This guy punches left while modding “Pragmatic Leftist Theory” (!PLT@sh.itjust.works). In a surprise to no one, PJ posts there.

I wouldn’t usually look to Nazbol Jackson Hinkle on any topic.

On this topic I’d look to Gabriel Rockhill, who recently published his first book of three on the topic: Who Paid the Pipers of Western Marxism?. You can also find his work on the Critical Theory Workshop YouTube channel.

This is like basic trolly problem shit.

The trolley problem itself is shit.

I think the question is a very, to put it mildly, useless question. It’s a typical example of an analytic philosophical thought experiment, which is has basically nothing to do with real life. No one has ever been in a situation as it is described in the trolley problem.

That doesn’t mean that sometimes, unfortunately, we are in situations where we are where we experience a moral dilemma. Of course we’re often in a situation where we experience a form of moral dilemma. But moral dilemmas are always concrete, and you always experience them under specific conditions, in a specific context that is very complex. You have specific means to make the decision, and practically never are universal moral principles even helpful to make that decision.

As a matter of fact, moral principles are I would say empirically never really used to actually decide moral dilemmas. They are used after the fact to justify a decision, which is a typical form of moral communication.

If everyone knows—including you—that Russia isn’t socialist, why would you imply that it is?

Rimu doesn’t want authoritarians.

“Authoritarian” is the new “totalitarian” as “tankie” is the new “commie.” Horseshoe theory is horseshit.

I have now, and I see little of note. Why do you bring it up?

Edit to add: I wouldn’t bring up others’ modlogs if I were you, because they may then take a look at yours.

Has no one explained the Streisand effect to him?

I wouldn’t assume he believes what he says.

Every time 😂

What a devastating counter-argument.

The reason is obvious: @CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml chose to comment with their lemmy.ml account because most liberal instances are defederated from lemmygrad.ml.

tankies who worship their little red bibles.

Cool story bro.

Hard to say because they’re not always coherent. There’s a fair amount of vagueness and stream-of-consciousness. They never bring evidence though; they just spin narratives.

And an opt-in filter at that. A nothingburger.

They’re all teenagers from America

You have no idea what you’re talking about. Many of those admins are not from the US, and none are teenagers by any stretch. I’m older than Danny Glover was when he said he was too old for this shit.

How can a person be pro-Palestine and anti-Ukraine?!?!

We’ve explained how, with receipts, hundreds of times. Previously.

“Genocide denial” is a liberal “gotcha” 🤷 Maybe stop acting like a lib on an ostensibly anarchist instance.

“Genocide denial” isn’t a magic spell. Do you not deny the genocide of white South Africans?

I’m sorry you had to suffer our toxic defense of Palestinians and our protest of Israel’s genocide of them.

Also the !world@quokk.au community harbors imperial shills like @Hotznplotzn@lemmy.sdf.org, @Scotty@scribe.disroot.org., @Sepia@mander.xyz, and @tardigrade@scribe.disroot.org.
