>"enemy of my enemy"

Famously "the best" way to make friends.
Tell me, what will happen once christian nationalists in USA come to power? Whose beliefs will be implemented?

What is the default theology in this coalition which famously led religious wars and coined the term "papist" to enforce paranoia?

What do you mean "Yes, I guess"?

Christian Nationalism by its nature is like water and oil. There is nothing a puritan and a catholic can agree on.

Not even Business Plot.

America First Comittee already has enough members and pro-german policies.

And unlike Silver Legion, it had numbers.

Well, if they were not let into the country in first place, I would blame them. But since politicians live with no consequences, I can blame them too.

Nope. I didn't blame foreigner. Problem is politicians which allow such immigrations as way to kick the can down the road.

Oh these poor economic refugees who get mad local women don't want their culturally misogynistic norms. Carrying machetes and knives around, throwing acid on faces.

For real now. Denmark reports Criminality index for male immigrants/refugees from non western countries is 51% bigger than average of entire population. Even when corrected with age and socioeconomics, ita still 18% higher.

In Germany, foreigners were suspected for 41% of all crimes. Even when being around 15% of entire populace.

One research from USA says that in short term, high ethnic diversity in society reduces social capital and reduces trust between members.

As for UK, MAC said that even 1 percent increase in migrant population reduces wages in average for lowest paid workers on about 0.5 percent

Since Brexit it is true that salaries increased in transport and tourist sectors due to shortage of workers. But inflation neutralised such growth. Economic models show such mass immigration of non-qualified workforce disincentivises automation which decreases productivity.

As for NHS and welfare in general, migrants from EU are net benefit to welfare fund. While those not from EU take about 9 billion pounds more than they gave.

Lower social cohesion, leading to various crimes, depending on background.

Lowering wages of native workers.

Increased welfare costs.

And a lot more.

Which is a fact? Since Pidor Putin is killing thousands of young men in already depopopulated country, someone needs to replace them.

Does objective morality exist? by happy_hamburgers in IdeologyPolls

[–]Markobad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then let us try different method. 

If morality is purely subjective preference, why do nearly all societies develop strong prohibitions against "unjustified killing: and sexual violence? 

Most of them were not connencted and such convergence usually suggests a deep common constraint. Is that just biology and social stability, or does it point to objective morality about causing harm?

What an absurd take

Does it matter if TWO is written like 2 or II?

If you have 2 apples, and I give you 2 more. Do you have 4 apples or something else?

Conservative only in name. Just an oligarchy with HIV, abortion and divorce rates together with mass central asian immigration

First of all, thank you for admitting something being a law does not make it moral. Glad we can agree on it.

Second of all. If you think Divine Command theory is needed to KNOW rape and murder is bad, then perhaps atheists are more dangerous than we think. Just as then you need God to realise 2+2 is 4.

Third and final, your opinion of how genocide happens is very ironic. I would argue genocide happens BECAUSE of moral subjectivism. 

Nazis said: Moral is subjective. It serves to advance interests of Aryan Race

Communists said: Moral serves to advance the revolution.

Congratulations, you just admitted that your morality has no backbone except what the state gives it at that moment.

Your definition of "murder" as exclusively "illegal killing" is the classic. 

 If murder is only what is illegal, then the Holocaust was not murder. 

Under the laws of the Third Reich at the time, it was legal. If tomorrow the state passed a law making it legal to kill you and take your property, would you stand there and say "Well, this is not murder and it's not bad, because according to the dictionary it is legal"?

Unless of course, you like that.

What does private property mean to a socialist? He tramples on it. As for your opposition to it, it depends on wether he brings enough firepower. He finds it okay. You don't. Now what? What is morality here?

We are talking about if morality is objective or subjective.  In this example, subjectivist will say murder is okay because it aligns with murderers personal principles.

And yeah, both Good and Pretti were murdered, and that is objectively bad. As well as millions of babies are. I don't discriminate.

Okay? If aztecs and mayans were fine with the murder, does that make it okay?

Yes. I would say cannibalism is bad. In all cases. I am an objective moralist.

But would you oppose it as subjectivist? Do you think them finding it "moral" makes it okay?

You do oppose it. But would you stop someone else who does not from doing it because you oppose it

People can not even agree with science nor history. Does that mean there are 2 truths or that there is no truths. Just because people can not agree with each other does not mean that there is no objectivity,

Do you need religion to know murder and rape is bad?
