> Eichmann was directly involved in shipping tens or hundreds of thousands of Jewish people to Auschwitz. I'm not sure what's not Nazi or genocidal about that.

He would have shipped tens of hundreds of refugees out of Germany if he had happened to be a bureaucrat for the allies and if that had been his job. But where did I say that's not genocidal or Nazi? I said that's not the point of why Fromm is making the comparison - lack of empathy is. He doesn't mean if we don't loose our appetite when others starve, we grow round glasses and and clothes from the 40s, and many other things. He doesn't mean we will start putting people in box cars. To ridicule my supposed lack of reading comprehension considering this whole string of completely useless attacks on strawmen, is kinda rich.

I don't know if you clicked the link, but he goes on to say:

I don't think, that if we are really in touch with the inner reality of ourselves, that there is any crime, or perhaps any virtue, which we cannot discover in ourselves. We shut ourselves [off] from the awareness of our inner reality, we project the evil to our opponents and enemies, and believe that the good is in ourselves; indidivually, nationally, and group-wise in general.

Your reaction that Eichmann is completely beyond the pale of any comparison is kinda fitting.

> It's not a simple matter of degree. The first is a demand that someone show empathy in a specific way, which may or may not hold for all people. The second is one of the worst crimes against humanity we can think of.

The second is also "not showing empathy in a specific way". And no, I do not want to play games.

> There is a difference in nature, motivation and scale here, not simply scale.

I acknowledged that before. But that doesn't change the fact that it consists of many aspects, one of them lack of empathy.
So population on the grid does not fall.

It does in the point I was actually answering to though.

I was answering the question; "I like option 3. Why is it a bad outcome for the average electricity user?", where option 3 is "Solar people buy batteries and don't return power to the grid."

You are basically saying you think there is a low likelyhood of the topic of the question someone else asked becoming reality. But I didn't propose how likely it was one way or another, I was just answering the question that they asked about the downsides.
Wow, I guess you just proved all those people saying they couldn't get such papers accepted are clearly lying because you've never had a problem.

The fact that they are so easily manipulated is the reason they are most often not accepted as proof of identification, regardless of criminal law. It could be totally legal and it would be in the best interests of banks/businesses to not accept them due to possible liabilities.
If you're a bank, your services will be used to launder money. It's guaranteed to happen. All you can do is implement controls to keep that activity below a certain threshold. And banks reasonably want to implement as few controls as they can get away with while complying with the law, because it costs them money to do so. Failure to implement sufficient controls for compliance is not tantamount to an intent to assist money laundering.

There's absolutely no parallel here to the situation of ordinary people. If you see that Joe Schmoe's bank account was used to launder money from a drug cartel, you can very reasonably infer that he intended to assist that cartel. There's no reasonable explanation that involves trying to save money or hassle on regulatory compliance issues. Those sorts of transactions don't just accidentally or incidentally happen to ordinary people.
Modern feminists also pushed for the FBI definition of rape which is forced penetration but construed in such a way that it really only covers insertion of a penis. They also pushed for useless laws like rape shields which prevents the accused from addressing their accuser in the press while allowing the accusers to speak freely. They also pushed the "Dear Colleague" letter that's lowered the standard to preponderance in disciplinary hearings that strongly favors female accusers.

The modern definition of rape is no longer the one espoused by second wave feminists, which I happen to agree with. Rape shouldn't be a gendered crime, but thirdwave and radical feminists don't seem to think so.

I am not sure about Canada, but in most of Europe not the company but the state (= tax payer) pays for the cost of the maternity leave.
"In the USA, we are skeptical of the benefits of the government making it a law to do mothering the way the government wants you to."

What an ignorant statement. Maternity and paternity leave are about requiring employers to allow you early bonding time with your children, not about the nanny state judging how you parent.

CoffeeStrap HN
Your wrong on how maternity leaves work, at least in Canada. Employers do not pay for the maternity, they just can't fire you (& you don't have to take the leave, lol like they force you to do that...)

It's the society (government) that pays for leaves. In canada it looks like this:
the parental benefit is 7 weeks at 70%, followed by 25 weeks at 55% from salary on a maximum of 50-60k salary

For me what you say is backwards, but I guess you are right, there is clearly no gain in life for a mother to take the time she need to adapt & connect with her children for a year.

