I think “conformity to norms” is a little different from “make rules that you apply equally to yourself and to others,” but I will leave you with your thoughts, so long as they do not impugn the sacred honor of Model United Nations (or, for that matter, even if it does…)

“You have to make America strong to take care of you.” Also, you are all a bunch of parasites and if Putin attacks you, well say ‘go ahead,’ says Trump and Vance, and Hegseth.
Oh, and you must pay 1billion dollars to join my “Board of Peace” club, which I will deposit wherever to do whatever. 🫩

Incidentally, in passing, Hillel did a nice job of distilling Kant millennia before Kant. (We should act only in accordance with rules we would want to be universal laws for ourselves and others, never merely as a means to an end, but always as an end in itself.) Ethical absolutism? 🤔

Don’t like Kant? Then try this: “that which is hateful to you, do not do to others.”
That is not smugness. That is morality. If there were more morality and empathy, instead of tribalism, people like Trump and Miller would be irrelevant to political discussion.

Also, don’t you need to have, you know, what do they call those thingies, um, um, like, actual, logical debate points?

Hey, hey! we Model UN people believe in, you know, the *actual* United Nations, and Immanuel Kant’s Categorical Imperative and “Toward Perpetual Peace,” and maybe even actually read Thucydides instead of quote him out of context. Miller’s not our fault! 😿

Umm. Do you know what, precisely, was meant by first world, second world, and 3rd World? 1st world were developed capitalist countries, including Turkey, Japan, South Korea. That was the “free world,” aligned with NATO.
Nonaligned developing countries (such as India) didn’t view US as evil.

The man convicted of beating up police officers with a baseball bat cries “foul”….

Yeah, vote for Trump or Vance. That will prove your commitment. Congratulations.
