sous-merde

In France we only know Louis Pasteur, first time i’m hearing about Edward Jenner

I wouldn’t know how to contradict you, he talked about freedom a lot and that’s why i called him a libertarian, but contrary to Ron Paul, he was against the freedom of : aborting, using drugs, free immigration, being gay or trans(, or at least with the same rights), searching/teaching “woke” subjects(, gender studies, critical race theory, …).
He favored wars, and security-state arguments, so wouldn’t have opposed mass surveillance.

You’re right, he was only a partial libertarian, that is to say, i think, that he wasn’t a real libertarian, thanks for your correction.
He was only 31. Of course many more people died an avoidable&unjust death in the last 24h, and there are still so much hate from everywhere, imperfections give us a purpose i guess.

Even if the rules are rigged since the rich are buying mass medias, i won’t ever support killing ideological opponents, obviously, there’s not enough ideological diversity i.m.h.o., and i don’t like having the same set of rules/ideas on a national or even continental level :

• I don’t believe that abortions are murders, foetuses never met anyone nor have any memories, if any consciousness at all. At the risk of shocking i believe that killing an insect is worse because at least i have no doubts on their consciousness, ideally we should refrain from abortion, although having an unwanted baby can ruin both the parents/mother’s life and her child’s childhood, births should be desired. If abortions “only” murder a potential, then preventing it “murders” the potential of the other child that’d be born in replacement(, and ok, i’ll agree with the Church that it’s not an easy topic, it’s just that no-one has in-utero memories). But i want some cities to ban abortions, while others allow them. I also understand why people thinking that it’s a murder would consider themselves libertarian despite being against it.

• I believe that some illegal drugs make you develop an addiction without giving you much in return, and are taken by people already lost in their lives, while other drugs are wonderful and transform you into hippies, and yet other drugs enhances your performances, and there are still a lot of research to find the most useful drugs. But i want cities banning all of them, and others allowing even the worst ones, and understand why people thinking that all drugs will lead you to a criminal life as a homeless addict desperate for h.er.is next fix would consider themselves libertarian while wanting to preserve their citizens from such poison.

• I could see a problem with immigration in the sense that if more than 90% of french citizens is replaced by, e.g., algerian people, then the policy of our country would most likely change, and we’d feel closer to arab history. Just like polish/italian/spanish/portuguese/… immigrants weren’t a problem since we’re all european now, perhaps that an alliance with our glorious islamic sisters&brothers is the european future, and the same goes for the u.s. with hispanic people, or not, in any case we can’t continue to offer ten times the minimum salary from one country to the other, it’s clearly selfish&unjust. But i want cities to have free borders while other closes them, and understand that some people look at the fertility rates of white people and feel that if the u.s. is mostly black and hispanic then it’d be as if North America’s colonization had been for naught, so they’re libertarian but can’t allow immigration because of its threatening scale.

• I don’t see a problem with other people be(com)ing gay or trans, and even if it was a problem then it’s their problem, not mine. But i want cities banning straight and cis people, and others banning gays and trans, and understand why some people look at the statistics and fear that, i.d.k., that the percentage will climb to 50%, or even 80% and more ? And even so then what would be the problem ? I don’t really understand t.b.h.

• I don’t see a problem with teaching critical race theory or gender studies, how would that destroy our country ? I’m ashamed not to have listened to Charlie Kirk more, i live in a bubble.

• Mass surveillance and censorship will come, despite D.Trump and E.Musk honest efforts. The problem is that the bourgeoisie will want to protect itself from socialist ideology(, or even without it they’d still desire to prevent internal revolts), and will hence resort to more censorship/control against China’s rise, that’s a bipartisan policy.
  Perhaps that androids will make capitalist-owned states believe in some kind of utopia for all(, preventing the cause of revolts in a post-scarcity society for the whole world, without any more wars or desires of hegemony), it’s never lost in advance i suppose.
  Still awful that the only country who didn’t listen to our advice is the one with the best economic growth(, Cuba, Nicaragua, or Venezuela are under sanctions), i sincerely hope that we’re not knowingly keeping most countries poorer/exploited by advices/‘economic theories’ allowing us to maintain an advantage.

What a lame edit, i don’t see D.Trump as worse than J.Biden, they’re both anti-communists, but at least D.Trump favors free speech.

You can’t be a libertarian fascist, moron.

