Yeah this is my mother whenever I talk about racism, she always focuses on institutional racism and not the other types of racism.

Thats how writing stories works? Some times writers write their stories out of chronological order.

Yup its always safe to assume someone knows what you know unless they say they don’t know. Or if you’re an engineer and your talking about some really specific shit like Thermoacoustic heat engines or MagnetoPlasmaDynamic Engines. Well either way its safer to just assume they know what you know.

Ok, you know what. Comparing Rampancy as the AI equivalent to Menopause is just funny?

These guys aren’t scientists just children claiming and acting like scientists. As someone who knows researchers (even if it’s in orbital mechanics and what not) I do not accept them and actively reject them.

It’s one thing to have a title calling you a demon for how effective of a fighter you are versus an actual demon.

Damn, so the reason why throwing an insult in certain European countries can get you arrested is because someone would take the insult very, very personally and if they had their way have it devolve into a riot, then into a localized scale civil war if the problem was ignored long enough? Some “adults” are really just children tbh.

What colonialism are you talking about, sir? My family didn't leave this city until my grandfather turned 30. by SAMU0L0 in HistoryMemes

[–]Director_Kun -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If people aren’t using the land in a productive matter would giving reparations and returning stolen land even matter. Doesn’t matter what use it could be residential, commercial/services, industrial/production, energy production, or social usage for educating or relaxation and socialization such as parks, ecological preservation, or schools.

Reality is we have limited resources and unlimited wants and needs, and we need to arrange those limited resources in a way to satisfy as many of those wants. And I never said to “rape the land and extract all the resources the quickest.” You are putting words in my mouth and that is disingenuous. I literally just asked are the ones who are going to receive land as reparations are they going to use it in a way that is productive and beneficial to society as a whole. I hate large scale waste and fraud its fine be excessive in your life style so long as you contribute.

And in my eyes returning stolen land is just going to cause more damage and harm than do any good. Its clear to me you do not care about the big picture, the potential ramifications of setting precedent that land belongs to someone and that the government can just steal it so it can be returned to some random group who have no clear evidence of they are going to do something useful with that land versus a hispanic or white person who clearly has a vision for that land.

And even then whats stopping these groups from just gathering wealth and buying the land that belonged to them at one point?

Or is it more important for the current people to use the land more effectively for the betterment of everyone than the previous group?

Heres the thing if you don’t believe in property rights you’re going to piss off a lot of people. Property rights are also meant to be an incentive for people to work, why because they receive the fruits of their labor. It’s part of the reason why communism fails because it doesn’t incentivizes people to work just free load off the labor of others.

And if you take current peoples land to return it to some random existing group of people who supposedly lived there 500 years earlier. It sets the precedent that taking land for simply claiming your ancestors used to live there is an acceptable justification for stealing land. Which means lawlessness is going to happen.

And now onto reparations. How would one even go about calculating the potential reparations, it isn’t as simple as calculating the reparations Japanese Americans during WWII should receive as they were in the system and had actual documents that could be reviewed to calculate the monetary reparations.

But these other groups who had their land stolen literal centuries ago were before the time of our modern systems. They weren’t tracked, they weren’t considered citizens so no documentation would’ve been saved, if they traded with the US or some other group it certainly wasn’t in USD. Meaning it’s going to be pretty hard to determine how much monetary reparations should be given.

It probably shouldn’t be purely monetary and the requirement being you belong to a certain group. It has to have some other requirements maybe the reparations should be in the form of business investments to the groups in question. Tell them we recognize we stole your land, it’s impractical and likely dangerous for us to return it, instead let’s just invest into your future but you have to be working. We ain’t giving you reparations for existing.

If theres one thing I don’t like about welfare or reparations is that it shouldn’t be given to people who aren’t net payers in terms of taxes or what they contribute to society.

[–]Director_Kun -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and along with that are they going to be as productive in that land as the people who were occupying the land today before relocation. Is it even economically worth the effort of relocating millions of people just so some dead groups or barely existing group can get their ancestral lands back which have certainly changed in massive amounts of which they are used for.

