I interpret this as an emphasis on value alignment. In any cooperative context, if we want to advance our goals further, we should carefully consider each participant's needs and find ways to align these needs with the direction of our objective, thus making it a 'common' goal.

yes, they aren't equal, but they are still basic rights.


freedom is hard earned, neither generously provided, nor enforced. a universally dictated form of "freedom" is a degeneration.


Exactly, which is why the Finns are diligent in maintaining a good standard of living for their worst off. They work hard to hold their government accountable to the people.

Or did you have something else in mind? Such as taking credit for the sacrifices of generations past?


my perspective is on the opposite side of modern european social liberal standards.

individuals should only hold themselves accountable. the effort to establishing universal well-being assumes political enforcement and coercion. it's a process of ceding individual sovereignty to a political entity.


it's good to see uk leaving eu, any efforts in establishing universal ideas will almost likely result in failures if not disasters. and uk's classical liberalism tradition seems never compatible with eu's social democractic perspectives.


what is stopping them from doing trade after uk leaves eu? seems most comments around is expecting each side to loose their market on the other side.


seems the whole world is falling into a state capitalism shit hole.


and we've got enormous casualties during government military operations, and breeds hordes of militants who feast on blood and hatred.


"toxic social environment"

I like how you describe the social environment in schools. Going through current schooling system, will most likely result in a damaged personality. And it takes quite a lot of time and effort, to heal the damage, and to re-evaluate experience/knowledge that had been infused.


The shunning policy had done quite contrary consequences. The Lambdaconf campaign drew a lot of attention to the very person they want to no-platform, more and more people begin to search the identity Curtis Yarvin/Moldbug, even come to read his articles and try to interpret his ideologies, no matter whether they gonna protest or support.

P.S. the nazi party was a frequent practitioner of this shunning policy.


Please try to follow the conversation. I was addressing the claim that shunning certain beliefs would cause society to collapse, and I've clearly demonstrated that to be false. Not sure how what you've ranted about here ties into that.


In an individualist perspective, I agree with you, shunning won't cause society to collapse.

But when people advocating it to an aggressive level-extensively campaigning the rejection of a certain person at social scale, this is dangerous and smells like politics, and was exactly the way how hitler shunned the jews.


I think you're having difficulty distinguishing the concepts of "shunning" and "genocide."


Seems you are so inclined to acknowledge what nazi had done before the 'genocide', or you simply don't know what had really happened.


that should be 'declined' in my last comment, my apologies


You aren't going to enforce your judgement to everyone else, right?
