Alright man

2019-09-16 23:46:36 UTC

it's an every day situation

2019-09-16 23:46:41 UTC

that your model cannot really handle

2019-09-16 23:46:50 UTC

I wouldnโ€™t say itโ€™s as every day as you believe

2019-09-16 23:46:54 UTC

lol

2019-09-16 23:47:01 UTC

Considering people self segregate into their own communities

2019-09-16 23:47:23 UTC

People self segregating is bad.

2019-09-16 23:47:28 UTC

Lmao

2019-09-16 23:47:41 UTC

Freedom of association bad

2019-09-16 23:47:45 UTC

Another reason for civic-nationalism.

2019-09-16 23:48:00 UTC

People won't segregate as much.

2019-09-16 23:48:10 UTC

People will follow the same values and will coexist

2019-09-16 23:48:10 UTC

America is civic nationalist

2019-09-16 23:48:16 UTC

People still self segregate

2019-09-16 23:48:21 UTC

It's not.

2019-09-16 23:48:28 UTC

America is ethno nationalist

2019-09-16 23:48:36 UTC

It's not.

2019-09-16 23:48:37 UTC

What is America?

2019-09-16 23:49:02 UTC

Not nationalist.

2019-09-16 23:49:13 UTC

True but itโ€™s falling apart because of that

2019-09-16 23:49:34 UTC

Nor is it civic.

2019-09-16 23:49:45 UTC

You already said that

2019-09-16 23:50:02 UTC

All the issues would go away if it were civic-nationalist

2019-09-16 23:50:59 UTC

I mean yes, I agree, two different groups of people wanting to have the country being very different than what it is right now. That will just go away

2019-09-16 23:51:07 UTC

Yeah I see that

2019-09-16 23:51:13 UTC

Everyone will be unified

2019-09-16 23:51:18 UTC

And will follow the same values

2019-09-16 23:51:38 UTC

Ok so you think America or a country is based on values, right?

2019-09-16 23:52:09 UTC

It can be

2019-09-16 23:52:26 UTC

Yes but thatโ€™s what you want right

2019-09-16 23:52:48 UTC

Or a common culture

2019-09-16 23:52:50 UTC

Language

2019-09-16 23:53:30 UTC

All

2019-09-16 23:53:55 UTC

Common culture, language etc

2019-09-16 23:54:10 UTC

And values

2019-09-16 23:54:54 UTC

I mean, Britain could be Canada or even... America then right? They are using the same Language and culture

2019-09-16 23:55:08 UTC

Hell theyโ€™re all democratic

2019-09-16 23:55:18 UTC

And have the same enlightenment values

2019-09-16 23:55:37 UTC

But what happens when we learn values are heritable

2019-09-16 23:56:08 UTC

Or what happens when values change so radically but the peopleโ€™s own will

2019-09-16 23:56:20 UTC

Can you say antifa and conservatives are the same nation?

2019-09-16 23:56:24 UTC

If based on values

2019-09-16 23:56:32 UTC

They donโ€™t agree on history

2019-09-16 23:56:45 UTC

Values, Iโ€™d say the culture is different

2019-09-17 00:01:39 UTC

@Weez your silence speaks volumes

2019-09-17 00:01:42 UTC

<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

2019-09-17 00:01:49 UTC

Sorry I was in the other channel

2019-09-17 00:02:52 UTC

You can all have the same people in the same nation as long as they have the same values

2019-09-17 00:18:20 UTC

Values need people to hold them

2019-09-17 00:38:27 UTC

True, values we will instil in people at school.

2019-09-17 01:27:14 UTC

America does not have the same culture and values as Brittan.

2019-09-17 01:51:26 UTC

Exactly we gave them up unlike America

2019-09-17 06:06:21 UTC

@Weez do you really have the same values as the people in your country? Last time I checked you had people from a different religion arguing about education. Those aren't the same set of values though are they?

2019-09-17 06:10:01 UTC

You can't have the same set of values from different kinds of principles either. The only thing you can have is a sense of national pride.

2019-09-17 06:17:58 UTC

I mean, some charities have been going on for about 60 odd years. Keep Britain Tidy @Weez is a good example of how people aren't thinking nationally anymore and they are too afraid to teach people how to be.

#ethnonatgang

2019-09-17 13:23:00 UTC

All stems from the fact that children aren't taught values in school. @TEABAG!!!

2019-09-17 13:23:15 UTC

The issues would go away, if they were.

