Every time I see events like this happen, I get extremely skeptical of the idea that China will somehow replace the US as leader of the world. I’m not sure if I’m justified in thin…

I do think that a pacifist can stand up to violence, but I don’t think working in the defense industry is the way to do that. The more wars I study, the more I realize the genius o…

The opposite, in fact. I used to be mostly neutral about war, but now I would consider myself a borderline pacifist. After studying this war and its causes, I realized that it was …

There are many people that aren’t religious extremists who think that abortion is, at best, extremely morally problematic. It’s fundamentally a question about the definition of lif…

It’s not a minority view, both in the United States and in the world at large. I don’t quite understand why American progressives think they represent the world at large. Neo-colon…

It isn’t wrong legally and if anything, had the constitution been followed correctly, this decision is how it should have played out in the first place. It is only controversial be…

Most other first world nations have more restrictive laws on abortion. Yes, even Western Europe.

Yes frankly this website is not capable of entertaining certain contrarian ideas. Which of course are only contrarian in the narrow societal bubbles they occupy. I blame the downvo…

If you worked for Amazon, Facebook, Google, or a similar social media / adtech company, I think you’d be doing more real damage to society. The only difference is that these organi…

The whole region was chaotic for centuries. Poland invaded Russia at one point as well. Everyone pretty much invaded everyone else. Certainly no one was “justified” here, I just me…

The historical portion of this article is misleading and relies on Western people’s lack knowledge of the region. It makes you think that Sweden then was Sweden today, a neutral pe…

Interesting that at no point does anyone stop and think, “Gee, maybe tearing down every institution and social obligation in the name of individualist consumerism wasn’t a good ide…

There is an exact year: 2008. Two reasons: - Obama is elected with significant help from new social media tactics. Powerful interests realize that tech will shape the future of pol…

Sadly it feels like single purchase software is on its way out. All the momentum is toward SAAS.

Perhaps if you had invested your life savings into a business, which was then forced to be shut down, you would have more sympathy.

Yes well that’s the issue with utilitarianism and any other calculated ethical system. You can always justify some horrible things by saying “but we saved X more lives.”

Nitter.net is a life saver for this.

I have lost a lot of respect for certain very accomplished people because they tweet their hot takes on current issues constantly. I follow you because you’re an awesome musician/w…

Baltics are easily neutralized with taking the Suwalki gap. The Russians were also not happy with them joining NATO, but couldn’t do much about it. And Ukraine (Kievan Rus) is the …

The world isn’t a Marvel movie with good guys and bad guys. It’s more like Sicario: mostly bad guys with some innocent people caught in the crossfire.

I have studied this situation nonstop for the last week and I pretty much have the same opinion as you. If you ask a simple question, Cui bono? (Who benefits?) it becomes clear tha…

This article is straight up hatred propaganda and should be flagged. If you ever wondered how Americans of Japanese descent ended up in camps during WW2, now you know.

Getting employees to accept remote work was a brilliant reverse psychology move by companies. Now industry salaries will drop as it becomes acceptable to hire in low cost regions o…
