My mistake Jake. Thanks for the clarification

(see Enco…see how easy it is to concede a point and admit you misconstrued someone else’s argument)!

No Jake. The “every day” element is a silly excuse. It is absurd to claim certainty of something and ridicule those who even withold a position, and then go on to talk seriously and passionately about things that would require the thing you are certain about to not be the case. You are clearly not that certain if “every day life” pressures you…[Read more]

doesn’t the fact that people can resist acting upon desires, even innate desires, indicate that some form of Volition does exist after all?

Actually, Unseen is certain that there is no such thing as free will. So, in effect, choice, volition, decision etc are totally meaningless. If you could not have done but what you did…then moral r…[Read more]

Why would we want to fuck up all of that good work by adopting a policy of “respect” and “understanding” towards would-be child molesters?

Enco you don’t think logically through many of the things you say. You are a would-be rapist. You have the potential to rape. Men in fact rape women FAR more than women rape men. Would it make sense for women t…[Read more]

America did shit all militarily as Ukraine has been ravaged. It fucked up in the former Yugoslavia. America’s adventures in Iraq also led to an extreme increase of Jihaddist terrorism in Europe. I fail to see how for a god damn second how America is “protecting” Europe. Enco, you are so f***ing deluded sometimes, you are incapable of seeing past…[Read more]

Nothing like Joe Rogan to be part of a reliable source of information. Climate change is already disastrous in many quarters of the world and it is insane to claim otherwise. This ranges from now nearly uninhabitable island nations (rehoming an entire nation classifies as a disaster), tap water so toxic it sets on fire, numerous species going…[Read more]

So here is Enco rationalising limits to freedom of expression (mostly reasonable ones I think) and yet doesn’t seem to have a problem with not limiting free speech when those words contribute towards inequality, terrible suffering of the marginalised and the brutal consequences of radical hate speech. Nice. Clearly it means: limits for things that…[Read more]

 And thus His Life should be visible too.

And yet he only shows up in ancient stories, people’s hallucinations and as images in burnt toast. God should be visible but he is not. He never shows up, not a trace of evidence beyond people’s words, feelings and unverifiable text (if you don’t include shoddy “logical” arguments which we shouldn’t…[Read more]

A country with an overarching culture and absolutely minimal smaller highly distinct areas is not particularly diverse. Yes, there is diversity in neighbourhoods but after a few generations they homogenise within the culture. This doesn’t happen in Chechnia, Dagestan, Tartarstan, Merv, North Ossetia etc. And in any case, large Russian cities are…[Read more]

Russia alone (that is without the former 14 other republics) have cultures which range from Turkic, Asian, relatives of Inuit/Eskimos, Finnic, Slavic, from the Caucuses and a LOT more. Linguistically, they natively have languages from over seven completely different language families which vary from Tartar, Mongolic, Sino (Chinese related),…[Read more]

Ehhh…the BBC may only seem left leaning by American standards. It is famously “neutral” and in fact, whenever there is a conservative government they tend to be tepid about criticism of that government, and often do “both sides-sim” where they seem to cover both sides as though they are equally valid even when the conservative policy is…[Read more]

Good to hear Strega!

It would be nice to see someone respond to Autumn once in a while without mischaracterising her statements/position, inventing claims she never made and relent and concede a point once in a while.

People vote for a myriad of reasons, some of them rational, sticking to their actual ideologies and others irrational, against their own interests, part of tribalism and buying into silly narratives. In multi-party democracies (most countries other than the US) you have actual choice other than dipshit vs. fuck-face. In those countries you can…[Read more]

Indeed there isn’t overwhelming love for the monarchy in Edinburgh. I don’t know any monarchists amongst my Scottish family/friends, though they absolutely exist. Now that Elizabeth is no longer with us, I would imagine there will be far fewer monarchists in Scotland. It is time to end the monarchy, or at the very very least, seriously diminish…[Read more]
