You installed our addon? Let us just open a tab in your browser for ya so you can get to know us better!

Can't fucking believe someone downvoted us for speaking our mind. No worries, I'm used to it. Get a lot worse on the street, just bizarre how disconnected from reality some people are.

Yeah, lots of alcoholics. I mean lots of drugs overall. A lot of the times it's the reason we become homeless. A lot of the rest of the time we become addicts after becoming homeless. You hang out with the same people day in day out, and it becomes like kind of a fraternity. In some weird way it's more honest than "housed society". It's like, it reminded me a lot of the army in a way. You're constantly on your feet, constantly working, constantly hustling, constantly hungry, constantly fighting, constantly on edge, right? And just like in the army you quickly grow tight knit connections with people, because you go through the same fucking struggle every day, not necessarily together, but sometimes, but in any case, at the end of the day, there's no pretention, there's no grandstanding, we're all a bunch of dirty old bums scrounging for food in trash cans, there's no room for formalities if you catch my drift.

You ever been homeless? It's... A humbling experience. A valuable one. Sure as fuck makes you appreciate everything around you a lot more, and sure as fuck makes you realize just how little you actually need to survive, and how bountiful society actually is, and how fighting for survival awakes deep primal instincts in you that you didn't know you had.

Sorry for rambling, just happened I suppose. Peace.

I don't see how this could backfire!

This is top shelf meme. None of that cheap stuff!

I hear "the social contract has been ripped in half".

I don't think about it. I don't understand the question, honestly. I see people as men or women, short or tall, blue eyed or brown eyed, they come they go. It's not important to me how they see themselves, it doesn't interfere with my daily business or interactions with people, I try my best to treat everybody with respect and mind my own business. They can think they're the Queen of England for all I care.

Huh. I was going to write my own reply but I will defer to your argument, it perfectly encapsulates how I see it too, no notes.

I think it is a very topical argument- mind you I am genuinely not taking a position, I am exploring the logical consequences of the argument. There are pitfalls in the line or reasoning going on the argument that they are making. This is how philosophical discourse works. It's how arguments and logic works. Being emotional about it is fine, but it's not conducive to exploring the consequences of the argument.

The reason incest is frowned upon and often illegal is because of the danger it poses to any potential offspring.

The purely hypothetical counter argument here would be that what constitutes a "defect" or "danger" is highly subjective and prone to abuse. Where do we draw the line? Either there is no line and anyone can freely breed offspring, or we are in dangerous territory where we are determining which qualities we as a society deem "unwanted". What do we mean by "defect"? What do we mean by "unwanted"?

At a population scale, genetic diversity is critical to survival of a population, and a collapse of genetic diversity through too much inbreeding tends to lead to a very unhealthy population

Well that is an argument from utility. Who is to say that people must subject themselves to the "critical survival of a population"? What if people don't care? If they refused to, what would we do? Force them not to breed, by, say sterilizing them? Surely you see the issue here.

That's ok. You don't have to like what other people think. I don't always like what other people think either. But it's good to challenge and think through ones positions, I think everyone benefits from that. I think it's critical, in fact.

(great thread BTW!)

Or homophobic, or transphobic, or other flavor of the month phobic.

If you disagree with their stated world view, you are being irrational, hateful, and must be censored. Which is ironic considering that what they demand is of the world to accept their version of reality at face value.