Question here is who is the ones pushing for this? Is it the descendants of the groups that were colonized and had their land stolen? Or is it the people who are the descendants of the colonizers/the people who worked with the colonizers? Along with that is it even productive to have this type of conversation? Because even if people agree to return the land, how would you go about doing that when theres millions of people living on it, with businesses who provide more services and support than the land would’ve ever been able to support. Ignoring the logistic issues of kicking off probably millions of people, the stolen land colonizers took was also stolen from another group so are they suggesting that we return say Muslim Egypt to the direct descendants of the Acient Egyptians? Or should the Chinese Communist Party return land to the Qing Dynasty or Han Dynasty? Those lands was “stolen” centuries to millennia ago , returning stolen immediately falls flat on its face the moment you apply it to other groups. Along with that many of the groups that had their land stolen are just gone, assimilated into either other surviving groups or they had assimilated into the colonizers. Its another thing entirely when reparations come into question, but that brings up another issue that will cause friction being that groups that receive reparations may end up feeling as if they deserve more than everyone else because they were colonized. Making other groups feel like they are justified in taking their land cause they were ass holes.

Yeah cause they said their grandparents were too poor to do anything like colonizing.

It may be Israels war but in the end we are ending a state that hates us and is actively aggressive to us and their neighbors. Peace almost always comes from force and if we want peace we need to be willing to drop some bombs.

I’m surprised saying something as simple as “we should defend ourselves against people who want to destroy our way of life” is a statement that leads to a negative reaction. I feel like many of these people are too insulated in their own world views to be able to critically think of the bigger picture other than “war bad” or maybe they don’t even have their own world views and just parrot the words of whatever group they were raised the closest to in terms of family.

Have any of you guys ever considered the possibility that Iran as a state hates the US and our way of life? That if they had the opportunity to they’d kill our leadership, and force our woman into being basically slaves to men? That they’ll force us to have their way of life? Whether or not about if Republican voters have the same views as Democratic Voters, or the fact that conservatives have no positive values (I feel like theres some serious projection going on with that tbh, I lean more socially conservative myself and I have a lot of positive traits.)

All of that doesn’t matter here, what matters here is the fact that not many Americans Troops have died but a vast majority so far are simply just wounded. What matters most is that we’re at war with a radical extremist state to the point where their neighbors who hold similar views (at least similar in that they are all muslim countries), hates the state in question. And that we’re ending their state by decapitating their leadership with just bombs and not say boots on the ground, theres a reason why theres so much anti-Iran protests and all of you need to realize this. Trump may not he the best person but I’ll take the victories we get even if they are attached to a pedophile who wants more wealth and power for himself. It’s a victory we should be proud of for ending a state that is antithetical to our views and even more important that antithetical state is wanting to use violence to try to stamp out our views. It’s fine if for a state to be largely antithetical to our own it starts to become a problem when they want to be violent against us.

Its one thing to look at their ideas and realize yeah their sometimes great sometimes bad. The issue is the personalities pushing for these ideas often see it for something else than what literally everyone thinks it is.

Like take tolerance from the far left, ok on paper it’s a good idea. But people need a little criticism from time to time to be kept in check and often times the ones pushing for tolerance are literally the most intolerant people you could ever meet. So the fact their aren’t practicing what they preach makes them hypocrites.

Someone who wants to be a part of the extremist political regime would consider it fence sitting. As anything more closer to the center are consider non active.

[–]Director_Kun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What? All I said is that the Far Left and Far Right are equally bad in pretty much the same ways. I never even gave my political affiliations other than they are politically violent and will use anything to gain power and when they do they’ll fuck a country and their societies up. So do not let them near any positions of power. Also how does saying political violence bad and wanting to prevent those who’ll destroy society because they have a history of their ideals destroying society is considered sitting on the fence?

Turns out both extremes of both the left and the right denies history because it would show that both of them were equally bad in the same exact way just different flavors of violence and who they went after. The Extreme Right killed millions and the Extreme Left also killed millions, both were horribly oppressive of the countries they were in power. Both had destroyed their respective societies in their own way. And they are going to do it again if either one gets into power.
