Rem is my least favorite Destiny character. thinking back to his arguments where he acts like he's a god because he's read philosophy books, but he's still not even good at constructing and understanding arguments. i think he helped destiny get into intro philosophy.. but like his arguments are soo frustrating and he has no idea what he's talking about unless it's a weird philosophy thing like hegelian pseudo apriori dickcheese

but does really know what he is talking about if it is pseudo hegelian presupposationalist penischessy stuff? he is an undergrad student and I havent seen a single conversation in which he makes a decently constructed philosophical argument. Id even go as far as saying destiny has reasonably better syllogistic structured thought than him. rem is even worse than marty. cant convey the simplest points, gets easily bullied by people like fucking trainwrecks about phil(??) and doesnt seem to go as far as the nuances.rem literally only uses about the same stereotypical sjw(not saying this an anti-sjw, but oh well) talking points with decently better phrasing using expressions like "moral grounding" and "metaethics"(yes, I know metaethics is about moral objectives. to end the rant, I havent seen people talk more past each other more than when they talk about moral realism.

@adam I don’t know a lot about Canadian Indians, other than there is a big difference between their cultures and US Indians, such as US Indians were plains Indians who lived nomadic lifestyle using horses, and Canadian Indians were not nomadic. However I do know quite a bit about American Indians and I am an Apache who was raised on an Apache Indian reservation. Some tribes in the US did have slaves. The thing he was talking about when he said that if someone was killed they would take that person prisoner and then they lived freely in their society is 100 percent wrong. If someone was killed they would form a war party and they would go to kill that person, now it’s true they wouldn’t attempt to kill uninvolved people, and they would stop once they accomplished their goal. Now if they came across someone and took them captive they would allow this person regardless of race ect, to have a chance to become a full member. Now he took these two different scenarios and blended them together, and neither of these had to do with slavery. The tribes that took slaves would go and attack other tribes and take them as slaves, and this is altogether another situation.

[@ItsJustMe0585]

Not the side I expected Destiny to take here, but to be honest, after living in the US and then moving to Alberta, and seeing how the First Nations function here vs the Native Americans in the US, it's night and day different. The Canadian Gov't continued to 'eff with the Natives in Canada to the point that their culture and traditions are virtually non-existent. Most of the problems aren't due to the lack of reparations, but that the tribal chiefs hoard all the money, so very little of it makes it to the individual tribe members. This tosses them into a life of poverty and that often leads to a lot of crime and abuse. There's now a stigma by non-native Canadians toward natives which leads to racism off the reservations, while the reservations are dump-heaps with a few tribal elders being quite wealthy. They have nowhere to go, really, and it's sad. But it's not like very many of these folks speak their own language, or try to preserve religious and cultural traditions or 'respect the land.' There are some that do, (and the Inuit tribes in the territories.. they're fine... not who I'm talking about). Because of that, I kinda agree with Destiny here, as cold as it sounds. You can live in society like the rest of folks, use normal government subsidies that go directly to YOU, no a group of people, and there'd be nothing holding you back from still retaining your culture and history if you chose to do so.

The Cherokee remain highly respected in American culture. They were one of the "Five Civilized Tribes," and they were tragically removed from their land during the Trail of Tears........ They also practiced slavery and were able to integrate into the American economy because they adapted their slave practices to fit European standards, e.g. enslaving Africans. The Cherokee Nation had its own slave revolt after the Trail of Tears and before the American Civil War.

[@ffejulator]

Ok so I'm just at the very beginning but Rem just doesn't know his history here. Native Americans weren't 'tainted' into discovering slavery, it was a common practice between tribes to take members of other tribes as slaves. Is their form of slavery comparable to the chattel slavery of Africans in the South? Of course not, not anywhere close. The customs were entirely different and it wasn't used for economic reasons in the same way the Confederate South used slavery, but it was slavery nonetheless and it was done of their own accord. Now maybe I should go ahead and finish the video...

Rem tone polices in this debate.

[@spacedoohicky]

I think there might be a broader point to bringing up the fact that meat eating is a part of indigenous culture. For instance many Native Americans hate white people, and have a large written history about oppression by the white man. The hate of whites is quite universal among natives. Some white guy coming along could say "Hey native guy, would you please stop eating meat?", and the response from the native will likely be "Fuck you. I have my culture, and since you took my land I'm not giving up my culture." Since veganism in the west is predominantly a white activity it's very unlikely that many natives will budge on the issue. Especially since it's not just "eating", but to natives meat is a sacrament. Imagine Rem, or Destiny going to a Cathedral, and saying "Eating the eucharist is bad, and you should feel bad for eating it." They would be laughed out of the Church. That's about the reaction they would get telling natives to stop eating meat, except they might also get their asses kicked. Also natives have their own de facto nation so there's a strong barrier there.

