I might not agree with the pro-choice people who admit they're asking for infanticide, but at least I can respect them.
Shermer and his "a fetus isn't a person" ilk are COWARDS!
I miss the 90's post-modern left. True, their jargon was frequently near-impenetrable, but were uniquely honest once you got past the obscurantism. (indeed, they only obscured BECAUSE they were honest, the modern left doesn't need to obscure because they lie)
"Rationalist" libtards might not like it, but this is what peak Enlightenment looks like.
If you would like to read one of the only honest, self-aware, and principled arguments for abortion instead of pro-choice nonsense, the source is Naomi Wolf's "Our Bodies, Our Souls" which is presently available here: lib.tcu.edu/staff/bellinge…

One thing Yarvin got right in his contested recent piece is that these policies are dumb even if you think the virus is serious. China didn't make people wear a cloth mask while leaving borders and highways open, they welded people shut in their houses.
What the west is doing is actually monumentally dumber: it's laughable compared to what you need for a *real* quarantine and overkill for anything that doesn't warrant one. There is no hypothetical disease where our current policy would make sense.
Imagine being a lib, thinking this is Ebola 2.0, and deciding that you only need to stand 6 feet apart and not impose martial law to ban interstate migration. The mind boggles.
Wait, are they actually going after Kant or is this just a joke? I want it to be true so badly; there'd be nothing funnier than the "muh 1776" crowd unwittingly repudiating the Enlightenment.
America as a whole isn't worth putting your life on the line for, but my understanding is that he had actual ties to the local community so it is 100% not-cringe that he defended it.
Like, this isn't a "back the blue" style boomercon cuck. He worked there; he had friends there. He was completely justified in his localized patriotism
He DOES admire the police from what I've read, which is unfortunate, but that doesn't appear to be the motivating factor in his actions; he was there to put out fires and arned himself on the (correct) hunch that he might be attacked for doing so by the rioters.
Oh dear, someone who isn't blocked tell him: 1. I'm Canadian 2. It *is* patriotic and why America is an illegitimate state. 3. The fact that he thinks otherwise shows that it's HIM who's the real (spiritual) American.
Had a very odd dream or maybe nightmare. (it was odd enough that I can't really tell which) The tl;dr is I discovered a standard bland-humor newspaper comic strip was actually drawn by one of the damned.
My dream started (so far as I can remember, it's dreams after all) with me rediscovering a small compilation book of comic strips from the nineties in a random storage box. What piqued my dream-self's interest was that...
...the book was printed on the ultra-thin paper pages you see used for bibles and other holy texts. The book itself was exactly as small as the first segment of a human thumb and you needed a magnifying glass to read it.
