I think you should atill be considered human as long as you have human consciousness. If your consciousness gets altered and you lose you identity, then you are something else now. -

You forgot about their own people -

You are criticizing Kamala You are criticizing Ukraine You are criticizing NATO You are against Israel You are justifying Russia's actions You now felt the need to argue about how China's economy is superior. Don't you think there is a silver lining there? It seems to me like you have a pretty clear anti-western bias. Are you opinions on all those things the way they are because they are actually true or are you just trying to align the facts with you already existing beliefs and focus your attention only on things that reinforce them? -

I don't really care about that. I am more curious about how it actually is. -

Why? Who decided that psychology is not a deciding factor but body is? Also, in this example, what about women who were born in a female body, but cannot have kids? Are they not real women? -

I see. But that's more of a practical point of view. What's a metaphysical significance of noticing differences between different beings / phenomena? How real are they and why do those differences exist if everything is God in the end? Do they actually exist? That's what I don't really get. -

I see, thanks. How it relates to what you were talking about in the gender video though? The whole identity being completely made up. Not just man/woman, but also being human. You've mentioned that there is no such thing as a human in real reality it's just a label that we put on what we see. If there are clear patterns to how something is, than that means that the category is not completely made up? I understand that you can talk from different perspectives, but still. -

Why? Where do you draw a line? -
Something Funny replied to Merkabah Star's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
I am not talking about the gdp thing. I am talking about your bias against left in general. If you criticize literally everything that somebody is doing, on every topic, it's very obious that you are not looking at things objectively. -

@Bobby_2021 do you not see how you have a clear anti-west/american/democrat bias? Literally, on every topic I saw you post, you took anti american side. Don't you think it is a sign of how unobjective and far from truth it is? Are you not concerned about that? -

But Israel is alone in the sea of enemy nations. What makes you think that it could survive if they were technologically equal or that they wouldn't want to destroy it? Are you just trusting that America will be able to protect it forever? -
Something Funny replied to Raze's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Okay, so by that logic, as soon as middle eastern countries become developed enough, they will stop getting bullied and will become bullies themselves, eradicating Israel. So the main condition for Israels's survival is to keep all the countries in the middle east intentionally underdeveloped, which I don't think is possible. Which would mean that Israel is going to be destroyed sooner or later. I guess their strategy of oppression is self-defeating, if you look at it like that. -

I don't believe that a group punishment of mass extermination is a proportionate response to terrorism. One side's terrorists are another sides freedom fighters. If Russia completely took over Ukraine tomorrow and the only option Ukrainians had left was partisan warfare/terrorism/sabotage. Would you also be advocating for putting all Ukrainians into concentration camps and/or bombing the hell out of them? And it is only self defeating if you are weak. If you are a powerful country like the US, or Russia, or China, you can kill and oppress millions of people and face almost no serious reprecussions. -

Bht what if this relatively higher development is a result of the lower developed side being actively bullied and prevented from ever having an opportunity to develop itself? But even you admit that there is no solution for this war. Israel is just going to keep bombing palestine until its unlivable and all palestinians are dead / gone. End result for palestinians is actually worse than it would be for Israelis if the sides were reversed. Because at least Israelis would have a whole bunch of first world countries where they could escape to. Palestinians are not even accepted as refugees to shitty middle eastern dictatorships. So the only choice they have is to literally sit there and go extinct, abandoned by the whole world. -

If you look at this objectively and not from the western point of view, why should we be favouring Israel's people existance over Palestinians existance? Because Israel also wants to eliminate them just as much. -
Something Funny replied to Raze's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Israel would never do that. Israel views palestinians like less than humans. Even aside from current bombings, they were actively opressing palestinian people in their daily lives. And you want them to suddenly develop a desire for helping Palestinians develop. -

Did Ukraine join NATO? Would it really get accepted into NATO anytime soon? If yes, then when, in 50 years? Russia's initial occupation of Crimea and East of Ukraine had nothing to do with Ukraine joining Nato. Ukraine had no real government for like 2 months and Russia used that opportunity to grab some territories. You have some twisted view of the world and poor understanding of the Tolkien universe if you think this way. -

@Hatfort what you said is that Ukraine doesn't have a right to fight for its own territories, doesn't have a right to have an army, and needs to walk on needles all the time because any bit of help from the west they get might anger the great Putin. The fact that you are victim blaming so much and trying to justify Russia's actions is absolutely disgusting. You must have been cheering for Sauron when watching LOTR. -
Something Funny replied to BlueOak's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
So, let me get this right, you are saying that Russia decided to invade Ukraine because USA was arming a 2000 men strong batallion? Is that correct? Belarus is not just dependent on Russia like every other country is the world is dependent on someone. Belarus is literally a dictatorship where you will go to jail if you sneeze wrong. Belarus is not dependent on Russia, Belarus is lkterally Russia's puppet, with Lukashenko being Putin's buddy. Do you realise that people of Belarus literally have no right to elect anyone else and can't even overthrow Lukashenko because then Russia would invade them just like it did Ukraine. Do you have any idea what it's like to live in a country like that? I am not sure what your agenda is here, but I am honestly tired of you and your disingenious arguments. -

Oh, so what he said isn't even true, okay. -
Something Funny replied to BlueOak's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
It wasn't overthrown. They escaped on their own, after doing an awful job at handling the protests. I don't have much knowledge on Iraq, so I can't comment on this. My point is that NATO would never attack Russia first, and it is still a valid point. -
Something Funny replied to BlueOak's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Thjs civil war would have never happened without Russia's people there, actively fueling it? And what the fuck was Ukraine supposed to do? Just let go? What if Texas decided to become independent tomorrow (even without external influence), what do you think the US would do? Framing it as some kind of minority oppression is pathetic and is not true at all. If you think that Russia cares about those people than you are super naive. Russian government doesn't even care about its own citizens. But I think that at this point you are just being intentionally dishonest, tbh. Oh wait, so nobody is afraid of Russia nuking the world to shit afterall, right? So we now agree that it's just a dumb excuse? Sure, it's muxh better to be in a situation Ukraine is right now. Finland and Sweden must just be stupid and were deceived into joining NATO. -

@BlueOak i see, that makes sense. -
Something Funny replied to BlueOak's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
This is such an utter bullshit. Nobody was at war with "Russian speaking population". Dnipro, Kharkiv, Kherson, and even Kyiv at that time were mostly Russian speaking. Ukraine was fighting a hybrid war against Russia for territories that rightfully belong to it. I will never believe that people of Donbass and Lugansk would go to war on their own. Those were some of the most prosperous and well developed regions of Ukraine that weren't mistreated in any way. Sure. The results of that referendum were as true as results of Russia's domestic elections, lol. Right, after they killed of all resistance, they've put their own people in power and sigbed aan agreement with them. I guess you could say that both "sides" accepted the terms, lol. Once again, this is a totally dihinest way to put it. I was still at school in Ukraine at this time, living in a bordering region. And we had RUSSIAN LANGUAGE lessons. Most people spoke Russian and nobody was being oppressed. ... Also, if NATO is such a threat to Russia, and is truly the reason for this war, then how come Finland was allowed to become a NATO member with no issues and no retaliation whatsoever, despite its border being 400km from St. Petersburg? Hypocrite much? That's totally fine and no issue at all, right? While Ukraine shluld not be allowed to make any independent decisions whatsoever. Wests behaviour during this war clearly showed that they don't want an escalation and conflict with Russia. NATO is a defensive alliance and would never attack Russia on its own. And Russia nows that. So all this bullshit about war being caused because Ukraine wanted to potentially join NATO or EU in 20 something years, is just that - bullshit.
