the margin is so big its like no one even tried
Im disappointed in the Irish even though i expected this tbh
I mean people really believe in the whole you cant legislate morality
but following that logic just leeds to anarchy or hypocrisy
and none of the cosmopolitans will ever go for anarchy
If you did an opinion poll of "Can you legislate morality" it would be sweeping no you can't but ask them about x or Y and they'll want to ban, regulate or decomission something
RIP Irish babies 😦 ^^ Breadpill is right, the norm right now is an odd form of social libertarianism where people try to allow anything, but ultimately really just force their lefty morality on others
Really everyone has their holy cow, so in a way you can really appreciate the current libertarians honesty, but their economics will never let them hold wide spread institutional power because they aren't giving anything away. They often have to take things away.
But really everyone is pretty lined up with them just dont like the ecnomics
truth is not objectively moral
once you understand that the rest becomes easy
I mean I definitely lean libertarian on a moral and philosophical level, but most people are heavily authoritarian without realizing it.
I hate the dishonesty of the post moral world because they will never have the gall to be eugenic or anything
I want to see the logical conclusion of their stance, hell it could possibly be better than this stupid half way thing we got now
True. It's like "babies are just clumps of cells up to a certain point, but human adults are somehow special and must be protected"
Agreed, I'd rather "everyone is a lump of cells" than "babies under a certain random date of development are"
It wouldn't be so bad if policy was based off of straight up scientism, where they think the scientific method can determine all, but there's always pearl clutching, not necessarily authentic pearl clutching but pear clutching all the same. Throw out racial IQ science cuz we need labor for the growing economy. Throw out any study against women's lib cuz we need their votes. It's just so gay
Yeet
Liberal democracy is a failed system, or at least we're in a failed application of it.
Any stance in politics nowadays where it's claimed to be a moral line not to be crossed it's really just because of needing votes or very self-serving ends
WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN
theres no CHILDREN
to think of
Oof
wow an interesting take from @ðŸŽðŸŽµ
I feel the same way
I believe the peak level of sustainable degeneracy was hit in the 1920s
There's a related tactic that people straddling the middle, tugged between two competing belief systems, use in order to undermine any debate in their favor
motte-and-bailey tactics
named after the medieval fortification which had a simple outer wall (motte) versus the imposing inner keep (bailey)
people advocate the "motte" but retreat to the defensible "bailey" when questioned
integrity or honesty need not apply
NO DUNKING ON ISLAM ALLOWED

Is that Nick??
Yes

@ðŸŽðŸŽµ Dunk on all those who deny Christ
