@Insidedness @SatireRedacted It makes sense why Marx tried to steer clear of a moral condemnation of capitalism, especially when he was, in many ways, responding to the Young Hegelians. However, everyone concerned about capitalism is, at some level, concerned with its moral transgression of human goods.

@Insidedness @SatireRedacted I think that's right, although I'm a little unsure about the latter part of your statement. Even if Marxists strive to provide a purely scientific analysis of capital, it might be important to acknowledge their implicit ethical commitments.

@359Pine He's implementing his platform, and doing an exceptional job at that. If people read him as being more radical that's a little bit on them icl.

@rtnhause5 @NO1VAK_ You can do similar debates between 2006 Fed and 2015 Novak while pointing out changes to court speeds, etc. The stance that makes most sense is to be agnostic about this, nor is it an important question in assessing Jannik's 2026 season or Novak's 2015 season.

[Nabeel Naqvi @naqli137]

@rtnhause5 @NO1VAK_ The point isn't to say that 2026 Jannik beats 2015 Novak, or the other way around. The 2015 Novak season is the greatest in history, but no amount of speculation can let us say how a matchup would go. Its as simple as that.

[Nabeel Naqvi @naqli137]

@rtnhause5 @NO1VAK_ So where do you draw the line between the age difference? When does it start to approach the same "level" as the Jannik/Novak age gap? Or does something magical happen at exactly 14 year age difference?

[Nabeel Naqvi @naqli137]

@rtnhause5 @NO1VAK_ I'm not arguing for ages across the board lmao. I clearly said, 24 year old JANNIK. Tennis evolution works differently for differently players. Easy to cherry pick results I can talk about a 38 year old Karlovic beating Novak in 2015, but that would be stupid for the same reasons

[Nabeel Naqvi @naqli137]

@rtnhause5 @NO1VAK_ So a 21 year old is a better tennis player than a 32 year old? Listen to yourself. There's more to tennis than just physicality, especially on a surface like grass.

[Nabeel Naqvi @naqli137]

@rtnhause5 @NO1VAK_ Yeah, if anything its worse. A 32 year old Novak is a fully developed player, whereas a 24 year old Jannik clearly isn't. It doesn't help your case at all

@EricTropicalTX @joshuarolson The sams political junkie who needed help from the DNC establishment to win a primary and went on to bottle the election, losing the state in question, Michigan, on both occasions? Specialist in political failure.

@Big3Tennis 5 back-to-back USOs is an insane achievement considering its played on hard courts which is a great surface for everyone

@politburito There are various ways of grounding natural rights in non-religious ways. As far as I know, none of Hobbes, Locke, or Rousseau appeal explicitly to a God or a soul. A little more debatable, but Kant endorses a similar view, by grounding rights in human rationality.

[Nabeel Naqvi @naqli137]

@souljagoyteller And you don't think that a conception of natural rights has changed over the course of history?

[Nabeel Naqvi @naqli137]

@bonescrushed___ Also, incredible court coverage and a hugely unappreciated tennis IQ. For me, he's the best as far as the latter goes

@Noahpinion *Pretends to be a political analyst*
*Uncritically believes a New York Post headline*

Take a day off.

@MKA19881 Wallahi any "vulture" that owns almost every tennis record deserves goat status even if he beat minnows
