And everybody knows NIHILISM killed a bunch of people and makes babies cry.

How do you prove that shouldn’t happen?

IF we have no way of demonstrating it or assessing it other than through our own subjective viewpoint of the universe

You can’t demonstrate something that’s subjective, that’s why the latter position is nihilism.

Nope.....I would call it, assumed morality.

Sounds like nihilism to me.

Which one of these TRUMP nominees for Secretary of Labor has a record of actually promoting PRO LABOR policy?

So a pro-labor secretary would be one that hasn't sold a single thing in his life or created a job for anyone? Sounds logical.

ALL BETS ARE OFF.

Lol only in a crony world where people are prevented from competing,

The main objection to Unions is that they pay workers too much and THEREFORE cost the management their extra fat juicy PROFITS.

No, it isn't lol. If you listen to workers actually fucked over by Unions then you know that the one size fits all solution of a Union is bullshit and unfair in a world of diverse individuals.

All major labor unions backed Joe Biden,

most workers have outsourced their personal responsibility to save for their future.

I'd prefer not to be fired on a fucking whim.

Then either invest in job security by producing more than you are worth or take all the risks of employment upon yourself.

It's way more common than you would like to accept. Unions subsidize these broken people.

Workers make bad choices and take risky jobs all the time. Who would you like to be in charge of your risk-reward analysis?

Is that what you are nostalgic for?

Maybe you can be happy locked up in your house while you are content with the "benefits" you earn.

The number one reason people get fired is from problems stemming from a deeply held belief that they are way more productive than they actually are. These are the people that end up being subsidized by productive workers in a union instead of being justifiably fired.

If it's your employer's responsibility to look after your long-term welfare, why even care about things like job security or programs to advance in your career then since it's not your responsibility? Another reason why benefits are a scam against the worker.

"employee benefits package"

If you had a choice between actual money or benefits you may or may not need....what would you choose?

The fact employers can sell these benefits as an alternative compensation for your labor is proof that unions are bad at bargaining.

I think that protectionism reduces the need for labor unions. We had both from early to mid 1900s.

I’m fine with weaker unions if we have tariffs and quotas on imports, personally

I worked in a grocery store and they paid me minimum wage because of the ufcw.

IFF) you imagine that "hollywood" has any agenda OTHER than "make as much $$$ as possible" (THEN) you're shockingly naive.

That is perhaps one of the most accurate and meta takes of Hollywood I've seen for a while.

Sure, there might be movie producers who actually want to be progressive, but the movie industry itself is really only letting that trend go through because it sells well in developed countries.  (cough, except for China)

I'm not entirely sure that social conservatism isn't viable politically,

but I know that the fiscal libertarianism definitely isn't viable.

Hispanics, the largest minority voting block, are quite religious and socially conservative overall. If the GOP would become a populist conservative workers party, I think they would keep all of the White vote they need while also gaining large portions of  the Hispanic vote.

We operate more or less on a pendulum. The widespread degeneracy we are seeing is very likely to have a strong reaction as people can no longer stomach what our culture has become.

While Hollywood and the media do everything they can to make conservatism seem "uncool",

you have to realize that the GOP has never been the young person's party. It is the party of families, evident as most married people with kids vote for them.

But I certainly agree that the GOP has cast aside most of its socially conservative principles in what Patrick Buchanan more or less describes as a neocon insurgency. Neocons are free traders, social liberals, and war hawks  that must be cast out of the party before it can once again become competitive nationally.

I seriously want to know because monopolies are bad and I want to pick an ideology that would eliminate the Amazon's of the world

"Sorry amazon Don't cancel my prime membership"

What point are you trying to make? 

But outsourcing is primarily for cheaper labor and unions want high wages,

No more "driving while intoxicated" infractions?

Correct

Although I certainly understand enforcing preventative laws where it is hard to track down the perpetrator. Such as banning shooting guns in the air on July 4th, just because a bullet that travels several blocks and lands on a girls head, would make it near impossible to actually track down who fired the bullet. 

I find most laws that are intended to prevent harm are unethical, and on par with the actions taken by government I'm minority report.

My goal is not to approach common ground but to teach and learn from you . 

NOBODY DOES THIS BETTER THAN WORKERS UNIONS.

No, they catalyze outsourcing of those jobs. Protectionism makes it much more costly to outsource, so companies keep or create the high-paying jobs here

I guess in theory you could claim they aren't evil despite destroying competition like drug cartels would do by getting the government to be their slaves as opposed to slaves of the people like intended.

AND, more significantly, are you in favor of ABOLISHING THE USE OF FINES AS PENALTIES?

Yes, corporations have sent expired medicine overseas for example. Everyone in the chain of command that allowed that to happen should be criminally responsible for every death that resulted from that.  Some fines are just preemptive against potential harms. They should be eliminated and replaced with prison as a real deterrent.

But as you know I am a consequentialist so if their behavior causes harm, they go to prison, but if the unethical practices lead to more overall good for society, I wouldn't punish them. 

protect high-paying jobs that don’t require a college degree is the way to go.

My argument (table)

IF there exists any morality/punishment/reward/meaning (leg one) and IF we have no way of demonstrating it or assessing it other than through our own subjective viewpoint of the universe (leg two) THEN we are forced to assess morality/punishment/reward/meaning through our own subjective viewpoint of the universe (leg three)

IF and ONLY IF the premesis are true THEN the conclusion is a logical necessity. 

IF you see any structural issues with my premises THEN please explain exactly what the structural flaw is. 

Person (b) says, well, it's difficult to describe my table but it is waaaay better than yours, so yours is wrong. I saw a table like your once and it was so dangerous it fell over and killed a bunch of people and made babies cry. (false dichotomy, emotional appeal, bald assertion, strawman, affirming the consequent, and argumentum ad baculum).

I don’t know what you’re referencing to with this,

Did you know that the courts determined that corporations are people? This was done so companies could buy or intimidate politicians through lobbying.

regional utility monopolies

I'm sure you meant to say, "Monopolies are INEVITABLE in a capitalistic society".

I'm sure you meant to say "Monopolies are INEVITABLE in a crony society".

So does regulation create monopolies like history has shown or does the free market create evil monopolies? 

The federal govt should provide for the defense of the nation and building roads and bridges all the rest should go to the states.

Murder us actually wrong definitionally. Murder Cosby definition the unlawful killing of a person ON PURPOSE. (Doing it by accident is called manslaughter)

Purposefully killing a person is not always murder and the state reserves the right to define murder. 

Never presume malice when (bias blindspot) is sufficient.

Good point. Recommended course of action in those instances?

You are maintaining a double standard and that is intellectually dishonest. 

Not necessarily. [**]

Please elaborate 

Specifically, "belief" does not require justification.

No but when your interlocutor insists that yours do without offering any of their own...

Hopefully by now I've also suggested that analyzing the problem of police bias by attempting to ascertain that one race is superior/inferior to another can fail to account for the geographic and socioeconomic distribution of the people within those populations, being divided arbitrarily to a racial construct.
