i guess its kind of funny but its sad that we kind of just have to ride out the fascism until it gets so bad people do a world war or more open organization for terrorism/civil war. it feels like society is eroding at the seems and the current power structure is intentionally trying to dismantle society to the point people start killing each other.

american society will never be "normal" ever again

hey could a mod put the op pic on this thread when this gets seen i forgot to upload it

trump can't stop ruining everything on earth, i love it

libs getting a minority lead was pretty predictable if you weren't surrounded by rabid conservatives and poilievre’s wimpy cult of “personality” … i think theres feffin

Well, he seems to win in the US at least, but at the expense of conservative victories in other nations

this was the wrong thread

wild opinion, nuclear proliferation dramatically increases the probability of misunderstanding or someone falsely assuming they can execute a "limited" exchange. The benefit extracted is that you don't see wars occurring as often... maybe? But you can get similar benefits by expanding the nuclear umbrellas of individual nations.

One Party States are generally better.

to be honest disasters like this are just about what I expected from the outgrowing surveillance and police infrastructure between the NSA, CIA, and increased militarization of police forces. it's strange to me that opposition to such trends have turned out stifled overall. the version of US history where the civil war was a thing that happened ~150 years ago and the resulting division has buffed out into a unified country. though recent events have made it clear that the anti-egalitarian motives of the confederacy have not been extinguished, but instead have been seething and waiting to upend this social order they find an affront when an opportunity for it presents itself

this is my impression as well. the reconstruction was given up on in order to preserve the peace, and now we reap as we have sown.

>>374767
it's amazing how we undid most of our civil war progress in broad daylight and then just mass forgot. like what the hell guys

>The left: a pesky and persecuted minority, always trying to invert the settled way of doing things, and usually making things difficult for everyone else.
He's just admitting he likes the current right wing.

kind of agreed and then it went off the rails into schizo territory. I do think woke 2 is coming but NEW IS ALWAYS BETTER

as someone who has worked in an ultra orthodox jewish community I cant imagine this person spent much time in such a community

I was going to add a serious reply, and then I realized this thread was actually made 2 months ago.

>How does liberal theorycrafting (and praxiscrafting for that matter) work?
the closest thing to a serious theoretical attempt at justifying modern liberalism is probably rawls (specifically A Theory of Justice)
the tl;dr is that you're supposed to imagine laying out the principles of societal organization while not knowing which position within that society you'll occupy, and he thinks if you do that the rule you'll end up following is trying to maximize how good the worst-off people in that society have it in absolute material terms, and concluding that it's fine if large inequalities exist so long as the worst-off are better off materially than they would be in the counterfactual where you didn't allow those inequalities
i'm not that familiar with leftist critiques of rawls, though i'm sure they must exist. nozick had some interesting criticisms from the (economic) right.

the whole reason America exists is cuz a bunch of businessmen didn’t like mercantilism and wanted more $$$, all the theory came after

>to some extent
to very little extent, most people choose a party that they dont agree on 95% of things with because the alternative is a party they dont agree on 96% of things with, not really a good representation of society at all

>>286644
it isn't

Cost of raising people is more than early screening and testing. It also stabilizes the system.

nope, but considering hegseth is more than likely gonna enforce the insurrection act come three days from now he seems to be the right man for the job

even if he's an incompetent moron he can still be a fascist, there aren't many qualifications to be a fascist

>>235242
fascism is so 20th century you need to get with the times and read some nick land
it's all about accelerationism and the dynamics of markets and capital and technology

test?

test @all
