They're not. They're produced by people. Individuals. Not a class.

The Captialists are the ruling class, but the Proletariat make the decisions? Weird system.

There may be a reason for that. Maybe, just maybe, collectivism doesn't reflect reality. Hear me out, maybe people aren't part of some nebulous hive mind on the basis of how much they earn. Maybe the only distinction should be what they think, and some 'Proletariats' agree with the 'capitalists' (totally arbitrary distinctions btw).

Sounds like you're just spouting Communist maxims for the hell of it, rather than actually supporting your argument as to why we should disallow people from acting out according to their conscience.

How the fuck would you be unequal under the law if there are no anti-discrimination laws? Straight people can also be discriminated against. It sounds like you're just exaggerating.

Still discrimination.

I don't think you actually understand what those words mean.

Soviet Technocracy6 wrote:I don’t mean wrong in a moral sense, I mean it goes against the interest of the proletariat.

Which is subjectively wrong.

And the working class Christians would like to have a word with you.


I didnt realize this was so hard to understand. You as a likely straight white male would not have to question if you can buy a home or rent an apartment anywhere you want. You dont have to question if your going to be served at a restaurant, hotel or on bus. There is not and never has been systematic discrimination against your group.

Anti Discrimination laws and the Civil Rights Act ensure that everyone is treated equally. if you dont want to serve all then dont open a business

None of that has anything to do with equality under the law. It’s all speculation on what private actors would do.

Yes it does, because what we think is what we ultimately decide to implement into reality. Stop spouting authoritarian nonsense.

You're implying a specific economic framework whence you dictate these terms of yours, yet no one else does.

We have non discrimination laws.

It does say in public though, which could be interpreted as government work places. Sometimes on occasion it extends to private business.

That still has nothing to do with equality under the law. You do realize the CRA has nothing to do with that, right? The thing you’re looking for is amendment 14.

I don't think you know what 'equality under the law' means if this is your response to that question.
Yeah: Egalitarianism, equality
Meh: Labour, the EU
Nah: pointless discrimination, authoritarianism, Brexit, Trump, both American parties, the Conservatives

Actually this isn't true, incidentally - men are often systematically discriminated against in housing. It's illegal, but advertisements for apartments or subleases for women only are not actually uncommon at all.

This is another area where lawsuit trolls need to help society to get better.

Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.
The Parkus Empire: Being serious on NSG is like wearing a suit to a nude beach.
New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.
