If the company fails, the responsibility for that is not on the workers. Why would they care if it does, if they can just extract all of the money for themselves?

The responsibility for managing the company should be on the people that are responsible for the company itself.

This is not to say, that they should not be represented in decisionmaking, they probably should, but since they do not own the organisations that employ them, they have no right to dictate how they should be run.

If I had tatoos that ugly I would seriously consider becoming one.

Quite a lot.

Trump us destroying the international standing of Israel's strongest ally, this should count for something.

So Trump is a real friend of Palestine, you should say thank you.

Dying of dysentery is not a tradition, genius.

I can think of a president far more repulsive than any king.

Putting kings on coins is a very old tradition, originating in Rome. Culture is important.

Moral objectivism and Rand's objectivism are two completely different things.

Rand's philosophy is opposed to traditional morality.

This would be great. I love coins.

But your coins don't even have a face of a king and cool latin words on them, so they aren't quite as great as I'd like.

Well, sorry for the accusation. AI usually gives these bullet points when prompted.

Are these AI bullet points, lmao?

They feel like it's wrong so it needs to be illegal.

They believe it to be immoral, so they want it to be illegal, yes. Is that not how people usually decide what should be legal and what shouldn't?

Also, it seems disingenuous to say that

No amount of death or suffering of real live people is as important as their idea of a person.

I would say one can be opposed to abortions, and still care about other people. Clearly.

The state already regulates which practices may or may not be performed by doctors. This is hardly different.

It affects everyone that smokes.

Did a smoker fuck your wife, by any chance?

I wouldn't say that. In most of the world it is discouraged, but in the US they are zealots when it comes to smoking.

There is nothing criminal about smoking, and people should not be ostracized for it.

Americans are lame, aren't they?

I would say people with principled political views are in the minority, whether they are on the left or on the right. Most people just parrot what everyone else and the politicians say. People don't like to think about these matters too deeply and vague emotions can be used(by politicians) in many ways.

In any case, which extreme positions are you referring to specifically? Or rather, which positions are extreme and integral to their programme?

Did Northern Ireland adopt the Irish language from Ireland after the treaty then?

I assumed you meant the competent republican will be so successful, the party will win the next election and the dems will not be able to compete. So you would rather they fail and let you win.

But now I realise that you actually implied they will rig the elections, which makes me think you are dramatising even more, since I doubt that will happen.

Maybe you are right, but I would not underestimate how quickly things can change. The did change quickly with Trump, did they not?

Why would they not support him? A sizeable portion of their base love the guy. He has a lot of power.

And why would the situation not change if a more sensible person assumed leadership of the party? Things can change rather quickly, and if his term goes badly I doubt the conservative establishment will appreciate another idiot nominee with a god complex.

The democrats nominated a barely functioning senile man that can't string a sentence together for president twice. That does not mean that every single nominee that comes after is going to have dementia, does it?
