What's going on the UK is bonkers. Somewhere they went off the god damn rails.
when you are so afraid of being called racist, you stop going after criminals, you have lost your way
So @Timcast brings up the difference between legitimate and illegitimate authority in his banned books video today. I'd like you to reconsider the anarchist position on authority, Tim -- because even by your definition you acknowledge that authority is not something held by a person over another, but rather a deferment by a person to another they think is authoritative.
well if you think that law is our commonality, I would agree.
a lack of enforcement...we can no longer breed.
we are too diverse. cat and a dog.
Using your argument, anyone can say "I'm a doctor, put your hands on that wound" whether they're a doctor or not. Anyone can put on a uniform and say they're a police officer and "enforce" frozen zones.
That doesn't mean authority exists, it means people are deferring to someone they perceive as authority. It's no different than faith. People can have faith, but that does not objectively assert the existence of God -- it only subjectively asserts the deferment to God in that person's mind.
this vid popped up on my youtube frontpage
But even the idea of diversity is too diverse to properly quantify. It includes far too many factors just to say that you need more "diversity".
i don't watch youtube anymore, if i can help it.
u must watch jootube
Race? Skin color? Income? Wealth? Family? Relationships? Geographical location? You can't take everything into account all of the time.
Are different kinds of courts and legal systems within the same country "diversity of thought"?
generally we take it case by case.
for example. when someone breaks the law...
What about in France where some McDonalds franchise owners put up signs saying "no women allowed". It's not all McDonald's. You can just go to another. Is that diversity?
it's diversity amongst mcdonalds.
some allow, some don't, that is diversity.
Diversity of law breaking. White collar crime. Violent crime. Nonviolent crime. Drug crime. Miscegenation. Slavery. And it goes on...
this is why i think tim's thought was just not thought out completely. maybe he was rushed, or maybe his leftist bubble is real 😛
I think the main problem is that when someone says "diversity" you get a different answer per person.
He's probably just not playing devil's advocate enough and being far, far, FAR too generous when it comes to assuming people are 'good' or like him.
likely.
Like that black Apple diversity woman who got fired for saying that 12 white men could be diverse for having different backgrounds.
A lot of the liberals I know have this inherent believe that people from other cultures think exactly like them, and that the only differences are different languages, cloths, food, music, etc.
context, that's why i took it to the most general definition. differences
Like if you strip away the superficial differences that people from other cultures would share the same beliefs with respect to the role of religion, justice, government, family, gender, etc.
there was actually an interesting paper a teacher handed out that kind of pointed the differences in perspective of cultures out.
Then they're shocked when a man from Jordan or Syria is completely against the idea of their sister or daughter working and living independently.
But even there you run into a problem if a certain person just doesn't follow their culture's norms/beliefs/what-have-you.
it was describing standard things that americans take for granted, in a very odd way, the way an outsider might see them. To show us, how our perspectives are different.
Oh yeah I'm not saying to pigeonhole people or pre-judge people based on their nationality.
No, I think I just jumped to the conclusion you were making.
I'm saying that you can't take it for granted that all people everywhere believe in the same basic philosophy you do.
Some people might legitimately believe there is a role for religion in government, or that families must have the final say in who you marry.
Or that it's OK to exclude people based on inherent characteristics. These notions are very shocking to liberals.
So they patronize them.
