So we have western countries who value free speech and corporations and totalitarian regimes such as China and Russia who do not.
The problem is that western countries are reluctant to propagandize their own citizens.
So how would you mitigate the effects of groups like ISIS radicalizing people into becoming bombs that can go off in any crowded family event, mitigate the Russian and Chinese propaganda that seeks to divide Americans so their governments become distracted by internal as opposed to external fights, this weakening national security.
If you think the threats to national security and safety are worth accepting for the most extreme versions of free speech, I am inclined to side with you, but most people don't want to live in that sort of world.
So how do you navigate having an environment of free expression and speech, while protecting it from bad actors such as terrorist organizations, and totalitarian regimes as well as corporations.

Internet has always been censored.To put it simply: he who owns the media, imposes censorship on people who say things he doesnt like
It actually used to be the wild west where information was more easily accessible and freely available.
Now it is largely curated by billion dollar companies, but it hasn't always been that way.

As for the transhumanism stuff, I find more likely scenarios than the elimination of humans.
1. Sufficiently advanced AI just launches itself into space and leaves us to maybe get energy off of the sun and mine other planets for resources.
2. Kurzwelian merger, where we basically become the machines

You have it backwards! Buddy, the Middle East is the Cradle of Civilization, & the birth of most great religions & civilizations.
Hey I support what you are saying about white degeneracy and support it's eradication, but you have to admit Arabs are a bunch of 3rd world people because of inferior brains.
I also think you underestimate the degeneracy of Muslims. A ton of Muslims in Pakistan for example fuck little boys because they are faggots and this is usually dismissed as a cultural thing.

This argument pisses me off, but not going to lie it seems spot on.
Luckily I don't have to be ashamed of being white for too long as the half of whites who are degenerate are either mixing with non whites and their descendants are leaving us or they are voluntarily castrating themselves and being removed from the gene pool that way.

We can't dismiss that possibility either. We know the CFR has determined that the world will end by around 2040 if the population continues at it's projected rate.
This has why they have funded projects by MIT to basically advertise their internal findings. They have not so secretly since the 90s came up with the following solutions to overpopulation.
1. Promoting the murder of babies (abortion)
2. Promoting transgenderism so people voluntarily castrate themselves
3. The promotion of euthenasia

It should keep. Away more users than it draws in. However I have argued why it would grow the user base.
More than that, using an unfamiliar language will make logic more difficult to be accurate
That's why I have advocated people familiarizing themselves with the language. I think it would take the average user here 6 months to learn enough to debate using it, assuming one hour of active learning per day.
HOW MANY PHILOSOPHICAL WORKS ARE TRANSLATED INTO ESPERANTO?
A lot actually, but it isn't necessary. Just provide citations to publications in your native language and translate the portion of text you are using into esperanto. Your opponent is free to use Google translate

For it to be an evolutionary advantage it would need to help maximise our fitness to survive and I can’t see how religion does this.
You seriously can't see how a belief system that would eliminate fear of death would be advantageous to a group fighting against groups that value self preservation?
In a time where retreat in battle was easy you don't see how having fighters who refused to retreat because they had no fear of death would be an advantage?

A few reasons for declines in marriage.- decline in religiosity among people- divorce rates and financial risk- decline in economic opportunities
I would disagree with this. Society was largely centered around combating the hypergamy of women for most of history.
Once women got the right to vote this changed the sexual dynamics to favor women and their sexual strategies. Women unconsciously used their political power to reclaim the ability to be hypergamous by creating a safety net for themselves subsidized by men so they could avoid commitment and not be destitute. They did this by doing the following.
1. Child support and alimony so they could fuck around on their husbands without the normal natural consequences of doing so.
2. Welfare state so they could be sluts and have children without being tied down to aan to help with child support.
The above allows women to largely share the top 20% of men. The most attractive and charming of males. I'm a society where they couldn't do this, we would see many forced to settle down with what we now refer to as INCELs.
The problem that most people don't see coming, but is very obvious when you look at other societies with largely single young males with no sexual outlet (polygamous societies usually) is an enormous uptick in mass violence, riots and general criminality.
Women are not bad for pursuing their preferred sexual strategy, but it will have devastating effects on society

