This shit just infuriates me. Just pure debate-bro idealism. You don't need to fucking go to the first principles and ground your axioms for every fucking issue. Sometimes, you can just agree that racism = bad. Like, no, fuck off, no one has to explain to you why racism is bad. Fuck off. Why do you think racism is bad?
I watched that stupid "debate." the whole idea was the noncomplete guy was in the wrong because he could not give a reason for why genocide is bad. Why do you need some kind of highly structured and curated logical framework for why genocide is bad
Why do you need to appeal to some kind of higher level abstract concept to explain anything
Genocide is bad. It makes me sad and angry. That's it. Luna Oi and the Noncomplete guy have more patience than I'll ever have and they only talked to him like 5 mintues
NonCompete says that hurting and killing people is bad, Vaush immediately replies "was it bad when we hurt and killed the Nazis?" If Vaush actually applied this framework to the Nazis, he would conclude that they weren't so bad because all they did was hurt and kill people.
I give V**sh a few years before he just comes out as a conservative Catholic

No, don't you understand how irrational you're being by opposing genocide based on emotion? You can't just have a set of mutually understood values! :pit:
Seriously though, this is why these fucks can't understand why we're against Israel and other actively genocidal powers cough:amerikkka:cough
As long as they're able to feign impartiality, they will ignore and in turn, enable, genocide and fascism in general. I just wish they weren't doing a Buttons and Mindy sketch the entire time.

Oh yeah I remember that. I remember one comment that was like "materialism is just the fuel in the tank, you need an ethical framework as the engine"
The entire time I'm just :jesse-wtf:
These people have the weirdest concerns and concept of how the world operates

There's also a part in "Against Book Worship" by Mao where he expresses the same sentiment

Hmm I wonder of anyone wrote anything about how morality and ethics were influenced by one’s environment and material conditions :soviet-hmm:
Materialism is a good way to predict that your slaves will eventually put a bullet in your head though.
