After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, Britain did not 'have the right to do whatever they wanted with the territory'- it was set up as a 'mandate', and not a 'colony'. The stated aim of a mandate was to 'prepare a region for independence in the near future.' The same was done in territories like German east Africa, Syria, Cameroon, and Togo. This definition separates it from a colony, which was 'imperial administration for the protection and proliferation of British Settler and Commercial interest in a region.' Most mandates were run at a huge lost to France and Britain, there was very little corporate interest and the level of immigration into these regions were practically non-existent. This is important to clarify. Thanks for reading!

[@heinshaaine8153]

Which is what they did. Even the partition plan had that goal in mind.

[@radchad992]

They put in very sympathetic governments to to their governments it may have not been a colony but it was established with their interests in mind. To say that they didn’t have discretion on who or what went down in any of these places is a naive at best and subversive at worst.

@@radchad992 this is true, but it is also important to clarify these mandates were not conquests in the traditional sense and were not set up to remain under permanent colonial subjection.

[@abdmzn]

Yea destiny came off as pretty incoherent in this discussion.

[@mr-h6x]

thing about moral relativism is that it's marketed as respect the boundaries of other people with different subjective valuations in reality, even the rationalization for it is contradicted by the fact that in some cultures, they are oppressing groups like the lgbt and women or minorities. in that sense that culture too, is imposing it's culture upon those who don't share it. it's a self defeating position

[@hartyewh1]

If we go all the way down the issue is individual differences say at a genetic or disposition level. No one specific morality can fit all the difference so some blurring of the lines and balancing of the boundaries is necessary.

[@8020drummer]

I think what’s elided here is there’s a conflict between the ideal norms globally and the principle of plurality. Maybe a better way to put this for destiny is to make the utilitarian argument that in general more humans succeed with freedom and human rights, but there’s a competing value of allowing nations that disagree to coexist peacefully, and the second imperative outweighs the first except in cases where there’s a violation so egregious that it’s worth risking the global order to enforce it cross-border, and that norms so stark they’re worth going to war for are peremptory by definition.

This and the Dr K conversation shed a lot of light on Destiny and how he gets into certain standoffs on different topics with people... and the basic takeaway is that he doesn't infer things in the most common way people infer something, in this case the underlying point of a question, while answering in a way that is very particular to him so the other side isn't clued in to the specific context he frames his answer in. Might as well be speaking a different language.

I agree with Steven on viewing countries based on their standards and not on mine because I could be wrong and views change and we grow and who knows if what we believe now will be the same in a few years or a hundred years from now. There's just certain things that you can't change and almost comes of a morally superior and not a very good thing and that could come back to bite you because others could do the same to you.

[@inteallsviktigt]

How is the act of cultural or moral superiority bad? If you believe it’s a defendable in your society how does it change in other places?

[@rachaelvaughan1017]

@@inteallsviktigt Because people have different cultures and beliefs. There's a difference between having different views vs enforcing those views on other people. For example I grew up Christian and I still consider myself a Christian but I don't hold other people to those standards for which they don't subscribe too, even though I've had a very positive experience and have never come across anyone speaking negatively about lgbt within the church (i only hear that from other people online). it doesn't mean that others wouldn't have had those experiences and also at one point it was deemed acceptable to own slaves by a huge percentage of the population so whose to say that whatever beliefs that we hold currently won't be seen in 100 years as horrible as how we view people who owned slaves? Obviously we don't know what views from the future will look like

[@Mysticvanee]

The other thing is especially if you are having a debate with someone doesn’t really care about engaging in good faith your goal is to be clear and appeal to the audience. The audience typically have a more simple and moralistic view so that’s should be the first appeal rather than the moral relevance to the time period..

I think morals for the most part are going to be generally constructed based on where and how you are raised. For example, if you were raised in Afghanistan, in a family that deeply involved with the Taliban, you most likely will not have the same moral standards for women’s rights as someone living in the US. Removing yourself from much higher standards that you’re accustomed to can be really difficult. Not to say Afghanistan has it right by any stretch, however making that statement does come from my mind that has been constructed in a society that has a much higher standard and value system for women’s rights. My and many others experiences with women’s rights and the overall good that comes from those, can’t just be implanted in the brains of those pushing to subjugate women in Afghanistan. It’s going to take a much greater cultural shift of the people to move that forward

[@Dino_Pony]

Loved Rose Wrist, his commentary will be missed

[@GiltleyRage]

This moral relativist rabbit hole Destiny and Erudite enter is really dumb cause both of them have their moral stances strong enough to believe they're universal. And if you don't think something is universal, it's less of a moral stance and more of a preference. And even if you have strong belief, you can say something is morally wrong in your opinion and don't have the desire to force it on people. You can even admitt that certain setup may work for certain groups of people giving their culture and background even though it's objectively and separately wrong thing to do. It does not contradicts itself. I guess thats what Destiny is tryig to say but calling it moral relativism is not correct. It seems he has constant values but the society is just really complicated.

