Why do the 1st of May events not ban communist parties from participating? It's one of the reason I literally can't take interntional workers day seriously, at least here in Denmark. I walk into the park where they are setting up and instantly see a hammer and sickle...
English
@bokoen1 So we should be hounding the liberal parties, for how their Laissez-faire economics in the 1800's enabled, and was fine with child labour? Because i don't really think that logic is very fair to use against other people's political beliefs.

@ashkat_t @Rage_Crayon @TheSecretNinja3 @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl Oh come on, don't be harsh on yourself. I'm sure your brain isn't *that* small
English
@ashkat_t @Rage_Crayon @TheSecretNinja3 @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl ooh statistically? Please, show me the study from which you got that statistic. Oh right, you just pulled it out of your ass.
English
@Krokuke @Rage_Crayon @TheSecretNinja3 @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl statistically speaking, you're the one lacking discipline as a red button advocate
English
@ashkat_t @Rage_Crayon @TheSecretNinja3 @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl Indeed, but you lack the discipline to do either and will rather spend your time being pedantic about the question.
English
@Krokuke @Rage_Crayon @TheSecretNinja3 @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl that's a matter of principle and discipline, much like how pressing the blue button is a matter of principle and discipline
English
@ashkat_t @Rage_Crayon @TheSecretNinja3 @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl Yeah ok bro go argue with your mom about how you don't "have to" clean your room.
English
@Krokuke @Rage_Crayon @TheSecretNinja3 @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl this is where we differ. you take "have to" to mean that there's external coercion forcing you to choose. I take "have to" to mean that there's a simple compulsion against an unfavorable outcome, like how it'd be during American elections. we are not the same
English
@ashkat_t @Rage_Crayon @TheSecretNinja3 @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl Its. a. hypothetical. In a reasonable world you wouldn't have to write it like "Everyone on earth takes a private vote in a secluded room by pressing a red or blue button. There aren't any more options. If you don't do anything within 30 seconds then two armed men will come to...
English
@Krokuke @Rage_Crayon @TheSecretNinja3 @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl i don't know what to tell you, man. what are they gonna do if you don't make a choice?
English
@ashkat_t @Rage_Crayon @TheSecretNinja3 @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl It literally does not, are you braindead? He gave two clear options, and stated that you HAVE to choose between them. Your reading comprehension being below a 3rd grader isn't my problem.
English
@Krokuke @Rage_Crayon @TheSecretNinja3 @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl that still counts as doing nothing, which the numbers tell us was the more popular option
English
@ashkat_t @Rage_Crayon @TheSecretNinja3 @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl Yeah and he didn't say anything about me shitting over the two buttons and wiping my ass with them. What a stupid pedantic argument.
English
@Krokuke @Rage_Crayon @TheSecretNinja3 @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl at the same time, he doesn't say anything about Not doing nothing. given that this is a timed poll you can just run down the clock, and if it weren't timed, it'd never end because you can still just choose not to press either of the buttons
English
@ashkat_t @Rage_Crayon @TheSecretNinja3 @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl "Everyone in the world HAS to take a private vote by pressing a red OR blue button." I don't see where he said that you can just do nothing, there wasn't a third option given. I could also just say "I'd press both buttons at once" but it ruins the premise of the hypothetical.
English
@Krokuke @Rage_Crayon @TheSecretNinja3 @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl i'm not being a pedant, it's literally just the wording of the poll
x.com/waitbutwhy/sta…
Tim Urban@waitbutwhy
Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?
English
@ashkat_t @Rage_Crayon @TheSecretNinja3 @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl I don't know if you're being pedantic or just stupid
English
@Krokuke @Rage_Crayon @TheSecretNinja3 @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl I don't know what the other guy was talking about, saying that everyone is forced to press a button when the original prompt didn't say that, so my statement still stands
English
@ashkat_t @Rage_Crayon @TheSecretNinja3 @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl So now we're changing the hypothetical?
English
@Krokuke @Rage_Crayon @TheSecretNinja3 @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl that's because you're assuming that absolutely everyone will have pressed either of the two buttons, when realistically speaking there's a third, quite popular option, which is not pressing any of the buttons at all
English
@Rage_Crayon @TheSecretNinja3 @ashkat_t @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl Everyone has a chance to either be an idiot and put their lives in danger for no reason or push the red button and be fine. It ain't that hard, you're essentially creating a problem out of thin air by pushing the blue button.
English
@TheSecretNinja3 @Krokuke @ashkat_t @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl “It’s so easy we just need to get 100% of people on Earth to come to an identical conclusion to save everybody!” - serious argument people keep using
English
@ashkat_t @cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl Almost like pressing the blue button even though if everyone pressed red we'd be fine.
English
@cryptotriv @LocalSharkGirl that's because, with the buttons, you are jeopardized by the possibility of red winning. with the train, you aren't jeopardized to begin with. the people who tie themselves to the tracks jeopardize themselves by creating a problem that wasn't there to begin with
English
English
@Krokuke @750EaglePrime @Johnny_Butz @realsashastone The contradiction is you cant say the south stayed conservative which would encompass both parties but also claimed parties switched which would deny a north/south factor
English
Idiots who think Abe Lincoln was a liberal.

MAGA: conservatives have never been violent towards liberal presidents meanwhile reality:
English
@750EaglePrime @MrTellYouFacts @Johnny_Butz @realsashastone Umm yeah no shit? The party switch didn't happen in the 1860s but in the 1960s.
English
@Krokuke @MrTellYouFacts @Johnny_Butz @realsashastone I can guarantee every elected Republican in all 50 states both state government as well as federal would say they disagree with slavery still
English
@MrTellYouFacts @750EaglePrime @Johnny_Butz @realsashastone The North/South divide still exists, the parties also switched. There's no contradiction
English
@Krokuke @750EaglePrime @Johnny_Butz @realsashastone That would be inherently contradictory, either its parties or north/south, there was no switch, if you had to argue anything it was the democrats welfare slave state and running far to left to cultural marxism that switched starting the in the 60's
English
@750EaglePrime @MrTellYouFacts @Johnny_Butz @realsashastone Switched to what? They've always been conservative as I said. It's the parties whose ideology gradually switched around.
English
@Krokuke @MrTellYouFacts @Johnny_Butz @realsashastone So the parties didn’t switch, the South switched
English
@MrTellYouFacts @Johnny_Butz @750EaglePrime @realsashastone I think it's pretty obvious that the switch happened, the south has always been socially conservative and they vote for the party that holds these values. A 100 years ago these were the democrats, now it's the republicans.
English
@Krokuke @Johnny_Butz @750EaglePrime @realsashastone Whether you want to qualify it as north/south or that a higher percentage of repubs still proves it wasnt a party switch/repubs against civil rights issue, also no it wasnt in the same destructive capacity we have today, that started with LBJ's great society
English
@MrTellYouFacts @Johnny_Butz @750EaglePrime @realsashastone The CRA wasnt a republican-democrat divide, it was a north-south divide. The overwhelming majority of both northern republicans and democrats voted for it. The opposite was true for southern democrats and republicans. And the welfare state was here way before the party switch btw
English
@Johnny_Butz @750EaglePrime @realsashastone Because it didnt happen, higher percentage republican support for CRA 1964, read Thomas and Sowell, the "party flip" was a myth to justify the welfare state to enslave minorities
