Depends on yer epistemology dunnit.
If you have to inspect the minutiae to gauge your decision making process then it can be.
Seems not everybody has the time to do so.
Which may be political in itself consciously or unconsciously.
I am reminded of the idea of the deal breaker point that kept coming up with t and the GOP over the last couple of years. Like what exploitation does the process of production entail. & how much are you willing to accept to make your personal existence that much easier.
Or the Naked Lunch where if everyone suddenly became aware of what was on their fork and what processes it had gone through to get there how many people would stop eating.

i would avoid the impulse to start galaxy-brain threads in the future pom, just some advice from a guy who appreciates you when you're talking about something as opposed to nothing

― satanist of size (map), Thursday, 21 January 2021 01:36 (five years ago)

What can I say, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Maybe you had to be there.

This thread is a troll btw, in case anyone was wondering.

― pomenitul, Thursday, 21 January 2021 01:43 (five years ago)

The correct answer, however, is no.

Which is why we need an I Love Politics board that is separate from I Love Everything.

Thank you.

Oh shit im glad i didnt post my long screed so

― Qanondorf (darraghmac), Thursday, 21 January 2021 01:49 (five years ago)

You're presuming intention matters. Did we ever sort that one out?

""trolling""- has the meaning changed?

― pomenitul, Thursday, 21 January 2021 01:52 (five years ago)

Intent matters, i never needed it sorted but was """"only asking the question""""

By that logic we need a set of 'I Love X' boards to match every sub-category of 'Everything'.

Correct. Ideally, every thread ought to be a board unto itself.

Of course I have to mention Nashville here.

Definition 1: x is politics-like if and only if x has as essential properties those and only those properties which are positive

Definition 2: A is an essence of x if and only if for every property B, x has B necessarily if and only if A entails B

Definition 3: x necessarily exists if and only if every essence of x is necessarily exemplified

Axiom 1: If a property is positive, then its negation is not positive

Axiom 2: Any property entailed by—i.e., strictly implied by—a positive property is positive

Axiom 3: The property of being politics-like is positive

Axiom 4: If a property is positive, then it is necessarily positive

Axiom 5: Necessary existence is positive

Axiom 6: For any property P, if P is positive, then being necessarily P is positive

Theorem 1: If a property is positive, then it is consistent, i.e., possibly exemplified

Corollary 1: The property of being politics-like is consistent

Theorem 2: If something is politics-like, then the property of being politics-like is an essence of that thing

Theorem 3: Necessarily, the property of being politics-like is exemplified

pom you can spoof the Tractatus as much as you like but I'm not having it, everything (where everything is a subset of events that at least includes all actions and speech acts and definitely shitposting is very much an action) is political as fuck and

ESPECIALLY

everybody's dodgy fretting about the 18th century invention taste, shibboleth for the bourgie hate class

is political as fuck.

Still love you tho