[@VTSEA213]

I don’t understand how you can think your culture is better but not judge the other cultural practices in other places, can someone explain

[@richg4011]

I havent finished it yet, but I think the thought is pretty simple. One example could be. Women not being able to vote or drive for instance only really matters relative to how good or bad they are also treated in said society. If women couldnt vote or drive, but they lived in a country where poverty doesnt exist, domestic violence was A SUPER HARSHLY penalized crime so much so that it basically doesnt exist, they had reproductive rights, crime in general was very very low, they can still have credit cards, own land, get no fault divorced, etc.. Then going on an activist tirade about not being able to vote or drive might be not in your interest unless the women are protesting and showing it is within their interest I guess. Even if you feel they should have those rights, and could argue its benefit to the economy or society that isnt giving them those rights. Even if it wasnt that semi utopian scenario I just mentioned. What if the women simply dont care and dont want to vote or drive. They say yeah, per our X religion, we dont need to or want to vote, nor do we desire to drive. Are we going to do the condescending bigotry of low expectations 101, and be like "Oh you poor thing. You dont know why this isnt okay". The truth of the matter is that without arguing ethics and morals, most people do this naturally within and outside of their groups. If over there in Brooklyn they always say "thank you, king" after ordering a chopped cheese, but in Queens you say "thats whatsup" after ordering a chopped cheese, and you know this is the thing. You being from Queens, will say what they say in Brooklyn because you dont want to be disrespectful. When in rome as a saying exist for a reason, and there can be deadly consequences for not adhering to cultural differences and practices. Some things are also just more important than others. If a country has a custom of sacrificing kids to the sun god in 2024. I think we can make decent arguments to why we ought to stop this. Where if a country has anti abortion laws, and women cant drive due to something in their religious interpretations. Okay, thats not great, but not a major priority. Especially if theyre okay with it. I know everyone looks at this through the lens of liberal western societies, but there are people that are actually okay with illiberalism. Its not even illiberalism to them. Its just how they do things. Im sure a future human species 300 years from now would be grossed out how even the freest and most prosperous liberal country in the world was an ethical and moral nightmare in many ways too. Part of embracing liberalism is just having to bite the bullet on also letting some people just run their ish how they do to an extent (Even if you end up hypocritical in some cases. Being a hypocrite is natural and fine sometimes. Thats just life) , because the path the other way is authoritarian, illiberal, and likely more destructive.

[@Tomas-hs7ji]

@@richg4011 Going with some of your examples, lets say that in X country 99% of women are actually ok with not having the right to drive, vote or have an abortion. I don't think that we should necessarily say to these women that they should all want to drive and vote like women in the west. If it's not a thing in their culture fine, but that 1% of women who would want to do those things should have the option. I don't think that one should advocate for changing the customs and behaviors of the majority, rather just for the minority to have the right and the freedom to do things that deviate from the norm as long as it doesn't harm anyone. What I find bad isn't a cultural practice by itself, but rather the enforcement of said cultural norm by a government. For example, I don't think people in the middle east are evil for thinking women should cover up and be "modest", I understand that it is part of their culture. However, I am still fine with saying that I think women should have the right to not cover up. Even if most women would still cover up due to religion, culture or whatever reason a government shouldn’t force the minority to conform. I wouldn't say to a hijabi woman to take her hijab off because she is "oppressed" if she is fine with it, but I wouldn't hesitate to say that that the women who don't want to, should absolutely have the right to deviate from that norm and it is bad if they don't have the the freedom to choose. I still don't understand how one can think that women should be equal in the eye of the law, but say that it isn't bad when they aren't equal just because it is in another country. Just to reiterate my point, if most women in the hypothetical country I mentioned previously are fine with not voting or driving, I wouldn't tell these women that they should change their minds. Still though, I believe their legal system should afford them the option to not follow those norms. Please tell me if im getting my point across, as cringe as it sounds english is not my first language lmao so I'm probably babbling without realizing it.

It's maybe true to some degree, given some truly extreme beliefs, but I think that our values, at the end of the day map onto our experiences, which are physiologically and psychologically determinate. This is why I agree with Sam Harris, though he isn't making as narrow or specific of a case as people tend to think he is. It's not about this or that being "right" or "wrong" in a traditional moral sense. Rather, it's about whether some actions are more or less beneficial to human well-being over the span of our lives. It's not always going to be super clear, but you make the best choices you can, and you update your conception of well-being as you get more data, just like our conception of Health/Healthy.

I respect Destiny's argument but my counter to it would be to look at the world today and compare it to what it was before western geo-political dominance. Many many countries have become much more liberal in their values thanks to the wests political, cultural and military influence. Some societies still lag behind but if we continue doing what we have always done its fair to say this process will continue globally. I see this argument as moral isolationism, Destiny does well to critique Trumpist as well as far left isolationism when it comes to economics and military but not when it comes to this type or moral isolationism. Personally i think countries should be unique and practise their own traditions and make their own laws, to an extent. The answer is to strike a balance between global Liberalism and national identity, i think this is possible and that we should strive to push the rest of the world in this direction in whatever means is the most efficient. The means will differ from country to country but the west should not give up its historic place in the world as drivers of progress.

