@lspiguesslol @GazeWithin Has leftism gone too far?

[Ito @Ito_OW]

@alexandrosM @PierreKory @BretWeinstein Didn't know that 'practical philosopher' was synonymous with 'coward' nowadays. Unforunate.

@MouthyInfidel Literally 1% of the people within the Twitter politics sphere can engage with intro ethics, what did you expect? It’s all just ad hoc justifications for intuitions

[Ito @Ito_OW]

@zanyfen Sure, but this doesn’t mean it isn’t warranted. Much of it seems to be residual anger from her absolutely slithering out of accepting responsibility for/receiving the social repercussions of being an abuser.

@TrueBasedMan @ElegantBandico1 @Amla152 The real long-term strat for conservatives rn would just be to become pro-immigrant and appeal to social conservatism among minority groups, but they’d have to completely abandon nativism for that to really be viable.

[Ito @Ito_OW]

@TrueBasedMan @ElegantBandico1 @Amla152 Eh idk, it seems like the only wedge issue you’re gaining any traction in is the CRT meme, but young people are super progressive and the general pop. has only really gotten more socially progressive over time so I don’t think things are looking too great.

[Ito @Ito_OW]

@dpakman (((Take a wild guess)))

[Ito @Ito_OW]

@finlayson_seth @the_watcher @NeilShenvi I’m not a big proponent of CRT but I don’t see how her account of racism ‘meaningless.’ Do you think that it’s incoherent?

[Ito @Ito_OW]

@azhrie139 What? All I’m saying is that someone copied someone else’s positions. I don’t even have a problem with that in principle (you should adapt stronger positions), it just becomes very strange in the larger context of Vaush whining about and shitting on Destiny and his takes.

[Ito @Ito_OW]

@Dextix_LT This isn’t entailed by what I said.

[Ito @Ito_OW]

@LordMudkip73 @Rosesandarrows @TheOmniLiberal Aside from the fact that ‘centrist socdem’ is a phrase I never thought I would hear uttered, how does them having different ideologies prevents them from being able to copy positions? It genuinely seems like most of Vaush’s ethical/social positions are just ctrl+v’d.

[Ito @Ito_OW]

@azhrie139 How is this in any way entailed by what I said? Can you not read?

[Ito @Ito_OW]

@BenFlet27634111 @ProleBrain @TheOmniLiberal How do you reconcile this with the fact that uni professors (especially polsci profs) are predominantly liberal and not socialist/communist. Education & reading seem to have a mediating effect on political views.

[Ito @Ito_OW]

@smttemporary @Austin03211236 @gameboy4456 This isn’t an argument lol

[Ito @Ito_OW]

@theserfstv @ziwe You don’t know how the NYPD works or what the proposed policy entails, please stop clout chasing and virtue signaling

[Ito @Ito_OW]

@DarioRahim Based and true, 99% of socialists have no fucking clue how their economic prescriptions relate to their ethical ones. ‘Utilitarians’ with deontic oppositions to the extraction of profit from surplus labor value will never not be funny af

[Ito @Ito_OW]

@lay_man_ @conorpoints we do a lil bit of trolling

[Ito @Ito_OW]

@TheOmniLiberal Your brain on libertarianism

[Ito @Ito_OW]

@conorpoints ?

I’m absolutely willing to wager that the average utilitarian has thought out their ethical system far more than the average deontologist/virtue ethicist (and likely has a more consistent + complete set of axioms as well)
