I don't like labeling myself, but if anything, I am generally a positive person. I like thinkers who have intellectual curiosity to seek to understand and engage views that are different from their own. I am interested in cultures outside the Western world. I believe in integration. Is multi-ethnic nationalism oxymoronic? I currently live in England.

I stumbled on this question, today: What if we made it illegal for politicians to tell lies - ...
Naomi comments on Jan 20, 2020:
Fraud is already a criminal offence, yet when it comes to politician deceiving the very people they're supposed to serve, why is it so difficult to prove their lies? I think I'll settle with the following view by someone called Chris. I think he has some good points: *If the law were empowered to say what truth is, the question would be: Who appoints the ministry of truth? And what agenda might they have, and how could we safeguard against the potential for them to put that agenda before their duties? We could end up with a very real ‘political correctness’ problem.* *Today, the problem of politicians lying is that they’ve got their agenda ahead of their duties, and voters/the media don’t make a big deal of it or hold them to account.* *If we had a ministry of truth, the devil would be in the details of how they went about their work, what standards were brought to bear, etc. Also, if (and when) that ministry becomes corrupt, we’d face the nightmare scenario in which reasonable dissent might be sanctioned because its truth didn’t align with the official truth.* *Given that we already understand how good people can end up in their own echo chambers (in which the facts they agree on might be different from the facts other people agree on when other sources of accurate information have lost their moral authority and credibility), the idea of elevating one (without significant checks and balances) seems ripe for abuse.* *The problem we face today (that lying in politics goes unchallenged too much, or where it is challenged, nothing comes of it) is a symptom of lost faith in official information sources. For example, when the current administration tells us that unemployment is down, and political detractors say it’s all lies (and they do so on the radio 12 hours a day, every day), the problem people face isn’t that the information isn’t available- it’s that they don’t have time to filter through all the competing claims.* *It might seem plausible that we might be rid of blatant political lies if it were just illegal to tell political lies- but that would get us a different version of the same problem, with higher stakes- who will watch the watchmen?*

Naomi comments on Jan 27, 2020:
Hello. In a different group, I mentioned the following statement by Reagan (in 1984 to Temple Hillel and Community Leaders in Valley Stream): “We in the United States, above all, must remember that lesson (of the Holocaust), for we were founded as a nation of openness to people of all beliefs,” Reagan said. “And so we must remain. Our very unity has been strengthened by our pluralism. We establish no religion in this country, we command no worship, we mandate no belief, nor will we ever. Church and state are, and must remain, separate. All are free to believe or not believe, all are free to practice a faith or not, and those who believe are free, and should be free, to speak of and act on their belief.” I think this rather sensible pro-liberty perspective could be shared and practised by both the left and the right if they're open-minded enough, but I can't imagine that the extremists on either side(far-left or far-right) agreeing with this. I wonder what pragmatic way BW suggests by which left and right libertarian quadrants can unite so as to fight the authoritarian left and authoritarian right... do you know?

So, when Shapiro is blocked from delivering his speech, that's against freedom of speech, but when Khadr is blocked from speaking, that's OK...? Maybe, Dalhousie University is open-mined enough to invite him to talk about his experience just like the Oxford Union was open-minded enough to invite Tommy Robinson to deliver his speech (TR also has criminal records).

Do you support Project Blitz?
Naomi comments on Feb 27, 2020:
I should've included this link in the original post: https://washingtonmonthly.com/2020/01/24/project-blitz-is-producing-model-legislation-for-christian-nationalists/ *According to an analysis by Americans United for Separation of Church and State, state legislatures considered 74 bills that echoed model legislation from the Project Blitz handbook in 2018.* *The strategy for this effort is built on dividing model legislation into three categories, depending on how much opposition each bill is expected to receive.* *The first category, intended to appear the most innocuous, included bills to promote “In God We Trust” license plates (now offered in at least 20 states) and the display of the “In God We Trust” motto in public schools. (Some version of the display legislation has passed in at least 10 states.) The next batch of bills centered on emphasizing “Christian heritage” and “the importance of the Bible in history” to promote the notion that the U.S. is a Christian nation. The third category, which organizers noted might be “the most hotly contested,” sought to empower licensed professionals to deny health care and other services based on religious beliefs and to enable adoption agencies to reject adoptive families on religious grounds. (At least 10 states have laws that allow discrimination by child welfare agencies, most of which have been passed since Project Blitz launched in 2015.)* *That is a veritable “slippery slope” approach to undermining the separation of church and state.* Is this movement good for the people in the USA as a nation?

Has anybody played around with Mencius Moldbug?
Naomi comments on Mar 19, 2020:
Hello. I found the following description of Moldbug. He sounds like a right-wing extremist...? *An American programmer and blogger. His blog, Unqualified Reservations (2007–13) became the basis of the small but instructive “neoreactionary” movement. With its origins in programmer culture and radical libertarianism, Moldbug’s thought is antiprogressive, antiegalitarian, and antidemocratic. He advocates a monarchic government for an otherwise “open” society. Drawing on Austrian school economics, “elitist” theory, and the reactionary tradition, most prominently Thomas Carlyle, Moldbug argues that progressive elites produce a “universalist” culture to reinforce their power. According to Moldbug, the universalist-democratic regime is inefficient, divorced from reality, and doomed to collapse into chaos. Moldbug and neoreaction were harbingers and archetypes of web-based antiegalitarian movements that mobilized irony and epistemological critiques against the Left. They indicate a growing antidemocratic animus on the American Right, especially among radical libertarians, and the importance of digital activism for right-wing activism in the twenty-first century.*

I recently learned that we have a faith instinct. It's part of human nature. Faith is defined as not only a religious belief but also a strongly held belief or theory, or complete trust and confidence in someone. Faith binds people. The proverb "birds of a feather flock together" doesn't exist for no reason. My faith lies in my family; the people I care about the most, and my home is equivalent to your church.

