Gheleon the Driven you’re missing the point. You have the same exact thought process that idiot Sargon has. Black people don’t get married often because of socioeconomic and racial issues that still exist in America that lead to them unable to have a stable family. This is putting the horse before the wagon. Black people don’t have issues because they aren’t married, that doesn’t make any logical sense, they aren’t married because of the issues still existed in the country. The only way your thought process would work is to admit that black people some how have some weird gene that lead them to create a culture that doesn’t let them married which just doesn’t make sense biologically.

@Chocobot101 yea i feel like he came with two main arguments on immigration that were classic cancervative pedantry, they were quickly dismantled and yet he just decided to repeat them over and over and pretend to laugh when he had nothing else. I'd say vaush is good because he can unlike most people succinctly back up his ideas on the fly and has basically never lost an argument let alone a debate. There are others on his level of sociological and historical understanding but he both opens his stream up to chuds and directly goes after weasels like baby chin pool, louder coward and ben shapino all the while addressing the essential grift at the heart of counter-revolutionary pedantry.

@Chocobot101 you'll have to link me that or namecheck it I'm not seeing it. As far as i can tell people like Sargon and the various alt-right guys rely on the idea that immigration hurts the working class but won't accept the answer that you can just mitigate this with the most tepid of socialist policies. I mean sure theres a bunch of issues with changing demographics but the positives surely outweight them and it's really just an inevitable thing at this point.

[@Nathan-ok1dq]

@@divusartemis2045 I'm not dale but there's a couple of consistent errors I see people make that have crept into your viewpoint here. The first is that conservatives don't want anyone in trouble to be helped. Generally the refinement here is that conservatives find it morally repugnant to FORCE aid (ie. through government) rather than participating willfully in community service, charity, etc... Statistically conservatives have been more likely to give to charity for that matter. Conflating conservatism with Christianity isn't a correct assumption, but even if it were Christianity doesn't generally advocate for government action beyond restraining evildoers/justice, etc... it advocates for personal and church action. On a practical level there's also a fear of enabling. The more local a support/service organization is the more likely they are able to wisely distribute funds, etc... tying people into their community rather than making them beholden to a faceless government they feel no obligation to. There's certainly arguments that can be made for and against this kind of opinion but saying "the government should give everyone healthcare" doesn't give someone the moral high-ground.

[@Nathan-ok1dq]

@@divusartemis2045 A lot was said but the specific thing that interested me the most were your comments about police/fire. Perhaps ultraconservatives would be against that but I think most conservatives do have a concept of a public good that is not identical to government charity. Additionally police and fire are typically more local than centralized, and the more local a government body is the more answerable it is to its constituents (theoretically) obviously then you can get into the SBI and FBI etc... but this was meant to illustrate a general theme.

[@Nathan-ok1dq]

@@divusartemis2045 As the argument goes the state has clearly defined roles at its most basic level, IE in a state of nature people have perfect freedom but limited security so governments are instituted to secure rights with a minimum of interference in those rights. Thus judicial functions and protection of its citizens is a governments highest and rightful obligation, but charitable functions like a social safety net, welfare, medicare for all, etc... are suspect. That's exposition based on a lockean view, I'm not as familiar with a conservative version of the hobbesian view. Then of course you get into the actual practical arguments about whether government is the best tool for some things. What's the cost of giving the government the power to do a good thing, etc... mingled with the fact that all politicians and philosophers are human, so the best rationale doesn't mean the results will be great lol.

As a Korean-American, it's great that South Korea gets so much props for their handling of Covid. However, Sargon's point on "liberty" is right. There is no culturlal importance set on the concept of privacy in Korea. They basically traded all privacy (contact tracing via location data, phone tracing, messaging, etc.) for safety (which they will probably never get back) Whether the trade is worth it is an interesting philosophical debate. But I just want people to know there is a trade.

[@SeruraRenge11]

@Eren Yeager Probably because Korea has had maybe 20 years tops where it wasn't ruled by either a king, a foreign empire, or a military dictatorship. It isn't exactly a culture that has had much liberty to care about.

