  • Peter Dutton to leave Coalition leaderless, conceding he has lost his seat of Dickson

  • Nobody wants to let Dutton be another Trump

    Trump is dismantling the US government so his billionaire friends can buy it. He's not building a global populist movement, he's siezed power and he's using it for petty, selfish ends. The whole world can see it plainly

    The rise of fascism in the US may have heralded worldwide rises in conservativism for a time, but now that Trump has absolute power, he's not bothering to hide his intentions. It's swung back the other way, now the US is making the world less fascist

    Fascism's win condition is always its own destruction. It's a death cult. It can't win worldwide because it promotes selfish leaders who sabotage the movement for personal enrichment

    It's gonna be okay, everyone

  • He's a god. An evil one. Humanity creates gods when they worship ideas. Donald Trump isn't a man, he's an idea, festering in the minds of millions of people. His power comes from that belief and reverence. His followers commit all these crimes in his name, and THAT is what it means to be a god.

  • YSK there's a web page where the defense team of Luigi Mangione shares updates about his case and dispels misinformation.

  • Did you know the world was protesting against Trump on inauguration day? Or was this news hidden from you?

  • I knew. I was at one of the protests.

  • Biologists rip Trump’s 'non-sensical' executive order declaring only 2 sexes

  • However, the law doesn't talk about genotype. It talks about gametes. Embryos don't produce gametes. The law does not specify a difference.

    How tankies struggle with abstract reasoning

    Jump

  • Of course I haven't solved philosophy with objectively correct positions. There's no such thing as objectivity. I believe that the idea of objectivity is a harmful one. All truth is subjective, and subjective truth is measured by good done and self-consistency. I'm interested in exploring the potential good to be done by criticising tankies' inability to ethically reason without empathy.

  • Perhaps it would seem less fantastic if you redefined your axes. Materalism is anti-science, and magic is a field of science.

  • They're very good at excuses, fallacies, and mental gymnastics. Those are reasoning too. Just not very advanced reasoning.

    It's been two months and she hasn't woken up gasping for breath since. It was a mind problem, so I fixed it in her mind. The imagination is the mind's development environment.

  • Kamala Harris Paid the Price for Not Breaking With Biden on Gaza, New Poll Shows

    Jump

  • I thought we were talking about the voters. Just two days ago, you suggested we reconsider voting for the lesser evil.

  • I think we've exhausted this part of the conversation. We don't know what's going to happen next term, because it's in the future. We've both made good arguments. Whether democracy will continue to exist is uncertain.

    I don't think the non-voters should have bet their entire country on a gamble like that.

  • On the other hand, I bet they would love to have a dictator THEY can control. Trump is very easy to manipulate. It's much cheaper to give Trump a bribe than to spend billions influencing the voters. Take Elon Musk, for example. He spent 44 billion dollars to control Twitter, and it didn't even work right. The platform is dying. 44 billion to control the internet's agora, and then he broke it with his incompetence. On the other hand, 277 million to buy Trump is a fantastic investment.

  • Sure, you get the worst option for one or two terms, but you would hopefully force the Democratic party to reform and stop supporting Genocides in the long term.

    I'm not entirely convinced that the USA still has terms.

  • Do you [favor or oppose] the Biden administration approving taxpayer-funded weapons and other military support to Israel, even if the U.S. government has no control over whether the Israeli military uses those weapons on innocent civilians in Gaza, or are you undecided?

    How much do you [agree or disagree] with the following statement: The $18 billion in weapons the U.S. provided to Israel over the last year, funded by taxpayer dollars, would be better spent lowering costs and supporting Americans dealing with inflation and struggling to afford basics like housing and healthcare.

    These questions inform the participant of basic facts about the DNC's strategy on Israel. So this survey provides a great look at what non-voters think of Harris when they're informed about the issues. But it doesn't actually tell us why they didn't vote, because it doesn't give us any information on how non-voters think when they're uninformed. And many non-voters were uninformed. This would be an excellent survey in a perfect world where people understand the consequences of their decisions, and it's a terrible survey in a world where people have no clue what their leaders are doing with their tax dollars.

  • This seems like a problem for immigration to solve.

    A worker shortage sounds great, though! That means higher wages and better working conditions.

    A worker shortage of this magnitude hasn’t happened since the years immediately after World War II, when the number of young men was reduced by death and disability, said Strohl and others.

    Awesome! Why is this article acting like a post-WWII economy is a bad thing? This is gonna be great!
