  • Your argument is not substantive.

    Well if your rebuttal is simply determinism then I think you’ll find that nobody’s arguments can possibly contain any substance.

    Empathy is the path forward.

    Agreed.

    Othering outgroups is not

    Nobody has been othered. In fact using it in this way dilutes the word as its simply rhetoric intended to censor discussion behind a purity test.




  • Their complaints must be evaluated and addressed independently of their reaction

    I 100% agree.

    These people looting a market for resources after a long night of rioting

    But this doesn’t mean that revolutionary action demands we hold the delusional belief that this market was looted because the protestors were on the brink of starvation or had no access to clean water or medical supplies.

    They smashed that shop to bits because it was fun and an opportunity to rob some vapes.


  • Every last human is capable of the evils any given human comitted

    If you strip away everything that has made them an individual, yes you’re right. But I think that just highlights that your argument is a pointless distinction.

    If you swapped me out at birth with a Nazi general, there’s a good chance I’d be driven down the same life path.

    Likewise this means you have to accept that there are many people, due to their upbringing and the principles they’ve adopted in life, that wouldn’t destroy a corner shop for no reason. That wouldn’t assault a woman trying to protect her place of work.





  • It’s a classic problem with mass civil disobedience. All the elites have to do is simply wait for a selfish minority who’ll choose to use the opportunity to enrich themselves at the expense of their fellows. Then they can frame the entire movement as violent and base.

    Im not advocating against civil disobedience, but you need solidarity to avoid this.
