Nazis had send people to concentration camps based on their ethnicity, while communists did so based on class. That is the only difference and an insi...

Would you say the same about, for example, Hitler? :) What Marx proposed had led to gulags and murders of hundreds of million throughout the last cent...

Truly so. And, it seems, for Libertarians the prospect might be even worst, as they usually don't have the thumos to fight for what they believe it. T...

I know it is, I'm watching the Daily Wire, Dinesh D'souza and such. The problem, as I see it, is that the right fails to use effective means. Instead ...

About fighting Marxism being a losing battle. I am from Eastern Europe, I was born in Soviet-occupied territory, so I know that culture very well. And...

LOL :D

like what do you want, a history lesson? :D use google for that. ;)

Russian October revolution rings a bell? Basically replaced a stupid Czar with a blood-thirsty maniac Lenin, followed by Stalin.

Did it ever play out any other way? ;) whenever Marxists come to power, it always end in a totalitarian state and misery & concentrations camps for th...

Just know that their goal is to get political power, not "make things better". For that they are happy to split the society into classes and generate ...

whom? race hustlers? :)

And what do you think are correct representations?

Critical race theory, for example, teaches black kids that they would not be able to succeed in life because of their skin color, so don't even try, w...

It does seem that the current approach, i.e. for example, blaming current white people for slavery that they ended over 5 generations ago. Or blaming ...

Yes, you could say so. i.e. Marxist ideology that tells some problematic group that all their problems are because the other group is oppressing them ...

I am referring to lefists, who are promoting the victim-hood culture for their own political gain. who are splitting the society into oppressors vs op...

Depending at what cost. :) I believe all human qualities are build into us by evolution, therefor it served us well at some point. People are tibale b...

Such prediction is based on simple observation that people live way less than 200 years. What does it have to do with climate?

So what is the optimal level of greenhouse gases for our planet? do you agree that without knowing it, all the following thinking is futile?

Are climate models are more accurate than the weekly horoscopes? Can they predict anything even a month in advance? If not, why should we trust their ...

Easily, if they harm others, they go to jail and get butt-raped. :)

Well, by whining and ideological subversion. Romans had lots of slaves, who were not welcome into their religion. So Christians tailored their message...

Why? No, I mean I clearly see that you are operating from the point of view of "ethical = conflict avoidance, spare lives, etc." but why do you consid...

In that case you are taking "if you want to live in organized societies" as a priory. :) How those societies should be organized? Should you be good j...

So?...

I didn't go too deep into the history of this matter, but probably the UN did.

they all are based on the same idea, aren't they? ;) such as there might be lots of 'schools' of astrology.

I started from the point of view of philosophy of science, i.e. what is science? In brief, we have exact science, such as physics, chemistry, mathemat...

People like blaming natural disasters on someone, be it witches, jews or now folks driving SUVs. :) I carefully checked the science behind the so call...

Not sure how people can create morals by logic? It does seem they need a 'supreme being' to live, be it Jesus and God and Karl Marx and Lenin. Doesn't...

I would totally agree with you here, that all ethics are based on survival. Pretty much Nietzsche's idea that ones instincts take into account his cap...

Probably best example for this would be Nietzsche, who lived a rather miserable life himself, yet you feel tremendous energy and power coming from his...

Pretty much. Also that Jesus probably didn't do any miracles, etc. And all religious teaching are scientifically unprovable.

No, I would not take an advice seriously if it sounds like nonsense to me. ) But if I like the advice itself, I might ignore the fact that it comes fr...

Certainly not. ) I'm just making observations

In that case you get secular humanism. Basically Christianity without Christ. )

I would say they were unable to focus on the outcome, so they had to focus on the process. I.e. live a good and pious life, than God with reward with ...

Always great to see like-minded people! Not really sure about that. More likely people of the dark ages would study history and wonder, why present pe...

It does seem that we can learn only from our own experience. I was born in the soviet union, I clearly see what is going on. While those, who lived al...

The problem is in the imbalance of powers. If Christianity/secular humanism is tolerant towards Islam, Muslims would feel empowered to throw acid on g...

Truly so!

Pretty much Dawkins' argument was exactly that religion is factually incorrect. ;)

To be honest I didn't really understand it. )

I would say that people are build to overcome problems and once you present them with a society that does not have real problems, they would make up p...

Why not?

Why do you think it is objective?

Whether Afghans support Taliban is a very questionable proposition.

I would argue that scientific and moral truth are very much different things. Everybody can look at the earth's shadow on the moon and determine that ...

My 2 cents - there is no objective morality, but it might be beneficial for a society to act as if there is, since it makes people predictable, provid...

As explained above, logic seems to work well when you know all the relevant parameters, yet is pretty much useless when some of them are missing. Basi...
