I have given likes from the start to those that earned it.
This thread is not only partly about me but is a thread on DART that ant DART user is free to engage with.
By giving likes to everybody, 3RU7AL has made it mean nothing at all that a person is liked often. I do not see that as a good thing.
I also do not care much about it. Some of my better posts have generally only got 3 likes only or perhaps 2 or 1 while some of my quick retorts have 4 or at least 3.
Likes do not mean anything on social media, to me, the system is a joke. Popularity is not strongly correlated with high quality but rather with above average and easily accessible and relatable.

I prefer to judge the value of a post based on my own brain abd the contents of said post.
I have seen crap posts with many likes and vice versa. I am not concerned about others' opinion of a post when it comes to ascertaining its value.

As a victim of moderator abuse here personally, who has also been a constant watchdog for them with alts and other site issues, I can tell you they do not moderate sufficiently. When they do, it's more to do with luck of me pushing them (or someone else pushing them) than the baseline logic of their moderation.
I also want you to know that I voted against the presidency in the original MEEP as I agree with you that the role is more of a poser thing than a genuinely functional balancing power to the mods.

Sure, but I'm asking about our constitutional rights, so this is probably not a conversation you'd like to participate in.
Constitutional rights until you're in a CIA black site interrogation. Let me guess, you think only non-Americans were detained and interrogated, that's what they let you know.

I don't know of many others who are against absolute human rights in general, I'd say I have a radical standpoint as I disagree with 'rights' altogether and believe in defining ethical treatment according to context. That is probably the most radical standpoint to have.

You either disagree and think her father is a scumbag or you don't.
I have made my stance clear and am unsure why you are trying to male this all about me.
I am one of the most radical thinkers out there when it comes to rights and by radical I do not mean extreme.
I do not base merciful treatment on rights, I base on the situation. A fetus defaults to desperately wanting to be born and exist at some point, to me that would be the point it matters actually. To me, the reason it us okay to treat farm animals in a prisoner like way is because animals do not particularly crave too much autonomy and freedom. That said, I am very much for ethical treatment of them overall.

I fully support stop and frisk like the Giuliani mayorship did in NYC. You support that? It sure would clean up a lot of illegal guns
No, the issue is deeper than that and this would continually encourage webs of dealers and suppliers encasing themselves in bodyshields and mules.
I want regular undercover workers, using taxpayer's money on a nationwide campaign to rid America of guns in the hands of civilians, yes 'illegal guns' first and then once it's proven effective, legal guns too.

There are multiple times as many lives saved by guns than taken. Self-defense is a god-given right whether you like it or not. We stopped listening to you Brits in 1776 on our domestic policy.
That is because the US government is too chickenshit to actually do the sting operations required to remove guns from the people, mind you a near-majority of the people are too foolish to understand the simple solution to stop the massacres, the rest have just lost hope.

@SirAnonymous
Haha check out every Buddhist regime so far. Sinhalese leaders in Sri Lanka have consistently been corrupt money laundering bastards, the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar is one of its many displays of sheer fascism, you can find corrupt Buddhism in every area of pilitics it spread, including Vietnam that became directly less corrupt the further towards secularism the government was and again corrupt and ranked rights and care towards people by productivity to the economy (regardless of what it calls itself) once it identified as Buddhist.
It is in fact accurate to say that severe, brutal atheism is left wing corruption in its extreme.
You can say Buddhist places call themselves Socialistic, but observe their practises.

As I have said, we must stop siding with Islam if we are progressive. Sharia is the most right-wing political system on Earth and is intertwined with Islamic thinking and values.
I have nothing against Ilhan Omar, I just wish she would free herself of that misogynistic, LGBT-phobic religion.
Before any say it, I wish Christians would ditch their religion as well. There is actually no mainstream established religion that isn't terribly right wing in practise.

