@JDWarren1000@thecyrusjanssen That a head of state takes recourse to mythology when speaking out loud says almost nothing about the actual politics involved. This is the definition of realpolitik. 2/2
@JDWarren1000@thecyrusjanssen The propagandistic support for hostile action does not vitiate against actual geopolitical incentives for war. War always has clear origins in political interests, their public justification in nationalistic fables notwithstanding. 1/
@TheKernSystem@ARmastrangelo This is the rightwing version of "the forefathers should be canceled bc slavery." Not sure why the incompleteness of the consciousness of historical actors should play such a big role in our understanding of the historical consciousness they nonetheless created.
Why would someone who attacked a military base (something that almost certainly results in death) be deterred by the possibility of death?
Public executions are just some medieval nonsense they serve no function in the modern world.
The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty
@tonywendice1954 A baby can not commit acts and so its innocence is inviolable but only as a principle of life, not actuality. But human life is sacred and may not be taken ever for any reason, even when unspeakable crimes are committed. We are not gods, we are men.

@philthatremains so true. There's also no such thing as gay children. Homosexuality is completely invented by perverts when they're adults. No innocent child could EVER be homosexual because it's a disease. Same thing for transgender. They're all just sick and suffering. So true. So true.
@feelsdesperate You also have El-Sayed Derangement Syndrome but I'm not surprised - as a former liberal myself, I relate with the reflexive distaste with liberal sentiment. I had a very bad case of TDS and I was cured, just not only of the Trump variety but of all of them. I hope you get help
The bourgeoisie knows that it is destroying humanity.
That fact is too uncomfortable for them to admit.
Instead, they project it onto AI, onto Capital.
As always in bourgeois ideology, subject and object must be swapped.
Will AI destroy humanity?
Yes, the bourgeoisie will.
