You don’t think that “treat others nicely” and such doesn’t relate to human rights in the slightest? I’m not talking about the BS, I’m talking about shit like “do unto others as you would want unto you” and such.

I don’t care to know any of you people, honestly. NSG pretty needlessly toxic.

I do.
If I and illegally crossed the Canadian border they would arrest me before sending me back to America, same if it was the other way around.

All nations defend there border because if they didn't there county would be non existent.

I do. I just disagree that religion has anything to do with that, partially because of the “BS”, as you put it, but also because of the behavior of any theocratic regime.

And none of the member states of the EU has collapsed into anomie or lost their political sovereignity from the new arrivals seizing political power for themselves. Not seeing a lot of Syrian or Afghan refugees sitting in the legislatures of Europe.

Entirely untrue.

Nihilism is the belief that life has no real point or meaning, essentially.
But life is what you make of it, thus everyone has their own meaning and point to life, as basic or eccentric as it may be. Sure, there’s not a whole massive meaning to life, we weren’t made to do something, but we can decide things for ourselves.
Pretty pointless to waste time saying that we don’t have a purpose in life, and kind of needlessly cynical.

Why not? That seems to be the best compromise. Liberals always play both games but they never want to meet the middle road of isolationist policies. American soldiers are confined to protecting American borders, and that ends coups overseas. Domestic stability is the responsibility of the domestic population, and we work to keep it that way under that kind of foreign policy.

In exchange, those alien children are the responsibility of their parents. I understand superpowers can unfairly unhinge neighboring countries, but if we practice a kind of nationalism to keep America focused on itself, and what happens in its own borders -- with exceptions to economic shifts and some intelligence practices -- then everyone around the superpower wins too.

No.

Idk seems pretty reasonable to me.

1. Moral nihilism says that morals aren’t real. Nothing to do with the meaning of life.
2. I don’t believe our lives have a purpose on the cosmic scale. Death will rule the greatest kingdom, given enough time. However, we don’t experience things on the cosmic scale, because we die-and this we experience things on the human scale, which gives our own experiences intrinsic value because they are experienced. Our logic is not quite the same, but the general conclusion is.
