That's the same control every government has. In a fascist state, the way the business is handled is restricted so that they don't hurt the country. For example, google wouldn't be allowed to censor. Like it or not, the government currently has zero right to stop google from censoring people.

I hope that ideal keeps you warm as the Chinese take over. Like it or not, individualism is actually weaker than collectivism because of the ability to disagree. They are stronger because of the enforced conformity.

No, but it won't be the communists either. At this point I don't care who does, as long as they are pro-white.

Yup, it's the paradox of freedom. Freedom usually degrades into this sort of thing since people are free to act in their own best interest without limit. Now, when you're normal person, that's ok. But say, when you run a multinational corporation, or are a billionaire, acting in your own best interests usually means crushing the society that allowed you to be successful. It's a tough balance to maintain.

No, in a fascist state the government controls the corporations, not the other way around. We'd be lucky if we lived in a fascist state because the CEOs of all these companies hurting the country would have been shot for treason. We're living in a corporatocracy, which is when corporations control the government.

Nope, it was called "Palestine" all the way back when it was first created

From jewpedia

At the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire following World War I, the victorious European states divided many of its component regions into newly created states under League of Nations mandates according to deals that had been struck with other interested parties.[1] In the Middle East, Syria (including the Ottoman autonomous Christian Lebanon and the surrounding areas that became the Republic of Lebanon) came under French control, while Mesopotamia and Palestine were allotted to the British.

Though, I'm a big fan of a zero state solution. Nuke 'em all and let god sort it out.

Universal suffrage didn't exist until the 1900s; the country was just fine before that.

There are still a few shills here, like theblackprince, BasedMedicalDoctor, and dictator_bob. We need memes mimicing WWII propaganda posters about the need to keep an eye for forum shills.

As much as it chaps my ass, it's actually cheaper to pay them "reparations" and have them leave, than it is to keep them around.

The one's that "have their heads on straight" are about 1 in 10,000. Not even close to making a dent in the overall stat.

Except you didn't give examples of philosophy, you gave examples of imagination. The ability to dream and reason does not make one a philosopher. Asking why something happens, does not make one a philosopher. You're trying to claim basic reasoning, and curiosity, are somehow the sole purview of philosophy. It's not; science exists independent of philosophy.

I do understand what it is, you don't, which is why you think it's useful. Go jerk off the with your other philosophy morons about your opinions that don't matter, the men are talking.

If we were contacted by an Alien race, we would both have the same mathematics, physics, and even the same values for universal constants. We would have completely different morality and theology. You are the dense one, because you think your opinion is somehow universal across time and space. It takes a very small brain to believe that.

randomusers239874 -3 points ago +1 / -4

Because it's provable that there are no universal moral truths. If there were, then things like rape and pillaging wouldn't have occurred in ancient times. Your "universal moral truth" has only existed for about 100 years, meaning it is not universal, nor truth.

randomusers239874 -3 points ago +2 / -5

Hahahahaha no they didn't, what the fuck are you smoking? Perhaps in the 1600 and 1700 hundreds that may be true, but science has been done for the sake of science for a long long time. Modern science doesn't care about questions, it cares about truth.

Spez:

And regarding Steve Jobs, that's pretty arrogant of you to assert every person that had an imagination is a philosopher. I, as a person who has a background in science, can think of many more fantastic things than any philosopher. Philosophers don't know how things work, so they make shit sci-fi that only normies could like.

Christians raped and pillaged during the dark and middle ages; is Christian morality universal? Whether you like it or not, morality, ethics, and theology are not universal across time and space. There is no objective and universal morality, and thus there is no true morality. This is not an opinion, this is an observation that every single civilization had its own morality that was different than other cultures.

The region known as Palestine predates modern Israel, and was called Palestine in the Ottoman empire. You don't need to be an actual country to have lived in a region long enough for a people to be considered a distinct group. Also, fuck Israel, every other middle eastern shit hole, and fuck the boomers that support "our greatest ally" in particular.

Wrong; the universe follows rules much like a computer, and is exactly equivalent to math. In fact, math has been able to predict many phenomenon before they were even observed, such as the existence of the positron.

Regarding Godel, that's not what the incompleteness theorem says. Yes, within a system, there are statements that can be proven true or false if it is consistent. However, that does not mean that a complete description of a system is not possible. A system can be perfectly described if it is embedded in a higher order system, that hides its incompleteness/inconsistencies outside of the subsystem in question.

Oh sorry, the way that it was phrased made it seem like you meant they were independent. But yeah, agreed.

Yes and no. Their logistics are so good because of the engineering; they are not independent. For example, predicting the optimal place to store certain goods based on user behavior is a software engineering problem. Modern logistics is all done with software; the physical components aren't really relevant as space is pretty cheap overall.

I don't "believe" in science, and no, it is not true. The basis of science is mathematical logic, which is universal and objective. Philosophy and theology are based on opinion, not truth. Right now, every single intelligent species in the universe knows the same exact value of every physical constant that we do. It it is universal. However, none of them will share the same theological or philosophical opinions we have; they are not universal across time and space, and thus are not "true".

And for every opinion your philosopher gave, I could present a philosopher with a contradictory opinion. Philosophy is opinion, no matter how much you want to believe otherwise. And all opinions are irrelevant in the face of cold, objective logic, which is math, not philosophy. If philosophy students were smart, they be studying math, not philosophy.

randomusers239874 -1 points ago +1 / -2

They aren't objectively wrong. That's the point, your opinion is they are objectively wrong. And by the way, there are philosophies and philosophers that would disagree that there are objectively wrong. That's why philosophy is for blowhard idiots; they can't seem to wrap their head around that fact that they are talking about opinions, not objective truth.
