They had serfdom despite their divided nature, largely because they were I guess what you could call "small scale authoritarians"

okay yes their serfdom got worse and worse

over time

But anyways, I'm going to go and kek but this has been interesting, I wish you luck in fleshing out your ideas!

for sure, thanks for the interesting conversation

Holy fuck.

The left like to riot by destroying building property

Their mask is like "abolish capitalism" but they help capitalism by making the smaller buisnesses pay a whole lot for the glass and the furniture shit

What if the radical left is ran by a bunch of big companies in discuise? What if they were all glass makers?

That’s a bit too woke for me

@Deleted User holocaust denial is not protected under freedom of speech

?????

I think holocaust denial is protected in the US isn't it?

yes

should it be else where

Yes

should it be universal

he was calling me 1488 for saying countries that have ban holocaust denial for being anti freedom of speech countries

^
well that part you assumed

nah just because someone wants freedom of speech doesnt mean they are 1488

it's not protected in Canada

holocaust denial

cause its a shit place

that isnt free

I'm struggling to see what useful argument you can make from either the premise that it happenned or not, so it doesn't really impede speech. It does impede people intentionally hurting others

lol

what an argument

ok, if I stop you from saying: "there are very small rocks deep in the earth" will you care?

yes

if youd kill me if i do

that would be misplaced caring

I'm sure you have more important subjects to attend to 😃

so ban non important ones

I understand what you mean

and frankly, I would prefer to be able to say anything I want

I was against that law when it passed - by principle

but it's been what, 30 years? I forgot

30 years of no freedom of speech

and in all that time, I never was placed in the position to claim either way

so in practice it was innauculous

and I'm a pragmatic when it comes to analysing problems

And guess what, my grand father was in Dashau

so

if america were to ban holocaust denial

i would deny it on the premise thats illegal\

and itd be a type of protest

like free the boob

walking around naked

hehe

Well, a lot of countries are envious of the american freedom of speech

It was clearly a stroke of genius

"We trained chickens to react to an average human female face but not to an average male face (or vice versa). In a subsequent test, the animals showed preferences for faces consistent with human sexual preferences (obtained from university students). This suggests that human preferences arise from general properties of nervous systems, rather than from face-specific adaptations."

🤦

Hmmm

There's a better version, with the headlines something like "Zambia offers land to farmers fleeing Zimbabwe", followed by "Zambia has record corn export".

imagine that

imagine my shock ?

Really gets the noggin-a-joggin

just thought you might want to look at it, I seem to remember you wrote a discord bot that used tensorflow or whatever

Markov model

well anyway it's just another potential data feed I thought you might want to look at

`He claimed the cost of building a Death Star would be $850,000,000,000,000,000.

Feinstein dug a little further.

"That was just the cost for the steel, the raw materials for building a Death Star. I took those numbers and found actually instead of $800 quadrillion, it would be $193 quintillion."`

This was a fun "conversation" to observe.

On Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Day I'd like to share with you all, and encourage you to share Dr. King's wise advice on the subject of homosexuality. The paragraph starts with "Your problem is not at all an uncommon one."

This is an analysis of why Hillary lost, and how the Democrats can recover, it's about 40 minute read. I've read about half of it, and I have to say "bravo".
Bravo - well done - I am in flabbergasted by the author (Jamie Chung), he manages to get it wrong almost _every_ turn and argument he makes, and he bases his conclusions in factually incorrect statements.

it's not really worth reading, unless you want to bathe in the ignorance of this person

here's one quote, that I enjoyed, from the very start of the article:
"And while most pundits at that point still considered Trump the second coming of Herman Cain, a circus act rather than a serious candidate, [Bill] Clinton feared Trump’s ability to channel white-working-class rage. “He’s a master brander and he[’s] sensing sort of the emotional landscape of people he’s selling to,” [Bill] Clinton told donors gathered in Atlanta in October 2015."

except that he used the name of a famous entertainer for effect, and then felt the need to explain himself

one can only hope that all analysts who look at "what democrats need to do to win next time" are as inept as this person

`Mark Blyth argues pretty persuasively that Clinton will run again in 2020 (timestamped)`

`He notes her as central in the "Cersei Lannister Problem: no one else can rule Westeros because I've killed them all, so it has to be me." `

god dammit he's pretty clever as well that mark fucker
