  • I would argue that's a corollary, not a discovery. It's corollary to a subjective belief that life has value—one that I agree with, but that is by no means innately or objectively true.

  • Objective morality implies that morals are not invented or created but discovered. Whence do these discovered morals come? How can one test a moral theory and arrive at an answer as to its objective veracity? What is the scientific unit of goodness?

  • implying "the covid years" are over

  • There's a very simple answer to your question that it seems like you're almost deliberately avoiding: native Hawaiians.

  • 'Associated with [by outsiders]' is a wholly different animal than 'part of [according to members]'. That's literally the point of the conversation we're having.

  • Scotty's crew was two people and one of them died; he was the sole survivor. His method has a 50% fatality rate.

  • I'm hardly missing your point, I just think it's ridiculous. Purporting that something is associated with another culture, even if untrue, can certainly be offensive. It's like watermelon and fried chicken for Black people. Would you claim that is inoffensive?

  • Are you asking how engaging in stereotype is disrespectful?

  • But this isn't celebrating Hawaiian culture because coconut bras and grass skirts are not Hawaiian culture, lol

  • Not really. Democrats are willing to censure and investigate their own party members—maybe even too willing. Ask Al Franken.

  • We don't hear about it because we don't report our own attacks, lol. China reports on US cyberattacks fairly regularly.

  • Racism is an action word. If you do a racism, you're a racist.

  • Uhh, have you heard of starlight tours? Residential schools? The Nazi they literally had a standing ovation for in parliament the other week?

  • Hey, bud..? Do you think they fuck their lightsabers..?

  • India has an ongoing communist insurgency and the furthest left politician we can elect in America is notorious strikebreaker Joe Biden. I don't think we have anything we can teach them about leftism.

  • Conflating Israel and Jewishness is antisemitic, especially when Israel is abusive to Jewish populations they don't like, like the mizrahim and the Beta Israel.

  • While I agree with you, you must recognize this is also true of almost every nation. Native American rights remain a universally ignored issue in American discourse, for example.

  • Capitalism. You mean capitalism. Biden is still subsidizing oil and endorsing the construction of new wells. Voting blue won't save you.
