but on the real, folks, denying the existence of free will is one of the first steps of fascism, it's a political question, free will, more than anything, and fascists love to attack the idea that we can make choices. I'm just coyly pointing out if we don't have free will then all morality is immediately thrown out the window, big win for fascists then

philosopher: see? This proves we don't have free will!

me: *kicks him in the nads* "Then I'm absolved of these crimes against your future children, as alas, I have no free will!" *repeatedly kicks him in the balls as he runs away*

#and we gravitate back to punch a fascist being morally good #or kick a fascist in the balls yeah same thing good idea #how to spot a fascist- they tell you free will doesn't exist #if free will doesn't exist then every criminal is just as good as every saint and the devil is just as moral as god #all spirituality would evaporate and we'd just be living in some kind of inert time crystal pendulum #nah i like me a universe where things that should matter do matter not like that nihilist determinist bulldropping loved by Plato fans #Pythagoras was the OG existentialist-communist and Plato was the OG determinist-fascist #pick your side #this conversation is much older than Marx who was not a bright bulb #the thread of Christian Communism is lonely and unpulled by Marxyboy #we needed a man but we got marxyboy