It was pretty obviously manufactured. My talks with people close to what is going on indicates that they were downplaying the fact it was a lab leak because they didn't want to alienate Chinese scientists who were of immense help in combating the pandemic. I don't think anybody in the know we're in denial about this day one, but it they had a pretty serious ethical conundrum.
1. Be honest about the lab leak theory and lose cooperation with the Chinese who were a major help in battling COVID-19.
2. Down play and even lie about the lab leak so that way they could get cooperation with scientists who worked on COVID-19 and knew it best so they could move quickly and save countless lives.
I think dishonesty is wrong in any case, but I might think differently if I had a choice of being honest and adding 1 million potential deaths or lying and saving 1 million lives.
As for the other main point about running drills prior to the COVID outbreak. There have been people raising the flag for years about the potential for a very serious pandemic. A few years prior to COVID-19 I watched a documentary following some frustrated scientists around who could not get help trying to prevent the next pandemic because of 2 main problems. The first problem was there is zero money made from preventing a pandemic. The second problem is that public officials had an optimism bias and thought a pandemic was very unlikely despite a major one being way overdue.

Perhaps you heard the quote “a house divided against itself, cannot stand”.
It was originally said by Jesus actually. They accused him of communing with demons because he cast them out and he pointed out that if he was of Satan and fighting against himself that they should applaud it because a house divided cannot stand.

I think we need to consider making the official language of the site esperanto. Listen to why.
1. It is an international language that is easy to learn and neutral.
2. The requirement to learn a second language will keep lower IQ people off of the site, not completely but more effective than the current barriers of entry.
3. Esperanto based debate site, will draw in esperanto speakers growing the site and giving us more debaters.
4. The site will have a more even balance of liberals and conservatives seeing as how most people attracted to esperanto are filthy commies.
5 the language can be learned in less than 6 months with minimal effort
I think the official language should change on June 6th to give every current user plenty of time to learn it. Anyone speaking in English after June 6 2023 should be permanently banned

So what? You continue to ignore basic human nature.
I work from the assumption that people are logical and rational beings and make decisions based on those things.
how would they gauruntee that right if every attorney refused to do it?They don't.This is like asking how the government can guarantee you that no one will murder you. What the government guarantees you is that they will do their part in ensuring you enjoy whatever rights you have, not that those rights cannot be taken away by the rest of society.
That's not how rights work. If a government declares something a right they have to ensure the right, even if it means enslaving people to do so. If every qualified attorney refused to do so they would have to implement punishments to coerce them.
Which is why you shouldn't have positive rights as something a government promises ever.

How come becoming older didn't cause you to maybe study political philosophy a bit and you still maintain your childish views of
"Derp, if somebody is homeless give them money and it solves the economy that created that"
Or
"Derp education sucks so let's just throw more money into it, though it's been proven that the public schools with the most public money spent on kids do the worst"
"Derp too many teen pregnancies let's solve this by killing babies"

Americans have always been lied to by past presidents which got them into wars with Vietnam! N Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan etc. but Trump lies for personal gains. Most Americans would like to benefit too without the fear of consequences. Trump is an example they would love to follow. Trump beating the system is their hope.
Maybe Biden's take away should be for the political establishment to act honorably and not lie for things like excuses to go to war with countries or COVID or drugs etc.
If they don't like their place of work stormed and being under threat for the gallows, perhaps they should serve their country instead of the illuminati.
Everyone knows the election was rigged BTW, have you ever seen an election that wasn't rigged where you had to wait the next day to find out the results.
People in countries where elections were stolen said this is how the elite do it when the wrong person is winning they just shut down the voting for the night and the next day a miracle surge for the other candidate occurs.