2019-09-17 14:23:43 UTC

Imagine thinking you can tell free, self-defined and autonomous individuals to follow some outdated set of rules. What are you, a tyrant?

2019-09-17 14:24:25 UTC

#Not_My_Liberalism

2019-09-17 14:30:51 UTC

๐Ÿ˜ฉ

2019-09-17 14:31:04 UTC

We could just slightly change our schooling methods

2019-09-17 14:31:09 UTC

And instil those values ๐Ÿ™‚

2019-09-17 14:31:20 UTC

Authoritarian!

2019-09-17 14:32:18 UTC

No no no, it's just education!

2019-09-17 14:36:19 UTC

Education that forces children into a mindset where they are subordinate to the teacher is, in and of itself, promoting and ingraining in them authoritarian, proto-fascist cultural values and presuppositions. If the children cannot chose what and how they learn, it's not learning, it's Hitlerjugend boot camp!

2019-09-17 14:37:07 UTC

How do we fix this then?

2019-09-17 14:37:14 UTC

The parents obviously can't chose either.

2019-09-17 14:39:03 UTC

(I shit you not, there is ppl out there who think what I just said unironically.)

2019-09-17 14:39:10 UTC

(and they are influential)

2019-09-17 14:40:27 UTC

What if we just make people give birth to fully formed adults

2019-09-17 14:41:24 UTC

Welcome to the new, post-Marxist left. Have a seat. Your complementary gallon of bleach will be served to you shortly.

2019-09-17 14:42:37 UTC

All I wanna see is democratic education sex ed. I'm pretty sure it's just an orgy with the teacher.

2019-09-17 14:53:29 UTC

@Weez see, all the nice neighbourhoods are the one's without the condoms and the needles and knives sticking out the bushes... Where kids can play and you see the young ones just sat there on the swings with their parents sat on the bench reading a newspaper.

When it comes to tidying up after yourself. .... That's what you're meant to learn , and to say sorry. To be compassionate towards one another . However, in the UK all those went out the window and they started to just kill the teachers. If they weren't trying to bunk off school.

2019-09-17 14:56:53 UTC

Fascist!

2019-09-17 15:05:22 UTC

All values which can be taught in school.

2019-09-17 15:31:21 UTC

@Tonight at 11 - DOOM hence the reason why the UK have the highest apathy rates going. In my generation we were truants and no one cared.

Then, they went wayward and now it's back to values.

2019-09-17 15:31:51 UTC

Don't @ me, fascist

2019-09-17 15:34:47 UTC

Whstever float's your boat. I mean, some parents didn't like jail after they let their kids skip school. That was labour .... That's going a bit far that is

2019-09-17 15:35:27 UTC

I think parents should have been given support, not jail time .

2019-09-17 15:40:50 UTC
2019-09-17 15:48:23 UTC

Lol wtf

2019-09-17 15:49:01 UTC

Huh

2019-09-17 15:56:59 UTC

Itโ€™s a interesting criticism of liberalism for sure

2019-09-17 15:57:43 UTC

I think thatโ€™s why a lot of people are getting sick of liberalism and libertarianism. It seems like theyโ€™re always in this abstract world of forms and not in reality

2019-09-17 15:57:53 UTC

I think itโ€™s particularly true for Ancaps

2019-09-17 15:58:10 UTC

Who want to follow their beliefs to as much as humanly possibly

2019-09-17 15:58:29 UTC

Again not always

2019-09-17 15:58:36 UTC

Even in theory they are incorrect

2019-09-17 15:59:05 UTC

Well their first premise is that all men are created equal and Locke thought people were blank slates

2019-09-17 15:59:14 UTC

So yeah they had a bad start

2019-09-17 15:59:46 UTC

It's much more than that and saying that their ideas are fine but don't work out in reality is giving them too much credit

2019-09-17 18:00:03 UTC

Self professed "Thinkers" formulate ideologies. Yet they rarely bother to formulate goals for them.
And what's worse is that they create these ideological equivalents of mind castles and praise their virtues constantly, even though the ideologies in question can rarely survive contact with actual humans and human behaviour.

My view is: if your ideology is demonstrably incompatible with humanity, then your ideology is a waste of time and should be discarded.

If you constantly have to excuse your ideology with the words "If only people would..." then that's a surefire symptom of your ideology being fundamentally flawed.

2019-09-17 18:25:24 UTC

If only people weren't so greedy, then capitalism could work.
