Right Wing Discussion Thread XI: It's Okay To Be Right

[Northern Davincia]

Ryan did imprison Sofia Lamb.

God, creating us as rational beings, is probably keen on us employing said rationality to impose justice.

Breaks his own moral code when he deems it necessary? Sounds pretty morally subjective to me.

When you own an entire city, odds are you get to arrange the rules however you see fit, especially against those who break the rules.

[Heimatia]

That's not considered evil.

I don't agree. All judgement and punishment, when not from God, is evil.

...but you view a functioning judiciary as a necessary evil?
I'm just checking cause I'm curious.

Yes.

Yes.

Why is it evil if it's necessary? That makes little sense.

[United Muscovite Nations]

Yes.

Why is it evil if it's necessary? That makes little sense.

Because it's passing judgement on another person.

[Salus Maior]

Yes.

Why is it evil if it's necessary? That makes little sense.

"Necessary evil" is a term that exists.

[Old Tyrannia]

So I wonder who among us would make the best dictator? No kleptocrats need to apply only the people willing to do whatever it takes for their nation needed.

We had a poll on this, I won. You can never take that away from me!

[Bienenhalde]

I could live under Parkus - He's close enough to my own beliefs.

I quite respect Parkus. He seems very upright and well-intentioned. But if he were an absolute dictator, I fear he would outlaw almost everything fun.

[Luminesa]

I don't agree. All judgement and punishment, when not from God, is evil.

What if it’s judging Marches’s taste in music? Truly that must mean I am doing a service by protecting the world from The Eternal Anglo’s bad taste in music. :^))))

[Dumb Ideologies]

I don't empathise much with other people and sometimes struggle to regard either myself or particularly them as human. Combine this with intense dislike for revolutionary politics and DI's dictatorship would probably involve the murder of anyone exceeding 4 or 5 points in any direction on the political compass.

I was thinking of giving you a cabinet position. Maybe Minister for Culture and Social Affairs. It would be a joint department with Mostrov.

I would never accept absolute dictatorship because absolute dictatorship is not the government suited to the Anglo peoples.

It always seemed incongruous to me that one can favor anti-egalitarianism and hierarchical sorting and then object to its results.

There is more than one method of hierarchical sorting, and different methods work better for difference peoples and times.

You should read the article I posted on why bourgeois meritocracy is shit

link it

Because it's passing judgement on another person.

Passing judgement on another person where ordained by God, is not evil. 1 Peter 2:14 says God has established governors in order to punish the evil.

[The Parkus Empire]

You have said before that he was the greatest ruler Russia ever had.

He did not successfully eradicate the culture, but he tried very hard to, and sent it into a recession it didn't start to recover from until Seraphim of Sarov came along. By the 19th Century it was blossoming asgain, especially after Alexander II (who, of course, had a beard)

Peter is my favorite Russian ruler, but I by no means like him in general, nor am in very fond of the Russian state (I love their music, literature, and language though.)

I'm much more fond of and knowledgeable about German history.

Slavophile Russian writers were a cultural reaction against Peter's reforms.

This is incredible. Interesting how easily and simply it can be transplanted to British society.

Many "fun" things should be outlawed.

Nah.

Yes.

A large part of that article's dilemma would be solved if the expection of merit were not forced onto everyone, while keeping the mechanism in place.

Yes.

Give examples.

Nah.

Night clubs, strip joints, gambling dens, etc. should all be banned.

Yes, it will be an increasingly global problem.

Yeah but affecting social change without changing the rules is nearly impossible.

Give examples.

Heroin.

[Republic of the Cristo]

Why is it evil if it's necessary? That makes little sense.

Because it's passing judgement on another person.

Rulers are expected to pass judgement - and in Romans 15:17 we see that God commands that we willfully submit to our rulers.

[Northern Davincia]

Nah.

Night clubs, strip joints, gambling dens, etc. should all be banned.

I'm quite fond of those little indulgences, though I don't partake in them. A moral person would avoid them anyway, an immoral person would find substitutes in the black market.

[Questers]

Bit far. I agree with the others though.
