White people don't want to discuss slavery but worship the Confederacy, which only existed to preserve slavery.

@JacksonWheat1 "Personal beliefs should have no impact on what a child learns."
I never know if statements like this are trolling or not.
English
Homeschooling should be banned. There are no good reasons for it. Even if a child has a deathly illness towards going outside, the state should still provide a teacher. Personal beliefs should have no impact on what a child learns.

Watching The Dinosaurs (2026) was so jarringly sad. Dinosaurs survived 165 million years on Earth, including 2 milion years of nonstop rain, only to be wiped out by a random asteroid. Meanwhile, modern humans have existed for only 300,000 years. Agriculture? 12,000. Civilization? 5,000. Industrial revolution? 250. Nuclear weapons and Al? Less than 100. In a tiny sliver of Earth's timeline we have already caused wars, mass extinction, and permanent damage to the planet. We are recklessly arrogant.

hit me with the harshest reality truth

@Strandjunker YES!!!!!!!
People should not be responsible for poor actions and we should punish those that provide for us.
SCREW YOU FARMERS! NO PROFIT FOR YOU!
English
Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Argentinian young professional: I voted for Milei and now I can't afford rent anywhere. I'll probably migrate out of the country, but I'll still never vote for the left.

Republicans will say we can't afford this, 2 seconds after wasting 50 billion dollars on a war that didn't achieve anything.

@peterboghossian If you already know everything, you do not need to speak with anyone that does not agree with you.
English
Willingness to speak with people who disagree with your political views has become a right-wing position.

@HistoryBoomer I like it when people can read my mind and let me know what I think.
E.g. I don't think that Republics are good, I just like pumpkin pie!
English
People defend the Electoral College for the same reason they defend pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving: tradition.
But tradition is no reason to keep two things that are bad for America.

There's no good civic argument for the electoral college. It was arguably necessary to ensure the ratification of the Constitution, but it's an anti-democratic device that gives some American citizens far more voting power than others, based purely on where they live.
English
This is genuinely what right wingers believe. The one held at gunpoint must remain completely calm and rational. But if the cop gets spooked by an acorn falling on the roof of a car, then he gets to unload on you because he “feared for his life”.

@DrRitaDed I like my idea better.
anyone making more than ME should be taxed 100%. If I can survive on what I make, so can anyone else.
English
Here's an idea.
Tax the rich.
Anyone earning over 180k per year should get taxed at 100%
No one needs to be earning that much. Redistribute the wealth.

@Scopuli @BobMurphyEcon @StefanMolyneux foreknowledge != predestination.
Humans have libertarian free will
English
@BobMurphyEcon @StefanMolyneux Then no free will, right? Pretty straightforward determinism if the outcome is already known by someone.
English
Does God know exactly what I will do tomorrow?
Simple question.
Yes or no?
ccznen 🇺🇸@ccznen
@StefanMolyneux Your thinking seems to assume God is a time-locked being, which is not the case. C. S. Lewis explains this well:

How can God punish you for what He knows ahead of time you're going to do?

The North wanted to amend the constitution to allow slavery.
The CSA wanted state sovereignty.
The North went to war to preserve the union.
Ergo, the Civil War was fought preserve the union.
This isn’t hard if you’re not stupid.
English
The North voted for the anti-slavery party. The South voted against the anti-slavery party. The North won the election. The South seceded to keep slavery. The North went to war to prevent the South from seceding.
Ergo, the Civil War was fought to end slavery.
This isn’t hard if you’re not stupid.
Andrew Hilary🇵🇸@AndrewHilaryUS
This is fucking insane. The civil war wasn’t to end slavery, it was to KEEP slavery.

@Accountable2019 Why is it bad for a private corporation to be 'rich' but good for the government to be 'rich'?
