The person who is prohibited from having guns in any space has less freedom. The freedom of knowing guns aren't allowed isn't a freedom of its own, but a constraint on actions. Con…

It's not just an American belief. USA has no MSS equivalent for starters. They don't have a Great Firewall. One can make their own independent party in the US (winning is a differe…

What are other private corps going to do when their main government just uses its military might to seize their assets?

Then we don't live in this Capitalism either. Corporations and governments cooperate , but most of the final power is on the government still.

In regards to socialist/communist confusion, OP primarily refers using the term "socialism", except at the end where they use "socialist communist countries", likely referring to t…

I don't think it's a tool for sowing division. There is a significant group of self-proclaimed socialists who proudly stan the Soviet Union and Mao's China, so I think it's more of…

Not sure why this comment is downvoted. In the context of Marxian Socialism and Command Economies, it's very much true that socialism is incompatible with free markets. Going even …

USD includes cash. In fact, cash is the preferred payment method for criminal things, contending with Monero, so complaining about its inclusion is certainly something. Going even …

You have it backwards, most cryptocurrencies transactions are, at best, pseudononymous, where, by contrast, cash transactions are anonymous by default. > What has society gained in…

It bears reminding that omission of a policy is a policy of its own. If the anti-abortion side is categorically proven to be the rational one after the pro-abortion side was implem…

Same to you. Yeah, it's pretty difficult to find a good faith discussion of these topics, so I take any opportunity I can get. Thanks for this one.

I also must disagree. Holding the "a permanently comatose human is not a person" and a "a fetus could be a person" aren't incompatible. The first statement presumes a definitive st…

The point is that we don't need to increase 0.11% back to 10%. Specially when the base numbers have significantly increased.

Except it is. In fact, the difference between alive and personhood and the point of transition are, fundamentally, the same issue: if the point of transition is considered the embr…

What I understood their point to be is that the only reason they are "false beliefs" is your own biases. If they aren't actual "false beliefs", then the restrictions on bodily auto…

Given what OP said, probably not: > There is no clear discrete point, other than insemination where it is not murder vs murder. Will you actually address this point?

Tbf, communism is indeed more broad than Hitler's Nazism, from pre-marxists to Proudhon ancoms (although a similar comment may be made about the common sense definition of Fascism)…

Thanks for restating what OP said.

Do they? Are you sure the high management knows who is a rapist or not? If so, I would like to see some evidence.

I have to disagree on fascism being this insidious bogeyman. While I agree that they ought to be fought against, IMO this is reaching into red scare territory (which is fitting, gi…

I didn't know the Catholic Church was promoting child rape.

1) fair enough, I was focusing on the original post; 2) disagree, the bar might be a pretty public place, so being allowed in is just the default; or they might have been personall…

That presumes: 1) that said bar knows everyone's political mindset, including those which haven't been made public; 2) that said bar actually treats said Nazi with decency; Also, m…

Apply it to reality, and things get muddy really quickly. The major issue is the "private ownership of the means of production". While some argue it's a recent development, others …