Not a universal consciousness. Basically it was atheist in literal terms but metaphorically theist. Many of them were very careful to hide that it was metaphorical, for social/political reasons.

Naomi comments on Apr 22, 2020:
"Shut down the entire planet, and people are going to starve to death." "The economy will be completely destroyed." Where do such extreme (and idiotic if I may say so) views come from? I believe that in the US, people are still allowed to go out during the lockdown, to do exercises, grocery shopping, etc., aren't they? You're also allowed to go to work if you're a key worker and can't work from home, aren't you? People in quarantine can still have grocery delivered to their doors and businesses can still be operated via the Internet using communication tools and apps. We have similar conditions in the UK. It's not like we've been put under house arrest or all businesses have been shut down forever. The UK government is providing financial support for employers who can't run businesses as usual and their employees. I assume that the the US government is also taking similar measures. Moreover, the UK government is shifting the lockdown very gradually and very cautiously. So, people are NOT going to die of starvation and the economy is NOT going to be destroyed completely. I dislike fear mongering. Many people also do this in the UK. I hate it, I really do.

Naomi comments on May 18, 2020:
I think I'm right in saying that British society is pretty much secular as a whole. When it comes to any formality, it is still attached to Christian tradition (e.g., it is still the biblical tradition to take an oath in the Parliament), but I hardly hear any politician say "God bless England" or "Long live the king/queen" on a regular basis. I have many religious friends and neighbours and they know that I don't believe in their god/gods, but we get on with each other just fine. The key to a good theist/atheist relationship seems to be that religious/nonreligious belief is a personal thing and it is not to be imposed on others.
I realise that there are many variations of anarchism. 1. What is your definition of anarchism?
Naomi comments on May 20, 2020:
1. If anarchism is defined as a "belief in the abolition of all government and the organization of society on a voluntary, cooperative basis without recourse to force or compulsion", I have a problem with that. In my opinion, humans cannot not have hierarchy. Society is a huge group of people which consists of many small groups of people. We bind and form ourselves by sharing the same beliefs, ideas, etc., because we are social animals. The proverb "birds of a feather flock together" comes to mind. And where there is a group of people, a leader-follower relationship will inevitably be established sooner or later. The strong lead the weak. It's part of human nature. 2. During the French Revolution the leader of the moderate Girondin faction of Parliament, Jacques-Pierre Brissot, accused his most extreme rivals, the Enragés, of being the advocates of “anarchy”: *Laws that are not carried into effect, authorities without force and despised, crime unpunished, property attacked, the safety of the individual violated, the morality of the people corrupted, no constitution, no government, no justice, these are the features of anarchy.* - Wikipedia 3. So, based on 1 and 2, I don't think an anarchist society can function well.

Hello. What's the context? If the regular customers of the restaurant and the locals who live in the area where the restaurant is are crowdfunding it, it's understandable, no?
What could go wrong with Trump declaring ANTIFA a terrorist organization?
Naomi comments on Jun 1, 2020:
Are there any other groups like ANTIFA in America? If they match the definition of "domestic terrorist organisation" according to the USA PATRIOT Act, they should also be designated as domestic terrorist organisations.
She's right, no?
Naomi comments on Jun 2, 2020:
We can all be genuinely ignorant about something - maybe "willful ignorance" is the problem.

Hello. I've read some of your posts. Are you a misogynist? If you are , that's OK. Different people hate different kinds of things, including certain kinds of people. I was just curious, if that's OK.
So, I was wondering (questioning the norm again).
Naomi comments on Jun 8, 2020:
I don't know about your country, but in the UK, there is such thing as private police. Private police services are contracted out and paid by local authorities. There is a security firm called Parkguard. It describes itself as part of the “extended policing family” and a “service provider to Local Authorities and the Police” and says its “primary role is to fill gaps within current public service provision.” Stretched budgets and a falling number of police officers means forces have struggled to keep a visible presence on the streets in recent years. Senior officers admit that they don't have time to deal with less serious crimes. Hence contracting out services, such as patrolling, searching, ticketing, etc., to a private firm, costing the authorities millions of pounds. The authorities are facing questions on why so much money is going to a private company rather than into police forces to fund more officers. Some are in favour of hiring private police: Parkguard have a close working relationship with the emergency services and are able to make use of additional powers given to them by the Metropolitan Police. This gives them greater scope to tackle antisocial behaviour and the type of offending that would otherwise cause disruption for residents. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/01/05/councils-paying-private-police-force-millions-pounds-year/

Hello. Is it right that the use of tear gas is illegal in America?

Naomi comments on Jun 14, 2020:
Every time an articulate black person like him states legitimate facts and statistics, and does not spout racist and inflammatory remarks, he is labeled as a traitor by his own people and by those with white guilt. Perhaps, people like him (regardless of the colour of skin) are too smart, make too much sense to be taken seriously by those who should. I also came across social workers and doctors who say that they come across plenty of super poor white people who can’t get jobs because the incentive programs for companies are built for minorities. The identitarian mindset seems toxic.
In an era of inclusively, is it time for the Pride parade to ALSO celebrate heterosexuality?

Why do Hollywood villains love classical music?
Naomi comments on Jun 16, 2020:
Hello. I can't see the connection between bad guys and fondness for classical music... :( Also, is there any evidence that globalists are trying to "demonise" western culture? Maybe you're overthinking or overspeculating?
