The House has formalized the impeachment inquiry into Biden’s corruption. The First Crackhead indicted on 9 federal tax crimes. No little posts, news ...

Naturally, I’m in the retributive justice camp myself.

That sounds like a lot of work. Rather, the conviction that I ought not to take another's things is enough to refrain me from doing so. The law, on th...

Yes, the acquisitions and transfers need to be just in order for the distribution to be just. Taxation is not a just acquisition or transfer.

So dictates the law. Reason dictates otherwise.

Neither side offers freedom. It’s a tug of war between two competing elements of Republicanism, who act as praetorian guards to the system of control ...

I’m not sure why people find affiliation with others based on vague notions of ideology and where they put themselves on a linear spectrum. There is e...

When the Left abandoned its defense of freedom it turned Right, conservative, and reactionary. Now you can’t slide a piece of paper between the two si...

So long as they are just in their transfers there is no reason to prevent someone from becoming wealthy. To do so would be to engage in the unjust tra...

Looks like signs of delusion to me.

It should be easy for you to explain why I’m on it. You told me you saw a pattern.

Sure, I’d love to see your argument.

This whole time you haven’t once revealed how words are more than their form. And your rhetoric is powerless. You try to tell me what to do but it has...

Neither do you but you keep referring to "us". In that case the "us" will be you and me. Still, no chord being struck here. You haven't referred to th...

The word does not strike a chord, nor can any other abstraction you can put forward. You won’t tell me which “us” you’re referring to, proving to me i...

I never said words do not matter. I think Trump’s words do matter, and that is why I am defending his right to say them, and from any attempt to suppr...

If by “strikes primal chords” you mean you get a little tingly sensation whenever you hear a first-person plural or first-person possessives, without ...

This merits its own consideration: Why do you keep saying “our democracy”? Why not just say “democracy”? We know the answer: this trite phrase is poli...

Your round-about way of defending censorship pushed you into maintaining a position you have been unable to defend. You clearly didn’t know what the c...

In 2017 Democrat in Congress begged Biden not to certify the election based on conspiracy theories. It’s called politics, and I don’t recall anyone ra...

If you can read you should be fine. If you want me to clarify, don’t be afraid to ask. One minute we’re talking about words, next we’re talking about ...

I think everything should be legal.

They are. And you have to supply them with meaning and significance. They have neither. In linguistics it is called “arbitrariness”. You gave me three...

Me too. Very subtle movements, perhaps tiny, inaudible but articulated expressions.

Then you should be able to show me this “more to words”, or point to any word in your lexicon of thoughts. But you won’t. It goes to show how you rely...

At least they won’t be lonely.

It sounds like you’re in a higher state of evolution. Or lower, depending on how you look at it.

So you hear your own voice. Interesting. Perhaps my malady is the reason I can refuse to overestimate the power of words. It explains a lot, really.

Metaphor is an overrated crutch. Used too often it comes to replace the truth. No need to apologize.

Is there a little narration going on up there? What does it sound like?

This is writing, not talking. I’m writing to you. Such a simple mistake that it’s no wonder your grasp on this and other topics is lacking. Does the v...

There are no voices in my head, no. Do you?

Words are independent of thought. It’s the reason we can’t understand a language simply by reading it or hearing someone speak it. Scratches on paper,...

I’d love for you to show me where these words are.

It usually leads to threats against the speaker. History shows that the censor is immoral and irresponsible in moving to censor speech he doesn’t like...

I don’t think in words. The metaphor is absurd to me. Do you think in words? Well, where are they? You’re right. But there are people willing to act o...

No, it reveals that you like sales. What you don’t mention is all the sales and all the ads that do not influence you. But that you pick and choose ma...

I suppose that reveals more about you than the power of the words.

Are you the type that buys a product when you see an ad for it?

Words have power because I like defending Trump. Words have power because I object. Words have power because I insist. There is a gap of hot air betwe...

The substance of what you said was pure wind. I don't care what Engeron describes. I don't care what the unjust court says. Their arguments are hokum....

Your use of the word “attack” indicates your belief that his criticism is somehow aggressive and violent. But this specious rhetoric only serves to di...

Words are dangerous, the censor’s bird call and the tyrant’s bird brain. That’s what these gags are about. As usual, it’s Trump’s fault they are getti...

I’m not sure how that proves you’re not perceiving the world. If you weren’t perceiving the world you wouldn’t hear the alarm clock. Even so, if you’r...

If we weren’t perceiving in our sleep we wouldn’t wake up when our alarm went off. Our senses have evolved to wake us even in the deepest sleep. At an...

I mentioned a few reasons why we’d keep believing in the existence of the world. For one, we never stop perceiving it. But also, there is no reason to...

The idea that we can stop perceiving the world is a troubling one, but remains at the core of anti-realism. It suggests that at some point a person ca...

The metaphysics of it all is quite clear: the individual is the basis. The principium individuationis is everything. Each of them occupies her own uni...

You omitted the fact that no one was found with bombs at the riot. So the "real threat" was in fact not real. When protesters stormed the police barri...

They were fired upon for passing through a barricade erected by police, and for moving toward the capitol during an official proceeding.This justifies...
