@Contra sure, are you opposed to limits on what that business can be?

2020-01-13 22:12:45 UTC  

@Deleted User Only where it directly infringes on the fundamental rights of another.

2020-01-13 22:13:21 UTC  

@Contra what rights are those?

2020-01-13 22:13:44 UTC  

I'm willing to use the UN list of universal human rights.

2020-01-13 22:14:02 UTC  

It's not quite as comprehensive as I'd like it to be, but.

2020-01-13 22:14:07 UTC  

It'll suit.

2020-01-13 22:14:53 UTC  

Good enough for the time being.


Also I believe every person has a right to sustain themselves apart from society if they wish.

2020-01-13 22:15:01 UTC  

And if they can manage it.

2020-01-13 22:15:36 UTC  

I can post the list, if you want

2020-01-13 22:16:09 UTC  

nah I grabbed a PDF

2020-01-13 22:16:55 UTC  

they aren't terrible. My main issue is the idea that *all* people deserve these rights. Why should my people care about another?

2020-01-13 22:17:33 UTC  

Cool. It's kinda fluffy-sounding but at its core are decent principles-


Well, because. You'd want them to care if the situation was reversed, right?

2020-01-13 22:17:57 UTC  

Just basic fairness.

2020-01-13 22:18:57 UTC  

depends. If I were in their shoes I would not care and as such would somewhat look down on them if they did. But I'm not exactly gonna refuse help and I might ask for it.

2020-01-13 22:21:05 UTC  

Huh.

Well... I guess what I'm trying to say is it doesn't need to be that way.

2020-01-13 22:21:55 UTC  

I *want* it to be that way. Struggle and conflict between peoples is not only inevitable, but good. It will lead to the evolution of mankind.

2020-01-13 22:22:58 UTC  

Evolution into a warlike species, which... Honestly war is cool and all, violence is cool, but only for the right reasons.

2020-01-13 22:23:24 UTC  

The prime directive in my mind is to get us off this rock before the sun goes boom.

2020-01-13 22:23:41 UTC  

And we can't really do that if we're at each other's throats.

2020-01-13 22:23:58 UTC  

I mean, we can, but there's more than one way to skin a cat.

2020-01-13 22:24:43 UTC  

And while war does accelerate production, and research, it's not the most efficient way of getting things where they need to be.

2020-01-13 22:25:08 UTC  

It's often a necessity, sure.

2020-01-13 22:25:32 UTC  

We've got plenty of time for that. If one people were determined enough I 'd say they could conquer the world in a couple centuries. Well before the sun goes insane. I'd say violence for the betterment of one's nation and species is a good reason. War requires inteligence, physical strength, courage etc. all good and eternally beneficial traits.

2020-01-13 22:26:30 UTC  

It also requires one to quiet one's conscience, one's empathy. And we do need those qualities so that life does not become a living hell.

2020-01-13 22:26:30 UTC  

Blessed to the man who banned Raven

2020-01-13 22:26:50 UTC  

I'll brb, gotta clean the house.

2020-01-13 22:29:18 UTC  

Freedom is not a right but a struggle, it isn’t absolute a freedom during wartime differs from freedom of peace however it is the duty to serve in the name of the state, as the state is total, the state is all and you are part of that all, therefore the state grants you rights to act as a reasonable, prosperous, and beneficial citizen of the state, the citizen may do about as they please as long as it prospers the state in the end, the government must prosper it nonetheless.

2020-01-13 22:30:35 UTC  

Inane conflict isn't good

2020-01-13 22:30:42 UTC  

@Augustus people>state. The state is merely a tool of the eternal folk, nation people etc. serve the people by serving a good state or by revolting against a bad one.

2020-01-13 22:30:59 UTC  

You've probably never experienced a war or actual conflict in your life

2020-01-13 22:31:42 UTC  

Cooperation and mutual respect is always more beneficial than war and senseless violence

2020-01-13 22:31:43 UTC  

@Deleted User fascism rejects that nation is above state and that state is above nation

2020-01-13 22:32:05 UTC  

@T. Raven I will

2020-01-13 22:32:30 UTC  

No you won't

2020-01-13 22:32:33 UTC  

@Deleted User National Socialism uses the state as a tool, in Fascism the state is total, the government is a tool, the state is immaterial and it is moral law.

2020-01-13 22:32:44 UTC  

It is impossible for me to respect the vast majority of foreigners, and the feeling is mutual.

2020-01-13 22:33:10 UTC  

@T. Raven as soon as I turn 18 I join the army. And I'm fairly sure at least some conflict will be available

2020-01-13 22:33:21 UTC  

You'll clamor and holler about fighting from the safety of your home then get cold feet the second the bullets start flying

2020-01-13 22:33:39 UTC  

Doubt it

2020-01-13 22:33:51 UTC  

a large amount of people don't do that
