Was there ever any doubt?
I myself like to argue things just to argue them. It’s a good way to find out if I’m right, or to learn thing I didn’t know, and correct my misunderstandings.
But I know that’s not everyone’s idea of a good time.
So you don’t want our opinions, do you? You just want people to agree with you.
His thoughts seem to be that they share almost no characteristics, no philosophical underpinnings, and that there seems to be no direct path from the one to the other.
What do you think a discussing of “proto-X” is going to look like, if not comparing it to other things looking for similarities and possible links?
On this, I think we can agree.
The one does not flow directly from the other. A better world requires some protecting from each other, which means giving up some freedoms. A system of complete and total freedom would not be good for most people.
However, as Franken said, it is important not to give up essential freedoms. What freedoms, exactly, count as “essential” ones? Hard to say. We should have a thread to discuss it.
No, it isn’t.
What does that have to do with my claim?
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but a lot of the trouble in the US was caused by people using their freedom to do terrible things to people, and to set the stage for more of the same.
Provided they don’t touch freedom to not breed, and we don’t put racist ducks in charge, I think that works be the easiest for me to bear.
But I don’t want kids, so it’s not much of a sacrifice.
I have specific interests.
I’m just there for the porn, these days. Any sort of meaningful interaction with people happens elsewhere.
Carefully trimmed sticker?
EDIT: Ah, I see you’ve handled it. Carry on, then.
Should be possible to just not plug them in.
But I have no idea why they are there in the first place.
I’m not suggesting that America before Trump was a paragon of virtue. But our corrupt leaders and wealthy oligarchs made America powerful to serve their own ends.
Trump is not serving the ends of American oligarchs. He’s serving the ends of Russian oligarchs.
it’s absolutely insane to conclude that Russia controls western governments.
Maybe not governments in general, but Trump and his party specifically, doesn’t seem too insane.
In that order.
Israel isn’t responsible for Trump remarkable attempts at destroying the US economy, USD, and the entirety of their softpower.
No, but they helped get him elected.
Not sure they did it on purpose, and it only affected the stupidest of Democrat voters, but any argument that the genocide in Palestine didn’t impact our election is not being honest.
Bloody Cardys can’t be trusted.
That’s why I specifically quoted that part, so if I was misunderstanding you, you could have corrected me.
On that basis, I think we are substantially in agreement.
I don’t think you can blame the prosecutors for doing their jobs (assuming they’re not breaking the rules in how they do it) under that system.
So, what did you mean by this?
This sort of thing is supposed to discourage the bots that reddit is plagued with.
