You haven't lived until you've seen our Confederate heroes rendered upon largest bas-relief carving in the world on the world's largest chunk of exposed granite. Go during the Laser Show and Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and Jefferson Davis ride off the mountain in a blaze of high-intensity lasers to the tune of, and this is ironic the Star Spangled Banner. Although it could have been the Elvis' cover of Dixie.

It's Deffo Elvis singing "Glory Glory Hallelujah" when they animate them riding across a war-torn battlefield.

I went recently with my daughter and it was about as loving awkward as I'd imagined it would be, seeing it after all these years.

While I'm not terribly in favor of destroying the carving, I am kinda hype at the concept of modernizing it.

The weak condemnation was probably the worst thing Trump could have done.

Any level of condemnation will piss off his base while everyone else sees through the bullshit.

He has no backbone. He acts like a pouting child. But in the end everytime he starts getting beat up in the media he'll go out, throw a little tantrum and then cave.

All this after his weak little attempt at a strongman routine at North Korea. After folding on Healthcare.

He doesn't have the intellectual strength to even recognize good policy. He doesn't have the moral strength to say "Nazis are bad". He doesn't have the strength of will to act as a leader for the Republican party.

He is lacking in physical strength, intellectual strength, moral strength and strength of character.

Trump is just a weak man in every sense of the word.

my vague recollection is that the "socialist" part was sort of a relic of the pre-hitler ideology and hitler never paid any attention to it after he got control of the party (or really to any of the formal ideology of the party aside from the racism and the 'leader principle')

yeah, it was the hamburg group of nazis that basically wanted a strongman version of socialism for white germany only, including "gently caress the church" and "gently caress the landed nobility". goebbels belonged to that group and never gave up some aspects of socialism entirely. the munich group around hitler worked with the conservative aristocracy and big business from the start and swallowed the hamburg fraction. the "national socialism" moniker was one of the rhetorical give-aways to the hamburg nazis to keep them placated, even though the combined group never lived up to it.

Not so sure about that. The Nazis know that they're still marginal enough that Trump needs to occasionally distance himself from them. They'll interpret his begrudging tardiness as support.

Cingulate posted:

I mean violence that creates actual suffering - you and your friends meeting up for Capoeira, or really interesting sex, is cool and good I guess.
I do think something can have both good and bad aspects. E.g., killing Hitler would be bad because a few people would be sad, but it would also be good because Hitler murdered ten of millions of people, so in this case the good very clearly outweighs the bad.
Got it! Just wanted to make sure. It seems plausible to me that someone might think that even violence that does not create suffering is bad, so since you said "all violence" I wanted to double check.

quote:

I'm not sure on this one, but I'm coming to think that I'd actually go for option 2: no punishment, just rehabilitation or, if it doesn't work, quarantining. (Pereboom and Caruso have written things on this I agree with, or you can go here: http://www.believermag.com/issues/200303/?read=interview_strawson)
I'm not claiming this is obviously the case, I am aware you can make a strong case for deserved punishment being good even if it increases net suffering.

Ha! I actually read the elder Strawson's Freedom and Resentment and I'm so use to reading Strawsonian free-will that I honestly always forget that his son doesn't play for that team. Have not read the younger much though. Reading the article, I think I would quibble with the idea that we need to be the ultimate reason for our actions -- which sounds strange -- both in the sense that I am not sure that most people think that way about free will and, even if they do, whether it would not be possible to convince that "ultimate reason" is a bad litmus test for free will. Nahmias has done some x-phi work on people's folk intuitions about free will which point towards compitablism, albeit it seems possible that people's folk intuitions are so utterly confused as to be meaningless (although, I'd be careful there, because if that is the case, we might worry that the issue philosophers are talking about how no relationship to what people think, which would call into question how relevant it is for judgments concerning punishment, etc.).

quote:

Maybe. Complicated stuff.
(I don't care for "blame" really. Causes are important. Blame, not so much. See the above link.)

I think blame is important for two reasons. First, because I find retributionism appealing and have not been won over by the no-moral responsibility team, believe that blameworthiness and praiseworthiness of patients should change our attitudes about them, even if we have other reasons for action that compel us to a similar conclusion. That is to say, I think blame is a salient moral characteristic when we use morality to guide our actions and determine appropriate attitudes. Second, most people believe in blame and praise and act accordingly to blame and praise. So that seems to give me a pragmatic reason to care about it.

And, honestly, I find discussion of causes difficult because it seems very hard in most cases to know what the effects of actions will be.

E.g. You, I believe, have mentioned the rise of the Nazis and communist street violence in Weimar as relating to the success of the Nazis. On the one hand, that is probably responsible for some success, but I am skeptical with how much. When I think of Weimar, I certain structural problems. I see the SPD failing to work with the far left and setting the freikorp against them in 18-19 and a cult of violence built amongst ex-soldiers (look at the soldiers profiled in Male Fantasies). The state itself was unstable and had to survive a putsch from Kapp. And the major conservative party (DNVP) opposed democracy and in the wake of the Great Depression effectively ended democracy by vesting dictatorial power into the president (by 1930, there is a article by Michael Dreyer who understands it as effectively a four part coup where different elements of the democratic system of Weimar are destroyed, but I do not have it right now, could probably get it in a week or so).

So, I would read the destruction of democracy as being primarily caused by the Great Depression and by the DNVP (and to a lesser extent the KPD). Yet the DNVP would always face the problem of being very unpopular and the only party that they could turn to would be the Nazis. I look at the Reichstag fire as being ultimately secondary to their ascension to power, because the DNVP would have always been weak on the popular front and so would have always needed to turn to a right-wing violent band with popular support (like the Nazis).

But this also seems to have further implications to me though. The person who burned down the Reichstag was, as far as I can tell, an unemployed Dutch Communist. It seems like it would be very difficult to control all people who have ideological affinity to you, especially in situations where democracy is dying and violence has been intensely normalized. So even if it was the cause, it hardly seems to tell us what we should do about violent antifa now (especially when the US has a number of points of disanalogy with Weimar).
