  • Places online can only be as interesting as the people behind it. This is why 4chan was the internet's main meme factory in 2010/20, which would eventually trickle down on the well known pattern of Reddit->9GAG->Facebook. Not only did it host the funny and original neurodivergent folks of the world, but the space was as close to free speech (and slurs were restricted too!) as I've ever seen online. What can, for example, the heavily propagandised American, scared of original thought and shamefully out of practice, produce as valuable speech online?

  • Not a Christian but... F* my wife/kids/loved ones, right? And I should just stand for immorality and violent threats? Turning the cheek is one thing (I've done it, or well, I didn't retaliate at least and the other person apologised profusely for their outburst), and anything that's underneath it, but anything else is neither reasonable nor part of the teachings of Jesus. I hope you're young, or else idk... Your thought process is extremely superficial and limited even in the superficiality.

  • Why would more people impede me to think ethically and care for my fellow human being? And what do you mean by direct accountability? If I do something mean I feel like shit because I am acting like a villain, shouldn't that be enough to keep me walking the straight and narrow? My peers would rightfully call me out on it and even abandon me if I didn't repent (because I'm a social danger who acts like a rabid dog), isn't that more than enough?

    I know in many places of the world this is not even a consideration, but that just shows us how far some of us have strayed.

  • Morality only, everything else fails and leads to people finding it easy to step over others, but the group should be humanity (at least until we meet aliens, if we ever do, and then it would be extended to personhood if the situation calls for it). Also, really? Christian thought? Christianity is a Roman religion which co-opted the Abrahamic faith and the image of Jesus, the rabbi. At least get the terms right, cause Christianity was always a con and only superficially pushed people to "fear God and keep His commandments"... the recognition of objective morality is much older!

    The reason why people in Gaza get together to have dinner in the middle of the rubble with their neighbours mid Israeli bomb run while people in... other places will turn to crime and immorality if their lives become the slightest bit uncomfortable. These people from... other places always seem so shocked that their leaders will invariably rob at the least, with rape and murder being very likely and expected, but y'all don't believe things can be truly wrong or right, so what are you complaining about here? Is this not the result of your post modern, literally Satanic "nothing is true, nothing is forbidden", 'ideology'?

    TLDR: without a shared ideology based around axiomatic moral values (a denial of moral relativism) you will remain uncivilised, just with better toys as time goes by.

  • Words are maps to the terrain of experience/the universe. But the problem with words is that they define strict categories (you can cope with this by establishing a spectrum and not binary things: "not as reasonable"/"sillier than X") and those who rely only on words and not their own eyes and reasoning will be confused and frustrated: reality was more complex, it required actual analysis and not just theorising based on others' words, A didn't lead to B because your premises only made sense semantically but not in reality.

  • Financial struggle/discomfort + no morality nor ideology besides "I gotta get the bag" = selling drugs or selling your body. There's no OF boom in Palestine and those people have it truly hard...
