That's my point pretty much.

Amount of power and subject of power aren't necessarily related.

But they are. Are you more powerful if you have total control over one person, than someone who has moderate control over 100 people? It depends on what you can get accomplished, no? So a moderately successful populist could have more power than a feared slave owner

Even though he has less control over each component part of his power base

put the commies in prison. simple

Doesn't that just demonstrate how they aren't though?

No, because again, power is the output. You can accomplish a lot with one very dedicated, loyal follower

More than someone with minor influence over millions, for instance

Exactly

or fire them. Shame is what we need. We used to have shame.

How does that separate them? It's the same equation

So the size of the thing you have power over doesn't necessarily correlate with the amount of power you have.

It necessarily correlates, it just may not be the be-all end-all

Social Norms are the solution, not beating them philosophically or intellectually

I think most of these examples don't show a correlation but this conversation is starting to feel stupid.

Rigorous, brutal social norm enforcement

You're so smart, what do you think you know what's best for me?

Doesnt social norm enforcement imply you know what's best?

Chemical castration of children should be shamed

we start with that

@Beemann
> What you have power over is necessarily a factor of the amount of power you have
No shit, you sperg. Both are aspects of authoritarianism, neither of centralization.

Public shame is the only thing that's allowing for the chemical castration of children.

Yeah we're not going to get anywhere with this lol

social norms are driven by the family, neighbors and churches.

But yeah the trans kid thing+how it's being handled is fucked

libertarian fools

Libertarianism requires strong social structures

Bullying is the time tested solution. These trans fucks dont derive their power from families or individuals, the source of thwir power comes from collectives, corps, msm, institutions

the long march...

Bully early.

And often

yes

dont fall for the ptsd meme

dont fall for the psychoanalysis meme

dont tolerate the software vs. hardware of the mind meme

absolute morality exists and it is not man made

>software vs hardware of the mind meme
???

Charles Dawkins was a fool

If our dwfinition of a fool is a man that finds truth where it leads to destruction and death

Um
