I think he knew it was wrong, morally speaking. But I think he believed it was right on utilitarian grounds. Only a utilitarian could eradicate lives ...

I think the will to destroy other human beings was paramount, not only because they knew such a thing would happen (they ran the tests), but because t...

Public opinion is awash with bad takes, so much so that it risks translating into violence beyond the shores of the present conflict. The inevitable c...

It is a curious thought and I admit my own shortcomings when reasoning with such vast sets of particulars in mind, but what is one way one might engag...

Collective and cooperative efforts on a global scale are impossible. One cannot coordinate and cooperate with 100 people at once, let alone 9 billion....

Society and government are two different concepts, representing two different sets of actors, and formed in two different ways: the former social, the...

The problem of determinism is that nothing else in the universe can be found to determine a person’s acts. If nothing else determines or wills a perso...

One of the worst judgements of humankind is that humans are not objects, that they are something other than, something over and above the thing itself...

It demands more effort and knowledge in regards to learning about and understanding the world. One cannot understand anything about a person by referr...

There would be a blindness to the statistics. Rightfully so, in my opinion. Race statistics are fruitless because the distinctions are arbitrary. It’s...

I’m complaining about it because there was a chance to build it years and years ago, long before the crisis got to the point we see today, but Biden e...

It looks like Biden is beginning to build Trump’s wall, citing the massive surge of illegals entering the country. He waived The Clean Air Act, Safe D...

It’s a simple matter of organizing our own thoughts. The only thing someone might have to ignore is the knee-jerk and lazy urge of social categorizati...

I’m talking about the concept, sure. But I don’t use it in the manner you use it, or in the manner I’ve been criticizing this whole time. I’ve explain...

I never use the concept at all. Give it a try sometime.

I propose we stop actualizing it. See these abstract, pseudoscientific concepts for what they are and abandon them in both thought and use.

You will predict based on skin colors who is likelier to be discriminated against based on their skin colors. At what point on the color spectrum does...

You look at someone’s skin color, and since someone who looks like him may have been subject to prejudice in the past, he is the subject of prejudice ...

I’ve never doubted that people have categorized human beings according to this false taxonomy.

One cannot determine who has or has not been subject to prejudice by perpetuating pseudoscience or noticing the color of someone’s epidermis, and one ...

Here’s why such statements are an admission of guilt rather than a statement of facts. Race is a so-called “social construct”. Race cannot show up in ...

He certainly had the qualities of a president, one who polishes the image of American interventionism and the military industrial complex. “Thanks for...

It’s a big blob moving as one, isn’t it?

Trump’s words and cadence and grammar (and spelling) lends itself to ridicule, and rightfully so. But giving speeches is the easy part. In fact I’m gl...

It’s just a jab at McCain which you construed as a jab at those who were captured. Why should anyone care?

In so doing he exposes his moral panic. The way he strings disparate words together in order to form this weird little narrative, which is apparently ...

You seem to be concerned about a few out-of-context words as reported by a disgruntled employee while dismissing everything else Trump has said about ...

How does one make the leap from John McCain to all veterans? He’s taking the piss out of one man in particular.

When those veterans are G. Bush and J. McCain. This written by Bush and mcCain’s chief propagandist. By the way, they didn’t die in war. Did Trump eve...

No he didn’t. He went on butt-hurt tirade, stringing a loose gathering of words Trump reportedly used in media reports without any reference to anythi...

He’s talking about John McCain, a warmonger, not “veterans”.

Those who were there and who went on record saying none of it happened.

At least neocon Goldberg can now admit who Trump called losers: John McCain and George Bush. Goldberg is one of their cheerleaders, famous for his pro...

Thank you.

Yup. My bad.

You’re right, I’m wrong. I apologize. I will ignore the statute, its genesis, and the precedent.

Well then I apologize for believing the provision had anything to do with the statute.

Are you willing to go on record saying that this provision has nothing to do with the statute?

Well, I’m sorry for reading the title of the statute.

And what statute is that a provision of?

Now quote the statute.

You’ll quote me saying otherwise, I’m sure.

It isn’t about witnesses, victims, informants at all, but according to a provision under that statute it is now a federal crime for pulling a fire ala...

18 U.S. Code § 1512 - Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant

Can you tell me why he’s being charged under that statute? And why pulling a fire alarm is now a federal crime?

Exactly right. So naturally one wonders why he’s being charged under these statutes. I am not a lawyer, so I don’t know.

The title of the statute, the reason the statute was brought into law, and the entire history of its use. But It wouldn’t hurt to look at the crimes t...

As far as you can tell isn’t very far, I suppose.

It’s the crime in his indictment. What am I misrepresenting?

It appears to be so. Ridiculous, isn’t it?
