Good luck with that. Syben supports antifa.
rebbelToday at 1:40 AM

DonovanToday at 1:40 AM
Syben supports much more than that he wants to throw run of the mill conservatives and libertarians in jail for "crimes against the people"
SybenToday at 1:41 AM
I hate how he distracts poor people with lies and then hides those lies behind xenophobic rhetorics.
DonovanToday at 1:41 AM
Syben strongly believes in Marxist polylogism
SybenToday at 1:41 AM
Nope.

You very clearly do

I clearly do not.

You've demonstrated as much

it's just all from mockingbird propaganda

I clearly do not.
Now move on.

DonovanToday at 1:43 AM
Well let's see you think that people of the other side can't be rational or reasoned with so you support either 1 killing them or 2 throwing them in jail
Sounds an awful lot like polylogism to me
manbearpigToday at 1:45 AM
I hate how antifa creates non problems out of non existent issues and regularly performs acts of hypocrisy
SybenToday at 1:45 AM
Re-educating them.
The problem is not their logic, it's that they believe false things because they have been indoctrinated.
Either that or they just lie because it benefits them.
manbearpigToday at 1:45 AM
Re-educate like China and kill anyone with an education
SybenToday at 1:45 AM
And until they are re-educated, you keep them away from society.
manbearpigToday at 1:45 AM
Lmfao
DonovanToday at 1:46 AM
Ah yes "re education"
CeriseToday at 1:46 AM
@manbearpig That was the Khmer Rouges I believe.
manbearpigToday at 1:46 AM
China also adopted the interllecusl killing policy

Who are we reeducating exactly?

As well as Vietnam

Right now China is reeducating muslims.
marin e. delacroix ☥Today at 1:47 AM
Interesting. So would you say you're in favor of China's reeducation of the uyghurs? @Syben
SybenToday at 1:48 AM
Absolutely.
They re-educate extremists, we only imprison them and make them more extreme.
You find that many Muslim extremists that get arrested here, turn even more dangerous in prison.
CreativeRealmsToday at 1:48 AM
:thonk:
So if you reeducated right wingers they'd be more extreme and that's a good thing for you?
marin e. delacroix ☥Today at 1:49 AM
I'm going to disagree with you on the grounds that "reeducation" is a violation of human rights in my estimation.
an unjust violation*
DonovanToday at 1:50 AM
Syben doesn't care for human rights or the human death till and sacrifice needed to achieve his goals as long as he gets what he wants
SybenToday at 1:50 AM
Nope, re-education doesn't make people more extreme. Pointless imprisonment does.
Those people need to be rehabilitated so they aren't dangerous when they are let go.

Even if reeducation had the desired results of changing people's behaviors to be conducive to whatever the tended purpose may be, I'd still be against it on the grounds of being an unjust violation of human rights.

It's not banter if it's true and you've demonstrated as much as several people here can attest to

I think we should reeducate socialists because if it's a system they think others should live under than surely they wouldn't care if it happened to them.
SybenToday at 1:52 AM
So you'd rather let a terrorist walk on the street and kill a dozen people than to change his behaviour by deradicilising him?

applying social pressures to incentivize and disincentivize desire behaviors is a humane way to go about it.

SybenToday at 1:53 AM
Re-education IS applying social pressures to steer behaviour.
manbearpigToday at 1:54 AM

marin e. delacroix ☥Today at 1:54 AM
it's a coercive pressure, not social.
SybenToday at 1:54 AM
Banter goes to #general-chat-💬 manbearpig
Marin, so you are opposed to any form of rehabilitation in prison?
manbearpigToday at 1:54 AM
No it goes here, trying to evade are we syben
Can’t even argue without bitching out
marin e. delacroix ☥Today at 1:55 AM
Of prisoners that have commited crimes? No. I wouldn't be for "rehabilitation" of those I disagree with.
SybenToday at 1:55 AM
No, it doesn't go here. Don't make me call a mod because you want to have personal fights in here all the time.
manbearpigToday at 1:55 AM
I’ll have the nod read above where you specifically asked for sources
Get good, scrub
SybenToday at 1:56 AM
@marin e. delacroix ☥ And what if that disagreement is that they think blowing people up makes Allah happy and is a good way to form a caliphate?
@Jules Can you tell manbearpig to keep his eternal banter in #general-chat-💬 ? He is cluttering the chat.
manbearpigToday at 1:56 AM
@Jules can you ask syben to read sources if he asks for them and not run from the argument?
marin e. delacroix ☥Today at 1:57 AM
I still wouldn't be in favor of reeducation. It wouldn't be considered "rehabilitation" at that point, because the nature of what's being applied is not restorative.
manbearpigToday at 1:57 AM
He is cluttering the chat
DonovanToday at 1:57 AM
I remember when syben was kicked for making threats and calls of violence ah that was the day
CreativeRealmsToday at 1:57 AM
Days*
SybenToday at 1:58 AM
Well, let's agree to disagree then.
I see that rehabilitation reduces prison sentences, reduces crime and aids the population more.
To me that is more important.
@Probably Tim Can you tell Donovan to stop attacking me and fucking up this chat?

DonovanToday at 1:58 AM
You're one to talk boyo
You want me to be re educated and thrown in prison
Don't start
SybenToday at 1:59 AM
Yes, keep your shittalk in #general-chat-💬
Grown-ups are talking here.
marin e. delacroix ☥Today at 1:59 AM
I would agree that in an optimal scenario, rehabilitation of those with undesirable thoughts, opinions, and beliefs would reduce crime, and despite this I would still be against it, so agree to disagree.

