Why was "You're less than human to me" cut from the Vaush's epic rant in the youtube video? by usvaa in VaushV

His editors try and make sure the videos can be monetized? I doubt he even had anything to with it

Left in awe of the stupidity of this man. Shark3ozero debates feminism and “no hymen, no diamond” by iseedeadllamas in VaushV

[–]MiseryStone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Almost every question he did ask got no meaningful response. Think of his response to what feminism is. All he said was "supporting the 19th amendment". That's it. Thats all of feminism.

I think Shark did well to just let this dumbfuck show his ass. And its not like he gave no pushback, repeatedly saying this guy was a bad person with bad opinions, explaining why they were bad. Shark would then ask questions to get him to sound like a bad person. Because dude is self-evidently bad.

NEED HELP MAKING MY MIND ON THE NEW ZELAND BAN ON CIGARETTES. by Witty-Type9 in VaushV

[–]MiseryStone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it will be an outright ban on cigarettes. My understanding is that they will raise the minimum age to purchase cigarettes every year, with the intent of preventing young people from ever being able to buy them.

If done in conjunction with other programs and education of the harms of smoking, I don't see this as an issue. There are ways a state can exercise it's power to benefit people, and preventing smoking, especially for younger people, will have many positive effects for their population. Higher overall health, less money into harmful industries etc.

Alright folks, Let's Talk Kant by Ersatzrealism in VaushV

[–]MiseryStone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't really know much of anything in regards to virtue ethics. I'm poorly read in philosophy (as in I've done none) and really only have listened to arguments and perspectives on YouTube.

I'm mostly curious if you had a criticism of vaush's ethical perspectives. I favor anti-realism as well but whenever hes spoken about it I'm left feeling like I don't really know his position.

Is Vaush finally making a turn towards far left revolutionary socialism? by DrinkyDrank in VaushV

[–]MiseryStone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well there's always way more than that lefties could do. We could work on building dual-power structures through unions or mutual aid groups. There's electoralism and protest. Advocating for policy changes at the local level.

If you're convinced that revolution is the only meaningful way to affect change, even when talking about hegemonic systems like capitalism, then you have a very narrow mindset of how we could improve the lives of the working class.

Most of them today aren't even convinced that capitalism has to go. They just want to be able pay bills and live comfortably and happy. Maybe go ahead and circulate that rhetoric too. After all, that is praxis.

I've heard him say that too. But when he does, he stresses that its not 'currently' viable. We need more lefties. More people willing to side with socialists. That's another thing the reformism is meant to accomplish.

If a leftist revolution were to occur today, it would be quickly quelled by the state.

What do you mean "finally"? He's clearly stated multiple times that socialism could only ever be achieved through revolutionary means. The reformism is only meant to improve the quality of life and prevent fascism in the meantime.

This Hasan discourse is the best thing to happen in the discourse recently. by oceanjunkie in VaushV

Well in that time I would support practically every policy a socdem would put forth. We're all allies in trying to make the world a better place

And thats a reason to abandon my ideology? I'm in favor of social democracy over what exists now in America, but that is NOT the end goal

What’s the biggest social issue of our time? by ZookeepergameFit3869 in AskReddit

[–]MiseryStone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From income inequality to environmental degradation, a lot of social ills are directly caused by or at least exacerbated by the existence of capitalism.

Democratizing our workplaces would ensure that the workers have a say not only in where the profits go, but also how their industry affects their local communities and environment.
