Well, sure, but isn't that kind of a slippery slope? Because if everyone starts ignoring the peace treaty, then it's war. And war has casualties. How long before "I will not confirm your judge" escalates to "I will not sign any bill you propose unless it says exactly what I want it to" and that escalates to "Since they refuse to do their job, I don't care what the other branch thinks, this is law now and I will bribe and/or threaten the appropriate people to enforce it."

I've always found it disturbing that taking a swing at somebody is considered more uncivilized than politely informing someone that you have signed their death warrant. That robbing someone through violence is considered more uncivilized than crafting laws that compel them to hand you their belongings and starve. In both examples, at least with the former, you are taking a personal risk. But with the latter, you are simply hiding behind a shield, smugly confident that they cannot retaliate in kind.

I've found it disturbing too, although I did it against my will as part of my "civic duty." It's diffusion of responsibility by making multiple people make the decision. I didn't lock a man in a prison for life. I just signed the verdict that said the judge would be required to rule that he be locked in a prison for life with the approval of eleven other people. That's how it works.

This video is what I thought of, immediately, after the whole Ruth Ginsburg's replacement controversy started up. We have the parties seemingly reversed, this time. Trump in power and democrates are freaking out. Marches in streets shouting that they will riot. Journalists reporting on "dying last wish" from Ginsburg to not have her successor chosen by Trump. Pandemonium. Remember two years back, when Brent Kavenaugh was chosen and there was a whole witch hunt, WHOOPS! I mean, civilized trial, to determine if he was guilty of a r@pe from 36 years ago? There was so little evidence and and only the accuser's testimony was used - who everyone else disagreed with. The whole thing costed republicans the house majourity because they were seen as defending a r@pist. Again, there was no evidence to the alleged crime. Women voted in favour of Dems because of this narrative of Brent being J'cussed as evil, got into the mind of the normie voters. The Hypocrisy of these people are astounding. They'll stamp on your face and claim that you're one pummeling them and that you should start kissing the same boot they are stomping you with.

What I find annoying is that salt right bro flake nazi types are always the ones going "You're biased!" when that same obvious and stupid ass thing to say could be used on them even more so lol. Extremists tend to be on the right more so than on the left after all.

It means the British werent (for the most part, with one notable exception) willing to commit regular mass-murders of unarmed protesters on an entire sub-continent of hundreds of millions of people because they knew it would render it completely ungoverneable. Now, granted, there was some aspects of a growing free press, some ideals of democracy, and some religious and secular ideals of the value of human life - fair enough - but for the most part it came down to that the British empire knew it was probably better to let India peacefully slip from their grasp with relatively few losses overall, than start a potentially neverending occupational war with an entire goddamn subcontinent in insurgency.

Pro life was just to create a distraction from the fact that before pro-life (which wasn’t a big issue 30 years or so ago) they where focused on opposing desegregation. And they apparently realized that didn’t look good for them, but “defending the purity of life” was. Which I’m not “pro choice” I’m “pro-breathers”. Only the “pro-breathers” are about freedom, value of actual life, and preventing totalitarianism.

The problem is that we have too many leftist activists who describes anyone who disagree with them as alt-right. True alt-righters are not right wingers and are so few that one must search for them with a microscope. I hope you understand that the Right is only about the freedom of the individual to think what he wants and be what he is without tyranny. It's the opposite of judging people by their skin color or the practice of silencing others by force (Fascism).

@@yggorF When it comes to resources and power people only stop at the boundaries of law and contracts, that's why we have them. To willingly concede for morality is giving advantage to those who don't. It's like a country giving it's nukes to another country that surely would never harm them 30ish years down the road. But maybe ask Ukrain about that. Have you ever asked yourself why we have "moral". To me moral is an instinctual fear of repercussion. In stone age times people lived under no written law and under Communissm. The one that fished brought fish for all. The ones who hunted hunted for all. The ones who gathered did so for all. Why did that work, you might ask. Well, if they didn't they would have been eighter been beaten up or exiled (wich was basically a death sentence back then). The fear of social transgressions has thus been genetically ingrained into us. This is btw the reason why Japan is a way more collectivist society. They constantly had to deal with natural desasters. Everyone had to help to deal with these. The ones who didn't where shunned from society and left to their own devices. They did so probably until up to the meji restauration (end of 19th century), when they reopened their country after centuries of isolation. I leave it up to you where you put authority in that one.

Give it time...if anything this shows that on a long enough timeline, a large enough group of people with loose morals more concerned about being hateful together will always win over groups of people with tighter morals seeking compromise. We here in the U.S. are just a Canary in the coal mine...learn from us while we burn to the fucking ground.

This video came across as a stark rebuff to centrism. More and more I've been recognizing that centrism is a philosophical, or principled, position based on the notion that civility, due process and the refrain from calling a spot a spot (or a fascist a fascist) is morally superior to taking sides. Taking a side is considered engaging in tribe mentality and tribe mentality is considered primitive. And that's what being a centrist is all about: Elevating yourself above the rest by claiming that you embody a form of universal morality. Which is nonsense given that the core of any moral position rests in an emotional instinct. And instincts, are subjective. Being a centrist doesn't elevate one above the rest. It's an instinctive and tribal position. Going around preaching the virtues of bipartisanship, the moral arc, the free market of ideas, civility and unconditional free speech doesn't make you a neutral arbitrator, but rather the guy standing off to the side scoffing at everyone going "Come on guys, can't we be nice?" I like Obama because he's a smart, charismatic guy with socially liberal stances. But I also see him for the self-righteous, condescending centrist that he is. He can't give a speech without preaching the virtues of bipartisanship to save his life. He fails to acknowledge the writing on the wall. If you think it'd be wrong to be bipartisan and civil with the Nazi Party of Germany, then why do you think it's a virtue to be bipartisan and civil with the modern day GOP? Conservatism can theoretically be the voice of caution, but that's not what it is in America today. Wishing for it to change and leading by example won't change the monster that it's become. Republicans left team America a long time ago. It's team Fuhrer Trump or bust.

Centrism is a facade to hide the real motivator which is donor money. Donor money drives the establishment. If you want to know where a centrist stands just look to see where his donors stand. Unfortunately, Obama took the big money from Wall Street and did their bidding.

Kristen Johnson this is a worthy debate to have. But once that debate is over (when there is only one candidate left who has a path to winning), we should all be working to coalesce around power, or else we will not take power.

@@BuddleDuddle That's not really the problem, is it? Even if centrism would be the best tactic to win, for many democrats it is not just a tactic but their political philosophy. It does not really help to win elections through centrism and then govern after the same principles, achieving next to nothing.

Say what you will about Biden being a centrist instead of a liberal (true), but for all of his open talk about "working across the aisle", behind the scenes he has done a surprisingly good job of sneaking stuff past Republicans when they aren't paying attention.
