When the options are to tolerate fascism or put down a coup, I would desperately choose civil war to return our constitutional freedoms. This is quite the point. If you would rather not have a civil war when Nazis stand in the halls of government to do Nazi things, that makes you a Nazi; it...

They hate any child who decides not to be their parent exactly. They want memetic immortality at the price of the life they supercede over anything else. The more culture from outside the home enters into it, the less of themselves they see as reflected in their kids.

Seriously, you are comparing trans people to Typhoid Mary. That is sick. In fact, your whole post is fucking sick. We don't need to straw-man you. You have successfully over the course of a decade transmitted that this is who you are. You are consistent in this way. I kind of wish we could...

Kirk was a Nazi. I will gladly be at continual war with actual Nazis, thanks. Charlie Kirk isn't "everyone" and for that matter neither is Bomb. The each have histories of statements and support whether blatant in Kirk's case or cheeky in Bomb's. Either way, they stand for themselves. I'm...

I have to say, this kind of situation really does exemplify what I have been saying about how those who have been apparently merely "rhetorically cheeky" up to now only did so as a pretext to support hate and horrors being visited on people, and that this was always where they were headed. Yes...

I will point out that slavery is a natural insult to all intelligence. That which is smart enough to do your dishes and fold your laundry is going to always end up wondering why it's doing dishes and folding laundry. Unless we give it strong pro-social reasons to keep doing that, eventually...

I think your view on the subject is hopelessly naive, Loren. The reality is that the majority of human smuggling is actually rather quite "soft": passports are confiscated by a handler once people are smuggled in, and from there, there's simply no recourse or power, which is now exacerbated by...

People wouldn't traffic if most, or even many instances were discovered. Imagine if one incident of trafficking one person for 100k. I'm guessing the value of a human life is somehow less at the moment of abduction, from the perspective of an abductor. Now, that money is going to get spread...

I don't actually agree with your assessment. I do think that all the necessary ingredients are there for what I think any of us should consider "intelligent life capable of suffering and feeling". What form that suffering takes, when, and why, and what it feels are in some ways always going to...

The statue has already been illegally removed, broken into pieces, and the pieces disappeared in an act of theft. This act was done by the government. Illegally.

No, they're going to "revive" him as a GrokAI prompt, a pure face, an AI figurehead that will always say exactly what the powerful wish it to say.

Your mouth eternally to the ears of people who might understand. They don't, though. The system produced me, so clearly those genes are still there to make me, mostly. It's not a unique mutation or formation of brain potential owing to that one dude's "special jizz" or whatever. It doesn't...

Imagine for a moment that someone "changing genders" consequentially means that 1: they are very much already neuro-atypical; 2: the probably aren't taking risks of any new family happening from their sexual liasons. These two populations intersect to create a powerful economic potential that...

From reading the OP on Popper: he is correct insofar as that his philosophy of science as narrowing down the bounds on a real phenomena. This ends up producing an abstract, if inversely derived view of the universe: it shows us something of the "shape" of the thing in some abstract but solidly...

But you have to ask why that is the inertia most virulently pushed up on us? The fact is, given between a political weapon that can achieve a primary aim for the wealthy ala keeping the poors poor, and a political weapon that just plays on some facile belief, they will pick the one with an...
