Name one single ethical philosophy that can’t lead to negative outcomes.

Duh

Oh no. Please, stop.

The juiciest part of market socialism is that when all the employees get a direct share of the business’ profits, they are spontaneously incentivized to work efficiently and minimize waste.

It’s a win-win.

I mean, that seems about normal for beef ribs. One rib is a whole meal, the BBQ place near me calls them “Dino Ribs”. The sauce thing is crazy though.

“Every ethics course pans utilitarianism”

“I took ethics and they gave very serious consideration to utilitarianism”

“Am I out of touch? No, it’s the ethics professors who are wrong”

Do you hear yourself?

They have to forage their own food and build their own house tho

Hippo = horse

Potamus = river

4-5 days. Hard to tell.

I was 14, it was spring break, the rest of my large overbearing family went on a trip I didn’t want to go on, so I had the house to myself and didn’t want to waste a single minute.

Heavily fueled by energy drinks, and the auditory hallucinations really started kicking off after day 2. After a while you’re not even really tired, just craving a break, it’s easy to lose track of when exactly you did something and what day it is. Even still, the involuntary micro-naps started cutting in about halfway through day 4.

We didn’t vote, for this.

How did that work out for all the people who said no? Now Trump will help Bibi annex the West Bank. I’ve taken Ethics, utilitarianism was absolutely not panned.

We play the hand we’re dealt. Accelerated genocide + fascism is a worse outcome than performative resistance to genocide.

The frustrating factor is that people seem intent on focusing on DNC performance like they’re a sports team, like the consequences are purely intellectual. At the end of the day, the seat is filled, and the people feel the consequences much more than DNC leadership ever will.

Yes, the DNC needs to reevaluate their strategy. But leftists on the Internet debating that strategy does not contribute to that goal. The right has a unified front, so long as the left insists on splintering, they’ll always lose to the unified right.

There doesn’t need to be a solution/compromise. The world is not a fair place with the perfect answer just waiting to be discovered. If there’s a solution, it will require serious coordinated effort. Blue-no-matter-who is a strategy to buy time while that effort is coordinated. The left needs its Heritage Foundation, which by its very leftist nature is going to have to be funded and coordinated through a massive grassroots movement; we’re not doing to attract any corporate donors.

So the solution is hard work, and a willingness to hold one’s nose and support imperfect incremental improvement. Based on the evidence, we may be waiting quite a while.

The children are the people vehemently demanding the DNC unilaterally employ their chosen platform, under the pretense that it would instantly solve their problems, and then subsequently abstaining out of protest. The political landscape is more complicated than that.

I’ve said elsewhere, elections are won on popularity, not policy. If the DNC unilaterally shifts to a pro-worker platform, all their wealthy donors shift to attack ads against them. Adopting more popular policies can ironically lose them votes as those policies get misrepresented to voters by propagandists.

Add to that the habit of progressives to abstain when a platform isn’t perfectly catered to them, and you have an impossible situation where you’re trying to court multiple conflicting demographics while the financial support you once had has been turned against you.

You seem to have extrapolated quite a lot from such a brief comment. Is it possible you may have misstepped in some of your assumptions here?

I don’t think so? The only “zombies” I can think of are Lazarus and Jesus, and neither got married after their resurrection.

Children try to help with tasks they are incapable of doing as well, that does not mean we should alter our actions to cater to them.

How has this worked out so far?
