"Value pluralism".

Yeah, but your problem there is that trump has no values other than "tell me I'm great and get me more money", and his supporters have no values other than "fuck people that were born with darker skin than me".

You can't rescue democracy by trying to big tent with these haters.

"My fellow Reform members and I believe that our young people should be protected from exposure to potentially harmful ideologies"

The whole f*ing Reform platform is a toxic and actively harmful ideology. Projection as usual from the far right.

If there's one thing Trump has taught us, it's that you don't need to be competent or have even an ounce of intelligence to bring about the nightmare fascist takeover of your country.

Britain stood firm against the far right in the war.

Will we stand against Reform now?

Take my angry upvote and get out.

Pay the milkman on time. My great uncle was an old fashioned milkman and he said the poorest houses always had the money ready to pay him when he showed up and it was the big houses in the posh streets that often had excuses instead of cash and lied about not paying last time etc.

America fought for independence from Britain because the wealth of the nation was being sucked away and spent for the whims of a handful of wealthy people, and because the people were powerless to chose who the government was. If you factor in the insane number of insanely Gerrymandered districts and significant quantities of votes going through Musk's servers with no external scrutiny, a broken electoral college and a supreme court intent on deleting the constitution starting with section 3 of the 14th amendment (and now moving on to the rest of it), removing religious freedom, I see everything that the founding fathers fought for and everything that the civil war was fought for being stamped on by one deluded racist moron and his crazy sycophants and enablers. It was never really freedom from slavery anyway when you have such vast numbers of black men working for no wage in profiteering private prisons for decades just for smoking some pot or stealing some groceries while rich men who do drugs or steal tens of thousands get a slap on the wrist.

....wade in and look you in the eye and say "This. Feels. Right."....

Superb, absolutely superb.

Thank you. This made me laugh.

Thanks dude, glad someone appreciates it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to summarise and explain all this. I have really enjoyed having a little window into your remarkable world.

Thank you, that was very interesting. I was surprised at the definition of the basic open sets because they felt quite closed to my intuition, so the topology feels discrete to me. It's definitely Hausdorff, I guess, but that's no big deal. I'm guessing if you're saying it uses a lot of the axioms, it uses the axiom of choice. It feels like that kind of arena, but I'm no set theorist. Having been taught by ring theorists, I always found the axiom of choice no big deal and totally uncontroversial, but I'm aware of the existence of mathematicians who feel otherwise, intuitionists (confusing name) and constructivists and the like. Do set theorists have a lot of debate about axioms, is it largely led by consensus, or deeply controversial, or just a case of making clear which you're using and no one gets excited about it?

I criticised your offensive behaviour and that's automatically ad hominem in your view? I think we disagree about what that word means, or you know full well and are still trolling. Why are you so intent to upset trans folks in this thread? Do you not feel they get enough hate already?
