  • This question is so fundamentally wrong, but such a good example of what is wrong with most people.

    Most people don’t actually have an ethical system. They simply substitute tribal dynamics or what ‘feels’ right in the moment for ethics.

    Loyalty, and most virtues, aren’t about what you get from them. Thinking of them in those terms is itself an example of the lack of any ethical system.

    Loyalty, and most virtues, are about having a system of values that you think are right, and then living up to those values. Even when it is inconvenient. Especially when it is inconvenient.

    If a system of beliefs, like religion, is something you espouse to believe in then you live those ideals. Otherwise you’re just there to feel like you belong in a group.
















  • You don’t need to believe me, you just need to look up all the videos of IDF soldiers bragging. They’re not shy of their genocidal hatred.

    And people procreate during bad times. I really shouldn’t have to explain normal human behavior to someone claiming to have gone to a top ten university. This is just a sad indictment of your schools reputation.


  • Apparently you can’t use words to address the point someone made, due to a lack of reading comprehension.

    Let’s try again, do you recognize that the Palestinian population is not in fact increasing since the genocide started and that you shouldn’t use figures obtained before the action that everyone is complaining about started as justifications for why that action isn’t actually happening?

    If you don’t understand, please explain what it is about linear time you have a problem with.
