with state control. Its tendency to fail is just another problem with state control. I think the only hole I’ve dug my...

That’s just false. The failure of state control is no refutation of the existence of state control. First a no true Scotsman then a non sequitor. It’s...

I never said that. No, I’m speaking of the one you fell for.

It’s like the no true Scotsman fallacy. The trick to refuting my examples of state control is to assert that it is not true state control.

Countless prisons have had massive outbreaks, so I’m not sure a “true example of state control” would help any. I don’t think that it is unfair so lon...

It’s the opposite. Treating people differently isn’t fair.

I’m not sure how “I see nothing political in it” means “political distinctions don’t exist”, but doublethink is rife in clownworld. What’s left but to...

That’s a lie. I never denied political distinctions didn’t exist. I was merely stating that all political distinctions employ Covid fascism, and your ...

Your help is not required. Your political distinctions are meaningless here, but you cannot help to evoke them, for whatever reason. I’m not sure how ...

What problem do you have with it?

I see nothing political in it. Reactionary right and left wing politicians have brought upon us this Covid fascism. There’s no escape into blame-games...

Seeking for happiness is a dead-end, anyways, just like nihilism. Seeking for an incline in the decline is a fools’ errand. I found that it is better ...

All this science on your side and look how well you’ve done. Mass death, the denial of fundamental liberties, medical discrimination, huge transfers o...

That’s right, you can only imagine. Perhaps those that require a politician to tell them how to protect themselves are the problem to begin with.

Vaxxed, masked, boostered, locked-down…the pandemic continues. The epicenter, once again, is Europe. What will be the new state boondoggle? For Austri...

I think that’s what Russell was getting at. But is it true? I don’t know if naive realism leads automatically to physics or some form of atomism. I wo...

I don’t know why I called it “Russell’s stone”. I mean the stone that Russell was speaking about in this quote. Bertrand Russell, An Inquiry into Mean...

I’ve always wondered how one would observe the effects of Russell’s stone without observing the stone. It seems to me “observing the effects” says mor...

It is clear the language and technology has advanced, but it is not clear that man himself has evolved any further beyond man in Aristotle's time. We ...

A great read. Thanks. It is largely a problem of identity and self-hood, I think. I say this because the belief that one is not his body, but only a l...

The article was The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity, by Carlo Cipolla I wouldn’t apply Cipolla’s classifications to human beings because they are unjust...

It’s either true or false. That’s enough of a difference for me.

Censure doesn’t involve removing people from committees. This particular resolution includes both the censure and removal in two different parts, but ...

That’s the effect of their blind, censorial rage. Censure requires no compulsory action.

I like that. Either way, it is worthy of a laugh, just as it is with the Kathy Griffen thing, as you pointed out.

Censure has zero effect beyond political finger-wagging, anyways. So, along with the press and woke social media CEOs, congress will make a big show o...

An anime meme is grounds for violence and revolution, apparently. But it might be better for all involved to stick to memes, that is if they could mak...

If they’re so weak-minded it should be easy for someone such as yourself to change them.

It would be worse than that. This was just a fake cartoon that was obviously not supposed to be taken literally. They took it literally, alright. Him ...

Imagine if Gosar held up an AOC or horse mask with blood dripping from it.

AOC was once depicted as a superhero in a comic book and I bet she thought she could fly after reading it. It’s nonsense; one has to wonder how they c...

Seeing a cartoon Gosar running along roof-tops with his samurai sword, and the impending attack on a cartoon giant with AOC’s face superimposed on it,...

Nope. Your purely mental taxonomies apply to your mental furniture only, and not to any actual flesh and blood individuals, the vast majority of whom ...

Fight what? I’m already not a part of any collective. No one is. The error is in believing you are a part of anything of the sort.

Right. The stories we tell ourselves. Of course, you would never voluntarily pay more or less than is required, and will dutifully pay whatever the po...

Thanks. I should add that you get to watch as the federal government steals your children’s wealth and labor to fund its boondoggles.

A so-called “infrastructure bill” was signed into law yesterday in yet another obscene transfer of wealth and power. https://twitter.com/kamalaharris/...

Australia is one of the world’s biggest importers of American weaponry, though apparently it would rather use its force to govern its own citizenry th...

No, I had no such reservations. I just like pointing out that Biden’s campaign was a lie. But it’s true; the sooner the world learns to defend itself ...

The Biden they voted for Question: Given the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi and Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the civil war in Yemen, what changes, ...

Simply because it is better, at least against “proportional representation”, in my opinion. The repression of other parties is not the repression of f...

The principle of laissez-faire was never realized in the first place, I’m afraid, especially in economic affairs. One of the first pieces of legislati...

You’re the one supporting state confiscation of wealth, not me.

I would prefer to defend myself or pay for a service that defends my rights and property, instead of funding an agency that defends the interests of a...

Musk’s wealth exists largely in Tesla stocks, that is, on paper only. He lives off borrowed money. So the question arises, why should he pay income ta...

I’m not sure how that is possible in a progressive tax system. The tax-rate increases the higher the income bracket. Like I said, people do not know w...

My argument was not that FEMA doesn’t help—it’s their job, after all, one that they’re not very good at—but that giving the state wealth and power cou...

FEMA is not the greatest example. It has gone through more reforms due to its failing responses than it has had successes.

It doesn’t work like that. All we can be sure of is that they’ll take our money, they’ll spend it, but we don’t know whether it’s “helping others” or ...
