  • she called the invasion illegal, and the only extent to which your comment is correct, cornel west agrees with that.

  • Stein says that Russia had no other choice but to invade Ukraine and commit genocide there, and Cornel West has a similar position I believe.

    neither of them said this. your comment is straight misinformation.

  • I expect to have 4 names on my ballot.

  • I'm not worried about p2025, if that's what you mean.

  • The government doesn't fund the heritage foundation. Facebook doesn't find the heritage foundation. Google doesn't fund the heritage foundation. who is it that you think funds the heritage foundation?

  • I think you understand the problem of the unknowableness of the effects of our actions, and subsequently how absurd it is to use that as a basis of our morality.

    I'm not trying to get you to vote for trump, I'm trying to get you to choose a useful moral framework.

  • pretty sure biden was president when roe v wade was overturned, so i don't see how giving him power again would help the women you're mentioning. also pretty sure biden has been helping oversee the oppression of the working class from dc for about 50 years, so i am not exactly convinced he's going to do anything about it if he literally can't lose any more elections.

  • a deontological system places the morality in the action itself, so you know before you do it whether its the right thing to do. ontological systems change the morality of the action depending on the results in the future.

    what if we need trump to be elected in order to escape earth before the sun goes nova? it's an unknowable proposition, but are you willing to risk all of humanity on voting for biden?

  • to be clear, you acknowledge that you can't know which actions are moral under your system, but you still rely on it to make moral actions?

  • I’m a utilitarian if you couldn’t tell.

    oh my. how do you deal with the fact that the future is unknowable, so the morality of all actions is also unknowable?

  • I continue to wonder how it is that anyone holds to the belief that the election was stolen when every single actual investigation - even by Trump’s most determined supporters - into every single accusation regarding it has failed to provide sufficient evidence to support the claim.

    dinesh d'souza lied to everyone about ballot drop boxes. but if i spent 2 hours watching a "documentary" about it (and believed the message), i don't think i'd be likely to believe any debunking.

    now, i did watch that shit show, and i will say that my philosophy degree gave me a leg up on spotting the dishonest rhetoric. lots of innuendo, a lot of unexplained methodology, and a lot of footage without knowable context. so when i found out that the crack investigative team told a judge they didn't have evidence per-se, my suspicions were confirmed.

    i doubt anyone who believed dinesh even heard about the court case.

  • the heritage foundation is a lot less scary to me than black rock, chase, meta, alphabet, and the actual fucking government (fisa courts, nsa spying, international spying agreements, criminalizing protests).

    this is all shit that already threatens us. the heritage foundation didn't make this happen: america is fascist, and they are just cheerleaders.

  • can you link what you're talking about?

    I'll also point out that the trolley problem does distinguish between the two tracks. unless I miss one that didn't?

  • If it didnt exist, it wouldnt be brought up.

    people lie on the internet all the time.

  • “Theyre all the same” finally got pushback,

    are you going to provide evidence anyone said that?

  • Keep ignoring the rest of what i said.

    your petulance doesn't make your wild accusations any more relevant.
