QuoteCalm down, you're taking things awfully seriously. I think you have quite the audacity to accuse me of arguing dishonourably when you blatantly shrug off the proof I provide and distort my stance. I've already proven why the current system does not have merit. You're just mad that not everybody holds an intractable opinion like you. Most people live in the real work of compromise and marginalism. All you're really arguing is that you don't agree with the same values, not the level of proof. You're not fooling anybody with your ruse. If you want people to stop supporting philosophical values you disagree with, then convince them or move to Somalia. Honestly, you'll just disagree regardless. Fortunately, people aren't stupid and want to live functional lives. If you've got issues with that, don't complain to me.

"nine women are shot and killed by their husband or intimate partner every week in America..."

Yeah, what was that I just posted about Wason's Four-Card task?

Or as Stefan Molyneux would say, "Compared to what?"

Aren't guns more likely to prevent domestic violence by giving the victim a means to defend themselves?
No clue. But the dumbass who wrote this doesn't care for facts, which is why he cherrypicks gun violence, because when I kill you with a gun, it's so much worse than bashing your brains out with a baseball bat.

Good grief! This guy treats the KKK with more nuance than the TP!


No Sovereign but God. No King but Jesus. No Princess but Celestia.

Speaking of racism..

I'm sorry, but I stopped taking this one seriously once it got to Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain.

So not funding something is "suppressing" it?  Riiight, just like how not funding Stem Cell Research = banning it!

People who use the word "society". I'm sick of reading people say shit like "contributing to society", or "prostitution has a useful role in soceity."

The top comments are fucking stupid. Oil companies would still make money from electric cars. How do they think you charge them? With magic?

You turn a handle, which spins a gyro, which charges the battery?
You blow on the propeller?
You park in a really sunny space?

Or how about variations of "we are the state"? Where people speak of government like it is the rest of 'society', etc?
Or even worse, "you gotta go to jail to repay your debt to society" from the fucking Powerpuff Girls of all places.  Not sure if they were poking fun at things like that, so there you go, but then, a lot of people seem to think like that unironically so ugh.

To be fair, most of our power comes from coal, not oil, but even then, it just reeks of conspiracy mongering imho.

I'm referring to anyone who talks about socuety like a fucking physical, singulair object, and not ma random collection of people who happen to live with in an arbitrarily chosen geographic region of eachother. Like "you have to be a productive member of society". Or " WE must cone together to stop OUR government."

I especially hate it when people say citizen. Like law abiding citizen. What if I think the law us fucking stupid. What part of using a political designation to identify people with makes any fucking sense. Citizen is simply another word for subject, another way of saying your the govs bitch.