[@mamayareborn]

There is no trade. Your privacy is meaningless; the government absolutely does not care what you're doing. This idea that there's some office somewhere where government people in suits are spying your every move and judging you is such an unbelievably stupid and so centrally american perspective of life that it's hard to take seriously -- and believe me, out of respect, I am trying. Your "privacy" was foregone the moment satellites became a thing, Damien. If the government wants to know where you are, they will, and they'll never need to ask for your permission. You'll never even know. Equally, and since I know a lot of pro-gun people tend to share this idea of "THE GUBMENT SEEIN ALL MA NUDES"; if the government wanted you dead, or wanted to control the population or subjugate them, I could always remind you that they have fighter jets, tanks, and thousands of trained soldiers. But honestly, they wouldn't need any of that since they have access to your water supplies and, should they be willing, you'd all be poisoned and killed within one week before any of you even knew what the fuck was going on. So, yeah, needless to say: I 100% side with South Korea. Fuck this silly concept of "privacy". Nobody gives a fuck where you are at all times and I'll gladly trade that information in, if it means that I'll be safer in the longrun.

20:45 sargon is grossly misinformed on death numbers, or he is intentionally dishonest. Direct c19 death, sure it might be low, but that is not all doctors are looking at, they are also looking at co-morbidity, deaths caused by things brought on by c19, like pneumonia. This doesn't mean that c19 doesn't kill a lot, when medical researchers look at how deadly a virus is they have to include the co-morbidity in the numbers for them to actually be accurate. One bigger problem with c19 when compared to the former SARS outbreak, is that c19 significantly more infectious.

[@Yoshsterpalooza]

Well considering the death rate is about .5 it’s not very high, and considering deaths of people who were already dying of some underlying issue are being added to represent the average citizens likelihood of dying, its not a good way to present the deaths.

[@giovalladares1022]

The fact that 94% of COVID deaths had 2.6 underlying conditions means those who die from this are on the way out. That’s a generalization but not a terribly inaccurate one. If we exposed the young and healthy to the virus and isolated the high risk then we would be mostly over with the virus like other countries are. The death rate for children over 4 to people under 45 is identical to the regular flu.

[@cypherdk85]

@@Yoshsterpalooza right, let me ask you this then. Let's say a person has terminal brain cancer, they get into a car crash that gives them swelling in the brain and that kills them. What should be noted as the cause of death? Should the cancer be the cause of death? Should the swelling in the brain? Or should the car crash be noted as the actual cause? The reason I ask, is that a person may have some underlying condition beforehand that may or may not kill them, but they can still die beforehand because of something else. For example you might have severe lung problems that will end up killing you, but if you then get c19 and that gives further problems and you then die, that still means that you died because of c19.

[@cypherdk85]

@@giovalladares1022 do you have a source for those very specific numbers? Just curious. Also, you do realise that when healthy people get over c19 their lungs aren't in great shape afterwards, right? Add to that, that you can get it again after having had it, you aren't immune after you've had it. And with damaged lungs from the first time your chances of survival are lower if you get it a second time. Are you going to claim that it's not because of c19 that they might die, its just because of lung damage?

[@giovalladares1022]

CyphDK I had COVID. My lungs healed 100% because I’m young. Unless you have underlying conditions you will heal completely.

[@smalltrashman4227]

No he was talking about how if you tell someone there is no evidence of something they will believe that the said thing is untrue. Surely you understand this? So when the WHO says that there is no evidence of human to human transmission, it causes people to believe human to human transmission isn't a thing for covid. This is why they should have accompanied the statement with something like, " but other strains of coronavirus have consistently shown human to human transmission, so it's better to be safe and keep a distance to other people."

Carl is being dishonest regarding the Sweden death-rate. The country itself is five times bigger than a country like Portugal, another European country that underwent a strict lockdown. Population size is comparable to Portugal (around 11 million). So, population density is many times lower than Portugal, yet the population is about the same size -- this means that, by logic alone, transmission should be well below what's expected of a country five times smaller and with the same amount of people. Especially if they're doing "Social distancing" like Carl says. With all of that said, Sweden's death rate and cases skyrocket above Portugal's; twice the number of cases and a whopping three times the number of deaths. Sweden is not a success case; this is absolutely misinformation banking on American's general ignorance of European events. If anyone's reading this after the fact: Do not let him, or anyone else fool you on this.

This perfectly sums up how Brexit only costs us influence on the continent but plays to people's fragile sense of what it means to be British in a post-colonial world where we actually hold very little power and we're now stepping out of institutions that we helped to form to keep our power in the world.

Does destiny think the industrial revolution and its consequences has been a disaster for the human race???

