Nah, Carlgon has always been a classical liberal but has just not read any of the classical liberals to find out what dumb poo poo they also believed but would probably support that too.

His recent change of rhetorical focus has been an Ayn Rand "racists are bad, but only because they're collectivists, like communists" thing.

Because they think collectively, I assume. They reject the idea that everyone is an island of pure rationality, solely responsible for their own ideas, status, and actions in life and can by sheer force of will reshape the world according to their desire as long as they want it enough.

Because that's incompatible with the idea that foreigners are inherently inferior. And y'know, the former is very much Rand's schtick.

I mean racists are correct in their assessment that environments shape people they're just completely wrong about what environments shape what people in what ways and lack any self awareness about the effects of their environments on themselves. But they are, in theory, at least accepting of a fundamental basis of collectivist thinking, whereas Rand utterly rejects it.

Because they're tribal and reject the sovereign rational individual as the most important thing, replacing it with the race. Also they believe in chemistry.

quote:

Racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism. It is the notion of ascribing moral, social or political significance to a man’s genetic lineage—the notion that a man’s intellectual and characterological traits are produced and transmitted by his internal body chemistry. Which means, in practice, that a man is to be judged, not by his own character and actions, but by the characters and actions of a collective of ancestors.

Racism claims that the content of a man’s mind (not his cognitive apparatus, but its content) is inherited; that a man’s convictions, values and character are determined before he is born, by physical factors beyond his control. This is the caveman’s version of the doctrine of innate ideas—or of inherited knowledge—which has been thoroughly refuted by philosophy and science. Racism is a doctrine of, by and for brutes. It is a barnyard or stock-farm version of collectivism, appropriate to a mentality that differentiates between various breeds of animals, but not between animals and men.

Like every form of determinism, racism invalidates the specific attribute which distinguishes man from all other living species: his rational faculty. Racism negates two aspects of man’s life: reason and choice, or mind and morality, replacing them with chemical predestination.

There are forms of racist collectivists, the guys forming white only towns, the people who support welfare but believe that racial heterogeneity undermines it, the entire body of National Socialism, but it's still a :psyduck: analysis.

I mean, at a base level I agree that racism is one of the lowest, most crudely primitive forms of collectivism. I just think that implies that there are much better forms, not that racism is bad because it is collectivist.

This if my favorite 'checkmate', it's like they think the argument is a deflection but are in fact literally coming out as racist, eg they think a race being inferior is 'reality', the definition of racism.

According to Objectivists: Muslims all freely subscribe to a terrible religion/ideology. Ideology or philosophy is the only thing that determines your actions in a consistent way. So all muslims are terrorists and all muslims are innately responsible for being muslims and therefore it is fine to equate all muslim to being terrorists and also to place all moral responsibility on them for being muslims. Easiest group for objectivists to hate.

All right, I'll burn my youtube recommendations by watching this garbage. Quick take: Bad idea, usual bullshit about forms filled out in triplicate for position changes.

I had a thing I was gonna write about how his metaphors suck, but then it became really clear that he has never actually had sex with a living person. Like, the poo poo that he's saying is impressively ignorant of the practical nature of how sex works. Moreso than your usual MRA consent critic.

I'm guessing it's the lovely, whiny voice that's driving 'em away, dude. And then there's the words you're using that terrible voice to say. It's all just a bad combination.

lol what a loving idiot. You don't ask for consent in basketball, so it's okay to throw balls at random people on the street. No? Oh, it's okay to throw balls at people, but only after you've asked "hey, wanna play basketball?" Ok, so it's okay to throw cricket balls at people as long as you've asked "hey, wanna play basketball?" No? Okay, so there's a set of things that most people culturally expect basketball to involve, and if you want to go outside those you should clarify to make sure they're down with it too before proceeding? Like maybe there's shorthand for some of them, like "hey, wanna play cricket?" and maybe for other more unusual requests you might have to go into more detail? Yes! Well that just sounds a lot like you're describing consent.

But what if my friend says he wants to play cricket and I accidentally injure him with the ball and then he lies and says I assaulted him and I go to prison for not getting cricket consent forms in triplicate? That's not a real thing that happens unless you're a total rear end in a top hat who goes out of his way to injure your friends, so yeah, consent during sex is a lot more like getting agreement from your friends to do any activity, and not a lot like getting agreement from your bank for an overdraft or whatever stupid poo poo he seems to imagine social interactions as.

Somfin is right, he sounds like someone who has never actually had sex with another person. And probably has never socially interacted with other people in a fulfilling way either.

With that basketball thing, I think he's trying to make an argument like: "I don't have to ask permission to pass the ball to someone in basketball, so why do I have to ask permission to do <sex thing my partner might not expect or want>?"

But he's forgetting something. Basketball is pretty standardized. Most of us agree already what is involved in a game of basketball, and what the basic rules are. If you ask someone to play basketball, and they say yes with no stated conditions, you can reasonably assume they've agreed to all of the understood rules of basketball. If you want to play by other rules, you have to talk about that ahead of time. If certain things aren't allowed, if certain things are worth more or fewer points, anything deviating from the most basically understood premise of "the rules of basketball" needs to be determined ahead of time, and you're probably not going to do that non-verbally.

Let's say a player has to leave for some reason. If you force them to stay and finish the game against their protests, you're being pretty loving rude, right? If a player gets hurt and wants to stop playing because it, y'know, hurts to do so, and you force them to finish the game anyway, you're actively hurting someone, right?

And sex is a whole lot more complicated than basketball. We don't have an agreed-upon set of rules that we categorize under "sex." If you ask another person if they want to have sex, even if they say yes, you might not know exactly what they expect, and they might not know exactly what you expect. It would be like if there were dozens of different versions of basketball that were all called "basketball," some played with a ball and two hoops, some with like four hoops and three balls, some with just four balls and there's a stick for some reason, some where dunking is the only way to score and others where it's not allowed at all, and you asked someone if they want to play "basketball"--you'd probably still have to do some communicating along the way to make sure everyone's playing the same game and everyone's on board with the game being played.
