Act like jerks and lose support - who'd've thought.
The article seems to try to paint the more extreme unionists as the good guys and ignore that they were terrorists too - just not in England.
Pushed for brexit, pushed for a hard border with Eire.
Fuck around and find out.

No one is stopping you from joining a server full of Nazis.
Those openly avocating violence and cruelty towards others who are being neither violent or cruel aren't "just another reasonable point of view that deserves to be heard"

I didn't migrate from reddit in order to give Nazis a platform. If instances don't want to federate with instances that don't police hate speech/ advocating cruelty/violence to people who are different then those instance are well within their rights.

FFS can't they let people live in peace? Did it occur to them that if the answer to "Do my actions make the world a kinder place?" is "no - the opposite" they might need to stop?

If its a serious question thread and I don't feel it has been answered well then I may comment even if it's weeks old.

I'm still not sure where to put myself.
In terms of descriptive ethics, there seems to be a common core that different belief groups agree is bad/undesirable/not admirable, which maybe fits something like 'harmony' or 'empathetic cooperation'.

I'm also not entirely sure Hume's guillotine is all that safe. That's because I'm not sure that there's non normative reason - one can describe our brains as made of 'proto-normative' neurons that fire lots with "good" inputs, and shun "bad" inputs - which in a sense would make all our reasoning a bit normative.

Part of me thinks that we shouldn't need a non moral reason to be moral - if that makes any sense.

Couldn't the answer to "why be moral?' just be "because it's the (morally) right thing to do" - should we expect or need a non moral reason to be moral? So maybe if that's circular, in this one instance i'm not uncomfortable being circular...

So if I understand this right noone's using full QCD calculations 'cause it's too hard.
What kind of size quantum computer would you need to do the full QCD of a helium atom?

It looks to me like it isn't in the list at the federation info maybe that's why?
