@hachi @ArdainianRight @ChristiJunior @Nelenese Why do you always have to chime in when I'm in a serious debate, especially when people are starting to think that I'm you for whatever reason?
@ArdainianRight @OldM8 @TheMadPirate @Arkana I can't speak for OldM8, but I do. But I don't like the whole "family honor" thing that a lot of eastern cultures have. I'm not morally obligated to do the same job that my parents did.
@ArdainianRight @ChristiJunior That was under feudalism with STATE ENFORCED hierarchies.
@Arkana @OldM8 @ArdainianRight @TheMadPirate How genetically far apart do two people have to be to be considered separate races? This is a serious question that needs to be answered.
I'm probably the most open-minded and free-thinking person you'll ever meet. I'm open to anything no matter how "politically incorrect" it is. But I have yet to hear any "race-realist" answer this question.
@ArdainianRight @ChristiJunior In those cases (which should be extreme and unlikely), yes go steal food. The NAP isn't perfect, but I do think it is a general framework that people should follow.
Personally, if I see my neighbor starving, then I will be happy to give them food.
@Arkana @ArdainianRight @TheMadPirate True. And it's within my own interest not to be disowned by my family because they will support me if I support them.
But I have no obligation for my nation. Which is why I refused to serve in the military.
@ChristiJunior @ArdainianRight To deny natural law is to be logically contradictory.
@ArdainianRight @OldM8 @TheMadPirate @Arkana OldM8 is an egoist. He has no obligations to anything. He's more individualist than a libertarian.
@TheMadPirate @ArdainianRight @Arkana It's still arbitrary. Like I said previously, there are multiple native ethnicities in Japan. They can identify as one of those instead of identifying as "Japanese". How genetically far apart does someone have to be for them to be considered an outsider? How culturally different do they have to be to be considered an outsider?
Finally, @nice-fash posts something based.
@TheMadPirate @ArdainianRight @Arkana You can do all of that via voluntary association. No statism required.
@TheMadPirate @ArdainianRight It's not a culture. It's just the logical conclusion that aggression is unjustified outside of self defense, and logic is ALWAYS objective.

@ArdainianRight Japan has multiple native ethnic groups: Ainu, Ōbeikei, Yamato, and Ryukyuans. Each one of them can theoretically call themselves a "nation". Culture is nothing more than a lifestyle, and I don't know why language is something to be proud of.
@echo @ArdainianRight Property does have an objective basis in reality. It can be explained using logic. Doing labor on unclaimed property automatically makes it yours. This can all be explained objectively.
Nations on the other hand, exist because someone claimed that they exist. This is why we have border disputes and unrecognized nations.
@ArdainianRight It's true though. Why do nations have border disputes? Why are some nations recognized while others aren't or are partially recognized? They have no objective basis in reality.
@ArdainianRight Nations only exist in your head and nationalism vs globalism is a false dichotomy.
