Is a zygote a human being? Scientists disagree
You're missing the point. It is utterly irrelevant if scientists disagree because there is no scientific question involved.

scientists can't agree on if a zygote is a human being.
Scientists know exactly what a zygote is. Problem is that you don't know what a human being is.

Is "Dark Energy" the antimass?Huh? I have no idea as ive never heard of your "anti-mass". Maybe there is a pill for it like anti-gas peoples. :--)
What if I told you "I've been talking about antimass since the 90s and you should google it to cure your cluelessness, seeing as you're mastrubating in public"?
What are the units of "Dark Energy"?I'm not aware of any "units" of Dark Energy, other than the ones Ive been laying in Personal catagory for last year or so
Yes, why should we limit our multispirit minds with blinders like units? I know some of the readers may be asking "What about dimensional analysis... what about quantity? What about math in general? None of that is possible without units"
Well let me tell you dear reader, you are clueless! Try to contemplate a tesseract intersecting a hyperbolic cone for 20 minutes as penance for asking such questions.
What would the interaction be between an apple and "Dark Energy"?I dunno. Since mass of Earth is so prevalent, Gravity my show itself more than its diametric opposite, Dark Energy.
Suppose it is far away from the Earth or any other mass.
There is still much to understand about Dark Energy
Like units... or a basic definition.
I have geometry showing graviton-darkEon i.e the quantum graviton of gravity is really partially gravity, partially Dark Energy.
What is the relationship between geometry and the hypothetical quantum of gravitational interaction known as a graviton?
I came across theoretical physicists who hangs out with top theoretical physicists and he is first person Ive seen saying what my Ive found via my quantum spacetime tori, that, Gravity and Dark Energy are two sides of the same quantum particle
Those damn physicists, they have it all figured out and yet they maliciously continue to teach students Schrodinger style wave functions....
But thanks to you, I know what the "top theoretical physicists" really believe, and boy do I "trust the science".
composed of 14 nodal events and 91 lines-of-relationship.
I'll ask about those after I figure out what geodesic dark energy is.
Again ( )( ) is equatorial bisection of a torus. Geodesic positve outer and geodesic negative inner. Two sides of same torus.
Where did the rest of the donut go?
...space( /\/\/ )( /\/\/ )space..... sine-wave of physical reality is whats inside the torodial tube of Gravitational space and Dark Energy space.
The sine wave is inside the bisected torus...

Please explain what your point is and explain why you think this example makes it.
It is simply not possible to have a more obvious case of undermining democracy "silencing opposition" than using weapons to keep them off the ballot.

Which I'm conflicted on,Supporting Russia, instead of Ukraine, 'doesn't seem to be in American interests, from my view,Not that he'll 'necessarily do such.
Forcing a state of rivalry with Russia after the fall of the USSR was not in humanity's interest.
There were so many opportunities to avoid this war, and the deep state carefully threaded it's way to the specific set of circumstances that caused it. Without NATO vs Russia someone like Putin probably would never have come to power. Without the coup in Ukraine even Putin probably wouldn't be given an excuse because a sane Ukrainian government (that wasn't a puppet of the deep state) would never have allowed a bunch of neonazis to roll around and post to social media while killing people.
The only sane side in this conflict is neither side. Who knows what the hell Trump would do, but Elon Musk had the right idea. Call the bluff.
Transparent and secure referendums and let everyone decide what government they prefer. The whole world needs a lot more of that, but in Ukraine it would have prevented this war and may also be the only way to permanently end it.
Keep in mind there will be no final victory until people are defeated in their heart. The insurgency will continue regardless of which side happens to call itself in control.
"American interests" Pfft
The interests of a sane and moral people do not involve blowing up gas pipelines to force your "allies" to depend on you.

