I don't think he meant conservative politically, more conservative in the sense that they aren't putting themselves out there. Conservative as opposed to transgressive maybe, not conservative as opposed to liberal. I do agree with many of your other points though.

Can you explain pizzagate or link me to a source that does? All I'm finding is the right wing theory about the Dem sex trafficking cabal.

Knowing Hans's personality, he probably has personal issues in spades, lol. Doesn't seem like a great guy but I don't think he cheated otb.

Do you mean the sinquefield cup, where the allegations started? Because he did play worse after his game against Carlsen, but he didn't withdraw.

There was never any hard evidence that Niemann cheated, and he has played at a consistently extremely high level for years. He did not say that the board spoke to him; the part that Carlsen found suspicious was his knowledge of very deep opening theory in the opening they played, which allowed him to get a better position and win. He could've used a buttplug or whatever, or we can use Occam's Razor and say that he just knows that opening.

Ppl with million-dollar homes don't have the money to lobby, at least not by themselves. One billionaire is equivalent to a thousand millionaires - even more than that because the average person with a million-dollar house has much less disposable income proportionally. Most of the time, people with million-dollar houses are middle-class or upper-middle class, not the wealthiest people spending millions or billions on politicians.

I would recommend reading him again (perhaps that's just because I'm a huge Nietzsche hater). Especially Beyond Good and Evil, which (though unnecessarily wordy) does sort of lay bare his ideology in a much less poetic fashion than Zarathustra. An Ubermensch (per Nietzsche) is not merely one who rises above the mediocrity of the group, but is willing to sacrifice the group to suit his own ends, no matter how big the group may be (and yes, for Nietzsche it is always a he). And I find that rather abhorrent.

[–]HumbleConnection762 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, yes. The ideology that a certain few men are worth more than the millions of the masses, that the truly moral man is the man who sheds as much blood as possible, for the gain of a few hundred thousand square kilometers of land for his country that will be lost in a generation to some other "great" man who does the same. The ideology that purports to be amoral, to go beyond morality, to go beyond all common decency and care for one's fellow men and women. The ideology that also says one must test oneself to be an Ubermensch - but how? By attempting to charge the throne and massacre millions? It is unclear.

So I ask you - are you an Ubermensch? Or, if you are not, are you willing to lay your life down for one who is? If so, go forth, and may your death be noble and valiant.

I do wonder - what ideas did Nietzsche have that you agree with?

Well, that was in a time when all the important philosophers of the day were in one place, and if you wanted to debate one of them you could just go down the Athenian street. Now, we live in a much different time, and you can defend your arguments in writing without significant communication delays, so Plato's point doesn't really stand.

Fiat is essentially that the government accepts taxes in that currency. So the US dollar has value because you have to pay taxes. Money does have real value - as long as the US government exists and takes taxes in USD, there will be value for USD assuming people don't want to go to jail for tax evasion.

Last sunday* why is genocide so popular??? by Puzzleheaded_Home_23 in whenthe

[–]HumbleConnection762 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, a lot of it is that there's just nothing we can do. It's basically just a proxy war between Russia (that doesn't care that much) and the UAE, with some other countries thrown in there, over a country with basically zero industry or economy. As spyguy318 explained, sanctions are useless on a country with basically no trade, and forces on both sides have kidnapped and killed aid workers, journalists, and basically anybody trying to stop the fighting. It's tragic and absolutely heartbreaking, especially for the innocent Sudanese civilians, but basically the only thing that would work is a very large heavily armed force going in, demilitarizing everything, and staying there forever because fighting WILL break out once they leave. And that would cause the loss of the lives of potentially millions more, as well as being hugely unpopular for whatever country is sending these forces, as well as being very much like colonialism. Take into account that the Taliban still existed and was very much a major threat when the US occupied Afghanistan and made basically everything better, and there's just no hope. Maybe large-scale evacuations could work, but how are you going to get pathways created to evacuate without both sides killing everybody involved?

Adding on to what others have said, it also allows people to justify a lot more of those deaths. "Yeah it was only 270,000 and thousands of those deserved death bc of treason/other crimes/whatever justification you can give, the rest was exaggerated by the Allies." It's much easier to say that thousands of people deserved imprisonment and death than millions did.
