It's fascinating to me that people use the term 'Social Justice Warrior' as a derogatory appellation, because it assumes that caring about social just...

The irony is, is that Ayn Rand actually personally benefited from Bolshevik rule. She attended University for free (and as a Jewish woman she wouldn't...

...... Yeah dude, totally not racist, sexist, transphobic...

Dunno, I've only ever been educated in one country.
August 27, 2018 at 00:08
Corey Robin, in his fantastic work The Reactionary Mind, writes, "Saint Petersburg in revolt gave us Vladimir Nabokov, Isaiah Berlin, and Ayn Rand. Th...

obviously
August 26, 2018 at 23:31
Ultimately it seems like you will never agree with any tactic or idea the Left has, unless it moves to the Right. So it's just circular nonsense. I'm ...
August 26, 2018 at 22:40
what are you talking about? You said the Left lacks critical self-defense, despite the introspection and self-critique the Left went through after Tru...
August 26, 2018 at 22:14
The Right elected Donald-fucking-Trump, the physical embodiment of the white, male Id, and yet some how it's the Left that are an "intellectual laughi...
August 26, 2018 at 17:22
It's extremely curious to me that you think lack of self-reflection and self-criticism is, currently, an exclusive issue for the Left, particularly af...

If that's what counts as the height of moral integrity within the Republican party, than it only goes to show how utterly vile the party is, and how o...

Mostly dislike Country, but I do love John Prine. I think @"ArguingWAristotleTiff" would like it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XLaIFTmJF8
August 26, 2018 at 02:59
I've never understood why this clip has been celebrated. McCain simply states that Obama is a decent, family man, and a "citizen", instead of counteri...

Seems there is a bit of a correlation between inactivity in the lounge and its exile from the main page.
August 25, 2018 at 05:08
We are talking about homicides committed by convicted undocumented immigrants divided by total undocumented immigrants who have been charged with a cr...
August 24, 2018 at 19:49
If it is far less statistically likely for an undocumented immigrant to commit homicide, relative to an American citizen, then it follows that the par...
August 24, 2018 at 02:11
A woman is far more likely to be murdered by a citizen, in particular a SO, rather than an undocumented immigrant. Obviously, it isn't possible to det...
August 24, 2018 at 01:14
Surely this has become increasingly true in the last six years
August 23, 2018 at 01:41
wow what a good day
August 21, 2018 at 21:30
I used to, as a simple comment search will show, but since you mainly post unphilosophical bullshit, then yeah, I'll treat you like a bull.
August 20, 2018 at 21:52
The thing is, mocking those who have been historically mocked, discriminated against, exploited etc. just isn't that funny. And I don't see much evide...
August 20, 2018 at 21:52
Check out Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum's work on the Capability Approach. Specifically, Sen's Development as Freedom and The Idea of Justice, and N...
August 20, 2018 at 21:41
Yeah like those damned totalitarian Norwegian states.
August 20, 2018 at 21:40
You know what the CPC does with "competing sides", right?
August 19, 2018 at 04:30
Yeah that would make it easier
August 18, 2018 at 19:22
Oh I see now
August 18, 2018 at 19:22
is that a site feature here?
August 18, 2018 at 19:21
That's an understandable point, but finding say, the shout box or the Donald Trump thread, etc. via mobile is fairly torturous
August 18, 2018 at 19:16
She is very proactive with the media - who didn't pay much attention to her before she won a primary two months ago and are now demanding they attend ...
August 18, 2018 at 18:58
Death penalty is idiotic.
August 18, 2018 at 18:30
I'm not sure I follow the reasoning behind "hiding" certain threads from the main page of the site.
August 18, 2018 at 18:27
The media is criticizing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for excluding them from two otherwise public town-hall meetings during which immigrants, victims of ...
August 18, 2018 at 18:26
Sure. But it's a better starting point than assuming the claim is made under parental influence.
August 18, 2018 at 01:52
Adults should listen to the concerns children have about themselves, including depression, gender identity, etc.
August 17, 2018 at 22:54
Where did the Donald Trump thread go?
August 17, 2018 at 18:26
Derivatives amplified the effects, but they certainly were not the sole cause of the financial crisis.
August 17, 2018 at 14:50
To be fair, Clinton did sign the repeal of Glass-Steagall, declaring it "no longer appropriate".
August 17, 2018 at 03:25
Voter restrictions are also anti-black, insofar as they predominantly affect black communities
August 15, 2018 at 20:40
You know what he's doing to non-white immigrants, right?
August 15, 2018 at 20:34
I saw a recent poll showing that 1/5 of Trump supporters dislike him personally, but still view his policies positively. I have fairly little doubt th...
August 15, 2018 at 20:34
:cool:
August 15, 2018 at 20:25
@"StreetlightX" any books about Time that you would recommend? Anything general would be great, but also specific to a Marxist interpretation would be...
August 15, 2018 at 13:32
Oh, I thought you literally meant that Trump said the N-word during the election. On the contrary, for a disturbing amount of Americans, there is a co...
August 15, 2018 at 03:33
Actually, I believe it was Nate Silver that said that if the pussy-grabbing revelation was switched with Comey's Clinton email probe announcement, a C...
August 14, 2018 at 23:00
Was it? I don't recall that. At least nothing recorded, yeah? The pussy-grabbing comment did shift perception, somewhat.
August 14, 2018 at 22:57
If revealed as true, I wonder how many Trump supporters will finally realize he is a racist, vs. say that if black people can say it why can't whites
August 14, 2018 at 21:17
I remember being on vacation on a beach in California with family when this happened.
August 14, 2018 at 21:15
lol that's hilarious
August 12, 2018 at 21:32
Sorry Tiff, I'm flawless
August 12, 2018 at 20:47
Lol I'm literally watching food videos on Youtube, and one is with a famous pizza maker in Brooklyn. It's making me so hungry :joke:
