No answer, then? The evasion is only a sign that you do not want to answer, but I suspect it is to hide a contradiction. The dissonance you feel occur...

I didn’t say they should. I’ve never imposed any rules. Why do you think it is ok to give someone power based on their race and gender?
July 24, 2024 at 21:14
I am outraged that people are given power based on race and gender, yes. You’re not?
July 24, 2024 at 21:12
I have a conscience. What does yours say about giving people power on the basis of their race and gender?
July 24, 2024 at 21:10
You don’t care about a race and gender-based selection process in politics?
July 24, 2024 at 21:04
Someone remarked about the similarities between the upcoming DNC convention and the 1968 one. Back then Johnson backed out of the race, supposedly due...

For epistemology, sure, the knowledge of a thing requires process and relation. But being does not require our knowledge of it, and metaphysics is not...

I'm not sure. But we don't champion people because of their race and gender, and for the same reason we don't disparage them on the same grounds. Unli...

It's racist and sexist.

People should not be appointed to office based on their race and gender.

Identity politics isn’t progress; it’s a reversion to a time when identity mattered more than thoughts, actions, and behavior. It harkens back to the ...

I thought it was annoying when Harris' critics panned her as a "DEI hire" when they should perhaps focus on her horrible politics. But in trying to di...

Statism is collectivist. Not “collectivism is statist”. At least try to get it right.
July 23, 2024 at 18:45
I include on that your state collectivism, legal positivism, Keynesianism, activism. Your prevalence for organization is simply the manifestation of t...

I knew it. Power at all costs. That’s the guiding principle. Fascism 101.

I disagree with you as well.

Oh dear. Accusation in a mirror. All you can do is accuse others of that which you are guilty. No case in point because you can neither make a case or...

What we call “democracy” nowadays is dressed-up oligarchy, modelled on the Roman republic. There is a ruling class, not a body of free and sovereign p...

Better than your fascism. The only standards you have are double standards.

I’d love to see the range of your moral compass, if it isn’t just a fallacious and bad-faith sponge. Tell me what he did wrong, then.
July 19, 2024 at 16:07
I’m sorry I cannot really respond because my eyes gloss over as soon as I see your name, for some reason.
July 19, 2024 at 12:25
No, it sounds stupid. If people don’t want to vote for him, they shouldn’t vote for him. But they did. Nullifying people’s votes is anti-democratic.
July 19, 2024 at 12:16
That’s exactly what you lot said in 2016, and you were wrong. You were wrong then, and you are wrong now. Repeating the lies isn’t going to make them ...

I suspect they will cheat or assassinate or jail their opponent in Stalinist fashion.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at when you start speaking in questions. The NYT argued Biden should step aside because he might lose to Trump, not f...

It isn’t up to the New York Times who runs, is it?