@rbelivb
'Ethnic genocide' is used correctly by you only if we realise ethnicity not physical.Ethnicity certainly has a physical aspect of ancestry, heritage, or lineage. Especially when we are talking in the context of the nation. I don't know what you mean by framing ethnicity as entirely conceptual as some sort of definitional matter. We know that ethnicity, culture, and race are in fact tightly correlated in reality.
Erm, that is the entire problem? That is a racial-normative perspective and even the very parents of children in those cultures and siblings commit it. They say 'you are one of us' and even commit honour killings at their worst, alongside abuse beforehand, to blackmail in particular the females but also the males to keel and obey their ways of life.
I am 0% suggesting stopping mixing of races genetically or restricting racial immigration of any kind at all. I am specifically speaking about pressuring integration of cultures that are brutally conservative to such an extreme degree that doesn't fit with our modern western ways, rather than let them quietly abuse behind closed doors and brainwash their children into extreme outlooks.
There should be strong pressure against subcultures and shanty towns forming, it should be true integration, why should you feel uncomfortable if your neighbours are not your particular subculture? I find it very peculiar that things like 'chinatown' and 'koreatown' even exist and worry for what that means for the integration of immigrants if they can't integrate properly and embrace the new culture and place they've resided in. I have no beef with it at all unless the core values of the culture as so anti-progressive that it runs completley concurrent to where we see as a morally good direction for society to move in.
Set foot in one of their countries and try to push your liberal agenda or libertarian agenda, try to be so arrogant as to get a group of Americans and form an 'Americatown' inside thier culture without integrating. They will simply be bemused and leave you isolated. Then, try and teach them that beating theri children as a means of discipline is wrong and you can find yourself beaten bloody as a 'stay the fuck out of our business, we run things our way' warning or you will simply be alienated to the point where you can't live in a place locally at all and are forced out unless you want to remain homeless.
So when you say genocide of an ethnicity you are using flavorful language to mean a culture defending itself against unwanted pollution from cultures that have direct core value clashes.I would say that the idea that a culture is "defending itself" from the mere existence of another culture, is itself flavorful language.
Existence? What is it you are talking about here? The prevalence (which starts as a snowball effect from untouched presence and influence) of Sharia is not welcome in western cultures and will lead to sexism, homophobia, transphobia, fascistic attitudes and plenty more. Which 'cultural existence' is it that I had particular issue with? Can you be precise?
Can you be clear on what you are suggesting I am advocating.
I would like you to wonder what happens in the long run if all these cultures defend themselves ethnically (and they do, they are all very ethnocentric internally, set foot in their countries as an immigrant and you will be brutally pressured to accept their way of life and held at arm's length as an outsider, the white supremacy in the western world is the normal nationalist and ethnic pride held in other cultures immigrating to the Western countries).You are erasing and ignoring all of the differences between those cultures. "White culture" or "Western culture" etc., have a very different structure, geopolitical status, and history, from any other culture. Being that, all of the "ethnicities" you speak about by necessity, exist within the paradigm of the "nation-state" created, enforced, and maintained by the Western culture which then "defends itself" against them.
What are you talking about? All cultures had a different structure, geopolitical status and history to other cultures. In fact, America is one of the youngest cultures there are so what do you mean by 'history'? Do you mean you don't know how racist and barbaric Sharia regimes were? Or how racist and barbaric Japanese Samurai/Shogun were and Mongolian warriors under Genghis Khan were or like what are you referring to? Do yo uknwo of the Ming Dynasty and the way people were treated? Which culture? Indian Caste system or what? I am not sure which culture was free of the dark side of humanity in terms of what I'm getting at here.
I am left-wing and progressive to the core and I know that the Conservative white locals in our western cultures are overall tame af in their ideology compared to the equivalent innthe very nations that these immigrants are coming from and it is about time we stop demonising and start uniting and negotiating.Apparently since you are left-wing and liberal, and you think these other cultures are inherently against left-wing liberals, doesn't that make you a "Western" supremacist? A lot of what you are saying hangs on this tenuous distinction between ethnicity and race.
I do not think that they are against left-wing liberals, I know it and they are passionately proud of it. Travel and ask them if you want, make a documentary of their answers. Ask them about patriarchal heteronormative roles (in language they can understand, even better translate to the local language for precise communication and answers if you're willing to put in the time and learn) and the answers will no doubt in my mind drop your jaw. Ask them about gay marriage rights, ask them about what the solution to poverty and favelas/ghettos/slums etc are.
I never mentioned race once in our entire conversation, you suddenly brought in eugenics out of nowhere.

I agree entirely with you on this matter. Some spiteful black people who resent being seen as in needy of help will find issue with her saying 'white saviour complex' and other stuff to make her and people like her feel bad for wanting to help and feeling good about helping.
At the end of the day it's women like her that changed things for the better.
Also, you used the word 'eugenics' to refer to a culture defending its values, recently on these forums... So, if anyone has no right to talk about bastardised usage of the term it's you more than any other user on this website.
As for abortion, plan B pill and eugenics the key is how much was known. Was the fetus slaughtered for perhaps being Down's syndrome? Was it slaughtered for being a gender, a certain complexion etc?
Eugenics would be to eliminate those that are 'weak' or 'dumb' or 'low value' and maintain those that are high, at its most sexist and graphic it involves killing baby girls in a culture that favours males.
I do not believe she was racist but I am curious where and how she'd support term limits for abortions and if she'd advocate for doing everything possible to make people not want, seek or go through with abortion in her ideal endgame society.

@3RU7AL
A fetus is involuntarily incarcerated without due process.it is also a squatter, living rent-freeit is also an uninvited guest who refuses to leaveit is also an illegal immigrant, due to be deported
This is precisely why it is morally abhorrent for the left wing to be less pro life than the right wing.
I get it, plan B pill, week 1 abortions but wtf is someone doing months in deciding to slaughter an unborn infant?
It is just insane to me unless her life is at risk or rape keeps traumatising her and it is within the first 3.5 months (really 2 months should be sufficient).
