Voting changes the political landscape, is not about the result but who the politicians need to court for future elections.

What do you mean? The fight against communism is well-known because they don’t recognize the validity of the concept of property, hence natural ennemies to capitalists for sure.

But a lot of the “bourgeoisie” put their capital towards the tyrannical nature of a failing monarchy turning fascist in their methods.

I don’t see how that holds up when historically capitalists have put their power behind the fight against fascism more often than not.

I think his point is when you are far enough on any side of the spectrum, everyone else gets lumped together with the more problematic version of the opposition.

Capitalists aren’t fascists but I wouldn’t be surprised to read an essay from someone on the far-left making that point.

Socialists aren’t communists but you can frequently see this point being made by the far right.

As much as I probably ideologically stand with you, let’s not confirmation bias ourselves into a belief we have no evidence for.

Around here there are definitely consequences in the form of pesky looks and headshakes. Well at least coming from me.

In any case people who complain about never being invited almost never invite themselves.

Yeah! Nobody uses CRT monitors anymore.

We must never forget how much it matters to understand that the war is against the Russian government and that us and the Russian people are the victims of that government.

If you say so…

I can’t refute what hasn’t been proven…

I know all the arguments, probably better than you know them yourself. I was curious, investigated, saw nothing there that wasn’t obviously wishful thinking.

I have no interest in deconverting anyone, just to make sure we aren’t mischaracterised by the faithful (which we are all the time).

God is a subject. Is he good? If so, how would you know?

Morality is an evolved trait they also can find in other apes on a different scale.

Isn’t sin by definition offence against a God? The way I understand it christians see God as the ultimate authority. Like a father to a son. It makes sense given the fact that we are raised in an authocratic environment. I guess my point is when someone doesn’t believe in the concept of God, good and evil as an authority is nonsensical. Eutyphro dillema and all that.

If you want to understand an atheist then you need to understand this first. If you mostly care for the carrot and sticks of your particular religion then I understand why you aren’t motivated towards having a productive conversation.
