But this is about being drawn to follow someone, right? If you saw John Malkovich (the "overrated sack of shit" -- Being John Malkovich) in Con Air, y...

It always baffles me who the right-wing find charismatic. Hitler, Putin, Berlusconi, Trump. Or even the right of the left-wing (Blair). All these so-c...

You know that political philosophy is a thing, right? We cannot "listen to other's points and arguments, and logically think through them " about poli...

Terrific wilful missing of the point, full marks for that. Not a milligram of intellectual rigour or shame to you, I see.

Yes. But the BLM protesters sought police reform because they were victimised by the police. The marginalised underclass that supports Trump is an eco...

No. You can probably find social analogies, but coercive control is underhand destabilisation of someone's complete autonomy and individuality. It is ...

Why the hell would you NOT take it personally? That has often been the case, and the world these past few years has frequently taunted me for it. But ...

Actually, you have. First, you and people like you are an offense to all decent people. Racism is not a religion or an economic philosophy. It's harm ...

:rofl: and :up:

To be exact, I don't *have* to, I just *want* to. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT9uAqQCUr-U8U1vbXPThvvKkk-c9rHF_Rzuw&usqp=CAU ...

Alas, no slip. Just a racist piece of crap being racist.

Poverty is the parent of crime. Aristotle. One doesn't need to study African American crime to see this. Even in countries with a very small percentag...

phew! :rofl:

I think even without him thinking it through that far ahead, he's one of a surprisingly small number of police officers defending the senate from an o...

Yeah we've heard all this racist bs a million times. I don't even think *you* think you're being clever, it's more like a mindless vocal tick. BLM is ...

I'll respond with shameless inconsistency to avoid addressing your points.

Not sure I have the stomach for it, but I guess I'll get the gist from others. It's awful that the left-wing media supported the BLM protests but cond...

Then there's no problem. Oh yeah, I forgot... Nazis and the Klan aren't violent.

If a fascist punches me, I'll punch him back. So yeah I can.

Actually, yes, there is. Questioning your beliefs is important. Only an idiot would arrive at one idea without justification and run with it forever. ...

A lack of anything. Everything lacks something. My dog lacks a tail.

Yes, it must grate that people out there in some position of power believe that black lives matter, and are willing to show it. If there had been evid...

Yes, you do. It's been explained to you often enough.

This is always the right-wing fallacy: an implicit and utterly dishonest definition of 'the people' or 'the public'. Trump is utterly bemused by 50% o...

The shame of this is that you'll never understand why that's hilarious.

The converse is certainly true. It always baffles me that right-wingers use the phrases "left-wing" and "communist" as if I'm supposed to be offended ...

Economic liberty is generally counted within the right wing, personal liberty within the left. I voted 'somewhat limited liberty in this', by which I ...

And as we've already agreed, Antifa is not a reformist organisation. They are not trying to ban anything.

Agreed, and I think what concerns me more than Trump, who might just have been an anomalous evil blip, is the trajectory of Republican leadership, fro...

I'm guessing there's no point pointing out that a) an election not going your way is not comparable to your friends and family and neighbours being mu...

Two months late but point of fact: Dawkins refutes the ontological argument in precisely this way in The God Delusion. Now I am needed elsewhere. Hero...

So now you're back to saying the ideal of anti-fascism (which is the point in hand) is to drive fascism underground. The right will just say anything,...

It's difficult not to ascribe this to wilful misunderstanding to ill defend a bad point. We were discussing the judgment of the act, not the act itsel...

:rofl: All good, meant lightly.

Right, so this will leave no-one to express fascist ideas. And that's the extent to which anti-fascism censors fascism. No one is invading Klan meetin...

I meant once the kid was born. Happy to agree that we judge the father before the fact too, based on his intent. That's consistent with the four core ...

I was talking about the decision to not have a child with a high risk of a debilitating disease. I would wager in such a case that the instinct is qui...

If you know you are incapable of the act, then it is logically impossible to intend to do it, yes. Intent is teleological.

Right, but it isn't an instinct: it's a rational decision based on abstract information, not an automatic reaction to instantaneous environmental stim...

Is that what you think the aims of anti-fascism are? Just to drive fascism underground?

Read the context or shush.

If you genuinely can't see the difference between a peaceful sit-down protest for immigration policy reform and a mob attacking police, smashing windo...

Do you mean e.g. having an abortion if your child is very likely to have a debilitating disease? The consequences for the child are not real referents...

What is the logical conclusion of anti-fascism?

Some people dislike it because it's 'playing God', some because it might lead to a form of genetic cleansing, but I think mostly we're supposed to lov...

That's been debunked. He could never get a girlfriend.

Seconded.

Like Biden said, what the President says matters. Just seen that Trump's Twitter account is now locked.

Whether I am or not makes no difference. It's your argument that being anti-fascist is a violation of freedom of expression on the grounds that anti-f...
