  • So in the moral system you’re proposing, it would be an offense to use those buildings without their owner’s permission. The fact that people denied access to those buildings will die as a result, though, is just a part of nature

    So, why would you expect a perspective which values property more than people to stir anyone’s moral feeling? If you don’t expect that, then why are you bothering to frame it in terms of right and wrong?





  • Hah, yeah that’s my goal too. I spent about a decade trying to get through to people in my life on a basis of common ground. Never saw a single bit of improvement, although that’s possibly influenced by an overwhelmingly reactionary local culture

    Eventually I started taking an antidepressant, and suddenly I couldn’t tolerate their shit anymore without a huge amount of effort. Now they don’t listen to what I shout any more than they used to listen to what I said, but they’re more careful to avoid getting my attention with their bigotry. Meanwhile, I’ve seen a couple of apparent ‘apoliticals’ who seemed to find something satisfying in righteous anger.

    They’ll probably quiet their minds and log back into /r/RickyMorty or whatever, but who knows, maybe someone’s interest will be piqued by hearing a regular person actually give a shit
