Both. They’re the intellectual equivalent and ideological opposite of libertarians with equally internally inconsistent views.

I agree with him in general about AI but hot goddamn the man gives serious self-described philosopher/cult leader/grifter vibes out the wazoo.

What about mobile?

People really need to start killing ice members.

I didn’t say it was clever; this is Lucas and he is not in any way subtle. Convoluted at times but not subtle. So yeah the good guys destroying the bad guys and that being the end of it tracks pretty well. In fact unless it’s a Disney retcon the whole idea of balancing the force by equalizing light and dark force users was never taken seriously by the fandom since it makes no sense and disregards all non Jedi/sith force users. One of the few ideas from the sequels that was decent is that getting rid of both Jedi and sith, eliminating rigid doctrine and just letting force users use the force on their own is what brings balance, which I guess is the canon take? Anyway if the prophecy was about numbers of sith and Jedi Anakin fulfilled that prophecy right before Yoda died, assuming Yoda and Luke were the last living Jedi. But it all falls apart with Jedi in hiding. Basically none of it makes sense.

According to Lucas himself balancing the force was just getting rid of the dark Jedi and sith. Had nothing to do with numbers, just getting rid of the dark side.

No but they are all over your comments, it’s like you work for RT or something. You sure do repeat basically all their points ad nauseum.

Scratch a both sideser, find Russian agitprop. Every goddamn time.

It isn’t a matter of opinion though. Hateful ideologies promote anti-social behavior, in the actively harmful to social order context, not the I don’t like being around people context. They promote social discord which is objectively bad for social order and society at large. There are objective measures here. Not all viewpoints are equally valid, and the whole idea that they are is one of the less valid ones. You’re operating under some sort of legislation=ethics and morals framework that’s flawed in incredibly fundamental ways. Any ideology that violates the social contract cannot be protected by it.

And I disagree that anyone has the right to believe whatever they want. Nobody has the right to believe the earth is flat. Nobody has the right to believe in chemtrails, or any other objectively false thing. You’re entitled to an informed educated opinion, not to reject objective reality and replace it with your own.

Refusing to allow ideologies inherently harmful to society doesn’t have anything to do with what you just said. We’re having two different conversations. Also ideologies aren’t intrinsic characteristics and thus can’t have or be denied rights, so it’s weird to make that connotation unless you just don’t understand what I’m saying.

Weak shit. Pigs back down when protesters are armed.

Should have let Sherman finish the job.

You talk like a chat bot. Stop defending nazis. You’re not defending the rule of law or any of that, you’re just defending nazis. Don’t do that. Supremacist ideology is incompatible with society as they expressly intend to destroy that society. It is always correct and right morally and ethically to remove anti-social ideologies. Legality is irrelevant.

This argument does not apply to anti-social ideologies such as white supremacy that are incompatible with society.

Paradox of tolerance. It’s absolutely self defense at the society level.

Did Iran invade Israel and I missed it?

I know, but they’d literally have to cite a foreign country’s laws as the justification like scrotus did pulling from english common law to nix Dobbs.

There’s no provision in US law for suspension of elections. No matter what we hold elections. Now they’ll certainly be ratfucked to hell and back but any suspension of elections will be totally illegal.

Don’t conflate anti Jewish conspiracies with the state actions of Israel. That’s antisemitic of you.

Yes but also this country is stupid as fuck. I’m not particularly bright but I swear to god I’m fucking Einstein compared to the average mouth breather you encounter in the day to day. I legitimately can’t understand how some of my co-workers don’t manage to drown in the shower they’re that fucking stupid. And that’s like the average person, not even the really fucking dumb ones. Go talk to people at Walmart for an hour. Americans are stupid as fuck.
