"The best person for the job should be hired" White supremacy! Sexism! "People should be held accountable for their actions" Fascism! ACAB! "Business owners should reap the benefits of their operation" Eat the rich! I had to look horseshoe theory up last night. Yeah, it's pretty dumb from an ideological standpoint, but the extremes of the left and right sure do look and sound similar. Nuance can't survive in absolute discussions. I like eat the rich especially. How rich? At what point is one eaten? $999,999.99?

Reverse racism! "Cops as an institution perpetuate violence and exploit the poor keeping them in poverty" You just want to protect criminals and remove accountability. I don't have one for the last one, except that only reason a business owner deserves anything more than their workers is because of risk. We've also largely removed risk at the corporate level, and risk is mostly a function of capital.

I have been reading this thread to fall asleep for the last week and it’s been a wild ride. I have really appreciated everyone in this thread posting in earnest. I’ve found it more and more difficult to know what anyone actually thinks, how many people are choosing silence over conflict, or even knowing who is publicly advocating for things as a social behavior. I think it’s painful sometimes, but this really is the only way forward I can think of besides people isolating into smaller groups or just staying completely silent and letting others direct the conversation. To contribute I will admit that I am vaccine hesitant. (I have not told anyone besides my partner and it is actually hard to type.) I DID GET both doses almost as soon as I could and will be getting a booster, but I do not like the idea of being in the first decade or two of people trying a new medicine or anything like that. I deal with several elderly people in my life so I felt it was important to do it early especially since I was going places indoors. But I deeply empathize with a anyone concerned about what could go wrong. I will say I have really really researched it and I think if your specific concern is the mRNA thing I had similar concerns and no longer have them. It is smart to question everything, but after really looking at it for a while I would bet big on it being completely safe. If you haven’t gotten it yet I would say at this point it feels incredibly safe to me. If you are feeling more open scheduling an appointment is super easy now and there is like no wait or problem.

eSporks posted:I was thinking about it more and it makes sense given the lens the left and right generally use. The left tries to talk about systems, while the right is focused on individuals. I see the opposite more often than not. eSporks posted:What? None of the "conservative" points you listed are nuanced, or even something that a person on the left would disagree with. You are using the dumbed down talking points that conservatives use to negate more nuanced ideas. My examples might have been lovely, but the point was the knee jerk catchphrase responses to them. Some places definitely have long standing, systemic issues with hiring practices. Some places have diversity quotas. Meritocracy is a dirty word. Maybe not nuanced, but complicated. Cops are a hard one because your cops appear to be very murdery. Australian cops have become what I can only describe as severe and gang like. They're loving badly hated. Cops in my country are super diverse and community focused. Lots of women, lots of races and cultures, lots of immigrants. Brown people in poo poo cars still get pulled over way more often. Conservative opinion: People grossly overvalue the "value of their labour". Risk at sub corporate level can be crushing, and most employees give exactly zero shits.

It is bad that environmental pollutants, food deserts only providing unhealthy food, lack of food sovereignty, and the effects of poverty results in young Black women experiencing puberty sooner than white women. It is not quite as bad, but still lovely, that a subset of internet "leftists" (who would be first against the wall in any genuine revolution) will regard you as a hotep or incel for saying so.

pop punk posted:I have been reading this thread to fall asleep for the last week and it’s been a wild ride. Do you think you were hesitant because getting a vaccine is an affirmative action with a 100% outcome, and the risk of getting the virus isn’t 100%? Genuinely, curious. That was how I felt about flu shots when I was younger. Edit add. Thank you for being strong and protecting the vulnerable. Prior to the vaccine I had double-digit fatality risk from Covid and my life might have been saved by someone like you, who put others before themself.

The only real and valid vaccine concern I've heard that makes sense to me is that is was rushed in a crisis and there are no long term studies of possible effects down the road. A woman I was out on a date with was kind of struggling with the whole thing because like Flowers for QAnon said, she felt like she could manage the risk of getting COVID vs. just having to go all in on the vaccine. She was very afraid of her abusive alcoholic ex getting the kids and has been able to telework through the whole thing. She said once they bring her kids back full time and make them get it she probably will, though. It's hard to ask everyone to be rational in the same way when it comes to risk management. Obviously there are some utterly insane anti vaccine people but I feel bad for the borderline cases that have a lot of other stuff going on.

While I agree it’s a rational concern, I think the counter argument was sound - re rushed. I think you hit the core of the issue as it pertains to risk management. The human brain is absolutely terrible at this, to no one’s fault.

Raithe posted:I see the opposite more often than not. As a critique of our current liber democracy, libertarianism is concerned with how the power structures stop the individual from achieving their potential. Socialism/communism is concerned with how they affect groups. You also see this ideological difference play put in vaccines. Yes I know there are outliers, bit vaccines are largely a left vs right thing. About the small business owner, I think it fair they earn more than their workers under the current system, because they are assuming risk, and yes that risk is crushing. Most small business owners I've encountered don't care about the burdens of their employees though, so expecting the workers to care about the risk of their boss is silly. So many horrible owners that expect their employees to be as invested as they are, when their employees are litteraly not invested. If you want your employees to be as invested as you, give them a share of the profits, but that's socialism!
