Fair explanation, thank you. The move will definitely raise standards and hopefully end the harassment that was regnant there.

I fully respect the mods decisions. But the “deciding factor” was your personal annoyance. I’m genuinely curious to see if this is a standard moving f...

I respect the decision. RIP thread. But are all threads and posts at risk of your personal annoyance and baser nature? I just wish to know which kinds...

This is a lengthy and revealing article about the Biden administrations efforts in Ukraine during the war, but notably during the last days they were ...

A revealing read about America’s clandestine efforts and activities in Ukraine, a proxy war, flirting with all-out nuclear war. Millions deceased. God...

The only sovereign the leaders of Canada swear an oath to is the King of England, his heirs and his successors. Canada is Crown Land. That’s why all t...

The only way they can pull it off, as far as I can see, is if they do massive cuts to taxes, regulation, and spending to offset the cost of the tariff...

The Fair Trade concept is definitely interventionist, but according to them it’s aimed to produce the conditions for free trade. It’s like the paradox...

I think that's a reasonable assessment, ssu. Trump's plan is a huge gamble and I'm prepared either way. Personally, I rather like the trade war so far...

I don’t know, but Aristotle considered barbarians to be natural slaves, and natural slaves are a necessary component of the polis. But that wouldn’t c...

Unlike you I never said one way or another, like when you said the FBI was going to collapse. I’m fully aware that Trump’ and Musk’s policies are a ma...

I don’t know what causes one to engage in political violence against innocent people and their property. I am unable to project myself into that state...

I just watched another news story of an unhinged Tesla terrorist casing an owner’s house in the dead of night and slashing every tire. This is the fir...

Speaking of brain-farts, “annexing” is the incorrect term and a conspiracy theory. The proper term in English is “cession”. American offers to buy Gre...

It might be illegal to you and some Obama-appointed district judge, but not to the Appeals court. And unlike every agency in American history, the off...

It doesn’t matter if the funds had been approved by Congress, and certainly no one in Congress approved of waste and fraud. It is the executive branch...

If you had read the article you’d have a better understanding, because Goldberg describes his thoughts. He’s the same guy who lied about the suckers a...

He was mistakenly invited and stayed, silently, eavesdropping, long past the time he realized he was not supposed to be there. The reason you’re fine ...

Now you’re speaking my language. Do you remember the work? I always found Habermas too difficult to read and never got into him. But your summary here...
March 28, 2025 at 18:30
Good read. Thank you for writing it. The topic of "masculinity" or "femininity" is always difficult for me because I'm not good at thinking collective...

He hung out in the conversation, watched with prying eyes, without notifying anyone of the mistake for many days. That’s secretive. He then published ...
March 28, 2025 at 17:57
Good work. Much to chew on here. It’s interesting to note that to Aristotle (if I remember correctly), any man who was without the polis was either a ...
March 28, 2025 at 17:52
Very interesting, I wasn’t not aware of Habermas’ thoughts on the matter. Thank you. I like your thinking here. Personally, I believe the political an...
March 28, 2025 at 17:49
Sure, but I was more curious as to what you believe. Is it a civilian? A city-dweller? Who or what possesses the qualities Aristotle sees?
March 28, 2025 at 16:58
I think Aristotle has an archetype in mind, and am wondering what that archetype may have looked like. Part master, part slave, maybe?
March 28, 2025 at 16:46
You’re correct, but since Aristotle I think we’ve come to find that there is no such thing as a natural slave, that they are all slaves by “convention...

I know, I cited it in the OP. Also Hobbes. Also Aquinas. But I was hoping to start a discussion, not a reading.

The interesting thing about the interview I watched was the chasm between certain portrayals and that which presents itself to my own eyes and ears. I...

Maybe in Anti-Trumpistan. But outside it’s gossip and scandal-mongering, and worse, malicious sabotage.
March 27, 2025 at 14:42
It’s true, Waltz or his staffer screwed up. I don’t deny that. But in terms of fuck-ups, it’s a tiny one. Big deal. On to the next outrage.
March 27, 2025 at 14:31
It’s guess it’s a shame he could only leak a successful military operation, and not something that would make the administration look terrible. In the...
March 27, 2025 at 14:20
That the source of your ire is a never-ending list of counterfactuals that you guys can pull out at will makes it look pretty silly, to be honest. Oh,...

I still do. He was spying. Then if you’re going to make such an accusation, quote one of them or describe how one of these three were disrespecting th...

Fair enough, but these people are all former military. Unlike Lloyd Austin, Blinken, and Milley and their efforts in Afghanistan, leading to the death...
March 26, 2025 at 21:39
None of that happened though, and I doubt this sort of leak or the use of the Signal app will continue given these concerns.
March 26, 2025 at 21:15
But his embellishments about war plans and lies about CIA operatives do.
March 26, 2025 at 21:09
Thanks for the correction. But unlike you I’m not appealing to the authority, only the humor of the statement. No, I’m willing to believe it, now that...

This is such a stupid take. Hillary Clinton sent classified information through her private email server, and she was found to have destroyed much of ...

Clearly you read it. Why did you deliberately leave the rest out? “Of course I didn’t see this loser in the group. It looked like someone else. Whethe...

I don’t consider the words of Jeffry Goldberg to be evidence. All he provided was two screenshots, and none of them shows any invite. And given his hi...

Waltz is telling colleagues that he has never met or talked to Goldberg, according to Fox News. Yet Goldberg is saying Waltz added him. If you've ever...

How did an anti-Trump “journalist” find himself on the Signal app, and leak the details of what was obviously a sensitive conversation? Smells to me l...
