dude the zulu's never evolved beyond spears to make machine guns for themselves, that totally protected them from the british right? all the zulu's had to do was tell the most educated society in the world at the time that education was the key to civil discourse.

You're literally trying as hard as you can to straw man and break a point of view by being as ridiculous as possible, however to illustrate the concept of balancing power, The Russians obtaining nuclear weapons after the US developed nuclear weapons most likely prevented world war 3...

There is an attitude that you seem to think the gun is the ONLY means of protection, the gun is there for when the OTHER means of protection break down. It's not meant to be the only means of protection, it's the LAST LINE of protection. That statement is not mutually exclusive to what i've...

You're taking it to the most extreme you can think of, instead of thinking of it as something to have "just in case" but even in your attempt to redicule the concept you go against the grain of recorded history. You don't have any guarantee's that "law" or "rights" will be there forever or...

Seriously you got the main point of the concept backwards somehow, literally you missed the whole point. rethink it and try again. not everyone is born with equal physical ability.

McDonald?s High-Tech With Kitchen, Kiosks It?s a McDonald?s vision of the future: an automated fryer cooks and bags french fries while a vertical grill machine removes patties from the freezer and prepares them ? no burger flipper needed.

I seePenal Battalionsare alive and well Saudi Arabia sent 1239 death row inmates to fight with Al Qaeda in Syria with a full pardon and monthly salary

because to a Marxist little to no thought is given to accountability for your own actions and there is no free will, it's all exoterically/materialistically derived from your environment.

Who are the "rebels"? alot of them don't come from Syria, they are imported from chechyna, iraq, qatar, saudi arabia, libya, trained and armed by qatar/saudi/turkey/cia why wouldn't they be willing to gas innocent Syrians to get what they want? The "rebels"(invaders) aren't a homogeneous...

Nor does it to many scientists, most theories proposed throughout history have been discarded, like phlogistan or Lysenkoism, nobody purports that those theories are correct now even though they where very popular and cited at one time.

You know what else was cited by scientists/philosphers for a good thousand+ years as an absolute truism? god. just citing something doesn't make it true.

Karl Popper has argued that both the concept of Marx's historical method as well as its application are unfalsifiable, and thus it cannot be proven true or false:

New York Man Attacked, Left Brain Dead, By Man Shouting 'I Hate White People'

dumar is also implying that you can't control your own emotions.

There's no guaranteed universal reaction to every situation, the frontal lobe is capable of suppressing all the pre programmed animalistic lower brain functions. it only works like you describe if you literally have 0 mental discipline and are a purely emotional creature. that's one thing the...

You're missing the esoteric aspect of plato's cave though and focusing like a marxist would only on the exoteric interactions in the story.

alternate theory: It might have something to do with the prospect of life amounting to eating gruel and existing in an environment where are confronted with the prospect to "die by a machine anally raping you with a metal tentacle", he just didn't like the alternative environment, if his...

and you're the most humble

dealing with external threats is just a reality we have to deal with, it's not like I inherently like it. I think better education is the key to solving the vast majority of our problems including crime, the economy and even international relations. So no argument from me. I went sea fishing...

There is no such thing as a natural or un natural commodity or experience, it's all the same chemicals re arranged in different ways, the difference is purely an artificial arbitrary label and illusion in your brain.

That's exactly why anti missle defense weapons are so controversial, such as the SDI (starwars) and the missle shields we want to put into turkey and poland. alot of strategists point out it would disrupt the current balance-of-power achieved by mutually-assured-destruction and cause another...

The way I perceive it is VERY broad concept, like the number of incidents occurred on the scale of a nation. Like for instance, the fact that you won't be able to dictate the weapon that will be used against you, maybe it's a pair of hands, maybe it's a knife, maybe it's a gun. I don't see...

explain and don't be pedantic about it, of course I mean broadly, like it very broadly normalizes interaction, it wouldn't really matter if you're 6"4 or 5"1 anymore, 22 or 52, 110 lbs or 280 lbs as long as you are relativly healthy how does it not equalize the relative power between 2 parties...

In my opinion the "tons of people" are the hawks and warmongers in government whose ideas are being being propagated by main stream media and then it reverberates within the plebian population. The vast majority of which are so retarded about history and current events they probably couldn't...

Yes when a balance of power is maintained war is less likely, you may not like nuclear weapons but the Pandora's box has already been opened there is no going back. It's what prevented america and Russia from engaging in world war 3, would you rather have gone through world war 3? without the...

It's just something that will always be true, it always existed (and not just humans, but between all living organisms as well, that the strong tend to dominate the weak) and it will never go away, Which is why I wouldn't advocate disarming most people. However some people are literally brain...

If you haven't learned by now if my post is a mess gimme a few minutes to clean my shit up. --- It depends, should everyone have a gun? no Can responsible people have guns? yes. ---- Specifically with Iran I think the region is currently power imbalanced(between keeping similar groups of...

I would feel fine if Iran got a nuclear weapon, they aren't insane people, they are acting rationally. First off Iran was taken over when america orchestrated a coup of their leadership in 1953. When they got rid of that installed leader we've then sided against Iran at every opportunity...

That is what I would think if I was Iranian. I'm only one perspective, of ~7 billion. America is not some altruistic state where Americans are inherently better people than Iranians are. We are brutal people that have killed far more people than the Iranians have and invaded many more...

Like everything in life erronious it depends on your perspective, If I was Iran yes, getting a nuclear weapon is exactly what I would do. From their point of view America/israel/saudi arabia has a hard on for them and wants to exploit their resources and keep them dominated and the only...

commodification is nothing new, you can find examples of it in the first history books ever written, It's not the human beings that have changed it's the technology they built around them and the new social interactions that occur because of the changes that technology brings. there is no...

I got that part, but he said that it was wrong that a woman traded facebook likes for money. say it was 200 years ago, that same woman would have traded her vagina for food and it would have been a less "manufactured" experience and thus she would be less likely to kill herself. I think...

Is dumar advocating the barter system because money is too good of a fungible proxy?

Iraq War groups MIA on Syria

uh huh, it had nothing to do with trying to avoid this.

and rocks, piggy would have been safe if there where no rocks.

This is why it's important not to be a weak blubbering vagina and have power erronious, if you don't have force the strong (America) will bully the weak (Syria,Iraq,Afghanistan,Libya) Syria: Russia will stand by Assad over any US strikes, warns Putin Si vis pacem, para bellum If you...

hate and contempt for your fellow man is something democrats do. I'd rather empower my fellow man so he could help himself.

Nobody wins vs stubborn mules.
