The freedom to vote trumps the freedom to choose…I don’t even know what that means. I was saying people can now vote for the legislation they want in ...
It’s just a messaging tactic! The proposals don’t actually matter because they won’t get through Congress. Why do Harris supporters love messaging, an...
Vance already showed his family off with his wife giving an amazing speech, putting to bed your little race fantasy once again. As for abortion, now p...
Free speech also entails letting people curate and manage their own platforms, even if they resort to censorship. Though censorship is anti-philosophy...
Just another supercut of the media coalescing around DNC rumors and reporting it. https://twitter.com/kylenabecker/status/1827173323098226721?s=46&t=I...
I suspect Europe, as the crucible of the worst ideologies, will have more of an issue than over here and much quicker. Same with what’s left of the co...
True enough. But the fracturing of these parties and the subsequent realignment is very interesting to watch. Who knows what will become of them over ...
It’s been that way for a while. It’s the establishment vs. the outsiders. Many warmongering neoconservatives like Bill Kristol, David Frum, Michael St...
Biden’s inner-circle worked to conceal his decline, according to the WaPo editorial board. But in their obsequious adulation for Biden’s wisdom in ste...
You didn’t watch “White Dudes for Harris”? The only things missing are the white pillowcases. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/30/...
Nicely put, thank you. I'm curious what this "structure" is, and more, what it really amounts to. I've been told of "tribal structures", "social struc...
I think you’re right. Under those stipulations one cannot justify self-defence. But it also reveals how counterintuitive pacifism is. It is the sort o...
Well, the House GOP finally released their impeachment report regarding Joe Briben and his crime family, outlining several impeachable offenses. It’s ...
I guess it depends one what kind of societies we’re talking about. A common trick is to conflate a state or nation as a society. I just don’t know how...
Maybe you could give me an example of “a structure of relations”, then? Maybe a picture of one that is not “atomized individuals”? You cannot because ...
I wager the association between you and your friends, should you have them, is non-hierarchical, as is much of the association between you and the oth...
I know what a hierarchy is. My contention is that political and power-based ones are not natural. But you have to bring up vague associations like “hu...
Still, if less and less workers put money into the fund, and more and more recipients seek to benefit from it, exhaustion of the fund is inevitable. T...
I don’t know why people in a city would want to support a Hunter/gatherer lifestyle. All I’m saying is groups of people living anywhere needn’t impose...
I was addressing your point that it would “be reckless to pass it because it would exhaust the SS trust fund sooner”. How does taxing your social secu...
It makes no sense to me. The money in the fund has already been confiscated as taxes, for example, via payroll taxes, and added to the fund. That is m...
In politics and government the hierarchy is artificial and conventional, not natural. So this type of hierarchy is not inevitable or born of necessity...
I like the idea, personally. I’m against all taxes. I also think it is fundamentally absurd to tax money that has already been collected as taxes. So ...
Executive orders are interesting. I don’t think they’re so transient when it comes to the institution of government itself. They can direct the execut...
Their record. If given power, what will they do? Harris has been vice president for the past three years and I can not name one thing she has done, fo...
If I had wanted a reply I would have quoted you. But the topic was a good one, however naive and obsequious the opinion of it was. For future referenc...
Ideas come into being at the moment of expression, and persist as long as the expression does. It’s why we often write them down or record them if we ...
We should obey because we do not want to get harassed, kidnapped, or killed by others. So we do our best: shuffle along in the hopes that every move, ...
The Trump campaign was hacked and the data given to the press, but they won’t report it because publishing emails is now verboten for them. Are you al...
They’ve been doing it their whole lives. No doubt they’re good at it, if branding is your principle upon which to judge. With an army of campaigners a...
No, don’t be fooled, communism is not cooperatives and more democracy. These little tales are what they tell you to trick you into giving up your free...
