Is Mao Zedong one of the most influential figures in modern warfare? He basically codified the guerilla war as we know it today. And using his theories, the Viet-Cong were able to beat the Americans and the Taliban where able to beat the soviets.

Do I have to read it like anime, a comic or should the whole image be viewed as one?

I've been bothered for a little while now by the slipper slope fallacy, and I think this is the closest board to being able to discuss it.

I can't think of many examples where it hasn't came true. Getting rid of anti-sodomy laws made it much easier to allow gay marriage, for instance. The 13th amendment to the US Constitution was clearly a "slippery slope" for the 14th and 15th amendments. Someone who intended to never let women vote would be very justified in opposing the 15th, as it establishes the direction the legislation is heading. Women's suffrage is a logical outcome of suffrage for non-whites, so it makes sense to oppose suffrage of non-whites.

Is there something I'm missing with this argument?

prople that wanted equality in the old days were called radical for a reason, and it's really just because since fascism died, universities have been filled with left wing lecturers
>>
>>925078
The issue isn't really left or right, it's more about whether it should be a fallacy or not.
>>
>>925019
Its an informal fallacy. it is not a fallacy if you use it in a very nuanced way
It works like this. saying sodomy is bad could lead to gay marriage which is bad is a mistake, because it artificially conflates the two positions. Just because you dont care if gays have sex does not mean you support gay marriage. Unless you can show that one directly leads to the other, its a fallacy

Every action we do, is for the purpose of avoiding suffering.

Think to yourself, why do I make any action at all? Why don't I just lie on the ground right now and never make an action again?

And the answer is because you will suffer, and you will pretty quickly die from either exposure to the elements, or thirst. And this is not some far off hypothetical problem in the minds of some ivory tower philosopher. No this is literally right now if you do not find protection and fresh water, you will die an agonizing death within 3 days. 72 hours.

I've really only come to accept this concept (that everything we do is to hold off suffering) in the past few days and honestly it's really shocking me. The world really is fucking horrible. Everything is suffering greatly, all the animals, all the children and babies and people.

If you look around at the nearest person, like I am now, it's all to avoid suffering. So I'm in a library I'm looking at this woman. I ask myself, why is she doing the things shes doing? She's wearing clothes. Why? Because if she didn't, she'd be extremely cold when she left the building, she might get raped, or the police would arrest her, and everyone would look on her, the snow might kill from hypothermia. She's wearing makeup? why? because she feels lonely and wants a man, or maybe she feels like an outsider without it, or she feels ugly and is hiding her face, or the other women might think bad of her. could be many reasons, but the point I'm making is all of those possible reasons are fundamentally to do with avoiding some sort of suffering.

Now she's eating an apple. Where did she get it? Probably from a supermarket. Why did she buy it? because if she doesn't eat, she will feel a pain in her abdomen, and that pain will only grow worse and worse, she will feel weak, start losing weight she will be in grave suffering and if she really doesn't eat anymore she will die in around 20 days, an agonizing death.

What is she doing? She looks like she's studying. Why? Does she do it just because she enjoys it more than just laying on the floor making no action? I don't think so. Laying on the floor isn't fun, so she must do actions which don't feel as bad. But she doesn't look like she's enjoying herself studying. Why is she doing it? Because if she doesn't study, then she wont pass her course exam, and if she doesn't pass that, she will have to drop out, and then she will have no money ebcause she can't get a job to sell her labour for. And without money she can't buy food clothes and water from the supermarket, and without those she will die an agonizing death.

Life really has no positive value. If it did have value, then making no action would still feel pleasurable. But it doesn't.If you don't believe me why don't just lie down right now where you are and don't move at all. Pretty soon you will start feeling aching muscles, or you'll get thirsty or hungry, or you'll start feeling bored and non stimulated. And if you don't do anything and continue laying there, your suffering will only increase and increase and increase, and again this isn't some hypothetical thing, this is what will literally happen, your body will start getting extremely dehydrated your lips and mouth will crack you'll be in a horrible delrious state and eventualy lapse into unconsciousness and die.

That just shows me how bad life is. That you can't even just exist without very quickly (within 72 freaking hours - not long) dying. And long before that you will start feeling extreme amounts of suffering. Almost from the moment you stop making any actions, you will suffering. Aches or uncomfortableness, or anxiety or boredom, and then hunger and thirst and exposure to the elements and then coma and death
>>
>>924613

life is very bad. I have proven this by showing that just life by itself has no value. if you don't believe me then stop making any action, and see for yourself the value of just existing. you will soon suffer and that will only get worse until you die.

People say "the good outweighs the bad". and my response is "what good"?

What is good in this life? All we do is struggle to hold off all manner of suffering. And for what? Only for one day our body will fail us and the suffering will attack and swarm our body until we die.

What is enjoyable in this life? Watching movies and listening to music, are they reall enjoyable? I propose that what they actually do is take your awareness away from yourself existing in this world. You watch a movie and your mind is taken away into what's being presented.

Is that really pleasure?

It's like an orgasm as well. Does it really feel good? Or does it take your mind off your existence, so for a few seconds at most you are unaware of being a body in the world, and only just feel the pure sensation, and then you come back to the cold hard reality.

that's not true pleasure. That I would call escapism. it only feels good because it's a relief

if life was so great we'd hate to sleep. every night we'd lament having to sleep because we'd miss out on being awake. But hardly anyone hates sleep. What is sleep really? It's where you lie down and make no action at all. And you stop experiencing life.

We say "good nights sleep". But that just shows that life is not good. If life was good we'd hate sleep, we'd curse every night that we have to be deprived of existence. But we don't. We like making no action and then going unconscious. We dread having to wake up and get out of bed the next morning.

Think about it, when you wake up are you so happy to be alive? Or do you just tiredly get out of bed, eat some breakfast have some coffee, bush your teeth have a shower and then go to freaking work.

life really is awful
