        You jumped from something as subjective as politics to something as objective as science.

        Like, come on. It’s funny!

            There’s no objectivity in politics. You’re a dangerous person when you think your choice of policy is objective.

            there’s a dozen political ideologies in my country and during our democratic election, people vote differently.

            If it was objective, then people would just do a simple calculation and all vote the same thing.

            Like I bought an e bike with my tax money. Good for some stuff like one less car on the road. Bad for other stuff. Now there’s fewer taxes available for education.

            It’s always subjective. You can state the goals objectively of your subjective policy, but it’s still subjective that you want that goal.

              Guess your opinions on communism and the evil virus of Satan capitalism, Chinese media policies and everything else in this thread are worthless then. Why should anyone here waste their time? It’s just your opinion, bro…

                Why would opinions be worthless?

                The combination of all our opinions, is the basis of democracy.

                We discuss our opinions, to come to a compromise.

                People here have been giving arguments pro of the great firewall of china. It definitely has good sides to it.

                But my opinion is of being a globalist. I think the arguments pro globalism outweigh the ones of isolationism.

                If I do it well enough, then I’ll change some people’s opinions.

                People think that people are morons. Coworkers think that coworkers are morons. People overestimate themselves and underestimate others.

                So it’s really important to listen and challenge others their opinions which differ from your own.

                  My Dutch university didn’t like our opinions when it came to their desire to fund genocide and oil extraction so they called the police to beat up students. No liberal government gives a single fuck about people’s opinions (look at their approval ratings).

                  By design, almost any national level legislature/executive elected into power rather than appointed on merit is going to be like this. They believe they got a “mandate from the people” (not much different from the mandate of heaven or divine right of kings) and so anything they do is legitimate and democratic.

                  You did not discuss shit and come to a consensus. The corporare media told you which parties where good or bad, then a slim majority of those who pay attention choose which party in parliament would have the honor of deceiving and exploiting the lower classes.

                    Then why aren’t you a liberal. You’re european. You’re in the same environment. Your own existence is a contradiction to your belief.

                    I’m a social democrat. my dad likes trump type of people. My brother likes economic liberals for lower taxes. (His gross income is 5000 euros a month, kinda a workaholic, really wants to pay fewer taxes).

                    So one house. 4 different ideologies. (My wife doesn’t care, as long as it’s liberal, she thinks Indonesia is doomed because of the military clinging onto political power).

                    You say they exploit the lower classes. But in Belgium social mobility is extremely high.

                  Oh, this gloriously cartoonish.

                  Hilarious.

                  People think that people are morons. Coworkers think that coworkers are morons. People overestimate themselves and underestimate others.

                  Thanks for the confession, I couldn’t tell you do.

                  So it’s really important to listen and challenge others their opinions which differ from your own.

                  Still waiting for libshits to start challenging faschists. Any moment now…

                  But my opinion is of being a globalist. I think the arguments pro globalism outweigh the ones of isolationism.

                  It’s just, like, your opinion, bro.
