@HatkeshiatorTND lmao I'm not a hobbesian at all. I dont like government and I tend to like people. I'm 5' 4.5" so fairly average for a woman

@brimshae @VD15 yeah I figured it was talking about factorio

@protos @tides you can't pay me to read Nietzsche.

@HatkeshiatorTND I read lord of the flies in school but I never read thomas hobbes. I'm fairly familiar with his attitude though. I dont like either of their conclusions about the nature of man, which I believe belong to a time later in kali yuga than this when people are even more reprobate (one could call it total depravity like a pr*t*st*nt). but even in such times rare souls will still appear to spread the dharma. I like the nordic system as far as governance goes (in absence of a truly God ordained theocracy), its one of my libshittier views. I just think that if a country is the happiest in the world, its doing something correctly.

@HatkeshiatorTND what's my perspective on nature? I have the shaktadvaitavada perspective that all nature is an expression of saguna brahman and the kashmir shaivite perspective that all of reality is consciousness/vibrating consciousness (energy). I dont have the mayavada perspective that reality is fake and gay, I consider it to be more like a dream, and dreams are real, just more transient.

@nautilus I dont oppose abortion because of fetal pain which is somewhat dubious youre right. I oppose it because of the death of what will become a person. the killing of an organism that is dependent on another organism at its first stage of life is still killing, and I'm against killing, even of most insects.

I agree with most of your last paragraph. women's oppression is deeply rooted in the burden of reproduction while men perpetuate patriarchy to ensure their control of both womens sexuality and even moreso that they will have male heirs. but I think abortion is no solution to this disparity, in fact abortion has disproportionately affected pre-birth girls in countries like india and china especially creating significant sex gaps. I think the solution is no longer having a society obsessed with porn and sex, and promoting sex education and contraception and other tools like plan B. this has no downsides I can think of. I dont consider feminism (even radical feminism) and being pro-life antithetical to eachother, for me they are both rooted in opposition to entrenched systems of violence that disproportionately affect the disenfranchised.

@kumicota @nautilus taking care of any kid is virtuous but adopting is very virtuous. I wish there werent such a stigma against it.

@tk @patchuun his story is so sad

@genmaicha they usually self-civilize upon exposure to what is deemed "civilization", like many poor immigrants to america

@genmaicha even if one were to assume good faith in racism like this, the fact that barbarians can be civilized disrupts the "genocide is the only solution, assimilation is impossible" rhetoric

@patchuun there are lots of brown whitenats so their logic isnt exactly consistent. and the way the same things that make white people superior genetically apparently make jews evil (pushing above their weight).

@nautilus I think adoption is vastly preferable to abortion because its less violent, but its still somewhat unethical because it often creates trauma and the adoption system isnt very good in a lot of places. again, the truly responsible should simply use redundant forms of contraception or just not have sex. people talk about how liberating abortion was to women's lives in allowing then to compete in the workplace with men and not be derailed for 20 years, I'm all for the equality of the sexes (I dont think "a woman's place is in the home", everyone should do what they are best individually suited to, that is the true svadharma) but I think "dont have sex, or use birth control" just isnt that hard. I have gone my entire life without sex or an orgasm. people are obsessed with sex though.

if racism is based on real concerns than why has it changed so much throughout history? why were irish, japanese, etc barbaric then but cultured aryan/honorary aryan now?

@nautilus harm to me means a doctor believes their life is at risk. I consider rape a valid exception because raped women are not responsible for being pregnant and carrying a baby conceived from rape to term is understandably psychologically violent. its all about responsible individuals having the responsibility to prevent violence to me. if you aren't a responsible individual who can take care of a baby you shouldnt be having straight sex.

@nautilus I'm anti-abortion except in cases of rape and harm to the mother. abortion is violence against the weak. eugenic abortion is particularly insidious.

@VD15 I'd play it

@tides then don't have sex. "I want the child eugenics will give me, not the child God will give me" is not a valid position imo

aborting babies for "eugenic" reasons is literally futile. its an attempt to cheat God, and God always wins. all youre doing is giving yourself worse karma (and thus are more likely to have difficult children in future lifetimes) by having an abortion.
