Unless you have a transformation recently, your support of right-wing extreme politics says that you're a staunch conservative.
As far as freedom viz pandemics, governments, unfortunately/fortunately can help people help themselves. Especially when there is an abundance of prevailing ignorance. It's called public safety you numbnuts!
Sorry I'm busting your balls but you got to tighten up dude
This guy's got to go. His goal here is now clear and painfully obvious. His propaganda is dangerously motivated. I've seen enough to call it what it is...
You have it backwards: corporate profits are dependent on human beings and human good. This a given since human beings/human good have existed for hundreds of years before anyone invented the notion of corporations and corporations are dependent on the work of human beings (or at least the work of sentient beings) in order for them to exist. — dclements
This really is enough to highlight the inanity of the type of things NOS4A2 is saying. No doubt he will continue to say them anyway. — Baden
Especially with a pandemic, the actions of the citizenry make the difference. But you simply cannot avoid the fact that coordination is absolutely crucial. It's a team effort. Hence, you need a citizenry that will take the necessary precautions. Not eat garlic & vitamins and think that's the cure.I would argue that the citizenry can do better to suppress the spread of the virus than a government. — NOS4A2
get the sinking feeling that perhaps you’re scared of my arguments, and the subsequent realization that you have little to combat them with save for lies and appeals for censorship. — NOS4A2
think it's absolutely wrong to play politics, especially delusional politics, with a life and death situation like this. But it's obvious what he's doing, and it's fairly easy to counter if you have the stomach for dealing with him. You can also report his posts. If a consensus develops in the mod team that NOS4A2 is indeed a troll with an agenda, action will be taken. — Baden

I think the unpredictable effects would be due to the degree of chaos and the efforts of vigilante groups to survive. — Punshhh
Which is depending on government to deal with a pandemic, no?
And should Trump have banned all flights from Europe today, without consulting anyone in Europe?Surely it would have been better had the parade not occurred. The city should have stopped the parade.
So no leadership then. Well I agree it's better than the alternative, which we saw today.
I agree entirely, I was thinking about what could happen after the collapse. — Punshhh
I’m not sure why a government would hold a parade during a pandemic of such proportions. I can only wonder how it might have been had they not done so — NOS4A2
I would argue that the citizenry can do better to suppress the spread of the virus than a government. But given that entire generations since then have been raised in a cradle-to-the-grave environment, perhaps these days dependency on authority is stronger than self-reliance. — NOS4A2
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
