I would create a broad web of protection for animals, especially the ones in danger of extinction and also domestic animals (in danger of being left by their owners or in danger of suffering cruel treatment).

Fund more no kill policy shelters, we need to get control of the system. Which should include spading, nuterizing, and having no kill shelters.

Democracy and Creationism

Dear lord you act surprised when being called a bigot and then spout this utter bull. Let’s start from the beginning, you assume the intent of gay people as if you understand them in the slightest, but in this conversation alone, you have called them delusional, “cultists”, “abominable” (their “practices” at the very least), and as far as calling their legalization propaganda. I am LGBTQ myself, I have talked to THOUSANDS of that population, and they’re just want to live happily, that’s all they really want. The reason pride parades happen…  Read more

 @Patriot-#17761Y

That's a mouthful of fallacies. Let's examine them. "spout this utter bull." That's begging the question because the notion that it is utter bull has not yet been logically established, indeed that's the very point in question. "You assume the intention gay people as if you understand them in the slightest." Well, you're also kind of assuming the intention of conservatives by smearing them as bigots motivated by prejudice, when, in fact, they are realists motivated by a desire for the truth to be known and virtue to be encouraged. So appealing to…  Read more

Socialism vs. Libertarianism

The conversation involves a heated debate between two users on the compatibility of socialism and libertarianism, touching on Marxist theory, the nature of communism, and the historical consequences of both socialist and capitalist ideologies.

Which political ideology do you most identify with?

Libertarian Socialism. Libertarian Socialism is a political philosophy that advocates for the abolition of both the state and capitalism, favoring a society bas…

 @9CJ6CB61Y

Ohoh this is MY territory. Socialism itself runs off of communal, public, or social ownership of the means of production, and Marxist theory itself merely sees government as a tool to make it work overtime, gradually shrinking as the economy changes. Marx himself WAS a libertarian socialist, an extremely libertarian one at that, and a lot of his models and theories were the building blocks for working nations. The constant misinformed narrative of socialism as authoritarian comes from those nations centralizing and imbuing power into the government to handle the economic issues that OTHER nat…  Read more

YOUR ideology killed one hundred million people in the sense that the SOCIALIST USSR under Lenin & Stalin had one hundred million people worked to death or executed. Preventable starvation is the fault of decolonisation in Africa, not to mention socialist policies, police killings that are unjustified amount to just a couple per year (hardly twenty million, and Alcatraz and Guantanamo are state-funded and unconstitutional, making them anti-free-market. I in fact opposed the Bush Administration's Iraq policies of war, and imprisonment.

 @9CJ6CB61Y

That doesn’t change what happened in the name of your economic and political system, the same way as it doesn’t for socialism, the deaths overall tallied do lean STRONGLY towards capitalism being the greater killer, from the Indian genocides, to the colonization and forced warfare of the entire planet, the brutal attacks against other capitalist countries, the numbers stack dramatically overtime, if the government actions in capitalism don’t apply to the statistics in my argument, then what happens outside of government interference doesn’t pertain to it either. Since,…  Read more

Winston Churchill was one of the greatest men who ever lived! He saved not only his nation and Empire but also the Christian Civilisation! I have read Andrew Robert's 1100-page biography of him and clearly this man was not the deranged racist you leftists love to paint him as. He had indomitable courage, unshakable conviction, and dogged tenacity. His magnetic leadership skills, inspiration of his people, and oratorical brilliant have scare been paralleled in human history! He led Britain through the horrors of the Blitz, stood equally firm against the two evil socialist dictators of Hit…  Read more

I was also referring to Churchill as a person, not in the war effort.

 @Patriot-#17761Y

And I was referring to Churchill as a person too, he was a wonderful, hilarious, delightfully sarcastic man, an electrifying orator, a courageous fighter for freedom, a brilliant thinker, and in general one of the most interesting men in history. This is coming from 50+ hours of studying him, btw

Anarchism, Constitution and Decentralization

Which political ideology do you most identify with?

Anarchism. Anarchism is a political ideology that fundamentally opposes the idea of a centralized state or government, advocating instead for a society based on…

@P0llingPlaceMussel7MO

Anarchism is about eliminating centralized authority.

Communities should rely on decentralized, voluntary associations to resolve conflicts and protect rights. Without centralized power, individuals and groups would be incentivized to cooperate and create mutual aid networks, fostering a culture of respect and collective responsibility.

For example, during the Spanish Revolution of 1936, many communities in Catalonia and Aragon successfully implemented systems of direct democracy and collective ownership. These communities managed to function without a central government, relying instead on…  Read more

@CommonMan7MO

So what I mean is, what if there is a deep conflict between the majority and the minority in that direct democratic ‘voluntary association’? In modern democracy, the majority can prevent excessive oppression of the minority by guaranteeing minimum human rights through law. However, since there is no such law in anarchism, wouldn't the majority be able to oppress the minority if they wish?

@P0llingPlaceMussel7MO

The idea is to prevent any one group from accumulating too much power. In theory, this structure would stop the majority from having the power or ability to oppress the minority.

An example is the Zapatista communities in Chiapas, Mexico. They’ve created a system of autonomous governance where decisions are made collectively through consensus, ensuring that minority voices are heard and respected. This decentralized approach spreads power across various local councils, reducing the risk of any single group dominating.