They've compared the Wet'suwet'en hereditary chief governance to monarchical rule which evokes images of absolute (often tyrannical) rulers. At the same time, they continually push the "all 20 elected band councils signed agreements and consented to the pipeline" argument, suggesting that we should value the band councils' "consent" more since they were democratically elected. First of all, the elected band councils were imposed on each nations' reserves by Canada's Indian Act and are based on a colonial form of representative democracy-not a nation's traditional form of governance. Plus, the band councils only have jurisdiction over their reserves which this pipeline does not cross over. In other words, they have no authority to "approve" the project since the jurisdiction of the pipeline lands falls to the traditional hereditary chiefs (and there's a Supreme Court of Canada case that reaffirms their authority here). I also say "approve" in quotations because the agreements the elected chiefs signed weren't actually asking for consent; they're called IBAs, "impact benefits agreements," basically saying "we're building this thing, sign here to get some benefits if you want." They weren't really in a position to say no. (Also, the agreements they signed had clauses in them to force the chiefs to put down any voice to pipeline opposition within their communities and to prevent them from pursuing legal recourse in the event that something goes wrong during its construction or lifespan, like a ruptured line or something that causes ecological damage. This is nothing new in Canada's Indigenous history, nations signing into unfavourable agreements with private companies backed by the government for some money here and there while also signing away their legal rights if things go sour down the line-so, take of that what you will.) If you look into the community meetings that were held with these elected band councils to discuss and vote on the pipeline construction, a lot of the actual people in these communities voted against the pipeline at these meetings. The elected chiefs took these votes into account yet actually ended up voting in favour of the pipeline. This is a complex issue because reserves in Canada (much like the US) are drastically underfunded. It's very difficult to discuss the economic hardships of reserves without bringing up the Indian Act and Canada's complicated history with its Indigenous peoples. But this idea that CGL and the media have been pushing, that "the 20 elected band councils support the pipeline," misses out on the nuance of these community meetings and voting processes which, had the elected chiefs fully taken their community members' views into account, would've actually ended up opposing the pipeline. Onto the hereditary chiefs: the traditional, Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs are not the same as the monarchical rulers the mainstream media evokes. In their traditional governance, decisions are made by consensus through extensive deliberation with their communities in events called baht’lats (or potlatches). These baht’lats are open to all members of the nation. Hereditary chiefs are there to represent their communities and do not make decisions they feel go against the nation's collective interest. If the community feels like their chiefs aren't representing them properly, they can revoke their chief status and choose another-this is a lot more democratic than this false idea going around of "genetically inherited rule." (By the way, potlatches were illegal in Canada until the mid-1950s, and even after the ban was revoked they were not supported by the government.)

[@autismgains2216]

"their identities are tied to the land they own" Most Natives I know would slap the shit out of Rem for saying some shit like this. In most traditional Native cultures there is no such thing as land ownership. Also tribal leadership is rampant with corruption.

[@antoniusgrave1348]

Collective human progress is way more important than tribal traditions. With that said, pipelines do not help the progress of humanity and tribal tradition is antiquated and useless. It's cool to remember these things and even still practice them, but just like religion, keep it on a personal level.

As an indigenous person, this was incredibly painful to listen to. Destiny, I strongly suggest avoiding these topics until you put in some effort to further educate yourself on indigenous history.

[@unholylemonpledge9730]

' as an' No one cares

[@L-MIRL]

Fr he’s such a dumbass. He is saying that meat being a huge aspect in some indigenous cultures is somehow a negative thing equal to slavery is incredibly brain-dead. Because it’s definitely not like many tribes absolutely depended on specific types of meat to survive for hundreds to thousands of years.

[@scarlet8078]

Arguing points like "vegans should starve before eating meat" is absurd. Veganism isn't a sustainable or financially viable path for most of the world. Objectively, the best approach to agriculture is hybrid farming, which benefits humans, animals & plants & ensures the greatest yields sustainably. My family has organic berry farms that are run this way, where workers' families live on a coop with animals including bees, chickens & cows that range/ graze freely. Th children learn to tend the animals, which fertilize & pollenate the crops, enrich the soil & increase crop yields. Milk, eggs & honey produced by the animals are sold in the farm store or in baked goods. Hybrid farming is the future, & allows for ethical & sustainable nutrition

[@jellewijckmans4836]

I hate the trope of the noble savage. To acknowledge a people as equally human to yourself you need to acknowledge their ability to just be assholes. They weren't a people in touch with nature any more then the Gaul were. They fought among each other for the exact same petty reasons all other tribes did and the entire use every part of the animal thing only happened in places where food was scarce enough that they had no other choice.

[@RealmRabbit]

I think I remember hearing about how the Aztecs were pretty chill towards their slaves... Depending how they ended up becoming slaves though I think... Like, if you became a slave because you ran into debt issues then I think I remember hearing about how it was pretty tame and you'd be able to be freed from slavery as soon as you worked off your debt... Of course, some slaves would be sacrificed, but I think those were usually people who were captured in battle and supposedly they'd be sacrificed pretty willingly... Another thing to consider with the Aztecs and their human sacrifice is that sacrificing a few people makes a lot of sense when you genuinely believe that the gods encased in the earth a giant monster that wants to destroy everything which it's your job to provide sacrifices to in order to appease it... Might not have been the correct thing to believe since the ending of the human sacrifices to Aztec gods hasn't really caused the destruction of humanity like they thought, but hindsight is 20/20... Also it's interesting watching this as a Canadian who knows where Rem is coming from due to how the topic is often talked about by many Canadians, but also I think I much more agree with Destiny...