The transcript was a request for an investigation, not the announcement of an investigation absent an investigationThat’s not what Trump’s ambassador Gordon Sondland said.
Well I know how to read English so I went ahead and read the transcript without Gordon Sondland's help.
Also Biden was corrupt in exactly the way Trump had clearly been informed he was so there would be no dishonestly regardless.That’s a lie.
It's the truth, as was discussed extensively before my latest hiatus. Evidence continues to trickle onto the pile and none of it has been debunked.
The removal of that Ukrainian official was the policy of the US State Department and our European allies
Can't have it both ways. Either the executive branch can use congressional funding as a bargaining chip or it can't. If congress wanted to blackmail Ukraine into firing people they should write it into the bill.
[IwantRooseveltagain] So your argument is Trump is simply dumb, not unhinged?
If you're dumb enough that might be considered unhinged, but Trump is not dangerously stupid; as opposed to a third of left-tribers.

[IwantRooseveltagain] Trump tried to extort an ally for lies that would help him with his re-election by withholding military aid already authorized by Congress.
You assume, no such threat is in the transcript nor was there anything that implied dishonesty was requested.
that Biden was being investigated by the Ukrainian government.
The transcript was a request for an investigation, not the announcement of an investigation absent an investigation. Also Biden was corrupt in exactly the way Trump had clearly been informed he was so there would be no dishonestly regardless.
coverageNow why couldn’t Trump say that?
He could have, I assume that 95/100 times he could type that word into his phone (given enough diet pepsi). Just like eventually Biden will climb those stairs or find the stage exit.
What do you think of any person who is so insecure they can’t admit a simple mistake, not even a typo on a tweet?
Insecurity would be trying to kill the story by ignoring it. He embraced it and thereby showed an ability to laugh at himself.

Get people who do not want to be there out of there.The issue with that is people’s interests change. Like when I was in high school, I wanted to work for Crispr. Now I want to be an actuary.
That is not a relevant issue. Whatever your interest are, if you have no interest in learning no amount of money can teach you.
That is an argument for more programming for young children to spark their interest in many fields and to try harder to keep anti-intellectual attitudes out of schools (by getting rid of people who mock 'nerds' for giving a shit).
Some students don't learn because they don't want to be there.This is correct; so don’t punish their teachers with a lower salary because of it.
It's not punishment it's sanity. Certainly don't require a teacher to try and teach people who don't want to be there, let them leave. Free up a seat for someone who does want to learn so the teacher can be paid more.
There is no quantity of funding which cannot be wasted when failure is rewarded by more money and more staff!The issue with this is if you give a bad performing district less money than a well performing one, it leads to even worse scores
You presume, if it is know that the reason for less pay is failure that may motivate better scores. Certainly rewarding failure could be expected to fail and has failed. If it's a viscous cycle either way how come charter schools do so well? How did anyone get an education before pubic schools?
No, schools work; but only when they're full of real students and run by people who know that failure to teach results in no early retirement.
For the sake of argument we could say that the funding remains constant per capita in all districts. That doesn't stop you from using that same quantity of money in ways the engage enlightened self-interest.
If the average grade of the school is abysmal, you can still route most of the money to the few sparks of achievement. Say 1% of the students care and they have one teacher who knows how to teach them. Then they pass the tests and get the equivalent of mini scholarships for their achievement.
You think the teacher who just earned the equivalent of 400k/year for the semester finals is going to move away to a rich neighborhood? Hell no, they'll look for other students who can be saved, and the students who want to win will find that teacher.
The rewards will normalize to something sane when the rest of the students and faculty do something useful.

