It is true that a certain level of well-being is required to enjoy autonomy, and there is a strong moral argument that we should care for the well-bei...

Thanks for the read. I’m curious why you would replace “freedom” with “welfare” when the root word of “liberalism” suggests one but not the other. It ...

The Washington Post Tried To Memory-Hole Kamala Harris' Bad Joke About Inmates Begging for Food and Water No wonder it’s readers believe the way they ...

This is so good. Can Someone Please Open the Door?

This is awesome. I wonder how the Biden media will play this now that Antifa opposes them. https://youtu.be/eXSTEn5hE80

Biden broke his own mask mandate on the first day. Rules for thee but not for me. Get used to it. https://www.newsweek.com/joe-biden-mask-mandate-linc...

We’ve been told for days to suspect violent outbursts in the capitols of all states, and that this is the reason for Joe Xiden’s inauguration, which l...

That figures.

Frank’s snivelling has only increased.

It has nothing to do with Trump. Health mandates are left to the states for a reason.
January 21, 2021 at 17:17
Terrible move. America’s downfall is occurring at a frightening pace.
January 21, 2021 at 17:09
It’s a joke, idiot. Keep your panties dry.
January 21, 2021 at 16:57
Damn. 4000 died of covid on Biden’s first day. That’s more than 911.
January 21, 2021 at 16:51
It’s a perverted idea of justice you have there. What you describe is persecution, the very reason for the 4th amendment.
January 20, 2021 at 22:40
What crimes?
January 20, 2021 at 22:13
Justice for what, Tim?
January 20, 2021 at 22:07
I'm curious as to how you will go about signalling your virtue.
January 20, 2021 at 22:05
Well, I think the idea that Trump should be impeached and persecuted after he has already left office is a good indication of what I am speaking of. H...

I’m not claiming your for or against this or that model, nor am I making any assumptions about your ethos. My only claim is that if there was no disag...

I agree with the notion of "open dialogue". I disagree that "open dialogue" should entail consensus and unity. That, to me, always leads to "closed di...
January 20, 2021 at 19:09
What is the contradiction? My point is that politics requires some sort of dialectic in order to be considered politics. This is debatable depending o...
January 20, 2021 at 18:56
Nicely said. Censoring political opponents and always seeking political consensus is a process of diminishing returns. Above all, one should be a plur...

Our Virtual President Like his hairline, his teeth, his military career, and his campaign, Biden’s inauguration was a virtual one.
January 20, 2021 at 18:13
Trump’s reign is officially over. But will the anti-Trumpism persist? What will the hysterical masses do without the winds of Trump directing their mo...

I would feel the same way if they were hoarding limited resources, but not necessarily for wealth, which is what I thought we were writing about.

Still waiting on this huge uprising. The seer ssu keeps promising me more violence. Or, like everyone else, he was duped. https://twitter.com/abc/stat...

If it occurs through mutual contract I can respect it. If it is stolen my blood boils. What do you think about it?
January 19, 2021 at 17:17
Rioters stormed Trump’s inauguration. Imagine the optics had he employed American soldiers to maintain law and order in the nation’s capitol. We don’t...
January 18, 2021 at 20:50
If it was a choice there would be no punishment for refusing to do it. A better phrase might be “collective coercion”. No I don’t believe in theft, wh...

There are now more soldiers protecting Biden’s virtual inauguration than there are in Iraq and Afghanistan—and this for the most popular candidate of ...

The myth is that the government should supply safety nets, and not the community. Nanny-statists prefer government safety nets because it absolves the...

Politicians have and will contest the election results and express doubt about the winner, as is their right. Elizabeth Warren, Hilary Clinton, Al Gor...

"Criminal negligence" is completely irrelevant. It is not mentioned in any articles of impeachment. The article of impeachment is "incitement of insur...
January 16, 2021 at 18:53
It’s not irrelevant according to the constitution of the United States of America. Representatives swore an oath to support and defend the constitutio...

I’m not going to bother asking for the specifics on how one is able to compel another adult to criminal action by speaking of peaceful action. What I ...

If Trump is to blame for the expressions and acts of others, who should I blame for the expressions and actions of ssu? I’d love to know who possesses...
January 15, 2021 at 20:00
Your “false pretense” test for incitement is a made up one. His words do not rise to the level of incitement in American law, and are in fact complete...

And in Sudan girls can marry at age 10. That doesn't mean it is right or that these girls' rights are not violated. No one is saying that Congress can...

It would be nice if they applied their arbitrary standards to everyone. But convicting opponents of that which they are themselves guilty seems to be ...

It's not a violation of anything save for the whims and fantasies of the opposition. They might as well impeach him for being a shade of orange. The c...

His speech is not considered incitement by any American law, state or otherwise. So why would they keep claiming that he incited violence? Same thing ...
January 14, 2021 at 18:39
I would go so far to argue that it is no longer leftist. It is raw, naked authoritarianism, and it affects leftists too. It is more reactionary than l...
January 14, 2021 at 18:24
I never equated the impeachment with a criminal trial, only with a show trial in a kangaroo court. I understand how impeachment works. My point is tha...
January 14, 2021 at 18:08
I do agree that routine censorship and the violation of rights might lead to violence, especially in a country like the United States. The premise I d...
January 14, 2021 at 17:35
Crystal clear. Thanks again.
January 14, 2021 at 01:20
Thanks for the clarification. But why wouldn’t the hypothesis apply to those running the simulation?
