K now you run away, cool, I can’t find you but I get to keep all your stuff and your house. You die from exposure. Great plan.
My answer is that the sanctioned violence of the state provides a check on the violence of individuals. Now we all live in a relatively peaceful society.
Call the cops, yes. Defend myself if necessary inasmuch as the law allows, because I agreed to be bound by the law. If I live in a rural area and the cops are far away, using violence to defend myself may be the only option.
But whether it’s by me or the state, my violent neighbor will be stopped by a greater amount of violence.
Humanity aside, exterminating thousands of species of animals is just bad, not for any practical effect it has on humanity or “nature” but just because it, in itself, is morally bad.
Current standard property ideas require a robust central government to catalogue who owns what and enforce everyone’s rights. Is that permissible under libertarianism?
I have been watching magnet fishing and people love to toss stuff over bridges without a second thought on the environmental impact. Hiding evidence I can almost understand but not lawnmowers, car batteries, etc....
Around here landfill usage is completely focused on commercial users. Costs $250/ton. Least they can give you is a half-ton. So if I want to get rid of my old bike legally, that’s $125.
Ok, so if I say “man these Black criminals are ruining our city”, then it’s alright to backpedal when confronted and say “oh obviously I only meant specific Black people”?
Or, different example in the same sphere. Is it okay for a Black person to be racist against white people?
I ask because, in the first example, that’s basically your use of “caucasity” but with a different race. The second example is a classic one that proponents of the “punching down” philosophy use - people have told me they believe it’s actually impossible for black people to be racist against whites, because that’s “punching up”.
Ok so you want Biden to do what? Send in troops? It always comes back to this. The most Biden can do is stop sending arms to Israel, which he’s already done once and will likely do again. Other than that, it’s just trying to convince and pressure the leader of an entirely separate nation to do things he doesn’t want to do.
Listen to a genius, kids. (lemmy.world)
What if the great filter of humanity is to overcome it's own nature that made it the dominant species of the planet and what if that is the universal great filter that makes the cosmos silent

Why do people throw out old motors, bicycles, anything metal into rivers and lakes instead of a junk yard or the trash system?