He had the nominal authority to wage war on the deep state yet he did nothing.What is the deep state? Matt Walsh asks what is a woman when people claim transwomen are women. I ask what is the deep state when you claim Trump is waging war against the deep state. I define the deep state as the federal government.
There is a lot of overlap with the federal government, but that is not the definition. It is a lot more nebulous a definition than "woman" but if you want something very specific that covers 95% of what people mean when they say "deep state" try this:
The deep state is anyone in a position of power or influence who look at FBI agents destroying evidence that could aid Jan 6 defendants and say to themselves "I would have done the same thing."
You can't see the wind, but you can feel it and you can see it working. https://time.com/5936036/secret-2020-election-campaign/
"Their work touched every aspect of the election. They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding. They fended off voter-suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time. They successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against disinformation and used data-driven strategies to fight viral smears. They executed national public-awareness campaigns that helped Americans understand how the vote count would unfold over days or weeks, preventing Trump’s conspiracy theories and false claims of victory from getting more traction. After Election Day, they monitored every pressure point to ensure that Trump could not overturn the result. “The untold story of the election is the thousands of people of both parties who accomplished the triumph of American democracy at its very foundation,” says Norm Eisen, a prominent lawyer and former Obama Administration official who recruited Republicans and Democrats to the board of the Voter Protection Program."
Without the spin: They changed election laws to allow for mass mail in voting which allows for mass ballot harvesting and fraud. They suppressed information on social media (including now well proven stories). They attacked and threatened the people whose job it was to detect election irregularities.
We now know that this campaign was aided, abetted, and probably organized by elements in the FBI and DOJ in general. They were organizing censorship of true information even under Trump. You foolishly assume that because Trump was in the oval office he controlled things, he did not order the Hunter Biden laptop story to be suppressed or organize the media into falsely reporting that it was Russian disinformation. YET that effort was organized from within the federal government.
This is what they mean when they say "our" democracy.
That's not democracy, and they can keep it in their degenerate shit stained failing cities where all the purportedly racist cops beat them mercilessly.
There is no normie vote.If this was the case, then elections wouldn’t swing from republican president to democrat president.
I didn't say there was never a normie vote. The last anti-establishment president may have been JFK though...
American democracy is dead.No it isn’t; sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
Yes it is. A republican winning isn't proof of anything if the republican in question supports the deep state. Some states have not had their elections fully subverted (see Florida).
Like if Walker wasn’t a hypocrite, Warnock wouldn’t have power. But he is, so the swing voters supported the democrat; just like the swing voters supported Kemp over Abrams.
You assume swing voters supported the democrat. You do not know and cannot know unless and until there is a secure and auditable election.
All that matters is ballot harvesting and the only chance for a republican to ever win another obviously critical election again is playing the game even dirtier than democrats.Elections aren’t rigged.
You have no way to know that.
I didn’t vote for Biden, but he won fair in square.
You have no way to know that.
What do you think about getting rid of political parties and forcing politicians to run as independents?
Parties were never written into the constitution(s) and do not rely on any official government recognition to exist.
Winner takes all voting leads to two arbitrary political alliances fighting by the inexorable logic of game theory. The parties are merely the veneer of this truth and so is the "left right" terminology.
I define the swamp as whatever group of power holders are working together to maintain the military industrial complex by aligning academia, media, and government policy against anyone who would dare suggest that war isn't a good thing or that US foreign policy should involve fewer sales of weapons or foreign bases.With the exception of the Ukraine war, ending war is a left wing thing.
A statement that could be forgiven if you just woke up from a 15 year hibernation. Bush was a deep state president. So was Obama. They said different things but they did the same thing. Trump broke the deep state's hold on the republican party, and that was dangerous to the deep state. They were safe as long as both party's candidates kept the crank turning. That is why they didn't need to undermine previous elections.
You define the swamp as power holders. What is the difference between power holders and elected government officials?
Not just power holders, power holders with certain goals. Not just elected power holders either, but unelected ones as well.
For example an FBI general counsel (James Baker) was hired as the top lawyer for Twitter. He then proceeded to coordinate with the FBI on censorship. It should go without saying that this is unmistakable violation of the bill of rights and any member of government who willingly participated is a domestic enemy of the constitution and guilty of sedition. (Also he was not the only DOJ spy/handler at twitter)
That FBI agent was not elected, but he was part of the swamp.
What are the Abraham accords?
Something you would know about if you included an honest news service in your information diet.

