@Monodeath What are you talking about? What magazine? This was not a post on your server, you cant remove it even if you wanted to... and what makes you think you can tell me what topics I can or can not talk about?

@Empiricism_Reloaded @TruthSandwich

How many young people will pretend to care about an issue as an excuse to not go to school... plenty... does she sincerely care aobut the issue... maybe, probably not. She probably wanted to play hookie and when she got swept into the spotlight she ran with it.

I have no issue with her climate activism itself, its good people are speaking out.. but when you use it as an excuse to skip school... no.

As I said gret skipping school to bring awareness to climate change is the equivelant of someone who is pro education starting an oil fire to bring awareness to education... its not worthy of praise.

@Empiricism_Reloaded

Yup, im mad with power! I lit an oil fire in my backyard just a few minutes ago cause I was bored :)

@TruthSandwich

@Empiricism_Reloaded

Yea sorry but the elitism angle is a weak one... I mean sure the people selling the gas lie, so do many of the people who buy it to justify it to themselves. So does everyone with regard to their self interests... not saying that makes it right, but the blame isnt on the elite alone.

@TruthSandwich

@TruthSandwich

Fair point, as for the rules who are climate change denialists, I think its a mixed bag... most I do think still beleive it, because most are pretty stupid... some are probably faking it though.

@Empiricism_Reloaded

As a pro-education supporter I took Greta's cue on activism and decided every time students skip school I will burn oil drums in protest until there is 100% attendance :)

@TruthSandwich

@TruthSandwich

Im no sure I believe here. I think the climate change denialists fully believe their BS.

@Empiricism_Reloaded

@freepeoplesfreepress The right to bear arms is an essential right!

I dont disagree with you in principle, obviously everyone wants to reduce needless death.

But I ask you to consider, why did you choose the language "I would like to eliminate mass shootings" and not "I'd like to eliminate mass murder" or even just murder? You never hear people use any other means as a qualifier "I'd like to eliminate mass stabbings" or "I'd like to eliminate mass poisonings" or any of the other ways people can (and have) been killed en mass. For that matter when you are more likely to be struck by lightening than being involved in a mass murder of any kind, why is that a focus at all, regardless of weapon?

@TruthSandwich

Sounds like something the elite would say.... ::eyes you suspiciously::

@Empiricism_Reloaded

@TruthSandwich

I think your not putting enough value on the beach front property I mentioned earlier :)

@Empiricism_Reloaded

@TruthSandwich

Yea, well some people put pinapple on their pizza too. No skin off my back if they want to have backwards opinions :)

@Empiricism_Reloaded

@TruthSandwich

Really, I'm pro climate change.. think of all the advantages, milder winters, nice beach weather summers. If we get lucky even water level rises and we have tons of new cheap waterfront property! Best yet, it means most of the humans all die off off... its hard to see the down side!

@Empiricism_Reloaded

I mean... some truth to that... most of the "common sense" gun laws proposed are completely ignorant of why it is the way it is.

@TruthSandwich

Then instead of debating what the word means in some absolute sense it is more helpful to ask what they meant the word to mean when they used it, then youll know and it will be less headache.

@Empiricism_Reloaded

@TruthSandwich

There are tons of words that are self contradictory. in fact it is so common it has a term, that would be called an "autoantomym"

@Empiricism_Reloaded

@TruthSandwich

again, neoliberal is literally translated to "new-age liberal".. the fact that some people refer to new-age liberals as one specific point in time, and others use other points in time is not really important. You are trying to create a narrow definition when the true fdefinition is broad.

One thing ifind interesting is you argued this very point with me weeks ago and claimed you never heard of someone using neoliberal to differentiate libertarianism/classically liberal.. yet here you are arguing with like the 10th person I've seen that neo-liberal means what you say it means rather than what the 10 of us used it to mean so far... so clearly both uses occur and are common, that alone shows the definition is used broadly and not narrowly.

@Empiricism_Reloaded

@Empiricism_Reloaded

I think semantics are only important so far as everyone knows what is trying to be said... beyond that its just noise.

@TruthSandwich

@Empiricism_Reloaded

Neoliberal literally translates to "new-age liberal".. if you are refering to new-age liberals as opposed to classical liberals I think its a fine term, albeit a bit general.

@TruthSandwich

@kirby

It is called Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation... nothing wrong with a movement being represented by a centralized entitty. But that means we get to judge them based on central principles too.

@realcaseyrollins

I think its a deadend to try to understand the logic of anyone on the political extremes.. the truth is they wanted to do it because some edgy person with a voice said it, it sounded cool and unique, so everyone parroted it. Actually thinking critically and debating nuance is not something they do (they being the extreme left and right).
