  1. So, my general feeling is that if a person chooses to support traitors and/or cowards, that is their right under the First Amendment. It just means any claims made must be evaluated in light of that support. I think both Antifa and the Proud boys are cowardly, and as a consequence support neither. Violence is always immoral; however there are circumstances where it is nevertheless necessary. For example, the case of the Allies in the Second World War, as mentioned above. I don’t see how that could be true in Charlottesville or Portland. Are there any good counter arguments to that?
  2. Sigh. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_Airmen
  3. A quick straw poll here: how many equate legality with morality?
  4. Thank goodness the Continental Army seized the airports during the Revolutionary War. Otherwise we might all be singing God Save the Queen at the start of our spoeting events. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D89YLHrZokw
  5. A 6.6 magnitude earthquake occurred 7.46mi SW of Searles Valley, CA. Yikes!
  6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJJhKEzgEGQ
  7. For those who enjoy a bit of light reading... https://www.thephilosopher1923.org/stanley
  8. Or panzers rolling in D.C.
  9. No, I’ll really be watching Stranger Things and not the Red Square re-enactment.
  10. On the bright side this thread reminds me that Stranger Things season 3 comes out tomorrow. Won’t be watching tanks damage the Lincoln Memorial.
  11. I would like to see Joe Kennedy, but it’s pretty clear he’s not interested (yet).
  12. “The man who raises a fist has run out of ideas.” - H.G. Wells We need some more and better ideas. Neither fascism nor anarchy are good ones, right? Can we agree on this?
  13. In your mind, that’s the only option? There’s a self fulfilling prophecy hiding in there somewhere.
  14. https://www.voanews.com/east-asia/us-salutes-heroes-tiananmen-square-protests-killed-chinese-soldiers
  15. I think it’s a pretty big stretch (as in Pinocchio’s nose) to describe the proud boys as “innocent.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proud_Boys
  16. I’ve gone to things like March for Science, and left that after it felt more like a lobbyist group than something that actually promoted science. I do find in the end I care more about the planet and the many disappearing species than the foolishness of Homo sapiens. We pretty much collectively suck.
  17. I believe in order to avoid breaking symmetry, you’re supposed to say “there are very fine people on both sides.” But seriously, it would be good if we found nonviolent means of expressing our disgust for one another.
  18. Unfortunately, these topics have become all conjoined in the real world and I don’t think you’ll easily disentangle them in the online world. On the bright side, we don’t throw milkshakes at one another.
  19. Huh, interesting. I, unsurprisingly, would have no issue with that. What I do take issue with is child molestation, and coverups thereof. The church has much still to answer for.
  20. The economy still favors the incumbent at the moment. https://www.npr.org/2019/06/29/737059959/democratic-debate-highlights-a-big-advantage-for-trump-its-the-economy
  21. If it wasn’t for the occasional ad-hom I might think I was on Facebook or Twitter instead.
  22. Wonder what the rule is if he just stopped at third.