That’s an idea, but some students are harder to teach than others. Professors with inheritely stupid kids shouldn’t be at a disadvantage compared to professors in Greenwich or Westchester.
Some students don't learn because they don't want to be there.
It is not the public's job to motivate them, that's their parents job. Cut all truancy requirements. Slavery destroys civilizations. It doesn't matter if YOU or anyone else thinks it's for their own good. All that matters is if they see it as slavery, because if they do; they will not give a shit.
Get people who do not want to be there out of there. Once you have the people who just don't give a shit out, find the ones who are obsessed with a skill-set and not higher education. Get them out too, send them to trade schools that operate on similar principles. The notion that everyone needs to get a college diploma (and the collectivist subversion of universities) has led only to the extreme cheapening of the diploma and just as with public high-schools the level of academic achievement in universities is falling rapidly (while the costs explode).
People don't die when learn a trade. If they feel like they've missed something they can learn later. What's important is $$$. $$$ determines your excess time just as it has for all human history. When you're filthy rich you have plenty of time to study, and so any attempt to improve education that leads to people being on average poorer is counter-productive.
If you have a poor neighborhood and you've got a big line of compassionate rich people ready to dump money in to help, pay the kids (as well as the teachers) extra bounty. Don't buy solar panel arrays, don't hire DIE counselors, don't pay for sports stadiums or teams, don't create bureaucratic management facilities that were never necessary before.
You may think I'm joking, but I am absolutely not; look at the budgets of the schools that fail. There is a lot of money going through them. There is no quantity of funding which cannot be wasted when failure is rewarded by more money and more staff!
If the funders find "no child left behind" to be a morally necessary stance, they can pay extra for children who are falling behind (objective universal standards). In that case the best teachers would be attracted towards the worst performing schools.
I have plenty more opinions and ideas about education, but this is the fundamental problem (along with everything else government or megacorps do). The further the disconnect between success and rewards the fewer successes you will see. This is human nature. This is why free markets work and command economies don't.

The main reason to vote for Trump is that it might cause the collapse of the deep state as they reveal more and more of themselves in their desperate attempts to destroy him.From 2017 to 2020, Trump ran the deep state.
No, he did not. He had the nominal authority to wage war on the deep state yet he did nothing. He took their advice and their recommended personnel and he was stabbed in the back countless times without learning.
If Trump wins the primary, Jan 6 made him lose the normie vote.
There is no normie vote. American democracy is dead. All that matters is ballot harvesting and the only chance for a republican to ever win another obviously critical election again is playing the game even dirtier than democrats.
The main reason not to vote for Trump is that he failed to drain the swamp.What is the swamp? If you define the swamp as all elected officials, then SOMEONE has to represent Americans and they would be the new swamp.
I do not define the swamp as all elected officials, I define the swamp as whatever group of power holders are working together to maintain the military industrial complex by aligning academia, media, and government policy against anyone who would dare suggest that war isn't a good thing or that US foreign policy should involve fewer sales of weapons or foreign bases.
Their motivations are diverse, but mostly it's about money. For example Biden making $$$ as a side effect of the US democracy-destroyers (CIA and all other three letter agencies) organizing a coup in Ukraine.
Some of these people are elected, others are not. None care about Mexican gangs, it was Trump suggesting playing nice with Russia that made TDS a necessary psy-op. The Abraham accords also made Trump dangerous to them.

Many people in: Russia, Turkey, Egypt, Philippines, Venezuela, Belarus, Cambodia, Azerbaijan, Thailand, and Ethiopia would disagree.
- Many people, sure, but not most people. Most people would prefer freedom.
Everyone prefers freedom for themselves, it is the unique act of civilized man to prefer it for others as well.
The reason democracy does not necessarily mean liberty is because the voters are not necessarily civilized. Some become deluded (often under a lifelong barrage of collectivist propaganda) and believe they are entitled to deprive others of liberty. Hence all the examples that you just ignored.

