    Musk's American Party: A threat or a promise?

    I guess Elon decided to focus on time travel rather than Mars colonization and sent you back to the Biden era. In this timeline, Dogemaster Musk has burned every bridge with the left.

    Where Have All The Good Times Gone?

    We have good reasons for judging human behavior differently from animal behavior. We dont presume to be in a position to comment on what its like to be a lion. Humans wiping out entire other natural habitats one by one is not cool. Not in itself. Not to observe from a zen detached distance...

    Supreme Court rules in favor of anti-porn law

    Speed limits and signs give people a sense of the de facto acceptable window for speed,. Theres places all over here with 45 mph limits where people keep it to around 50 - but loads would be doing 60+ if it was entirely up to their own judgement. Its a heck of lot better than no signs, no...

    Some things that the humans do are not very cool. Creating pointless suffering for other beings comes to mind.

    Communism- Socialism

    None of that tells me what is this socialist form of government. What I see instead are countries that have chosen, at least on paper, a commitment to a socialist economic scheme. Obviously getting there is a political goal. But its not indicative of a specific form of government.

    Communism- Socialism

    Very interesting analysis. It almost seems like fascism is a more spiritually coercive form of monarchy - enabled by the tools of modern propaganda and surveillance.

    But I didnt endure too much from 9-11. I wasnt there. I didnt go fight in Afgh afterward - nor did my friends. Airport security got tougher tho. So I guess I suffered.

    All I have to do is think about the people walking away from the site with a lungful of concrete dust just to die of cancer a few years later and that ruins the "cool".

    Communism- Socialism

    North Korea is essentially a monarchy. What else would we call a hereditary absolutism?

    Where Have All The Good Times Gone?

    Its a whole big discussion and I dont want to get into it. I just needed to chime in because someone had a very common misconception about how the responsibility side of the issue should be framed..... a misconception thats often relied on to invalidate the reparations idea right off the bat.

    Who says it should just be giving out money? Maybe thats a good policy, maybe not. I just chimed in to dispel this idea that reparations is about applying guilt to specific individuals, ethnicities, or locales.
