The American dream is being above the law.

I don’t know if it works, but shouldn’t we be allowed to call our political opponents puppy killers now?

I agree with what you wrote, but it could be interpreted as more libertarian

The thing is I don’t see how there can be potentialities beyond what happened already. It’s impossible to predict the future, but the amalgamation of all the material factors is purely responsible for the future.

That has nothing to do with free will. People don’t choose whether to follow their interests like they’re flipping a coin. They are influenced by many things including empathy and interests to make whatever decisions, but you could call is “free” will whatever decision they make even if it’s determined. I do think there is a need to fight economism, the thinking that simple things like class are purely responsible for certain decisions.

Can’t argue with that.

I tend to think nothing can exist outside the material world and humans aren’t really special, but I saw some things recently that claim to debunk that and I’m not sure what to think of it. I’m an emergentist.

I should have specified Chernyshevsky, but Lenin’s also contains some names that are weird.

The best outcome. I don’t like TikTok, but red scare forcing them to sell is bad too.

What’s the original?

Better idea: replace regular fiction names with political figures