@TWS1405_2
@AleutianTexan
(TWS1405_2) Cops do not answer to civilians like that. You need to first listen and don’t question. You don’t know the traffic laws, they do. Therefore, you won’t know if you did something wrong until you are told. Sometimes cops tell you after you give them your license and registration. Sometimes it’s the first thing they tell you. Either way, it is not to you to question their decisions and/or authority.
Sentences like the bolded are capable of raising fury in my exhausted heart. Before I explain further a pertinent question was asked:
(AleutianTexan) This is a general value question, but do you think citizens have a duty and/or right to stand up, violently or otherwise, against tyrannical or unjust governments?
Yes
It would be one thing to claim that at the time of detainment or arrest it is not appropriate to challenge the claims of the state (and anyone acting under color of law is acting as the state), but there is no later time either; none of any practical significance.
There is no justice for cops if the don't understand the law, if they arrest you wrongly. The most that is even legally possible is forcing the hiring government to pay out money, money they stole from the people.
There are three great sources of injustice in modern government:
1.) The laws themselves violate rights
2.) The laws are so complicated that they cannot be known or predicted, "ignorance is no excuse" is something that should be inscribed on a bullet of vengeance, to be delivered to the speaker's brain unless he can recite the full US code at will.
3.) When cops or prosecutors try to enforce non-existent laws or apply laws arbitrarily there is no penalty on them.
Government bureaucrats certainly do not know the law better than their victims. I have personally backed a county official into a corner where he admitted (on tape) that everyone breaks the law and he only cared about me breaking the law because he didn't like my schedule.
There are countless videos of 1st and 2nd amendment auditors to prove this. Cops don't know the law, lawyers don't know the law, judges don't know the law. All they know is the game they play with each other because "the law" is often an incoherent enormous pile of text which is physically beyond the capacity of any individual to know.
It seems obvious in hindsight, but when they were happily writing constitutions about two hundred years ago; they never stopped to ask themselves "If we create a body of authority whose only job is to pass laws, what will they do when there are no more problems that can be solved by a new law?"
The answer is that they will just keep passing new laws pretending they're solving problems and they will never get rid of old ones. Why would they? Every law is another weapon to be used against uppity citizens as needed.
The solution is simple. In the tradition of free market motivation of personal interest: Reward cops, prosecutors, judges who get it right, and penalize those who get it wrong.
For example give the jury an option to return "not guilty" OR "obviously not guilty", if it is obvious everyone who participated in the illegal arrest and indictment pays.
Pays how? Money. Almost every criminal code has associated fines. They pay those fines to the person whose life they were royally fucking up.
If you arrest someone and hold them for 48 hours and "decline to charge" you pay.
You issue a citation incorrectly? You pay.
Trial by jury is always a right, but if you're found guilty: You pay.
I guarantee you that the frivolous arrests will fall and cops will learn the law.

@Greyparrot
The basic tenet of a pure leftist is that any individual worker is not allowed to own what they produce.
All collectivists make moral calculation based on collections of people instead of individuals. Be it class, race (genetics or inheritance of any kind), religion.
Whether it is deprivation of property rights (including the right to one's own body) or any other form of tyranny the excuse is always of the same form "Individual X doesn't have this right because of collective Y he or she belongs to"
In the socialist line of collectivism the are no protected individuals what so ever. Everyone (who is allowed to live depending on the flavor of the socialism) is enslaved to everyone. It's all for the greater good, so it doesn't matter if any particular person gets any benefit.
Antebellum Democrat collectivism was racist, rights were deprived with the excuse being race but the individuals or the favored race were allowed some rights.
None of this has anything to do with the debate between the french liberals and the french monarchists in the late 18th century. They both agreed on the nature of property and that moral calculations could only be done on an individual basis. One side simply claimed that a family owned the whole country.

