COVID and COVID vaccinations, ring a bell? Who pushed the vaccinations? Have you learned nothing? When one fails to learn from history, one is doomed to repeat it.

The problem is not equality.

The problem is that the globalists want kill off the 99%.

Why not stop wearing a belt if you hate belts instead of asking for a government decree that bans belts?

Are you fucking retarded?

Tyranny doesn't make you safer.

You didn't need to fear no knock raids in 1999, but now you do.

Culture coming from genetics is an absolutely insane take.

A black man who lives in the #USA won't have as much in common with a white man living in the #USA than he would with a black man in the #UK, or from #Africa.

@monarchist @freepatriot Thank you!

Death metal band? What could I possibly contribute to a death metal band? =)

As for Nietzsche, I think the beauty is to focus on your on life, and rather disregard the rest, unless it comes into conflict with how you want to live your life and express yourself.

That avoids beautifully the utilitarian fallacy of using people as happiness units and believing that ethics and happiness can be calculated across individuals.

@monarchist @freepatriot So you don't see culture as "lessons learned" on the systems/society level?

A case can certainly be made for groups posessing knowledge that no single individual does. For instance, no single individual knows everything that goes into producing a pencil. Only groups of people know that.

However!

This I suspect could be solved through definition of the words to encompass both views.

@monarchist @freepatriot Maybe you are a compatibilist? And yes, this is a "technical" philosophical question, since if I know where you stand on this, it is easier for me to understand your reasoning around free will, traits, genetics etc.

@monarchist @freepatriot Oh boy did you just step on a philosophical mine. ;) I agree that there is proof or evidence of an external world, but there is no more certain way to kick a philosophical hornets nest than to claim there is proof of the external world! ;)

@h4890 @freepatriot

Nietzsche upgraded the Christian view: "ressentiment" (some frog word) is where humans go wrong.

Do for yourself, not against others, or something like that.

Good points, as usual. We must get you into a Swedish death metal band.

As a nihilist, I both affirm relativism and what relativity affirms, which is the existence of a consistent external reality.

Americans say the collapse of the US will only touch other people.
