Everyone in Washington wants war but won't personally pay the consequences. In the same vein, individuals on the right and the left that are calling for civil war will never be the ones who get their hands dirty. They will cowardly incite violence and then watch it on tv or their smartphones. I don't want civil war.

@@thebluepsycho4947 The irony here is that there is a valid way to critique destiny here. If we accept that democracy is the meta that must always be upheld then that must mean that anyone who is not in support of democracy is necessarily going to be a justified target for aggression or censorship. If they are not the, then paradox of intolerance still comes into play. He could bite the bullet on that but then he'll need to accept that given his own principle of tit for tat, if the side that pushes against democracy comes into power and they choose to use it to dismantle democracy for there own end then the pro democracy ends up being perpetually shafted everytime they lose power to opponents. Basically if democracy is the meta rule then people who are anti democracy must necessarily be prevented from having power, making censorship there acceptable. So censoring right wing individuals would be immoral but censoring anti democratic individuals is acceptable. Im not sure if he would be for that.

The utter dissolution of the word violence, into meaning you not agreeing with me, or even you mistakenly misgendered me, intentionality completely ignored (not that it shoudl matter, intentional or not, it's not violence), being considered violence, and thus "self defense" suddenly becoming a proper response in their minds. These are violent authoritarians desperately looking for justifications for their violent desires. This is why I've become entirely opposed to all medical care that enables and encourages ones gender dysphoria. The dysphoria is a mental illness, you do not treat a mental illness, by positively affirming and embracing it, I believe this approach is leading to high numbers of untreated mental illness in the trans community, and some of that seems to be mental disorders/illness that results in violent behavior, based on the absurdly high number of trans mass shooters in the last couple years.

[@FreerunningGamer]

@@antithetical3817 Yeah it might be based. But its based in unironic self-fulfilling political insanity. To decry an entire group of people and amp others up for civil war in the name of political ideology is the exact opposite of what anyone Should want in modern society. This is the type of nonsensical sht that caused the civil war in the United States. Dumb poor farmers with no education being lied to by people who are so sure in their political beliefs that they'd kill other people for them. Even better, this is the type of sht that caused us to intervene in the Middle East so frequently throughout history. It resulted in the ruination of a nation and the rise of extremist terror the likes of which we hadn't seen prior(talking overall interference not just the War on Terror). If we want to co-exist in this world then everyone needs to understand that each person has their own interpretation and understanding of events/culture. So the idea that some people are "wrong" so you can castigate or destroy them, instead of attempting to bridge the gap and offer a more nuanced position to them is ridiculous and inhumane. Not to mention extremely authoritarian/fascistic. It's bad when people who don't even have a fully formed brain or experience outside of school are activated in such a manner that they'd tell other people to be indignant or violent towards others for having a political affiliation. The only caveat being if the political party they affiliate with is literally killing, calling for killing or otherwise eroding the sanctity of the nation and the people within it. Even then it would be based on the core tenants that created the nation to begin with. What this person refuses to acknowledge is that outside of the political/online sphere most people are just normal people who don't want others to be oppressed, killed or have any wrong done to them. They simply want a nice life for themselves and the ones they love that falls within their frame of moral understanding(i.e Christians probably want to be able to believe in God openly within their community or Transgender people might want to be seen as a normal person regardless of their gender situation). So the idea that Destiny states where the grounds on which we label people needs to be a lot more strict, such that the bad people are known as bad people so that normal folks don't get punished for actions they either don't condone or even know about, logically follows.

The kid already said that he doesn't advocate for it if he thinks it would fail. "Overriding meta morals" seems like BS. Few "believe" in the current government or law, we just accept it because the system we live under can accommodate our basic material needs. If a subversive element exists then you can excise it and return to business as usual. Monarchists are a rare sight, I wonder why that is.