American ideology is Liberal by definition: "we hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal"
That is not the liberal part. The liberal part is "...among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..."
I continue to reject and scoff at any definition of liberal which is not essentially equivalent to: holding liberty to be a primary or supreme value
There is no doubt democracy allows for more freedom than any other form of government.
There no doubt this is a red herring. It does not matter what form of government may lead to the most freedom. Freedom and any particular form of government are not by definition identical.

Post socialismLeftism is not a post-socialist word.
yet the definition you gave is, which was the point.
- I regret that you lack the perception to apprectiate how the word inheritance is an apt shorthand for social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable, typically supporting this position based on natural law, economics, authority, property or tradition.
You regret that I can't be cowed into reading bizarre extra meaning into words as that would allow the framework you advanced to make a tiny bit of sense.
he liberal answer, as explained is: order and hierarchies assembled by consent are acceptable. Those assembled without consent are not acceptable.
- A temporary government appointment is not social heirarchy
Then republicans have never been in favor of social hierarchy. You attempt equivocation.

The tattered remains of your definition of "right winger" is the subtopic at hand.
The question is not whether government is necessary for human happiness or whether every form of government is imperfect, corrupt, tryannical. Any government contrary to one's values will feel like tyrranny. The question is whether the mob or one man is more likely to represent the interests of the majority and act to that majority's benefit. That is not perfect freedom for everybody always, it is only more free than any other system of government.
Arguments as to whether democracy brings more liberty are irrelevant to your error.
Democracy and liberty are not the same thing. Democrat and liberal are not synonyms.
Your claim that democratic is liberal by definition or that liberal is democratic by definition remains false.

Even the FBI recognizes that there's no denying it.
That's like saying "Even RT thinks there are nazis in Ukraine", the FBI is a subversive democracy toppling propaganda and psychological warfare instrument. An enemy of the people.
The only question to answer when presented with a claim from the FBI is "Why do they want us to think that?"

Few, if any, ever offer any logical, common sense, critical thinking that invalidadates the facts and/or speculations ive presented.

Geodesic Dark Energy <- define that.
Let me guess "If you have to ask you'll never understand?" What about "that is the sum of the flux capacitor encabulating the tabulation"

I have two theories about these threads of yours about "physics"
A.) You're in an altered state of mind, chemically assisted if you know what I mean
B.) It's an experiment, to see how many people will pretend they understand what the hell you're saying because it makes them feel high IQ

Left vs right is too vague and dynamic a term to be useful. I say "right-tribe" and "left-tribe" to make it clear I'm talking about arbitrary political alliances and not any kind of coherent theory or attitude. oromagi's sad copy pasta from wikipedia illustrates this perfectly.
It was two sides of a french building and people have been engaging in semantic sophistry with the words ever since.
What is not a semantic game is this: The democrat party was the part of slavery since inception, become the party of jim crow when they lost a war, then became the party of affirmative action.
The record of disproportionately fucking up black people's lives is steady.

wikipedia.
Post socialism
Created equal is not the same as eternally equal. If men were eternally equal then how come some are in prison and others aren't?Created equal. Nobody should be in prison because of inheritance.
Moving the goal post. You injected inheritance where "wikipedia's" definition did not.
t if they didn't believe it was a superior way of life they wouldn't fit the definitions.You do understand that asserting that one class of humans is inherently supreme is very different than prefering on argument of another.
I do. You inject "inherently" where it was not required by the definition you gave.
Ideology is pretty irrelevant to Fascism: the only ideology that counts is the idealogy of the autocrat.Can't both be true.
- False and stupid.
Not an argument, ignored.
hat is the answer of an insane anarchist who couldn't manage to fit in to a collective farm.
- False. Liberals don't believe in poltiical heirarchies
Your contradiction is as obvious as it can be, no further effort from me is required.
The liberal answer, as explained is: order and hierarchies assembled by consent are acceptable. Those assembled without consent are not acceptable.
- A temporary government appointment is not social heirarchy
Then republicans have never been in favor of social hierarchy. You attempt equivocation.
You inject an implication of inheritance where none is required, even by your own choice in definition.
- White supremacy implies an inheritance of white genetics, white "blood"
I did not comment on your definition of white supremacy but "right wing politics" which did not contain "inheritance" or "inherent". Moving the goalposts.
Anything democratic is Liberal definition. Democracy is the Liberal form of government.
Since you like wikipedia, read:
If you come to a point where you say the word "liberal" has nothing to do with "liberty" don't bother going on, I'll ignore it. If someone is willing to subvert profoundly obvious vocabulary as an tactic they don't have an argument.

