So carney just won, looks like the ndp lost most of their seats, jagmeet lost his riding and has stepped down, greens lost one of the seats but Elisabeth may kept her riding on the gulf islands… ontario lost all its ndp ridings, including some that were ndp for over 20 years…
Some surprises…
The political landscape looks pretty stupid.
Are you operating on a level of bullshit that no one understands? Or so outside mainstream political theory that you trigger everyone?
Post your political theories/takes ITT that trigger Earth.

Specifically children with cancer.
They didn't even wait for the birthright citizenship law, just went ahead and did it illegally.
I am worried what these means for other "undesirable" American citizens in addition to all American Hispanics. Not sure what to make of the implications for future illegal policies though.
Discuss.

How exactly does liberalism work compared to other leftist sects? Does it use dialectics? How does liberal theorycrafting (and praxiscrafting for that matter) work?

>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

yea same, america IS a business, what are they talking about?
Pic related, but also if you were to look at recent polling (especially out of South Korea), you can see a gender divide where younger men seem to be more attracted to far right/right wing populist parties.
While stories as extreme as picrel aren't terribly common, whenever anyone brings this problem up, the answers are almost always censorship or "they need to be raised better."
Maybe that will work with children, but as the polling shows, many adults are like this too, and all censorship will do for them is make them feel even more vindicated.
Thoughts on this?

>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

Cost of raising people is more than early screening and testing. It also stabilizes the system.
so is the userbase here actually mostly liberals, or is it further to the left than that?

Like why do people just put up with a system that produces such objectively bad results. We are given such a bad choice of candidates and parties… in America there is the two party system, whats going to happen when it becomes a one party system? Things always get split if theres more.
Its like no one really fucking knows whats going on- in politics, in their community, in their lives, theres a special kind of apathy and ignorance. And some if those people still vote. And thats the only way they will ever engage with politics.
there doesn’t seem to be a realistic way out, things are good enough, people done care enough about others, and you might get attacked and lose a lot and be hated for trying