I'm sorry, but this is just flat out wrong. Destiny's not proposing practical issues as retorts to having political violence as a tool in your toolbelt, he's proposing it because when they were talking about de-platforming conservatives, when Destiny said: "But there are a lot of people that would argue that if we could de-platform from them from as many places as possible that that would lead to good" this kid agreed, and when Destiny pushed him on that and just asked: "But then if they think the same about you how do you resolve that disagreement?" the kid just says "some of us are right and some of us are wrong." (which, if you read between the lines, basically means I'm right and they are wrong) and when Destiny asked, well, how do you figure out who's right or wrong, the kid basically said: "Well, if I believe someone is wrong I can appeal to like inter-subjective ideas about like what morality is or should be." This doesn't work because, in politics, everyone believes they are correct in supporting the causes they support. It doesn't matter if they are objectively right or not, *subjectively, or from their own perspective, they're right, and by this kid's logic, just because I, from my own perspective, or *subjectively think that the causes you support are causing harm, I should be able to get you expelled if you are still in school, fired if you have a job, and basically have your name be dragged through the mud, because, from my perspective I was right in doing so. > ""Overriding meta morals" seems like BS. Few "believe" in the current government or law, we just accept it because the system we live under can accommodate our basic material needs." I'll just quote Destiny here (the Christian / Muslim hypothetical) : "If a Muslim and a Christian get into an ethical disagreement with one another then they need to appeal to the state to resolve that disagreement. That's where my justification comes from for why we have to have a meta rule system or meta-narrative that's why law exists it's because sometimes two people will have a moral disagreement and the way that it's settled is to look to the law." (Now to preface this, I don't believe this is his ****only**** justification as to why law exists.) And i do agree that this third system, as bad as you might think it is, needs to exist because if it didn't, everyone would be free to enact whatever violence they deem is correct on anyone they disagree with about anything. And as a last thing, I think (and I might be wrong here) that you misunderstood Destiny about "Overriding meta morals". While sure, you might have some people that would say "Oh, the law is 100% correct in every case possible with no exceptions" I don't think that Destiny agrees with that, or, frankly, most of the world's population. I think that Destiny would more agree with something along the lines of "Not all overriding meta morals are law, but basically all law is overriding meta morals." At least when it came to most regular people. (I'm not talking about corporate law and all the bullshit that goes on in there, just the law that affects the citizens.) Basically those overriding meta-morals would be something along the lines of: "You can't just kill people that disagree with you, you can't steal things that aren't yours, etc...", which is law already but as stated above, that's fine. If you got this far, thanks for reading all of this, and I apologize that this came out as long as it did, I'm running on basically no sleep for the last couple of days, and English isn't my main language, so this could've probably been written more concisely, and most likely without some grammatical errors I overlooked.

Since you are not commenting on practical concerns, I believe that you are under the mistaken belief that the rules we make for ourselves must also apply to our opponents. They do not. No moral disagreements are settled by the state. When legal matters are decided, there is nothing about the court that would change anyone's mind on the topic of morality. It doesn't resolve the disagreement, only the conflict. Laws and the state exist as a practical necessity that is imposed on people. Like all political matters, it has no inherent connection to morality. States resolve conflicts between domestic parties, they have no effect on morality. When people say "you can't just steal" they are either making a practical observation about it being an ill-advised discision or a moral statement detached from the law. If someone agrees with the law it is by coincidence.

kids like this WOULD be an existential threat to my side (moderate), if they weren't now brain rotted and leashed to the internet, its that simple, if this many people were radicalized and actually went outside, we'd have already had small uprising events across the east and west coast.

@@factandsuspicionpodcast2727 I was thinking the left is the one really pushing. Media and various tech platforms, but also guys like this. If more violence happens, which this guy is advocating, the right might see them as an existential threat. That just leaves the door wide open to each side moving quickly to more extreme leaders, and large scale violence would follow.

It's like that old saying that Everybody is a gangster till they get punched in the face. Nothing is resolved with violence. You're still faced with the same set of issues that you had from the outset,yet now you have a broken nose(if you're lucky. Could be a lot worse) and you still have the same set of issues that you had from the outset? Acknowledgement of the free speech & understanding of what that means is a good start. Understanding it's power in delivery as well as it's power within your own ideals,with regards to self awareness and understanding your own reactions to the power of free speech is a good start to conversation,debate,argument,call it what you want? But just grasping this simple concept of the double edged sword of free speech can be beneficial for creating inner integrity of that which you might stand for,as you are looking at things from both the perspective of yourself and of others. Such a basic concept,yet one that a lot of people fail to acknowledge either through lack of awareness,ignorance or just plain old stubbornness?

This one was hard. This was basically a long argument about people not being able to agree universally on a moral framework. And the opponents default position was basically, "I think I have good reasons for my opinion, therefore I am right and we can enact violence on those who disagree because they are wrong because them having an opinion opposite of mine is violence towards me."

I think people like this are more threatening theoretically. Weak people are more likely to be underhanded and deceptive. Ever heard the saying that’s like,"weak men are more dangerous than strong men?" A coward is more likely to have a mindset to win no matter what. I knew this guy who died defending his girlfriend from sexual assault in a local club. When he went to fight the dude who assaulted her, he kicked the assaulter’s ass. Then the other guy realized he was going to lose, took out a box cutter, and stabbed the guy 5 times in the stomach. He fled the scene and left the guy bleeding on the pavement. It’s also a common trope in literature. For example, the king’s advisor is often a deceptive backstabber who is out to gaslight the king into killing those who are actually loyal to the throne. When all the people who are capable of stopping him are gone, he’ll then reap the rewards of being the "only trustworthy" advisor, or kill the king and take the throne himself