No, the terminology does. Your definition does not.My definition is the dictionary definition my definition is the correct usage of this terminology. You are making semantic claims without any semantic evidence.
Which dictionary? When was it published? Before socialism? Didn't think so.
Fascists defintionally assert the superiority of some humans before othersEverybody does that,
- False. Here in America, our first commandment is all men are created equal.
Created equal is not the same as eternally equal. If men were eternally equal then how come some are in prison and others aren't?
at the very least they assert that people who agree with their ideology are superior to those who do not.
- Liberals don't think that way.
Yes they do, even pacifists do. Liberals may not consider it an excuse to deprive liberty just as pacifists may not consider it an excuse to use violence; but if they didn't believe it was a superior way of life they wouldn't fit the definitions.
Ideology is pretty irrelevant to Fascism.The only ideology that counts is the idealogy of the autocrat.
Can't both be true.
"Are certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable?"
- By definition, the Liberal answer to all of these questions is no.
A blanket "no" to any given social order or hierarchy means you are not a liberal, that is not the liberal answer. That is the answer of an insane anarchist who couldn't manage to fit in to a collective farm.
The liberal answer, as explained is: order and hierarchies assembled by consent are acceptable. Those assembled without consent are not acceptable.
We reject that any human is worthy of more or less based on any inheritance.
You inject an implication of inheritance where none is required, even by your own choice in definition.
The question is simple: Did you people volunteer to be part of this?
- Liberals believe that every social construct is voluntary and subject to improvement by a well-informed majority. All tyrants rule at the sufferance of thier subjects.
You forgot "should", majority is democratic not liberal. Democracy a form of government. Liberty is a purported goal of government, the primary and indispensable one according to liberals.

The idea of Right Wing vs. Left Wing precedes the notion of Socialism by half a century.
No, the terminology does. Your definition does not.
Fascists defintionally assert the superiority of some humans before others
Everybody does that, at the very least they assert that people who agree with their ideology are superior to those who do not. That is all the fascists claimed in that regard.
Liberals regardless of school (classical Greek, English, French) don't ask such questions
- You forgot to say what questions
"Are certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable?"
False and deeply ignorant. Liberals are defined by their faith in human equality ... LIberals, by defnition, seek to separate political power from religion and aristocracy.
Or perhaps they are defined by their belief in the moral supremacy of... liberty, but don't let me blind you with the obvious.
The question is simple: Did you people volunteer to be part of this?
- Incomprehensible, I'm afraid. Try identifying who "you people" are and what the pronoun "this" represents in the question.
You people = anyone in the hierarchy or social order
This = the hierarchy or social order

Right-wing politics "describes the range of political ideologies that view certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable, typically supporting this position based on natural law, economics, authority, property or tradition. Hierarchy and inequality may be seen as natural results of traditional social differences or competition in market economies"
That definition exists in the narrow paradigm of socialist conceptualization. It all but excludes itself from applicability to any political theory that was not derived from socialism. It is applicable to nazis, fascists, communists, and democrats for example.
Liberals regardless of school (classical Greek, English, French) don't ask such questions and don't care to answer them. Like the Buddha answering questions about gods or a rabbi answering questions about the afterlife.
Liberals don't pass judgement on the existence of hierarchy, only their method of formation. The question is simple: Did you people volunteer to be part of this?
