The framing is different but it’s literally the same thing. The state takes less from me now due to my decision to procreate, and the slice non-parents give to the state isn’t fixed, but is made larger on net by the decision to give more money to parents.

“Give parents free money for having kids. No, more, more than that you miser. Who are you, Scrooge?” is the default here, so if people react negatively to that, maybe it’s a skill issue and the framing needs some work?

On the one hand, people react very negatively to any sort of talk about taxing non-parents more, but on the other, giving parents of minor children free money, and more free money for having more kids, at the expense of non-parents is like the most popular policy on here, so?

Socially deviant behavior signals different things than socially acceptable behavior, because things exist in context.

Huh, I wonder if a seven year old taking off Barbie’s head or seeing what happens if it’s put on the stove is the same thing as a 15 year old playing Vlad the Impaler and dedicating a corner of their room to it?

What if competitive primaries are good, especially when there’s an outsider candidate who is untested in the actual electoral world?

All Hallow’s Steve @lessdismalsci.bsky.social · 21h

No one thinks Barbie dolls deserve special pseudo-moral status, but if a teenager regularly mutilates them, leave them impaled on stakes with fake blood, etc. I’m pretty comfortable drawing inferences about their moral status and behavior towards actual people.

“If these FAKE representatives dare to step foot in my District of Columbia to try and STEAL their seats they will be arrested immediately” is not exactly an unthinkable outcome in December of 26.

We got too caught up in critiquing the failures and pointing out the wrinkles in liberal pluralism that we forgot to keep watering the plant we were pruning.

I will never cease to be amused that so many people missed that that Herbert had Paul turn to the camera and say “I, Paul Maud’dib, am literally worse than Hitler” in Dune Messiah.

Ok, but the very convincing arguments against stealth in space are all based on the energy signature of engines. An asteroid, painted black, doesn’t have the emissions that would be detected like a space shuttle’s thrusters, presumably it gets set on a ballistic trajectory.
