hi

2018-03-27 10:14:54 UTC

you expel anyone who doesn't agree 100% with you and try to ruin their lives

2018-03-27 10:14:55 UTC

duh

2018-03-27 10:14:58 UTC

activism 101

2018-03-27 10:15:14 UTC

Violence generally right?

2018-03-27 10:15:19 UTC

oppression stifles productivity though and leads to revolt

2018-03-27 10:15:23 UTC

hi

2018-03-27 10:15:26 UTC

wrong

2018-03-27 10:15:27 UTC

can i ask sth

2018-03-27 10:15:39 UTC

if that was true we would still be practicing slavery

2018-03-27 10:15:41 UTC

Can;t revolt if you're dead

2018-03-27 10:15:50 UTC

hi

2018-03-27 10:15:52 UTC

hiiiiiiiiii

2018-03-27 10:15:53 UTC

can't kill everyone

2018-03-27 10:16:01 UTC

hi birdfaggot make your point

2018-03-27 10:16:09 UTC

Can't control everyone either

2018-03-27 10:16:36 UTC

That's why freedom of choice is the most important factor in a society

2018-03-27 10:16:58 UTC

aka WHAT IF THE CHILD CONSENTS

2018-03-27 10:17:06 UTC

so choice ultimately

2018-03-27 10:17:10 UTC

or revolt insues

2018-03-27 10:17:17 UTC

within reason

2018-03-27 10:17:26 UTC

eventually yes

2018-03-27 10:17:42 UTC

you guys are trying to distill complex structures and processes into a single principle

2018-03-27 10:17:53 UTC

Depends, segregate, let people choose what nightmare to live under

2018-03-27 10:17:56 UTC

it really betrays an autistic need for order and clean answers

2018-03-27 10:18:03 UTC

more choice the better

2018-03-27 10:18:36 UTC

okay. freedom of choice is one part of the complex structure of a highly functioning society

2018-03-27 10:19:02 UTC

I'm trying to avoid a one size fits all actually. I'm not happy with just one society

2018-03-27 10:19:03 UTC

if you want a fundamental structure from which to base an ideology on autistically, it's humans as a social animal

2018-03-27 10:19:09 UTC

do you really want me to go into every detail of such a complex system?

2018-03-27 10:19:31 UTC

no I don't

2018-03-27 10:19:37 UTC

there is no one society?

2018-03-27 10:19:51 UTC

any theory that doesnt start from there or acknowledge it is inadequate

2018-03-27 10:20:07 UTC

libertarianism in particular is bad at coping with the fact

2018-03-27 10:20:46 UTC

If anything is certain to me, It's that their should not be just one society, or one authority on morality and social structure. let people choose facism, let others choose anarchy, yada yada.

2018-03-27 10:21:06 UTC

Not that it will expel violence, it would just allow for choice

2018-03-27 10:21:14 UTC

Violence wont ever be expelled

2018-03-27 10:21:49 UTC

Segregation of such societies of course

2018-03-27 10:21:53 UTC

fascism is not compatible with a free society just as anarchy is not compatible with an authoriative society

2018-03-27 10:22:20 UTC

Yes that's why we cannot have one society

2018-03-27 10:22:21 UTC

it would also lead to constant warfare

2018-03-27 10:22:29 UTC

It would

2018-03-27 10:22:36 UTC

we don't!

2018-03-27 10:22:44 UTC

But one society, or structure would lead to warfare regardless

2018-03-27 10:22:47 UTC

through oopression

2018-03-27 10:22:48 UTC

there is no one society

2018-03-27 10:22:57 UTC

**Alakazam#4383** was cleansed from the server.

2018-03-27 10:23:03 UTC

I know, but that's the goal for many

2018-03-27 10:23:07 UTC

they want to fix the world

2018-03-27 10:23:08 UTC

their way

2018-03-27 10:23:40 UTC

then let them fix it. If it brings peace and prosperity across the globe then why fight it?

2018-03-27 10:23:57 UTC

Because it wont

2018-03-27 10:24:09 UTC

It's flawed to think you can change everyones minds

2018-03-27 10:24:30 UTC

some people want fascism, some want liberty

2018-03-27 10:24:43 UTC

some want islam

2018-03-27 10:24:52 UTC

very few actually want fascism

2018-03-27 10:25:19 UTC

are you of the belief you can convince them of that?

2018-03-27 10:25:32 UTC

educating children is the key to changing society for the better

2018-03-27 10:25:48 UTC

I don;t need to convince anyone of anthing

2018-03-27 10:26:23 UTC

You'll just indoctrinate?

2018-03-27 10:26:45 UTC

I just need the ignorant to send their kids to school. If it's free most will do so. Essentially yes. For the betterment of society.

