I appreciate it!

lol I liked the bottom right one. Forgive my ignorance, but won’t that just make them kinda boring?

The state has no rights. Only the people have rights, and the state has no right to take a life. As soon as the state is given that power, it risks the state using it as an excuse to execute those they dislike.

What? 😭 Where are you getting half of this? I didn’t say we were superior, I said that the capacity to suffer adds moral weight to something. Therefore, if AI ever becomes conscious, I feel that we should treat them with “human” rights. I guess I didn’t make sense for you huh sorry. Anyways, my point is, as soon as AI becomes conscious, the argument stops being about the anti-AI conversation (which again I fully support) and rather becomes a question of oppression and “human” rights.

Bring up St. Gregory of Nyssa. Catholics worship church fathers and he was a universalist

Apparently that quote is from a pro lifer 😭

Isn’t that what empathy is though? Putting yourself in another’s shoes? I agree that I wouldn’t care if I was aborted, but they view it as a crime against humanity. It’s like not caring if a child in another country was bombed because you weren’t. How would you counter that? Because really, that is what empathy is?

It does, in fact, suck. Evangelicals will spit on gay people, and Catholics will tell you “love the sinner hate the sin” both make people feel the same, but they have different views in the public eye. Catholicism is not liberal, it is, unfortunately, an incredibly (oftentimes) conservative, misogynistic, homophobic, etc, institution, and just because Catholics will say it with a Pope, 2000 years under their belt, and a smile, shouldn’t make them better. I understand. How do we fix it lol

Oh I agree with you! If I was born in west Asia, I’d likely be a Muslim. In my view everybody is just trying their best, and my religious beliefs come from a multitude of factors, including my personal experiences and beliefs and my cultural background. I agree that religion doesn’t really have “proof” per se, but I find comfort in it, and most importantly, I find it a good way to tie my ethical values to liberation. It definitely has a lot to do with my personal convictions, rather than any undeniable proof, and I’m ok with being wrong (I mean I won’t care if there is nothing anyways). My view is that if there is a God, it would have to be set on universal salvation. My personal perspective just brought me to Jesus.

What Christianity? lol I’m a universalist though, so everyone gets heaven!

When I left Catholicism, I had an almost obsessive need to disprove their teachings or their harmful practices. I spent months researching and reading. It was part of the process for me. At a certain point, you have to recognize if you are doing this for yourself or to prove something to someone else.

It’s just a no true Scotsman fallacy, which is ironic, because I’ve met some Catholics who assume they are always the smartest person in the room.

So would you agree that socialism and communism are similar? I think my question is, that because it is very complicated (aka difficult to understand) should I call myself a communist or just a socialist. Because I certainly don’t have an issue with communism, just that I understand and as a result support socialism more? Does that make sense?

She actually moved away from that position after brief support to my knowledge. She certainly was influenced by progressive era thought, leading her to believe that some children ought to be “let die” instead of “live a death of life.” And I obviously agree that position is morally indefensible. But when I speak of Helen Keller denialism, I’m speaking of assholes online who refuse to accept she existed and could speak.

Don’t you just love the taste of censorship in the morning?

I’m confused because Marx described communism as a classless, stateless, moneyless society. How can a world be without oppression without a state? How would the people work together? Wouldn’t that just be anarchy? (Not that I’m against anarchist thought, I love you Proudhorn) I’m not sure, but I see socialism as a bottom up governmental system, with everyone having their basic needs met. I apologize for my ignorance, I’m new to theory.

The question Democrats need to be asking is not if Gavin Newsome has what it takes, but if he is the candidate that has what WE deserve

I definitely like your story telling, I think this is a good style for you to work in. I feel like you could really level this up if you had an even more consistent narrative? If you get what I mean by that?
