Ignoring an advantage ? ignoring racism.

My own conclusion remains the same. The criticism of color-blindness remains unproven and unprovoked. The idea that one will ignore racism by refusing...

I’m just a layman and am relaying my own, admittedly limited knowledge, as conferred to me by everyone from public health officials, journalists and p...

I only said that they never mentioned how quickly the virus can circulate among the vaccinated, specifically as it pertains to vaccine certificates, w...

The belief that we could control a virus by controlling human beings is only the most recent mistake of man’s hubris.

Why do I always read your words with a snivelling, high-pitched tone? I haven’t heard anywhere that the virus can spread easily among the vaccinated, ...

Oh dear, the business owner cracking the whip on the backs of their voluntary slaves. Such entitled nonsense. There is much to be said about employmen...

I’m sure vaccination helps. From what the news tells me, those who are hospitalized with the disease are largely unvaccinated. What they never mention...

No slavery I know has at-will employment, where both employee and employer can terminate the relationship whenever they choose and for whatever reason...

CDC study shows three-fourths of people infected in Massachusetts covid-19 outbreak were vaccinated If the virus can spread easily among the vaccinate...

I can appreciate your faith in mankind. Insofar as the state represents the conversion of social power into state power, though, I see the state as a ...

The state can get away with evils you or I or a corporation or a church cannot. They can plunder your wealth, skim off every purchase, break into your...

I’ve only ever seen communists coerce, imprison, and kill members of their community. I wager you’d turn me into the stasi as soon as you could.

We don’t need the rich when good, compassionate people such as yourself are around. Or do we? At any rate, delegating such a responsibility to a facel...

The story is odd because in that moment the protagonist seems to ignore the present threats of the tiger and the fall in favor of eating a berry.

In my ideal world we’d help members of our community instead of delegating that responsibility to the state.

I do want Guantanamo closed down, the patriot act repealed, the CIA and FBI abolished, along with every other federal agency. What about you?

What if…? By slavery I mean the thirteenth amendment of the constitution, which reserved slavery and involuntary servitude for prisoners.

I don’t have the habit of identifying myself with specious classifications, and like Orwell, “placing it beyond good and evil and recognizing no other...

But if you don’t like the parameters, you can refuse to accept the terms or move elsewhere. They cannot force you to stay and work, and you are the ul...

We have to look to who has the monopoly on violence and coercion. That would be the state in nearly every case. No corporation or church can skim from...

If all you can do is concern yourself with your own suspicions, it says more about you than it does about me or my views. Some individuals are, sure, ...

For me it’s not about ignoring phenotypes—an impossibility unless one is blind—but about refusing to make assumptions from them. One cannot assume som...

Well put, Franky.

Big moves from Western states. Governments like France, UK, Germany are starting to institute vaccine certificates, discriminating and privileging on ...

A big difference is that incest can span all sexual preferences while homosexuality cannot. This is because incest isn’t a mere proclivity. It operate...

If you make one you’ll find out. Collectives cannot make goals. Each node within its boundaries has its own goal, and since each node is different, so...

But it involves a great deal more. It seems to me the rest should be included among what it is you are preventing. Again, when I look at what act or o...

All power is illegitimate until it can prove itself legitimate. When a father leads his child across a street his authority need not be questioned. Th...

I made this argument: “In order to prevent work and suffering one must prevent someone else’s or his own work and suffering. is preventing no one’s wo...

I get it, but I keep stumbling. I cannot conceive of living as work and suffering, in any case, but in order to prevent work and suffering one must pr...

I’m not ignoring future conditionals. I’m well aware that the opposite of your state of affairs is also possible, and have previously stated that, jus...

For me it does not follow that refusing to have a child prevents work and suffering any more than refusing to buy a car prevents a flat tire and buste...

Sorry, he was arrested for skipping bail. He is now facing extradition in the same cell. Now that’s a corrupt maneuver.

Assange is in jail for skipping bail. But that’s ok. You’re allowed to spread falsities. We make mistakes; we get the wrong information; we believe st...

Why is it stupid?

I like the idea that the unconscious is a kind of implicit consciousness. We are probably more conscious than we care to admit. In the driving example...

I would say that the person is abusing his dog instead of using his property, and I would stop him from doing so. To relegate a dog to the status of p...

I think the moral difference between a fully functioning human being and a corpse is quite profound. The physical differences and biology might not be...

Yeah, fair enough. I wasn’t trying to convince you of anything anyways. You asked, I thought I’d help. Cheers.

I’ve read the OP and replies and do not see how one can make the association. I’ve also read you in many threads on censorship and free speech pooh-po...

I just though you might wish to peruse some information on the topic. It’s all a rhetorical ploy and a language game about a fetish, anyways. Nothing ...

Why rise against something you yourself built?

A sheltered life must be nice. But even the biggest recluse can stay up on current events. https://www.hrw.org/report/2021/03/04/future-choices/charti...

Racism is a form of laziness insofar as a racist deduces from flimsy and superficial generalizations and does so without verification. Unfortunately, ...

Governments around the entire world have seized unprecedented control over the daily lives of their citizens. The restriction of movement, border clos...

I don’t get the question.

There are other countries in the world, and conservative, liberal and socialist politicians employed the same authoritarianism. The only place I can t...

When politicians and their health officials can shut down entire industries, control the free flow of information, and rule by decree, it necessarily ...

Corpses are much different than living bodies, biologically speaking, so no one needs to insert a mind into the equation in order to discern a differe...
