We can't force you to join, but it's just better.
Active development, several new features this site never had, and more than four people hanging around. A lot more posts, a lot more debates; we even have a section dedicated to Mafia, the social deduction game.

The spampocalypse was worse. This just a slow decay.

DebateCraft is still interesting but currently a tad lacklustre and also prone to "spambots " as you refer to them....More so than DebateArt perhaps?
No? Just a few odd users

So I’ve noticed a lot of spambots on this site. They are an inevitability, especially for websites with no active moderation. It’ll be interesting to watch the decay of this website as it continues.
If you’re reading this and haven’t already, join DebateCraft.com. We former users of this site moved to that website.

The media is the party most responsible for the exaggeration of corona, that is correct. The left partisan media to be specific.
Liberal politicians still played a role of course.

Covid was real. But its deadliness was overexaggerated for political purposes.

More like a Brave New World dystopia. Britain’s got Orwell covered.
As far as authoritarianism goes, Palantir is a concern.

1. And what if you're wrong and his "corruption" is actually the truth?
2. Removing him from your sight doesn't make him go away. He just spreads his ideas underground, where they are harder to counter.
3. Censorship tends to showcase that the censoring party can't defeat opposing ideas. Everyone knows this, and that creates a natural bias in favor of the censored side.
The best solution is full freedom of speech. If his ideas are so bad, they can be publicly and easily defeated.

Refute the radical speech then, you weakling.
Censorship only benefits the censored side in the long run.

The funny things is, the mods were always more diligent about censoring speech than deleting spambots...

Ah ***** **, why bother. Viewpoints are too different maybe, and I don't appreciate the insinuations, dismissiveness, or your take on it all.

Not my theory, but someone said that countries with colder weather produced harder working cultures; cultures that had to prepare for the winter are more disciplined. Intuitively, I can buy that.

Increasing enmity between political opposites may play a role.
Or maybe we’re all just shifting to live debates. Idk

Waste is stored in barrels lined with lead and stone. There’s no worries there.
There’s not a concern with nuclear that engineers haven’t figured out.

It's actually crazy how we can't have nuclear power because the Soviets couldn't keep their massive shitbox maintained.
Goes to show how one event can create paranoia that leads to pure hysteria.

In the event of an extremely authoritarian government lie the British of the past, how many Americans would rebel today? I get the sense we’re a lot more cowardly.

Read your thoughts on nihilism.
To expand + other thoughts:
For the true nihilism that says nothing matters, its devout followers just commit suicide, because life is meaningless. The problem? Then suicide matters to them. Then living (dying) like a nihilist matters. Then the concept of nihilism matters. That’s the self contradiction.
But the active nihilism mentioned earlier. It probably leads to the type of nihilist that most are.
The common nihilist I see is someone who just does what they feel like. This typically results in them just following the herd in society, since going outside of it tends to come with social punishment. It just ends up being moral subjectivism.
Maybe if someone with an ego becomes a nihilist, it could lead to moral objectivism. Probably a twisted version of it.
Am I making sense?