Destiny is wrong about the EU army. Even just a quick wiki search lists plenty of sources that show keen interest from numerous member states and important figures in the EU. They're not quite there yet, but what was unthinkable a decade or two ago is a very real option now. I think Destiny may have fell for some bad sources or something, because he seemed completely certain that there was no such thing while in reality it is discussed all the time and interest in an EU military is far greater than it once was.

Federal gov. doesnt have the authority to enact lockdowns on the states or other measures they wanted taken. its not how our gov is set up. Literally does not have the legal ability to do so. Tariffs/immigration are the responsibility of the executive branch.

[@lysergidedaydream5970]

"Tariffs/immigration are the responsibility of the executive branch." What..? You mean the federal government, not the executive branch, right? Also, there are more duties of both than just tarrifs and immigration, no?

Theres actually a very simple reason why the Asian countries dealt much better with the pandemic: The people there are MUCH healthier. They eat healthier, have better health care systems, the percentage of the population that's overweight/obese is between 20 and 30, whereas in the US its over 70.

56:00 What seems to happen is that when immigration expands, conversation does not improve or become "more honest". Instead, rich elites just get more power, which enables policy that limits taxes on large companies. Because of how US elections work (Super PACs, large donors etc.) the push is not for more taxation in response to immigration, but less taxation. This seems to be the case both before Trump and today.

1:25:00 THIS right here is the MOST POWERFUL part of the entire discussions! In terms of the world view and difference between Liberals and Conservatives, it all comes down to this: What is the governments role in our society?

I'm only 9 minutes in, but I'm seeing Destiny already fall into the trap of thinking all police departments are a monolith. 1. People are always saying "improve training improve training" but it's like how? improve which training? New York City has one of the most advanced police departments in the entire world, and the requirements for joining are extremely rigorous. A police department in rural Wisconsin does not need nearly the same level of rigor. 2. Destiny is commenting on how some police departments have tanks. Yeah, some police departments have a lot of funding and get leftover military gear. But there are police departments that literally can't afford proper tasers (I heard this in a donut operator video), let alone an entire system for body cameras. Obviously, I will never say it's wrong to make policing way more efficient. But I feel like people are making these arguments thinking that police departments are a monolith, and without ever having listened to or spoken to a police officer about it. About Trump's response to the coronavirus. I'm certain there were plenty of things that Trump should have done before the number of cases exploded, but I agree with Carl that really nobody took it seriously until it started to explode. And when it did, Trump was really on top of communicating with the public and listening to his epidemic response team. But we also have to remember that the US is a federal republic, and states have the power to do whatever they feel is necessary to protect themselves from the virus. IQ is extremely powerful in predicting one's success in life. And it's a really powerful way of explaining why there are some racial disparities that remain true all over the globe. So we can steer away from this idea that "Everyone is capable of being rich and successful if they just try hard enough." No someone with an IQ of 85 is going to have an EXTREMELY hard time of being rich and successful. Now if you have an entire population that has an average IQ of 85, then you can see why that community may not be as successful as other groups with higher average IQs. Current research consistently suggests IQ is really easy to decrease, but is nearly impossible to significantly increase permanently. Using this knowledge can help you figure out better ways of helping these people achieve a decent life without the "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" line. About China's immigration. Sure China is willing to let in lots of immigrants for work purposes, but it also is extremely hard to become a citizen and you will be deported so fast if you do bad shit. Kinda wish America had that too. If you add 700 million immigrants to make a billion citizens, you no longer live in America. America as a nation is now dead and has been obliterated. Good luck with whatever you have left but that's not a nation anymore. I think Destiny forgets that over half of the federal budget is spent on social programs, including social security, Medicaid, and Medicare. So it's not like your immediately fucked if you're poor or disabled. And last time I checked, the US has some of the best cancer survivor rates in the world. But of course, the system could be way way better. "Xenophobia is the dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries." Trump calling it the "China Virus" is not xenophobia by definition. He's saying "fuck you China the country" not "fuck you every Chinese person". Constantly calling it xenophobia is like those idiots who constantly call everything racist or transphobic. Obviously, it's not the best way to name a virus, it's more than anything just a jab at China. And interesting how Destiny says calling it the "Chinese virus" is wrong because Chinese is an ethnicity. Chinese is also a nationality? It's like if you called something the "Swedish flu" I don't believe a rational person immediately thinks "we are naming the virus after the people of Swedish ethnicity", no they would think this is a virus that comes from the country of Sweden.
