Should have touched on this. Why aren't things like deplatforming, institutional subterfuge, and counter protest legitimate moves again? If you and yo...

I love the antifa super soldiers meme, and will use it whenever I can. You're making the antifa out of straw here. What they actually do is counterpro...

It's less about calling everyone you disagree with a Nazi, and more about seeing threats to democracy and social justice. Let's indulge a far right, b...

Axioms are relatively fragile compared to the things which usually get declared as a-priori. You can chop and change them, replace them as you like, a...

I don't know where you got that conclusion from in thread. The topic's slid from left propagandising liberals *cough* I mean reasoned debate with them...

:up:

Stop burning effigies like you're not made of fire.

Reviews should summarise everything relevant that goes on. I don't care if it was a joke.

I forgot you because I've not read your exchanges with Vagabond. I'll put it in my post. :)

We're a bunch of leftists and a couple of centrists disagreeing about what politics is, and what actions are relevant to it. There are a few sub conve...

To speak a butterfly is to reap the whirlwind The stories in the paper Are the stories in the street Not welcome in the news Makes each person that yo...

Meaning slides (and transforms) over the analogue but sticks to the signposts (which contrast) in the discrete. That distinction between transformatio...

It's like Ulysses with finer thematic units. Finer as in the elements of significance for interpretation are more densely distributed over the words w...

And then the person in Whale 5 is 'Crackshanks'!??!, awesome.

That's cool. The development of the theme (well, more a superposition of themes with overlapping content as in train of thought) is pretty clear over ...

Can you post the written version please?

That makes sense. The first two lines came naturally to me, the other pairs aped their structure to make progressive components. The format was suppos...

Alliteration and rhyming skills still very limited, I've never found ways to express transformation that iterates over the words, I can only use them ...

You have some stupid antifa. Then you have the ones, the majority, that counter protest violent nationalists. They are called antifa because they try ...

You're highlighting something that happens a lot on the forum, but ironically not in real life. Once you've mastered Heidegger's jargon and have an ov...

I like to imagine Scruton having his ideas about sex and gender identity while watching carp in a stately pond. But yes, less carp, more empathy, more...

'Somber blankness' will hopefully eventually turn into 'blankness' without the negative affect. Otherwise known as an untroubled mind. I'm not there y...

Regardless, whether the idea came from Husserl or Heidegger, Heidegger still thunk it.

I've never seriously studied Husserl. So pretty much all I 'know' about Husserl is Heidegger's straw Husserl.

The easiest response is to assert fallibilism, that we can know things without the certainty of their truth.

That seems clear enough to me, thanks.

Eh, sort of. I enjoy playing the ironic distancing game about political discourse too. Though I do it while pretending to be a leftist. Sometimes I ho...

This is precisely why political discourse is so impossible nowadays, all these bloody centrists exaggerating and underplaying the potential of every s...

Dude. I know that the popular right in the US aren't Nazis. What did I say that gave you the impression that I thought they were?

i try to kiss the face behind your words with each sentence i sit and beg for the tactile echo of each emote i hope like pavlov mouth wet in anticipat...

I think you're missing lots of nuance here, actually. There can be really big differences in severity and relevance of the narrative, especially the s...

That's exactly what I meant.

Evidence for that?

It's definitely a feature of his worldview, not a bug. If the reasons for people turning right were evidence based we'd be in a lot more trouble. You ...

I don't deny that he believes in what he says. What I'm trying to say is that how his message propagates isn't really to do with its truth, it's to do...

Yeah that's true. Think we're at a size where we can make it worth their while?

Everyone wants super high quality near-publishable content, but no one ever has the time to produce it.

I definitely agree with this. If someone actually demonstrates good faith, they deserve responses in good faith. This is a benefit of a long form disc...

If we set the bar higher, we wouldn't attract as many good members. But we've got the bar set high enough that we keep people who make high quality po...

Stahp.

I should probably say though, the suspicions I raised in the previous post aren't always appropriate. The forum here, for example, is exactly the kind...

I know this is definitely an exegetical thread, but I wanted to chime in because of how wrong this conception is. That's reasonably intuitive from the...

Aye.

Honestly? You don't. Social media has great potential to allow international organisation. You also have to recognise that people who are actually on ...

I say this as a person who spends far too much of their time on the internet, but I say it with conviction. The commodification of discourse comes alo...

Story's really self demonstrating. The part about people not showing themselves despite telling their story really resonates with me. Some of that see...

I wouldn't quite go that far, he's surely looked at lots of reports. It's just that the design for their collation and verification will never allow y...
