Oh lord...
>Centrist because of the political compass test
Good god, that test is basic-bitch as fuck to the point of being near worthless at defining a person unless they go "highly agree/highly disagree" for a lot of the questions. There's a reason it was seen a LOT of people taking it would fall within the lib-left/lib-center area in most cases. Dev coming up in the middle for "Babby's first political test" means nothing.
That said, he is PARTLY true. I could easily agree that Dev is a centrist....Just not a "SENSIBLE" one.
Meh, all I see is this is the usual argument of empirical vs conceptual; each side has its pros and cons and shit goes nowhere fast, especially when you're dealing with metaphysical concepts such as the soul. The simplest answer Dev could give to that is "prove the existence of the soul", which usually ends with thought-experiments and shit that goes nowhere fast. That said, this could just as easily be turned against Dev with respect to natural rights vs "might is right" and the like; so I don't think Dev would stick to this ideal as much.But this again comes back to how his being pedantic is just retarded. Because the best argument against this or any other line of reasoning is to argue for a definition of 'you' and hope you can make it so hyper specific as to create a materalist definition that somehow includes the perception of the physical while excluding the perception of the conceptual and I haven't thought that through but I'm sure it creates a mine field of other problems.
All I would say is Dev wins the argument by default, only because YWNBAW is in full effect. I don't care what a troon says they are, if their body says otherwise, I will listen to the body first. 100 times as much if said troon doesn't even put in an effort to try and pass.
The issue I have here (and where I feel Dev KINDA has a point) is Trump isn't willing to take 'No' for an answer, and has been very erratic in how he'd want to acquire Greenland, going "I'm not gonna use force to acquire it" one day, then on another day, going "We're gonna get it one way or another." This isn't "Guy entering your store and asking if he can buy something, so you mock him." This is "Guy is telling you to put up your house for sale, when you don't want to, and is saying everything from 'c'mon I'll give you a good price for it.' to 'If you don't sell it to me, these other guys might take it; so it's better I get it one way or another.'" At that point, the proper reply kinda would be to tell the guy "Piss off, faggot" and mock his mother. But the topic of Trump and Greenland is better off in his own thread (and I've spoken about it in length there.)
Also Dev, I dont know. Maybe there's a reason Americans are starting to view europeans as their enemies (I know I do). Cause keep in mind, this is all the reaction to Trump talking about wanting to BUY Greenland. Not invading it, not saying he's going to steal it, not threatening violence against anyone. Wanting to buy.
You go into any store and ask if you can buy something, and they start making fun of your cousin's overdose and calling you a retard, the store cant act shocked when you kind of personally hate them.
The problem here is, it's Dev retweeting this, and given the levels of TDS we've seen from him, it actually counts against the "anti-Trump side". On top of which, Trump being a "russian asset" is debatable and slightly retarded; at best, I'd imagine the guy is a useful idiot for Russia. He's not really taking marching orders from Putin; he's just being retarded over the whole thing because Norway isn't giving him what he wants.
Chalk up another one for "Dev is TECHNICALLY correct; but I am highly doubtful of him knowing the right balance points of the issue." One can have free speech while also having social consequences; hell, simplest example of that would be the fags who like anime loli-shota bullshit. They may not be arrested (for now), but ostracizing them for that shit is a-ok as a social consequence.
The question is at what point the "social cost" crosses a line. As we've seen, getting people fired or shit for innocuous beliefs or political opinions is too far a social cost, but at some point, but that doesn't mean you let fags like NAMBLA or the KKK or commies walk around without any form of proper pushback. The only question is what the "proper pushback" would be; and I would not trust Dev to reply with a proper answer on that front.
