@LibertytwtC It is in fact possible for two different things to be right wing at the same time

@LibertytwtC All libertarians who might possibly influence respectable academic institutions instead of operating in libertarian larpademia will get ignored and slept on, this is an iron law.

“Capitalism rewards and promotes everything good in the world, how will we defeat it now??”

[professional hog groomer @bidetmarxman]

It’s broader than that.

A big challenge communists face is that the traits needed to build an effective organization—discipline, initiative, social skill, strategic thinking, strong memory etc—are often the same traits that are rewarded with success in the capitalist system.

@dalkeithfiddler @cjsnowdon I am Australian your healthcare system is an abomination and Thatcher should have privatised it

JUST IN: Uganda’s military chief demands $1 billion from Turkey & “the most beautiful woman in that country for a wife,” threatens to close embassy if demands not met.

The entire concept of a “dwarf planet” was a mistake, Pluto is an ASTEROID

[Andrew @Cosmic_Andrew1]

I get people like Pluto, it has a cute name and had an amazing photo shoot with New Horizons but it will not be a planet without adding at least a dozen others and new definitions would likely push us up to or over 100 planets which is silly. Nobody actually cares, move along

@brett02e @SpeedWatkins I'd imagine that a god who can't control some things wouldn't really be 'god'. Even if that isn't necessarily how all theists think, any theist could take up that position and avoid the morality argument Benjamin was making.

[Austroalian 𓋛 @Austroalian]

@brett02e @SpeedWatkins If there was an infinite god with sovereignty over creation then yeah, why not? God to a theist would be why those things are the way they are at all

[Austroalian 𓋛 @Austroalian]

@SpeedWatkins @account_blown What even is your basis regarding ethics? (Assuming you are a moral realist which you seem to be)

[Austroalian 𓋛 @Austroalian]

@SpeedWatkins Insofar as you grant god (i.e., consider the theist system) an infinite creator could create or destroy any property in anything, including justifiability or morality. This genuinely isn't a problem. No metaethical system you hold could make that a problem for theists.

[Austroalian 𓋛 @Austroalian]

@SpeedWatkins If that could be made moral then it would be moral. The only ‘problem’ is contradicting present moral intuitions, which would be both unreliable in the eyes of a theist and also may not represent what moral intuitions would exist in the hypothetical.

[Austroalian 𓋛 @Austroalian]

@SpeedWatkins What I mean is, if god could make anything then god could make any statement “X ought to do Y” literally morally true or false at will. I don’t think that would be a problem for theists.

[Austroalian 𓋛 @Austroalian]

@Ayyaaz2 @bunburyoudoujp No it isn’t

[Austroalian 𓋛 @Austroalian]

@libertymaxi @AntimutualistA All praxeologists including Hoppe also make some empirical assumptions like the disutility of labour, but for the most part yes.

[antimutualist action @AntimutualistA]

And this classical liberal class theory sucks for much the same reasons as the marxist one. Society is simply not formed by groups with competing interests in eternal struggle, and you cannot collapse all social matters into a question of hidden economic or group interests.
