step down

I didn’t ask for a response.

I thought you didn’t tolerate sealioning

your definition of politics is myopic.

step down.

Josh Shapiro, John fetterman, Lindsay Graham, Mike Huckabee…

the list is almost endless. you don’t seem to know anything about this issue. you probably aren’t qualified to moderate a politics community.

You’re not qualified to be a mod if you can’t even read a username.

Americans are building the bombs and providing political cover.

“what is different about a pig that makes it less than morally bad to kill the pig?”

oh, the classic rhetorical trap of “name the trait” which always devolves into a no-true-scotsman. on its face it’s purely a spectrum fallacy. the inability to identify a singular trait or even a set of traits that differentiate humans from pigs doesn’t change the fact that they are fundamentally different.

please, no one fall for this line of discussion. it’s just an exercise in shaming and time-wasting.

consciousness doesn’t grant agency. free will does. if we can’t agree on this, then go on making up your own definitions.

if you’re not choosing how to change your environment, you have no agency. rock slides change their environment but they have no agency.

if it’s meaningless, why are you so focused on trying to define it and defend your position? you must recognize this is only rational if you have agency.

>I oppose fascists being tolerated because it can lead to fascism

but you can’t choose whether you oppose it. your opposition, according to you, is just an emotion you feel as you ride your meat suit to the grave. and fascists can’t choose whether to be fascist. and the very act of toleration can have no will behind it, so it can also not be good or evil.

it can’t be bad if it’s just a natural phenomenon like gravity. it just is.

you really don’t believe you had any choice but to write that response and send it?

it’s meaningless since I couldn’t choose to act on my intention

"Humans, and some other biological life forms, are just a bunch consciousness’s riding a path of physical entropy.”

if this were true, fascism isn’t an evil ideology, it’s just a thing that happens and is neither good nor bad.

"even if the world isn’t determined, that simply means its indeterminate. "

this is such an interesting nuance that I hadn’t considered. of course it’s not relevant. if the world is somehow non-deterministic but we still don’t have free will, this whole conversation is absurd.

“If you wanted to goad a response from me”

without free will I can have no intention.

if no one chooses their own mind, why are you trying to convince me of anything. it’s completely absurd.

“it follows logically from your opposition to my post questioning it.”

no, you’re making a leap of logic.