Destiny’s argument here is bizarre and incoherent.

[@hartyewh1]

Why not explain how instead of what's essentially "wrong!"?

[@xyugi0007]

@@hartyewh1 Because his entire argument is that he only cares ethically about things if they can impact him. If I think repression of women in my country is wrong, there is no reason why that should not extend to other women in a different geographical location. His relativist stance only makes sense if you are an anthropologist trying to study a different culture. In that context, you should try to understand the facts, psychology and motivations of the culture you are studying without having moral considerations interfere. But if someone is asking for your moral stance on something and that changes when applied to some people because "lol you guys are 100km away dont care" then you have no moral stance at all.

[@hartyewh1]

@@xyugi0007 His relativism is weaker than that. He'll take into account cultural differences on matters that are less important and thinks his morality is superior, but would not impose it on them since they need to fix their own issues.

[@xyugi0007]

​@@hartyewh1 Imposing your values is irrelevant. The guy is asking him about why some things are wrong for people in his country but not wrong for another one and his answer is that he is not part of that culture so it does not impact him so he does not care. If you think your government making it illegal for women to drive because they are women is evil, why would that be right for someone else? Conceding the fact that they are acting in an evil way does not necessarily mean that it is now your sole mission to fix another country, but you can still judge them for it. And also, you -could- do something about it. You can sign up to do gay rights activism in the middle east if you had the motivation and means to, and that would be a noble act.

[@hartyewh1]

@@xyugi0007 He's talked about this dozens if times and the point is that it's not his place to dictate to other cultures what to do and even more that it's practically pointless. He's happy to explain how he considers his personal morality to be superior if someone asks. There's also value in limiting your spheres to avoid the naive and neurotic trap a lot of young people fall into trying carry the weight of the world with no understanding or impact. Many are willing to hurt themselves as an excuse for not really helping others like the "pro-palestinian" demonstrators are effectively doing emotional self-flagellation and being beyond useless for the actual cause.

[@inteallsviktigt]

Destiny you’re likely arguing against moral subjectivism and not moral absolutist Morality In relativism, morality exists in relation to culture, traditions and society, while in subjectivism, morality is subjective and personal. Underlying Concept According to relativism, the way we perceive morality is shaped by culture and society while according to subjectivism, the way we perceive morality depends on our own mental judgment. Conclusion Both relativism and subjectivism claim that there is no universal truth or objective truth. Moreover, the difference between relativism and subjectivism is the nature of morality or truth. In relativism, morality or truth exists in relation to culture, traditions and society, while in subjectivism, morality or truth is subjective and personal.

A person living in another time / another culture; raised with specific values, are unable to know a specific thing can be wrong even if it seems deplorable to us today. You have to take into account the context of what morales they could have access to. This is why it’s hard to judge someone from the past.

[@gregapirc7020]

"A person living in another time / another culture; raised with specific values, are unable to know a specific thing can be wrong even if it seems deplorable to us today." if this were true then how does change ever come about?

[@popermen694]

@@gregapirc7020 Its gradual. Or someone from another culture comes in and changes it drastically. Or the circumstances change, like if a famine occurred or something big that forcers people to change their view of the world. But in a bubble, change happens gradually. It is like evolution. Each generation is constrained by the previous but change still occurs. Even though people can only know their own reality and have trouble seeing outside of that, including morality, they can do so a little bit. So over time things change. This is why people back in the day during certain time periods were racist. Its not because they were magically bad people it is because that's how they were raised and its all they know. Today this cant occur anymore, maybe in North Korea. Because with the internet one culture is no longer in a bubble, they can see any other culture and respond accordingly.

[@popermen694]

@@gregapirc7020 Just to add. You think that you are operating in a good morale place but you mighty not be, at least if you compare it to the future. In 500 years, eating animals could be considered just as deplorable as murder. It wouldn't be fair for that culture to judge you as a murderer because you were raised in a world where eating animals is fine. We all do it. So to you eating animals = murder might seem absurd. But to another culture in another time you seem absurd for not thinking that

[@justinebpheartss]

Not the best takes here from him. It's one thing to accept differences, whether by culture, nation or so on, but ultimately, the revoking of human rights (at least to myself, like voting, being treated as an equal, etc) is not something to be content with. Tolerance to the intolerant has led up to some not-so-great eras of history. Murder and punishment shouldn't be the only stipulations we set for advocating on a country's change, or setting at least soft measures as a country to influence change. Death can be done outside of this, and even just having your country treat you lesser, is enough for a mass of people to have higher rates of unaliving. It's not humane to just be passive to this, though that is my own book of morals speaking.
