One must first use imperialism - discovering knowledge and facts by observing reality - then use reason and rationality to form conclusions and determinations from said empirical facts. ๐งต
I am not presenting this in a court of law, I am using it as part of an argument presented through reason.
What other evidence could there possibly be, that one school of thought predisposes on to another school of thought? If an American is pro-gun rights this predisposes him to being pro-life. How do I know this? Because more pro-lifers are pro-gun rights than pro-choice people are pro-gun rights.
Tight Correlation is the only evidence that is able to be provided to prove this metaphysical claim.
@rowanfornow @WesternSentinel Young men don't want and don't respect that and thus they gravitated towards someone who held themselves with some degree of masculine dignity, even if it is a shallow version of masculinity.
@Casewithscience@DrewPavlou My loyalty is to my Nation and to my fellow countrymen before foreigners.
It isn't a good thing that, to you, what it means to be an Australian is essentially nothing. Australians are units completely interchangeable with any other person on earth.
@AshPolitik But of course, it is clearly not left-wing in nature. So how can this logically be? Unless Islam as an ideology is not a part of the inherently Western left-right political construct.
@AshPolitik If it is the right-wing that is the most vehemently against Islam in general then a supposedly "extreme" form of it cannot be right-wing. If anything it must be left-wing in nature.
@AshPolitik Calling Islam right-wing is nonsensical. It was not born of the West and thus it does not neatly fit into the Western left-right political construct. It is Islam.
Here you have established that Aussies think in a certain way, even if I believe you are incorrect as to the specific way in which we actually think. That is simply the way in which we are *told* we *should* think.
Already, you have admitted that an Australian is more than
@UntoTheDepths@DrewPavlou True. We had a White Australia Policy.
That was wrong.
We changed.
Now we all agree, when you become Australian, you are one of us.
Id protect an Australian just because they are Australian.
If you dont think like that, you arent like us.
@Casewithscience@DrewPavlou The harm/care moral foundation isn't the only one. I don't want the ideology of Islam to propagate in my country. Islam is not an Australian belief system.
@Casewithscience@DrewPavlou I'd protect a human just because they are human, even if they clearly aren't an Australian and even if I don't want them in my country.
@Casewithscience@DrewPavlou That has absolutely not always been the deal lol. You're a leftist, you have to believe we didn't accept minorities as one of us for a long time to give you one example, regardless of their citizenship. Your own ideology is incongruous with the argument you just made.
@Casewithscience@DrewPavlou Another problem with this is, just because we as a collective have accepted someone as one of us (which in many cases we haven't) that doesn't mean that they truly consider themselves an Aussie.
If they do not consider themselves an Aussie, who are we to force that upon them?
@Casewithscience@DrewPavlou You say this yet believe that being granted the right of citizenship by the government sets one as an Australian in stone. That the Government can impose the definition of Australian on the people. You are a hypocrite.
@Casewithscience@DrewPavlou I don't understand what you mean by a religious test? Simply scrap s116 and ban entry from Muslims. Which we ought to do as their belief system tells them not to assimilate into the host country but to turn it into Islam. Australia is not, and ought not, be a Muslim country.