Not sure if you want an answer, but :
If we were on lemmygrad or hexbear it’d be the opposite ? That’s one thing that’s great with Lemmy, there’s no sitewide “moderation” like reddit(, until state censorship laws start invading our internet, which shouldn’t take much longer now, as always in the name of safety).
The members of feddit.org should decide the future of feddit.org, and the members of lemmygrad should do the same.
Similarly for Lviv, Transnistria, Crimea, the Donbass, Kiev, Odessa, Transcarpathia, …

(sry if you didn’t need an answer, i like that you’re against wars and this opposition is a good compass. We(sterners) got as much as we could from the eastern side of the Iron Curtain, and didn’t spare our efforts to get Ukraine as well, i can’t help but see the ukrainian bourgeoisie at work there as well as here, they won’t bite the hand that fed them. Russia fell low, but is raising fast and the “neutral” ukrainians that aren’t in/against either side kinda forgot about China, their news could be full of its amazing progress, it’d give hope, there’s a glorious future for Russia ahead and they could be part of it, in the name of the past. It’d be a loss for the little european union though, who lost its colonies and don’t want to expand in ‘islamic territories’/‘the sole other direction available to them’.)

Or the pro-Europe can emigrate there, and what if they love their lands ? Refusing to allow a referendum(, or to recognize the previous ones,) is the side you’re ending up defending then. Ideally, that’d be a more peaceful(&democratic) way of resolving such problems. I can’t blame Ukraine for choosing power over justice, that’s what most countries do(, exception, or not).
Some ukrainians have chosen Russia, others Europe, so be it.

Well, ideally, instead of having to choose between the european union and the russian federation, we’d all be united in diversity, in city-states with very different laws, and without ever having to fear for our safety(, which is always the n°1 reason we(sterners)&others invoke to be agressive).

I don’t want to annoy you or anyone here, but it wouldn’t be polite to leave your comment unanswered, even if i’m wary of the moderators’ dis-information/censorship.

if South Tyrol wanted back to Austria, and Italy ignored that, it wouldn’t be reasonable for Austria to invade Italy

So what would be reasonable to do in order to respect the will of South Tyrol ?

That’s the problem with Russian “politics”. If it’s not going their way, they will force it through.

Russia waited eight years, to the point that a (relatively )common criticism heard in the Donbass in 2022(, confirmed in Patrick Lancaster interviews on the ground,) was to ask why Russia waited that long before helping them.
How many more years should they have waited according to you ?

Ukraine was improving its military during these eight years, and got closer with the e.u. and n.a.t.o., would it really be wise to give them more time to prepare ?

Petro Poroshenko was the worst president that Ukraine ever had(, even worse than Yuschenko), he did everything he could to escalate the situation, except an invasion because Russia was very clear of its reaction : he forbade them to vote, imposed an economic blockade, banned the russian language and russian medias(, as well as old russian books), and i could extend the list if it’s not long enough for you.

Vice did many good videos if you’re interested, even if they were bought back in 2023 by Soros&others.
Worth noting that, in 2022, the inhabitants of the Donbass fought the pro-european ukrainian army from the east, while Russia invaded from Belarus and fought the ukrainians from the west : both were fighting for the Donbass liberation.

If you know what Russia should have done i’m interested.
You probably know that they gave the Donbass and Crimea less than a century ago, and now they took them back according to the will of the local population because Lviv and other pro-european parts of Ukraine decided to work with them against Russia.

Things would have gone differently if Russia’s population wasn’t concentrated on its western side, or if the 2014 western-backed coup had failed. We(sterners) did everything we could to bring Ukraine on our side, partly to improve our power, and partly to contain/weaken the Russian Federation, that still dares to support countries such as Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, North Korea, Yugoslavia, Irak, Syria, Lybia, …, despite the 1991 disaster(, that made Ukraine join those responsible for that disaster).

The Russian Federation will take the part of Ukraine that wanted to join them for decades(, like Transcarpathia voted for autonomy since 1991 but wasn’t ever heard) ; while the European Union will also take the part of Ukraine that wants to join them.

I don’t see that as unjust, but Odessa and Transnistria remain “problems” to be solved, what do they want : autonomy, Europe, Russia ?

Edit : Oh. You didn’t know that Crimea and the Donbass voted for decades to join the Russian Federation ? That’s what happens when you only read western medias.
Now we’ll make a point of refusing Ukraine’s demilitarization, in order to prepare its revenge, because that’s a lot of lost territory and they won’t accept it, it’ll be a permanent risk, a thorn in Russia’s side, we’ll see.
