I've taken away the concepts that we shouldn't cast moral judgements on people.

This is a phrase always and everywhere used to disguise the casting of moral judgement.

The government not doing things is not the same as nothing getting done.

I don't see how that would work. Texas isn't taking down Federally placed border control obstacles or taking control of border crossing checkpoints. They're simply installing more obstacles on the border. Is your supposition that this would inflame California to take down Federally placed obstacles (fences, walls) and to evict the Federal Border Guards from the crossing points and just throw them open? Because that's a whole level of escalation that I don't believe is even plausible at this time.

I don't believe for a second that giving weapons to Ukraine is saving Ukrainian lives. Especially now that it's apparently devolved into a static almost trench warfare situation. Every weapon given to them prolongs the conflict by X amount, and certainly results in some amount of casualties during that interval.

Hatred for evil is appropriate. Pedophilia is evil. Controversial, I know.

Have your citizens grow fat, lazy and unwilling to risk their lives, especially in far away wars that they see no benefit from anyway

The fun part is they can probably recruit enough citizens to fill the military, but only if they weren't actively repelling the half of the country that is patriotic and nationalistic.

That would have been dishonorable

So Rufo finds himself in a bit of a pickle. He's fully aware that he can't say "Thomas Jefferson, the man who believed blacks were inferior and held 130 of them in bondage, was not a racist" with a straight face.

The right move is to turn this around. YOU, Robinson, are doing something so totally heinous today that in 200 years all people will condemn you as a terrible bigot. But you can't even see what it is with your own eyes. Is the future right to condemn you?

notably, Israel knows that there would never be peace because Hamas's end goal is literally the destruction of Israel and they'll never settle for anything less

That's not even the most notable difference. The Afghans weren't attempting to remove America from Long Island, they were attempting to remove America from Afghanistan. The Algerians weren't trying to take Provence, they were trying to take Algeria.

I’m saying you’re wrong, it is used in a non derogatory sense, because circumlocutions are the only way to talk about that subject in many places.

Also, do not use reddit/rdrama euphemisms like "the trains." Speak clearly (and you can feel how you feel about trans people, but you cannot use generalized pejoratives directed in a way that includes other posters here).

Let's be fair, "trains" is a necessary circumlocution on most platforms, and therefore not necessarily a pejorative - just a circumlocution.

Elon has ten kids from adult to under 2…. Calling him an incel is literally retarded. Clearly this is not a man who lacks for sex.

Well… to establish my bonafides I’m a Linux user personally and professionally, but there are some very obvious reasons to use iPhone over Android. One is quality. There’s simply no comparison in build quality from basically any android phone to an iPhone. Second is updates. My iPhone will get quick software updates years and years past the end of (slow and unpredictable) support for most android phones. Third is usability. iPhones are much more usable than any Android I’ve had out of the box. Apple Pay is great. iMessage is great, the camera is great.

I understand the desire to tinker on your devices, I truly do, but the iPhone is superior on basically every metric except tinkering, which means it’s better for almost everyone.

It seems like the "move fast and break things" ethos could still have a proper place in physical engineering. I look at SpaceX, for example. They move quickly and break things... until they have a reliable product they can safely put humans on. Falcon 9 is arguably the most reliable rocket in the world, because they were willing to move fast and break things.

What would that look like with a deep submersible? Maybe an autonomous version that gets extensive testing and use before you put people on it? I don't know.

If everyone can simply choose to live by taking the red pill, how is that morally incorrect?

Wait are we talking about Palestinians or Fremen?

Maybe. On the other hand, books offer convenient access to information with zero continued effort or resource expenditure on the part of the author/publisher. What do I mean by this? Consider the phenomenon of linkrot. There are a few causes of linkrot - an org may revamp their website, someone may lose interest in the subject and stop maintaining the site, someone might die and not have made arrangements for the continuation of a site, among others.

With a book, none of these are a problem. Yes, it comes with other issues of course.

Maybe this is simply a weird perspective from someone focused on a niche-ish hobby, but I would almost rather have the reference material in book form than online, simply because I don't think it'll stay online eternally. Whereas no one is going to take my copy of FN Browning Pistols offline.

You did this.

Well, "we" as in the US elites did this. "We" the broad populace of the US did not. I personally would be happy for you guys to roll your own way on all matters foreign and domestic. It would be good for the American soul to have real competitors and not just fake ones.

God bless you for reminding me of my genuine love for my country as I daily watch endless efforts to destroy it and render it unrecognizable by the left. Should you ever make it to this country, I would be happy to take you shooting.

It doesn't seem like it has to be either expensive or anti-social.

Expense seems to be related to government regulation.

Anti-socialness seems to be related to douchebags blowing giant vapor clouds.

Neither is inherent.

There seems to be no upside.

Unless you want to dose yourself with nicotine. Which is as valid an upside as dosing yourself with caffeine is.

the fascist government in Finland fought on for an additional 3 years after VE day.

So... the Finns called WWII the Continuation War, e.g. a continuation of the 1939-1940 Winter War. They signed an armistice with the USSR in September 1944. Which is a a solid 8 months before VE Day.

I'm less up on Finnish internal politics of the period, but I think a lot of them would take issue with calling the Finnish wartime government "fascist."

I don't know why you're so skeptical of Starship? They've clearly been making tons of progress on it. Hell, they even launched a failed test.

I can see why you might call Elon a bit of a hype machine, but really, he has delivered on quite a lot of his hype.

Electric cars? Yep

Electric trucks? Yeah

Self driving? Eh, no

Charging network? Yeah

Tons of battery manufacturing? Yeah

Orbital Rocket? Yeah

Reusable Orbital Rocket? Yeah

Reusable Heavy Orbital Rocket? Yeah

LEO satellite internet? Yeah.

Tunnels under every city? No.

Seems pretty unlikely at this point. They already have (arguably) the most reliable rocket in the world.

If you don't have an affirmative case for why gun rights are more valuable than X dead kids per year, I hate to tell you, but you're going to lose.

The affirmative case is obvious: X dead kids per year is a small price to pay for the impediment to tyranny an armed populace offers. How many kids will the next totalitarian state kill for ideological reasons? It's going to be more than die by the happenstance of gun crime.

My only real question with the Holocaust is why did it go from an over-arching term for Nazi genocide killing 11 million to a Jewish specific genocide term covering 6 million. All my childhood I remember hearing 11 million, 11 million.
