  1.  @Commielover69  It isn't reflected in the average socialist's commenter's response.

  8.  @tedarcher9120  Well this isn't correct, a Soviet census in 1926 estimated that around 37% of the Northern Causus Krai was Ukrainian, and around 800,000 Ukrainians lived in Kazakhstan, or just over a fifth of the whole population.

  9.  @eattherich1793  Nope, my statement was a conclusion from a premise.

  10.  @mcdonaldsorwhatevers  Well, the point is that Mentis has no reason to deny a genocide in Gaza.

  12. @Zelle The real big brain move is to incorrectly spell insults in place of arguments

  13. The reason why is that there were many Ukrainian immigrants in those regions.

  14.  @SefirothPH  As I libertarian I assure you I do not wish to engage in some Hegelian nonsense of fusing the syndicate and State.

  15. True, however intent isn't the only form of mens rea, there can be recklessness or negligence too. Let's just say it wasn't accidental.

  16. 1) Don't smoke if you do not want to be affected by this 2) Enviromental pollution is only bad insofar as it interferes with other's property rights 3) Information cannot be owned, so tech firms have committed no crime here

  17. There were many Ukrainian immigrants in Kazakhstan

  18. Maybe because there were many Ukrainians living in Kazakhstan and Russia. Doesn't mean the holodomor never happened.

  19.  @eattherich1793  Libertarianism is correct, thus libertarian nonsense is a contradiction in terms.

  20.  @alexeistrife56  I am trying to say that the reason why MentisWave used memes was to try to keep the attention of the many socialists who like to consume short-form content. Despite the length of BadEmpanda's video, this is not reflected in the average Socialist commentator who usually makes an insult based on our ethics and then criticises using Anne Applebaum without providing a good reason.

  21.  @yoavlinzen5669  Well, we should expect that such a genetic difference would be reflected by the dissimilar vicissitudes.

  22. I will have to watch more to see, however my first impressions is that there were many Ukrainians in Kazakhstan. True Russians were affected, however if a Hutu was accidently killed during the Rwandan Genocide, does that mean it was not directed at the Tutsis? Further, saying Stalin is Georgian is like saying Tony Blair is Scottish.

  23. “The law perverted! The law — and, in its wake, all the collective forces of the nation — the law, I say, not only diverted from its proper direction, but made to pursue one entirely contrary! The law become the tool of every kind of avarice, instead of being its check! The law guilty of that very iniquity which it was its mission to punish! Truly, this is a serious fact, if it exists, and one to which I feel bound to call the attention of my fellow citizens.” ― Frédéric Bastiat

  29. Maybe he would if you could prove it instead of having a clear visceral reaction to someone pointing out how silly of an argument your favourite prophet of socialism made (which you attempt to imply that he isn't!)

  30.  @jukeman9291  If they are arbitrary, it is just as good as saying "these limits are wrong" without any evidence. True, but it has yet to be shown that I am simply waiting. As far as I am concerned, I have not observed someone completely disregarding the consequences of their actions just by virtue of them having a certain number of alcohol in their blood.

  31. ​ @jukeman9291  The alternative here is to punish people who are not disregarding the consequences of their actions. So if what I would do means throwing the baby out with the bath water, then so be it. As long as you are using "see" in its broadest sense, to mean "observe". If the only evidence I have about a driver that he was acting recklessly was his BAC reading, then I do not have enough evidence to say beyond a reasonable doubt to say he is guilty of reckless conduct. Just as I still have a reasonable doubt, even if there was a certain amount of evidence that there was a motive, of whether JFK was assassinated by the Feds. I have seen plenty of drunk people. I have also seen people drink and not get anywhere near losing their rational faculties. Whether they would pass a breathalyser, despite obviously still being in control of themselves, is another question.

  32.  @jukeman9291  What is today common sense was once what you call abstract make believe reasoning. It was common sense in the Soviet Union that business owners should be robbed. There is no reason to assume that just because a great many people believe something that there is anything to it.

  33.  @jukeman9291  But there can be no ideas besides those which initially come from reality via your senses, so I don't see the distinction.

  34.  @jukeman9291  All of these things can be traced back to sense-perception

  35.  @jukeman9291  Presumably, for emotions, because all living men have values which can be achieved or lost and emotions are mutatis mutandis automatic reactions to the achievement or loss of values, or for the "intuition" front, maybe it is a fact about nature so obvious that few people can deny it

  36.  @jukeman9291  Well, clearly not if there is such radical differences in the way in which people value, like ascetics to hedonists, to those who prefer romantic art to modern art. It is either humans have to come into contact with these things an evaluate which ones they will prefer or they are completely predestined to do so.

  42. Being part of the cathedral does not necessarily make one wrong, I thought this would be implied by the observation that the cathedral will always exist.

  43. There is no line where only the government ought be able to use a weapon. Anyone is allowed to act nonaggressively and no-one is allowed to act aggressively. For example, using nukes as most governments do as part of a MAD doctrine is aggressive and ought not be done. On the other hand, if Elon Musk were to rent some territory in the middle of the Australian outback and test the viability of nuclear pulse propulsion for rockets, then this would not be aggressive. Or for tanks, using it to destroy enemy tanks if you are waging a war of aggression is unlawful. However, Eddie Hall's use of his tank to get from his house to McDonalds is not aggressive.

  46.  @heinrichb  Not saying every person in the north Caucuses were ukrainian, just a very sizable minority. I can't imagine Stalin's opinion of the Kazakhs were much better either.

  47.  @makhnothecossack4948  I've actually changed my position since initially writing the comment, and there are many things which are called arbitrary social constructs are in fact objective necessities for humans, such as language and laws
