  • Weird example but ok.

    And no, it is not only historical. I stated that in my original comment and I invite you to look at left wing politics but some “left wing” politician’s position on some random issue, but a widely supported position by the left wing community. You will see that they are all in opposition of hierarchy.

    But let’s take your weirdly racist example, where is the hierarchy?

    I think the problem is the conversation is the following:

    The child appealed to their own expectations which probably can be reasonably linked to social tradition/expectations. While the child might be unaware of that, the woman certainly understands that.

    The child commits a fallacy. That fallacy might not appeal to nature but fundamentally works the same. It is pointing to an “Is” statement to infer an “ought” statement.

    The storyteller counters with an argument. That argument is also using an “is” statement to infer an “ought” statement. Whether or not, the intention is to show the flaw in the child’s reasoning; or to argue that hair is good there, can’t be known, as it is a casual retelling of a casual conversation.

    The dino makes an another argument. That highlights the problem with using “is” to infer “ought”. Pointing at the flaw in the storyteller’s argument. The big problem, Dino failed to consider that she might was doing the same thing in a way that a child understands it. That she might doesn’t think it was a good argument at all but a tool to point the child at the issue. So the storyteller’s real argument might was the same as dino’s.

    Consequently, I think you are right to say that the storyteller is required to said that her argument is trying to say hair should be there, to be at fault. But i think it would also be wrong to think dino tried to argue the hair shouldn’t be there, for the same reason. So basically people in the internet talking too casually to probably understand their positions and consequently you can’t have a meaningful conversation about it.

    Well, the bodyshaming is not limited to “morbidly obese” people. https://slrpnk.net/post/35736444

    But if you deal with a fascist and your insults of choice is about their appearance… wtf are you doing? There is not better insults for fascists? “Hahaha fat” is the choice? And “fat” jokes hit all “fat” people, not only the “morbidly obese”. Body dysmorphia is real. People with eating disorders tend to think that they are fat.

    Also I haven’t seen a lot of mocking of smokers but the number of smokers is going down… lack of mockery is no issue. People just want to be allowed to be cruel.

    And where is the mockery for joining ice? Or do we want them to get fit, instead of stop being part of ice?

    In my mind, I acknowledge that i only ever wanted to have sex with women. But i would be an idiot to make being straight part of my identity because if I would ever meet a man that I could and would love, I would just have made it more difficult for me to accept that and there is zero gain in identifying as straight. I don’t think we need to identify our sexuality, we just need to be willing to accept ourselves and go with the flow.

    Saying “I am 100% straight!” Seems to be a good way to have an identity crisis when you find someone attractive that doesn’t make you feel straight enough to accept it.

    You aren’t listening. The labour needs to be done. Who cares about money? When you are 80 yrs old, who will be your doctor? Who will work the fields for your food? Who will provide you any services? Any products? Anything?

    You will need young people and they don’t come from nowhere.

    Billionaires are the problem and we need children for e.g. pensions.

    The labour needs to be done.

    People without children aren’t the problem, or the enemy. But they can’t expect the same treatment as people with children. As people with children provide more to society.

    I feel like people don’t think half a step ahead.

    The children that these parents are taking care of, will probably grow up and work. Their work will allow our retirement. People without children just don’t provide the same utility to the society.

    We need “young people” and if we are unwilling to invest in that, we won’t have them. And then we all moan about lack of social safe nets and pension safety.