2018-03-27 10:27:21 UTC

Ah. Well you'll get what you're after, if you control the educating that's

2018-03-27 10:27:55 UTC

however. Indoctrination isn't quite right. I would want to teach them critical thinking skills

2018-03-27 10:29:01 UTC

I'm going to teach my boy critical thinking too.

2018-03-27 10:29:03 UTC

That's the plan

2018-03-27 10:29:11 UTC

I understand. rationally if you're right, they would believe what's educating, and you would not fear the critical, as you believe you hold the truth.

2018-03-27 10:29:16 UTC

good on you Valty

2018-03-27 10:29:37 UTC

I hate the idea of indoctrinating children, regardless what it is.

2018-03-27 10:29:44 UTC

Let them decide for themselves.

2018-03-27 10:29:48 UTC

Exactly. and yes some will slip through the cracks and take mein kampf seriously but most won't

2018-03-27 10:30:08 UTC

In theory

2018-03-27 10:30:16 UTC

in theory yes

2018-03-27 10:30:40 UTC

Schools are known for indoctrination too though, so I'm prepared to balance out any bullshit he's taught.

2018-03-27 10:31:02 UTC

Well, if some universal truth does exist for a better society, the children and the right education would be the path to finding out

2018-03-27 10:31:16 UTC

the modern education system doesn't teach any real valuable skills other than reading and writing

2018-03-27 10:31:36 UTC

that's my belief

2018-03-27 10:31:51 UTC

Some math

2018-03-27 10:32:05 UTC

I was going to type math but got lazy lol

2018-03-27 10:32:42 UTC

getting tired but enjoying convo

2018-03-27 10:34:00 UTC

But it's also possible the only truth from teaching rationale well to the youth, is that much of a "better society" depends on the goals you have for life, and life goals are irrational, by that all will fade to nothing. so we can take that and assume lifes meaning and therefore purpose will differ, and so opinions on a better society will very so greatly between collectivism, individualism, materialism, spiritualism. we'll even with well rational children (not indoctrinated) will cause conflict

2018-03-27 10:34:08 UTC

and warfare will continue

2018-03-27 10:34:48 UTC

It's my belief such differences will not easily go away, and so if "better society" is one without warfare. your best bet is indoctrination and total control

2018-03-27 10:35:04 UTC

at least if it's not spiritual

2018-03-27 10:38:52 UTC

Those differences in beliefs are fine and you can vote democratically for those values but in a system with many checks and balances it's going to be difficult to have it be dominated by one general ideology and will more likely become a complex system that incorporates many different ideas and over time the one's that work will stay and the one's that don't will be removed.

2018-03-27 10:40:19 UTC

Define work. less violent? more productive? closer to god?

2018-03-27 10:43:36 UTC

it depends. For example we know that the separation of religion and state is necessary because without that freedom of religion couldn't exist for the minor religions. We know that the right to bear arms is necessary to protect the right to freedom of speech. We know freedom of speech is valuable because it keeps society from suppressing ideas that could potentially better humanity, etc.

2018-03-27 10:45:50 UTC

**Aodhan#5253** was cleansed from the server.

2018-03-27 10:45:56 UTC

true, they all share a common relationship, expression, or the will to express. or better the right to conflict

2018-03-27 10:46:28 UTC

one way or the other, we want the right to rebel, to object

2018-03-27 10:47:24 UTC

It's so of my belief this is the problem, many want to avoid creating conflict, or believe a better society is a peaceful one or one devoid of conflict/violence

2018-03-27 10:47:48 UTC

now violence always leads people to lend their mind to the worst of thoughts

2018-03-27 10:47:57 UTC

but think sport as an example

2018-03-27 10:48:35 UTC

the Olympics are perhaps humanities best global achievement in my mind, something so silly as sports

2018-03-27 10:49:11 UTC

but nonetheless it symbolizes finding ways to fight out differences and find peace through violence

2018-03-27 10:52:05 UTC

Or to assert dominance by saying we produce better people than you and advertize people to come to your better country

2018-03-27 10:52:57 UTC

Look at this guy he runs fast, if you were in our country this guy would be winning for you

2018-03-27 10:54:02 UTC

Right, also is a good way to settle an argument. not all arguments but it does help some

2018-03-27 10:55:29 UTC

hi!

2018-03-27 10:57:16 UTC

I guess where I like to go with this thinking is that violence is so overlooked on the importance it leads in a healthy society, to test your society against another. war is after all quite productive in many ways. but if society could find ways to compete without its most uneducated form, being that of destroying the other proves I'm right argument. we might actually start to see the path to universal truth is ironically mixed in with what we perceive as the worst argument you can make, that of "shutup or ill shut you up"
