Ither posted:To the people who are choosing not to vote, what outcome do you expect to follow from that choice? It could be many things. Either they are not concerned with immediate outcomes, believe that inaction is somehow morally different from action, believe in accelerationism, somehow believe that...not voting or protest voting will actually produce change, or are deontologists.

Josef bugman posted:Avoiding climate change by driving an electric car has the same amount of utility as trying to change the direction of the hurricane you are in by farting. It is an effort, but it doesn't really do all the much and the majority of people are still going to be getting materially affected by stuff to a far greater degree. On an individual level, yes, but the bill is aimed at encouraging broad adoption of electric vehicles which should have a large aggregate impact on ~20% of emissions in the US over time.

So how is that different from just advocating for armed insurrection?

Class3KillStorm posted:I mean, is that even feasible when there are people directly affected by gun violence who don't have a commensurate revelation, and end up still championing gun rights even after those experiences? There's one Parkland dad who is still a gun nut, even after losing a kid. Hell, Steve Scalise got his balls shot off and he still came back to vote pro-gun. Sure there are going to be some. Parkland dad guy can't admit to himself that his beliefs on gun control might have partially contributed to his kid's death, so he doubles down. Scalise remains as well paid as before to vote the way he does, if not more so. His livelihood somewhat depends on his position staying the same (as he may lose his seat if he doesn't) and so his position stays the same. So sure, some people won't but enough would change their minds, I think. It would just be horrific in terms of casualties.

PainterofCrap posted:You are being very diplomatic. What, something on the lines of "there are 4 criteria. The DOJ only had to make a successful claim for one of them, and they in fact made it on all four. Also we are unanimous that we would likely rule in favor of the DOJ on the merits of the case. PS, here is a primer on classification law." E: also there response to the idea that the threat of prosecution creates irreparable harm is pretty plaintext: "you're an idiot" Ravenfood fucked around with this message at 12:35 on Sep 22, 2022 |
