Everything was philosophy before it was science. Science became science because we came to a shared understanding and developed a shared framework. It is entirely possible - though extraordinarily (cannot be emphasized enough) unlikely - that in the future, we will have a shared framework that "is agreed upon by all reasonable people" that defines the words "crime" and "law" in a manner that is objectively testable within that framework. One could certainly argue that we shouldn't. And that would be a strong argument to make. To say that we can't, is technically not true. To say that we won't, is a very strong bet. One of the reasons people might reasonably reject that, is because there is no shared common definition. If there was a clear definition, built with terms that were also clearly defined, it would be more reasonable for people to agree. To the extent that there is any ambiguity in terms across different social groups (e.g., "state", or "anarchism") simply provide different words and definitions for every meaning, or simply avoid using existing words that have any ambiguity at all. Eventually every known meaning of every word would be defined and ambiguity would be near non existent (to the point of "science"). It would be a difficult language to learn certainly, and not very practical, but it's not theoretically impossible.

I second the motion.

The answer is they were both right. Yes, that's strange, but truth tends to be stranger than fiction.

..

Yeah, that was my take too. More or less. More like, He's exposing the devil for those with eyes to see.

The party of civil liberties...? Some boomers still think so.

Sometimes a plan does just come together. Now, then. Wouldn't it be crazy if FEMA just happened to try to starve these particular victims out, with a response far, far different than what we've seen after, say f'rinstance, Sandy?

Seconded.

My thoughts exactly

Why would a Pro-Ukrainian message get a community note? At least back when I was following this (pre-Musk-takeover), it was only pro-Russian messages that got censored (post would be removed and author usually banned, certainly not a "community note")

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see how he's channeling Ron Paul. Is there a clip with additional context that I'm missing? My understanding is that when Trump says that "it wouldnt have happened" under his Presidency, its because Trump believes he is intimidating and other countries are scared to cross him. And that may or may not be true, but what is true, is that the 2nd Minsk agreement was broken during his Presidency, which is what directly led to the war in Ukraine. He certainly didn't seem to care about any of this back then. Either way, I'm totally missing the Ron Paul vibe on this one.

Sure, it's clear now that you've explained it. I hope it's also clear that whatever deflections AF may or may not be guilty of, does not really have much relevance to my posts? The point still stands that when white people shoot up schools, they are universally demonized (universal minus AF who apparently deflects on the issue).

Ah, the Jews. Something we can agree on :cool:

Apparently. But in my defense, your point made very little sense - and still doesn't, and requires clarification. I'm not gonna try to decode whatever hidden meaning you were trying to imply. Just say what you meant to say.

Well I certainly agree with their first, and presumably most important point, that people should be allowed to unify based on self determination. (At the time, such unification was prohibited by Treaty of Versailles and some other treaty(s))

Ok so "white people" basically. That's not a very specific club. But I guess at the end of the day, white people as a group are ultimately responsible for everything in the world (not even being sarcastic) based on the group's wealth and influence. If you really want to get specific about wealth and influence, we could start talking about "the Jews" but I'm sure we can leave that tangent for another thread.

What deflection are you referring to, besides perhaps your own? Where have I deflected? I made a point about the black culture of violence, you deflected and tried to make it about white people, I addressed your points, and then again you deflected and tried to make it about white people again. Who's funding it? White people. Who's doing it? Black people. Who is more responsible for it? I don't give a shit but the culture of violence needs to stop and both parties need to be called out on it.

If the Jews were anything then like they are now, perhaps they were right to place at least some blame on that particular ethnicity.

Two separate foundations, as far as I can tell.

The difference is, no one is making excuses for the white kids who shoot up schools. They are universally demonized. If people universally demonized black communities culture of violence, perhaps there wouldn't be so many black thugs killing each other in the hood.

Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

It was created to do false flag operations. Israel is socialist. Immigrants can never own land. The only landowners besides the government inherited their land. Most of this land is owned by Muslims, with some Orthodox Christians mixed in too. There's natural gas under Gaza's shoreline. How does one drive down property values and convince people to sell? The beaches would also be useful to Israel's burgeoning gay tourism business. They can do it to Maui, but they can't do it to Gaza? Why do you suddenly only believe Official MSM conspiracy theories?

He got the right weapon, but he insists on holding it the usual way. Amazing how he can still be surprised what happens next...

Which people is that?

Sure, music is one part of the ecosystem of violence, I guess you could call it. Rap music, prison culture, gang culture, thug culture, it's all intertwined for sure and I'm not educated enough in the history of the origins of it to say what came first but certainly all of these elements of culture serve to basically reinforce each other and maintain the overall culture of violence I was referring to. To the extent that white people have financial interests in these things, it's still not an excuse for thug violent behavior. Yes, white people condone this culture/behavior. Yes, white people profit off this culture/behavior. None of these things are valid excuses for committing violence. With that said, I absolutely agree that white people should be called out for this shit. We condone it, we coddle it, and as you have pointed out, we profit from it, and all of that absolutely should be called out. Some people have, and continue to call that out. Not enough people do, and not often enough. Regardless of the role that white people play in the black's culture of violence, it is ultimately the black's culture of violence. It is their culture, their communities, their people doing it. This blame cannot be shifted away. So yes, white people should be called out for enabling this shit. But it is black people doing it. The culture of violence needs to be called out from every angle. As you've demonstrated, people are not afraid to blame white people for it. But people should not be afraid to blame black people for it either. Both parties need to be called out for their role in promoting it. Right now only one party (white people) is being actively called out - and not called out enough.
