DACK FAYDEN posted:It seems like it might be an argument that would convince the people that it is (probably?) trying to convince, even if it's factually false in every way. So I guess it should get half a point for trying. Yeah there's a broad swath of boomers who associate communism entirely with Soviet Union as understood by US media in 1960s/70s. They mostly just associate the word with totalitarian governments and don't even think really hard about the economic stuff. Also see that hot take from a couple months ago about Trump being the most Marxist president, and the classic "Nazis are communists they have socialism right in the name."

Mainly because the guy who owns the company I work for read that article years later and went on a multi-year double spacing in emails campaign. He eventually gave up but man for a while there were some weird emails floating around the office where people would intentionally use two spaces for a sentence or two and then forget for a while then remember and everything people were writing just had weird inconsistent spacing.

I spent some time thinking about this when Scalia died and when McCain died. It strikes me that it's not good enough for them to wield power and horde wealth. They get very upset if we don't respect them for the things they personally think earned them respect. I think this shows up in how we talk about them dying. Like objectively by the standards they judged themselves by they were very successful, so we must be in solemn awe of that success that they say should be the measure of their life. Well gently caress that. I laugh at the fact for all their supposed success they can't stop age or illness and they're just dust like the rest of us. Honestly I find it very funny to know that they'll be footnotes in history at best, if humanity survives another hundred years.

As mentioned in the other thread this came up in that's common law jurisdictions like the UK and Australia. US criminal law is a bit of a different beast. Now I'm not saying for 100% sure it's not used somewhere in the US, but in general the intent required to convict someone of homicide is going to be based on the relevant statutes.

Hodgepodge posted:The Wikipedia article repeatedly states that it is also applied in criminal law. With the important criminal precedents listed. So before I get into this response let me first say that I think and hope that Chauvin will be charged with the highest murder charge Minnesota has. gently caress him. But if he is convicted it probably be either third degree murder or a manslaughter as much as that sucks. Because it's all about intent and the victim's underlying health condition isn't really relevant at all beyond the fact that the cop did a thing and it resulted in death. So for something to be the lowest kind of murder in Minnesota it has to be within 609.195 https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.195 quote:(a) Whoever, without intent to effect the death of any person, causes the death of another by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life, is guilty of murder in the third degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 25 years. There's no room here for an eggshell skull rule because the the act has to be eminently dangerous and evincing a depraved mind w/o regard for human life. Say for example that two people are engaged in an argument and one slaps the other. The person slapped has a medical condition and the slap results in death. Now if the eggshell rule applied that would be murder, but it can't be murder because slapping someone isn't eminently dangerous. It's not murder even though the eggshell rule exists because really their health condition doesn't matter, what matters for the purpose of the law is what the person intended to do and the fact that it resulted in death. I guess you could say that's an eggshell rule since it's all about the intent but at that point you're getting into a tautology. You don't really need an eggshell rule here because the relevant questions are did they die and did you intend to do something that would fit what the statute says is murder. There's also manslaughter which has a lower intent requirement. The lowest kind of manslaughter is 609.205 https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.205 I especially like (2) quote:A person who causes the death of another by any of the following means is guilty of manslaughter in the second degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than ten years or to payment of a fine of not more than $20,000, or both: Going back to my original hypothetical I don't think most people would say that slapping someone creates and unreasonable risk and has the chance of causing death or great bodily harm. Slaps don't do that kind of damage. Now maybe if you know someone is really loving frail and do it anyway, that changes things, but that wouldn't be the eggshell rule because that rule is about unknown conditions. This is getting too effort posty though and gently caress effort so I'll just say that US criminal law is mostly driven by the statutes and not common law concepts.

Hodgepodge posted:we aren't lawyers, and trying to dig deeper than "yes, this broad rule applicable in the jurisdiction" is a good way to end up arguing about things that are legally unrelated I'm saying that broad rule isn't really applicable but yeah it's not particularly important because crushing someone's neck with your knee easily satisfies at bare minimum the third degree murder law.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Yeah, I was confused when it was implied that America wasn't a common law country. Unless your entire knowledge of the law is based on a Louisiana context, it should be real obvious that the US is a common law system. Sorry. Didn’t mean to cause confusion. US criminal law is statutory. There’s still a ton of common law in US civil law but once you’re into criminal stuff it’s a whole different world. Which isn’t to say that common law principals like precedent and stuff don’t still come in. But when it comes in it’s about statutory construction and not broad principals.

You see, I don't consider gentrification to be an inherently bad thing. It's generally pretty good for the climate, as it makes high income high emissions people live in urban areas, which are more environmentally friendly. Increases investment in urban areas, and it allows poverty to be broken up. Heck, many of the Black neighborhoods today were not originally Black upon their construction. Who are we to say that XYZ people deserve XYZ land? I also don't put much value any idea that certain groups deserve certain land. We should desire a multicultural racially diverse dociety. The idea that certain races belong on certain land borders on segregationist talk.

Without watching her video I’m kind of curious what her point is. Veganism is definitely closely tied to global supply chains and capitalism. The ability to plan and source entirely vegan diets, especially because it’s so closely tied to organic production, isn’t really feasible for large segments of the worlds population, especially if you want to take into consideration stuff like locally sourcing your food, seasonality, water and land use, agricultural workers, etc...

Chamale posted:The massive amount of meat in the typical Western diet is closely tied to capitalism and imperialism. The point of veganism isn't that no one on the planet should eat meat, it's that industrial animal agriculture is killing the planet and we need to stop doing that and stop supporting it in any way. Feeding plants to animals to make meat is much less efficient than growing edible plants and eating them. There's a place for hunting and grazing in a hypothetical mostly-vegan world, but most of the meat in our world comes from factory-farmed animals that eat grains and legumes. Yeah. I’m not pretending that the current system is any better or any less tied to global capitalism. It’s just that veganism has most of the same problems.