But here's a counter question: would you be in favor of reeducation if it was your thoughts and opinions that were considered harmful to society?
DonovanToday at 1:59 AM
I'm sorry I don't want to go quietly to your re education camps and face jail for some ambiguous "crime against the people" @Syben
SybenToday at 2:00 AM
@marin e. delacroix ☥ But they aren't. That's the beauty of it.
marin e. delacroix ☥Today at 2:01 AM
@Syben I'm asking if they were, would you still be in favor of it.
CreativeRealmsToday at 2:01 AM
The only way to reeducate people is through debate not forcing them to believe in something they don't believe in. At that point they are just pretending to agree with you so they don't get additional punishment.
DichotomyToday at 2:01 AM
TF is going on here
SybenToday at 2:01 AM
Such a hypothetical cannot work.
One could even argue against imprisonment for theft with that reasoning.
"Would you like to be arrested for something you like to do?"
DonovanToday at 2:01 AM
Syben is arguing for re education camps for conservatives  @Dichotomy
marin e. delacroix ☥Today at 2:01 AM
How does the hypothetical not work? On what grounds are you rejecting the hypothetical?
DichotomyToday at 2:02 AM
What do you mean by "re-education?" How would that work in practice?
CreativeRealmsToday at 2:02 AM
@Dichotomy like what the Chinese are doing to muslims.
marin e. delacroix ☥Today at 2:02 AM
@Syben On what grounds are you rejecting the hypothetical?
DonovanToday at 2:02 AM
He did say he out right supports what theyre doing to the Ughyrs
SybenToday at 2:02 AM
On the ground that it's basically a slippery slope argument.
DonovanToday at 2:03 AM
I'm just glad you show your true colors as a tyrant syben
SybenToday at 2:03 AM
Banter belongs in #general-chat-💬
DichotomyToday at 2:03 AM
Can you please define what "re-education" would entail, @Syben?
marin e. delacroix ☥Today at 2:03 AM
It's not a slippery slope argument in the slightest. The question was if society found some of your thoughts undesirable or nonconducive to what they found desirable, would you be in favor of being placed in reeducation? @Syben
DonovanToday at 2:04 AM
He won't ever answer you  @marin e. delacroix ☥
marin e. delacroix ☥Today at 2:04 AM
The hypothetical is self contained.
There is no slippery slope.
SybenToday at 2:04 AM
But the people don't, so that's invalid. On the other hand we can prove that their ideas are counterproductive to the population.
marin e. delacroix ☥Today at 2:04 AM
@Syben that's a descriptive claim, I'm asking within the context of the hypothetical, would you be in favor of being placed in reeducation.
SybenToday at 2:05 AM
You have my answer above, you can read it again.
DonovanToday at 2:05 AM
He knows his idea is inhumane and unethical so he won't answer
marin e. delacroix ☥Today at 2:05 AM
That's a dodge and fails to address the hypothetical.
SybenToday at 2:05 AM
Asking it again isn't going to change my response.
I address it by explaining why it's a wrong hypothetical.
marin e. delacroix ☥Today at 2:05 AM
Under the criteria that society finds your thoughts and opinions undesirable, would you be in favor of submitting yourself to reeducation.
SybenToday at 2:06 AM
Same question, same answer.
DonovanToday at 2:06 AM
Why would he subject himself to his cruel tyrannical practice? @marin e. delacroix ☥
marin e. delacroix ☥Today at 2:06 AM
Your answer is "but the people don't", which doesn't address the hypothetical. If I pose you the hypothetical "if people lived on mars, should we do x", responding with "but people don't live on mars, so that's invalid" does not logically follow.
CreativeRealmsToday at 2:06 AM
Rules for thee and not for me.
marin e. delacroix ☥Today at 2:06 AM
It's side-stepping the hypothetical entirely.
SybenToday at 2:07 AM
Once again: Same question, same answer.
DonovanToday at 2:07 AM
We should move on from Syben
marin e. delacroix ☥Today at 2:07 AM
I didn't ask the same question, I explained the meta of the hypothetical.
Do you reject the meta? if so, on what grounds?
CreativeRealmsToday at 2:07 AM
Syben doesn't think he has to follow his own rules so hypotheticals don't matter as it's a double standard anyways.
DonovanToday at 2:07 AM
Exactly
marin e. delacroix ☥Today at 2:08 AM
It does seem like you do have a double standard to you don't want uncovered if I'm being frank @Syben
SybenToday at 2:08 AM
I think an hypothetical like "what if we live on mars" is pointless to use as an argument because we are indeed not living on mars and thus we cannot answer such a question if it has no basis in reality.

SybenToday at 2:09 AM
@Coulter I see you are online too, can you tell Donovan to cut out the personal attacks, jabs and general banter here.
DonovanToday at 2:09 AM
Personal attacks /=/ accurate depictions of your views
marin e. delacroix ☥Today at 2:10 AM
@Syben it depends on what the argument is. I'm testing for logical consistency, so given the criteria of what you prescribe to be the case and mapping it over to you, you are in favor of reeducating those with opinions that society deems harmful and not in favor of reeducating those with opinions that society deems harmful.

You are therefore logically inconsistent.
SybenToday at 2:10 AM
Once again: Same question, same answer.
If you don't like the answer, deal with it. It is really that simple.
