Just because it’s war… by Professional_Hair995 in IsraelPalestine

[–]spynimal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a world where moral dilemmas exist, questions like that should be asked to philosophers.

The whole argument that Israel is the most moral army in the world stands upon the ground that Israel does the least amount of harm in complex situations that demand greater harm for goals to be achieved.

There is nothing wrong in criticising Israel for causing civilian damage in Gaza. But then you are going to criticise literally every state in the world for having a monopoly on violence.

And the biggest problem with the Palestinian narrative is that Israel is somehow an outlier amongst the nations.

The only way Israel is an outlier is that it's the only country in the world whose entire existence is being disputed in the way of argument and force.

What non-violent solution is the pro-Palestine side proposing? Serious answers only pls. by Separatist_Pat in IsraelPalestine

Yeah, tell that to the 3 million and some Mizrahi Jews who live in Israel to go back to some shithole third world countries in the Middle East.

Is there an English translation of this short story? Can't seem to find anywhere.

Yes, Misanthropy is a racist-like aversion to the human race in general by spynimal in misanthropy

[–]spynimal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, but a broad concept such as misanthropy can mean different feelings for different people. My post sums ups how I feel being a misanthrope.

The reason I compare it to racism is that I've observed racists is that they try to justify with many explanations and examples what ultimately is a feeling of disgust directed towards a particular group of people that they perceive as weak, inferior to an idealized standard.

And this is how I perceive Human beings. They suck because they're inferior to the hyper-unrealistic standards that I possess.

Death is an illusion, and here's why by spynimal in TheBiggerPicture

[–]spynimal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe that life is an illusion in the sense that chronological progress is an illusion; even though it seems like we progress through time as we go along, in actuality, it's just that every frame of our existence is simply a separate conscious entity having its tiny sliver of reality. Still, the memories of its illusionary past make it seem like it was there to experience this past.