Key here is the culture of mutual respect and solidarity fostered withi…  Read more

Cultural Morality

The conversation involves a debate on the morality of different cultures, comparing Western Christian cultures with American Indian and African Zulu cultures, and discussing historical atrocities.

Which political ideology do you most identify with?

National Conservatism. National Conservatism is a political ideology that emphasizes the preservation and promotion of national interests and cultural identity …

 @Patriot-#17768MO

Some cultures are objectively worse than others, such as the cultures of the American Indians and the African Zulus. The American Indians, for example, hacked women and children to death in front of their husbands and fathers, drank their blood, and proudly displayed their scalps, which they viciously cut off with their tomahawks. The African Zulus were always at war with each other and slaughtered entire villages, burning their victims alive and then eating them. Those cultures were objectively savage and barbaric cultures. Western Christian cultures were objectively far, far better and more civilised.

@PragmaticGecko8MO

I just gave examples that prove they were just as barbaric. Now, I don’t even have to prove that Christians cultures have killed more than Native American and African Zulu cultures because it’s such an obvious objective historical fact. You are being intellectually dishonest if you can’t admit that.

 @Patriot-#17768MO

But why did they war with the Indians and Zulus? Because they did this hellish demonic barbaric things to women and children – because they burnt, they raped, the privileged, they mutilated, they cannibalised, they drank blood. Resorting to name-calling doesn't change any of that. Just because someone points out facts inconvenient to the narrative you've received all your life and embarrassing to your positions does not make him "intellectually dishonest." I made points, you made points, this is how debates work. So let's drop the fallacies, drop the name-calling, and resolve this issue in a civilised manner. I would love it if you actually addressed what I had to say, but I'm pretty sure you're an AI bot (no offence if you aren't) so I guess it's not that important...

You claim this website is not for emotional ranting yet any argument you've ever participated in is you having a bigotry tantrum.

so i could put private part paintings because " a lot of children don't even know what it means"

 @Renaldo-Moon4MO

There's a clear and obvious difference here.

Acknowledging the existence of LGBTQ+ people is not harmful and will not turn kids gay.

However porn is harmful and will contribute to an already out of control problem.

For the Big Bang, there’s the observable fact that the universe itself is expanding, as differences between galaxies and other galaxies has been increasing via some unknown force, often considered to be the expansion of the universe aided by dark energy pushing things apart. There’s also the stretching of light between different galaxies when it reaches us.

Which, in and of itself, proves absolutely nothing.

The Federal Government Shouldn't Ever Regulate Any Private Business or Organisation for Any Reason

Period.

 @9CJ6CB61Y

That’s where the two are different, in an individual level, they seem fine, but what the businesses do to get money is where the problems start. Businesses buy up other businesses, slowing competition, then increase prices and eventually leave you with nowhere else to go. That’s the end result of the profit motive of businesses left unregulated. Businesses don’t have to force you, they just have to limit your options and raise the price bar while lobbying government to make their profiteering easier. The citizens themselves might not suffer from the chains of oppression, but…  Read more

 @Patriot-#17761Y

If businesses buying up other businesses increased prices, why does history tell such a different story? Why did John David Rockefeller's Standard Oil Trust shrink prices in the oil industry down from 58 cents a gallon before they achieved their monopoly, to 8 cents a gallon afterword, without any government incentives or price-fixing? Why did he steadfastly feel convicted that "the common man must have oil, and he must have it CHEAP"? And why did prices skyrocket when the company was broken up by the federal government?

Why did prices consistently fall, in spite of inflation,…  Read more

Defining Economic Liberty

The following is a conversation between 2 users about differing interpretations of 'economic liberty' and its association with left vs right ideologies, highlighting the complexity of political labels.

 @VulcanMan61Y

How are you defining "left" vs "right"..? And is your argument solely using an economic scale? If someone was an economic centrist, but was socially and politically far-right, would you still consider them "moderate but not right-wing"? What exactly are you basing your "right-wing" vs "left-wing" positioning on?

Additionally, what do you consider "economic liberty"? Because I would argue that right-wing economics are NOT in favor of economic liberty, since capitalism (a fundamentally right-wing economic system) has an inherent and…  Read more

 @Patriot-#17761Y

but you did say: "Right-wing people support economic liberty but are in general more willing to see the government spy on its civilians via unconstitutional surveillance, and some rightists subscribe to an interventionist foreign police. Left-wing people support economic tyranny with a massive regulatory bureaucracy but are in general less willing to see the government spy on its civilians, and originally many supported a policy of peace and non-intervention, though sadly this has wavered away in recent years, especially under the current warmongering occupant of the White House..."…  Read more

 @VulcanMan61Y

I have explained to you what I meant by "economic liberty" so there's no fallacy there, as I have defined my terms and you have defined yours. The true debate should be over why we believe economic liberty is what it is.

Yes that is quite literally the entire point I have been trying to make: our own interpretations of "economic liberty" are entirely subjective, and even largely antithetical to each other's, hence why it is not a useful term to claim categorizes left and right-wing ideological thought. We could both have logically sound reasons as to why we believ…  Read more

Most socialist countries established so far were communist countries. However, socialism is not limited to communism. Therefore, non-communist socialism has actually not even been tested yet.

 @Patriot-#17767MO

"Communism" and "Marxism" are the same thing. Marx is responsible for Communism.

@CommonMan7MO

So, what I mean is communism is same to Marxism, but socialism is not. In here, the socialism doesn't mean previous step of communism as Marx said. It just means all ideology that agree with socialization of capital