[@YoutubePremiumMem]

Are you trying to justify ANY form of slavery? Let me guess, you are either a Christian or a communist.

[@RealmRabbit]

@@KZbinPremiumMem Not sure why you made that jump, but I'd consider both those guesses to be wrong... I consider myself an agnostic atheist (basically I wouldn't say God doesn't exist, but I'd tend to lean strongly towards that) and as for communism probably not. I think if everyone went along with how Marx viewed his idealistic Utopia then that'd probably work out pretty well (for the most part, like, he believed in the diminishing of government power over time as it'd become less and less necessary as the communist revolution naturally progressed), but instead human nature prevents Marx's ideals from working out. Unlike him, others wanted to see revolution in their lifetime and force it to happen (like the French communists who he criticized for wanting to rush out communist revolution, much like Lenin, Mao, etc. would later do in other countries). Human nature also causes people to seek leadership figures, who tend to be the ones leading the revolution and so when the revolution is over the proletariat find themselves with clear leaders, which I'm pretty sure Marx was also opposed to (believe he talked about this issue late in his life after The Communist Manifesto). And of course, human nature leads these revolutionaries to naturally not want to relinquish their power gradually, and contrarily many of them increase their power to go on to become leaders of authoritarian regimes. If everything went according to Marx's views then I think there's a chance it could be better than a capitalist system. That being said, no one has implemented communism in a manner accurate to Marx's vision and the reason for that is essentially the flaw of communism. Personally, I'd consider myself to be more in line with social democrats (not to be confused with democratic socialists, as social democrats are capitalists. It's just they're about as close to socialism as one can get while still being capitalist instead.)

[@karenbauer8968]

Is Rem always this dense?

[@Dinobot2]

Destiny: The ChapoTrapHouse guy's tweet of the image from Salo was bad because it could be seen as homophobic and he has a responsibility to not post that. I don't need to make the case WHY the tweet is homophobic, but some people could interpret it that way even if it was just meant as a jab against Buttigieg for reasons other than his orientation. Also Destiny: I don't care if my tweets about native people are seen as racist, because I didn't mean it that way and it was meant as an attack against this person for other reasons. I don't care how people feel about it. Tone policing for me, not for thee

[@Kyle_Schaff]

That’s because the Chapo tweet could *only* be interpreted as homophobic. You can skip this next long paragraph if you don’t need convincing of that. The only way you could not see the usage of this film as a homophobic attack against Buttigieg is if you’re unfamiliar with the source material. I understand the movie and the book it was heavily inspired by very well. While Pasolini introduces themes surrounding fascism as the backdrop in which the events of the film happen (the book has the protagonists being from different positions of high authority in late-1700s society-a duke, judge, banker, and priest-as opposed to fascist officials), the major themes of both works are on the exploration of sexual depravity-one of the things it challenges the consumer on is to judge what sexual acts are immoral and have us question why through provocative imagery. This is done from mundane sex all the way to the gay-scat-torture-murder-rape of children. The protagonists literally say that vaginal sex is undesirable. Sexual deviancy arguably *is* the focal issue of the works. I have NEVER seen _Salò_ or _120 Days of Sodom_ used against a straight person in my entire life and could never imagine how it could ever be used that way. If they were wanting to draw parallels between fascism and Buttigieg, they could have used literally any fascistic-themed work more aptly than this one. To deny that _Salò_ is primarily about sexual depravity and say “it’s just a critique of fascism” is to have never even read the synopsis. Now, for Destiny’s tweet, he was very clearly saying that you can’t use the fact that something’s a cultural tradition to justify doing an immoral behavior. Full stop. He never made a statement on all Native culture, or even any specific Native culture. He was using a provocative example of something we should all agree is immoral-slavery-and fitting it into the logical framework laid by the person who tweeted him originally in order to demonstrate the absurdity of their argument. You’ll have to tell me what part of his tweet was racist in some way. Also, Destiny said that he understands the tone police argument, but he was debating Rem that his tweet wasn’t incorrect. Chapo’s wasn’t about tone policing, it was just homophobic.

[@Dinobot2]

@@Kyle_Schaff "That’s because the Chapo tweet could only be interpreted as homophobic." Lol dude this is 100% wrong and you even disproved it yourself with the next paragraph. I know you think you were trying to prove yourself correct, but you instead made a case for why the Chapo dude himself said it wasn't homophobic. Regardless, Destiny's argument wasn't even that it was homophobic (since he himself wasn't familiar with the film or the themes either, and just saw a naked dude being tortured and uncharitably flung the accusation), but that it could be interpreted as such and that on a large platform it's irresponsible to do post that and not take into account people's interpretations and the effects of it. Hell, he even went on to say that he could see Steven Crowder or any other conservative homophobe making that tweet. Well, a lot of racist pro-colonialists and pro-genocide people make the same arguments Destiny made in the tweets and this conversation with Rem.
