Maybe this person is a statistical outlier, but the point is about the model experience and how it explains people's attitudes toward polyamory, not that such views are based on strong evidence.

The trouble with trying to do things the *legal* way is that other people know the law, too. Which is why it's important to have judges who DGAF.

Eh, they'll just learn to categorize everything they don't like as 'propaganda.' I'm currently developing a critical thinking course that focuses on applied epistemology and cognitive biases, as there's evidence this interior-focused approach works better.

Eh, not sure. Lots of pro-Israel orgs would have thrown everything in their arsenal at a Harris admin trying to reign in Bibi. Maybe not enough to help Israel do as much as they want to do in Gaza, but enough to torch Harris's public support.

Refusing to do more to prevent Israel from committing war crimes is just as bad as encouraging and signing on to make money from said war crimes.

Silly as this is, there is a version of it that would actually reveal something about the person answering: Would you publicly praise Trump if it meant he’d exempt you from the bad policy he’s inflicting on everyone else? That’s an actual measure of principle. And it’s one too many are failing.

Yes, that's why I mentioned how hollow it is. Much as Christianity domesticated the radical elements of the early Jesus movement, fascism attempts to domesticate those in anti-Christian figures such as Nietzsche.

The truth of this fact is why I hate seeing stolen valor from leftist posters on here.

This is also what makes their invocations of Nietzsche as a fellow traveler so hollow, as the man emphasized taking risks to pursue joy, said that it was better to be deceived now and again than to constantly be on guard against deception.

That term refers to a relation to capital that they don't really have, but I take to your point. In fact, it's the way their behavior scrambles certain types of Marxist analysis that causes more problems for the iconoclastic left.

Another self-defeating aspect of this type of messaging is that it means Republicans just need to make beef more expensive - or focus on it being so - when out of power. Because Dems don't articulate other values of liberal democracy.
