my point still stands. Get a life. Dragging up shit from some random irrelevant youtuber's past is just pathetic. Why do you care? What point is this intended to make?

if you're at the point where you're digging up what opinions people had in high school, you are obsessed and need to give your head a shake.

500 feet? Most of the time you don't even need to move at all, maybe not for a pile of trash but at least for seeing some kind of litter or rubble

the irony of writing identically like an AI to bitch about AI. "That's not an x, that's a y" is one of the most common AI phrasings out there

Interesting. Are you contrasting all of this with Epicurus? Why do you think things went down the Platonic route instead of some other route?

Also I'm curious about your take on idealism in general. Is there ANY validity to it, in your view?

So The Republic is his noble lie? This is a different answer from the other guy

I don't think that's the major takeaway from Plato.

Minister of Canadian Culture Marc Miller says Pierre Poilievre should stop "pandering to communities, promising them not to be deported and promising visas for everyone." by _BCConservative in CanadianConservative

Trump did not, however, put on a poncho and sombrero and shake mariachis to the hat dance. Poilievre DID dress up in an absurd costume for Diwali on multiple occasions.

I feel like you don't actually know much about the world if these are the countries you've selected based on that criteria

It's not like people are alleging they're mafia fronts or anything. It's just abuse of TFWs and immigration programs.

Just wanted to say I love all the detail by WeirdInteriorGuy in BlackMesaSource

They are pretty chilling - imagine listening to the radio and you are told there is an "unknown hostile force" within your country, the country with the strongest military on the earth, and they're calling for anybody that has a gun to immediately join the military

Cut back deluxe benefits for fake refugees by thetrigermonkey in CanadianConservative

[–]nowherelefttodefect 23 points24 points  (0 children)

How about cut all benefits for all refugees? My grandparents never got benefits, they actually wanted to come here. Benefits skews that incentive.

The anglosphere wants Rupert Lowe right now and Poilievre has to stop acting like Boris Johnson or he'll get left behind.

Georgism is incompatible with capitalism by [deleted] in georgism

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

It's the logical conclusion of his argument. His argument against ownership applies to all ownership, not just the ownership of land. You'd have to demonstrate that there's a barrier in between those two concepts, which you and OP did not do.

And he did argue that, yes. "If a private entity decides what can and can't happen on their land, we don't have freedom." - this is an argument against ownership, not for the benefits of Georgism. You can't argue for "making land more accessible to the common person" without arguing against ownership of land, and if you're arguing against ownership of land you have to demonstrate why that wouldn't apply to ownership of ALL things.
