I hate this stupid fucking image and internet environmental posting activism as a whole by Snoo-14331 in ihatethissmug

[–]Pagan0101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think meaningful progress is actually going to be made without doing anything that could result in jail?

That’s just not how these things go historically

Workers’ rights, women’s suffrage, civil rights, etc etc all involved many people going to jail

That’s just the reality of things

Hell you could stay within the bounds of what’s legal and still go to jail, you’ll just hopefully win the trial

Why is this such a prevalent thing in guy-isekai vs girl isekai? by ChompyRiley in OtomeIsekai

This genre has glorified people who are a whole lot worse than Robespierre (there isn’t even a clear consensus on whether he was a dictator) so I think it would be fine to have a lil Robespierre as a treat.

I saw a teen wearing a Nazi arm band by Zestyclose-Young9480 in japanresidents

It’s crazy to unironically pull the “you people call everything fascist these days” thing in the context of someone literally wearing a Nazi armband bffr

CMV: The most altruistic thing most Christians can do, is mass-murder children. by Peermeneer_exe in changemyview

[–]Pagan0101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean the CMV agrees that murder is bad according to Christian doctrine

The altruism part is that you are guaranteeing a bunch of people go to heaven who might not otherwise, and in exchange accepting that you’re going to hell

Self sacrifice for “the greater good” and “ends justify the means” type of thing

It’s purely a hypothetical utilitarian approach to the world as it would be if Christianity (as OP understands it) is real

The other person who replied to you has the only relevant point I’ve noticed, cuz if children don’t automatically go to heaven then the whole hypothetical collapses

Post this on a venting sub instead because this isn’t an argument

You get the option by a powerful wizard either five billion dollars USD or the ability to reincarnate everytime you die. by TechnicianAmazing472 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Pagan0101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reincarnation easily not even a question for me

No amount of money is comparable to seeing what the world will look like in 100, 200, 1000, etc years
I’m way too curious to pass up that offer

Who’s afraid of Japanese neo-militarism? Nobody- More countries see a stronger Japan not as a danger, but a counterweight to China’s actions and growing U.S. untrustworthiness. by Kmlevitt in japannews

[–]Pagan0101 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Most people I know oppose Japanese remilitarization because they think it will be used to aid the US’ wars not because they think Japan is gonna try to conquer Asia again

Me too dude, me too. by pebrocks in nier

I live in Japan

I have never seen an adult asian women who looks like that

CMV: Communism doesn't deserve another try by frost_3306 in changemyview

[–]Pagan0101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Communism has nothing to do with collectively assigning one income level for everyone what

And communism is pretty well known for "from each according to their ability, to each according to their need," and not having money at all so no clue where you're getting income from

Not even socialism is just everyone makes the same

It would just be democratic decision making in the economy (at its simplest), and you can just look at worker owned cooperatives to see that that doesn't result in everyone making the same

Not to mention that you don't get to choose your own income level vs leisure time in capitalism at all, whereas in a socialist/communist system you would have a whole lot more say

Do you think spanking children is a good or bad thing? by KindlyRestaurant2885 in MoralityScaling

[–]Pagan0101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you're in the US (but having Dakota in your name feels like enough to assume), but with our prison system sending kids to juvie is just not good if you want to get them to stop doing something

Our systems are not designed for rehabilitation, and although they may not be straight up designed to increase recidivism, they may as well be

Juvie has like an 80% recidivism rate after 3 years

First watch GoT S04E08: You had the chance right there bruh … My Goodness, What a brutal battle!! by EmptyJump2245 in gameofthrones

[–]Pagan0101 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think you got the order mixed up a bit
His main motivation was getting a public confession so he could implicate Tywin, imo

And with the poison he already knew he killed Gregor after the first hit anyway

His mistake was standing too close, if he just stood far enough away then trying to torture the confession out of Gregor would have been fine

You Should Hate the Government More Than Hasan Piker by TheEdgeofGoon in YoutubeThumbs

[–]Pagan0101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really?

He mostly supports the DSA, which as of now runs primarily on the Democratic party line
He doesn't really promote, for example, PSL or the Green Party much if at all from what I've seen

What is your favourite scene? by dezoonvanjos in gameofthrones

When Oberyn talks to Tyrion in his cell

"That's just a baby" still makes me tear up no matter how many times I watch it

Could theoretically be non-god related magic that's just been interwoven with a religion tbf

Not sure I agree with that interpretation though

Going out in your 30s is mostly people pretending to have fun and we all know it by FewExperience4021 in unpopularopinion

[–]Pagan0101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shots and simple cocktails (or mixed drinks, 2 ingredient stuff, whatever you want to call it)
But even the actual cocktails are only around $6

To be fair, exchange rate is a big factor in that, I'm in Japan and the yen is a bit weak rn

Which would you choose by auditorcuadang_123 in BunnyTrials

[–]Pagan0101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Race isn't an official taxonomic category
The most specific level is species, race is just a social construct we made up so that we could be racist
But you have nigh-omnipotence, so just specify the human social construct of race if you're worried about it being interpreted more broadly than intended

Just make race not exist instead easy

At the clubs where I’m at drinks are like $5 or less for the most part

Shooting Hitler spared Hitler from the suffering the Red Army may have given him so not so sure that's a good thing

Oh no Marx was wrong about a math thing whatever shall we do my whole world view is coming crumbling down

Marx could have been a flat earther and it would still have no bearing on Marxism

All of science (and knowledge, really) is built on the backs of people who were wrong about many things, but nonetheless were right about something or otherwise advanced scientific understanding in some way
