Cogito is thus not a substantial entity, but a pure structural function, an empty place—as such, it can only emerge in the interstices of substantial communal systems.

-Slavoj Zizek

...as in the spaces between a man under a tree... and a falling apple.

...or the spaces on an Iroquois treaty wampum... between two parallel lines. ;)

Life breaks only those who give up.

Which is the plan motivating the criminal sitting in the now grossly defiled oval office.

One man's Paradise is another man's Hell, Les. Can't we just agree to stay in our designated regions? That was what Federalism was supposed to allow... that is... until we became the singular United State of America (post-1865).

Celebrating the American attempt at genocide? Probably. You celebrated the Zionist genocide of Palestinians.

Dave Miller said...

-FJ, how does that work in such a connected world? Our water, highway, electrical grid and more are all inter connected? Should there not be a set of common laws, equal enforced in all states?

Should any state be able to legally discriminate against people? As we saw in the south? Or do the feds have a duty to yes, force, certain behaviors on recalcitrant states?

Shouldn't I have the right to have my marriage recognized in all of these United States? As opposed to just the ones that have no problem with interracial marriage?

Or are all efforts of consistency, foolish? And if not all -FJ, how do we decide?

Les Carpenter said...

For individuals who do not fully recognize the truth of Dependent Origination, the understanding that because this exists that exists, the degree of interconnectedness and interbeing is lost on them.

Without consistency chaos becomes the natural endpoint. We function in the relative reality, not the absolute reality the vast majority of our waking hours.

The Iroquois escaped to Canada after all but the Seneca joined the British and fought for king and country. We should have finished the British off in 1812.

Don't I have a right to visit North Korea and not be discriminated against, Dave? And I certainly don't want to have to eat any kimchee while I'm there!

Bring back the Articles of Confederation!

Dave Miller said...

Sorry -FJ... I lost my mind and assumed you were actually interested in an adult back and forth. Who, while talking about stuff like interstate commerce and the full faith and credit clause, wouldn't bring up North Korea.

My questions must've been to hard for you to understand. I'll wait for your videos...

Les Carpenter said...

MAGAts are never interested in adult back and forth. They're too interested in trumpian conspiracy and false narratives.

Joe Conservative said...

You're the one clamouring for insurrection, Dave, so why not bring up North Korea? Can't your zoom lens project far enough into the future of global capitalism?

Dave Miller said...

Again -FJ... I've never advocated for insurrection and you'll never find a post or comment where I have done so, your hopes notwithstanding. So there's that.

But again, good deflection, though a rhetorical fallacy in honest discussion. You brought up a point of view. I asked questions about it. And you, while ignoring those legitimate questions, somehow added North Korea to the thread and presumed to know my viewpoint on the matter.

Fascinating.

I wonder why you do so?

Drumph actually incited an insurrection in 2021 J6 and is orchestrating a scenario which he turns the military on his fellow citizens. Drumph is a very sick and unhinged human form.