Then again it is the poors that suffer that cannot in anyway take some time off from work. Or maybe it is the argument that you should not pay for others.

I guess you can keep being skeptical
"If we want people off the harder drugs"

If we want that. That is not really the goal. The goals of drug prohibition today are:

1. Creating favorable markets for the pharmaceutical industry

2. Expanding the size and power of the police

3. Artificially inflating the market for paramilitary police gear

4. Protecting the market for alcohol and tobacco

5. Attacking certain minority groups

6. Expanding the prison industry's profits

No amount of logic or reasoned argument can override the amounts of money and political pressure at work here.

Which is equally true of a system like the US government, or most modern democracies, where the judiciary is separate from the legislature.

The government isn't one guy, it isn't even a small group. It's thousands of people, at minimum, just to run things at the top. When the US government goes to court, it can't just get the rules changed on a whim. It can't even necessarily afford the best lawyers in the field it may be going into.

Chinese-patronized opium dens were banned. Tincture of laudanum (opium rum) was still available at every drug store.

The history of drug prohibition is a process of cracking down on one minority group after another in order to get votes. Opium: chinks. Marijuana: niggers. LSD: smelly hippy sluts. Methamphetamine: poor white trash/wiggers. Visible booze bottles: bums.

> Rape shouldn't be a gendered crime,

Rape perpetrators are overwhelmingly male. You do realise that, right? Because without at least an acknowledgement that that vast majority of rape is carried out by men there's no point engaging with you.

> particularly by so convincing the US judicial system that only women can care for children that it takes extraordinary circumstances for a father to get custody.

The "extraordinary circumstances" that it takes for a father to get custody is to ask -- in the vast majority of cases where the father contests custody, he wins. While I don't think "the patriarchy" is the best construct (for reasons I discuss later) for explaining the world, the truth is that men don't end up with custody in the vast majority of cases because they are socialized not to seek it, and that socialization isn't a product of opposition -- by feminists or anyone else -- to traditional gender roles as binding archetypes.

> There's no such thing as the patriarchy in modern culture.

While "the patriarchy" is a not-unreasonable name for how the system of established social structures (yes, now, as well, though even moreso at the dawn of feminism) appears
to someone who is both female and has a self-image that conflicts with its gender-based norms, its a problematic name in that it fails to recognize two key factors about the system: (1) that men are also bound by it, and (2) that, despite role differences, women also exercise power within it and are no less likely to be psychically invested in preserving it.

That being said, however much "the patriarchy" isn't a great name for what feminists use it to describe, what is described with that term is very real.

Much like college tuition increases, a government tax break merely means the suppliers will all increase prices to adsorb the new supply of money. Its basic supply and demand, you have a supply of more money, so we'll demand it. A govt tax break has no impact on the standard of living of the population, its a give away for the industry it applies to.

Also DCRA is a complicated tax mess where its incompatible with some other social engineering child tax credit scheme, causing all manner of annoyance and confusion. That's all I remember of that detail, at least 5 to 10 years ago at the fed level you could put pre-tax income into a DCRA OR not pay income tax on some small subset of childcare expenses but obviously you couldn't double dip and apply both credits to untax your untaxed income although the paperwork made it easy enough to accidentally try.

I was actually at my 3rd bank trying to open an account, but without any other documentation than my passport & visa. I think it was Halifax. The guy I was speaking went in back for a bit, and per usual said "I'm sorry but without proof of address we can't open an account for you." When I started lamenting my sense of defeat to him about UK banks, he said "okay look, I'm not supposed to say this, but off the record, if you go down the street to Lloyds, they have a special process for US citizens where you can just open an account with a passport." Sure enough I went down the road, and after making yet another appointment (an appointment to open a bank account? really Britain…), they confirmed that indeed they do open accounts for US citizens with just a passport.

So I feel pretty confident in recommending Lloyds in this case.

I think I should make some writeup for responses to MRAs, because I think I understand the worldview and bought into it myself for a long time. Of course the response might not be perfect this time around, but I can perfect it incrementally.

The first thing that is crucial to understand is that feminism itself is not the enemy. In fact, intelligent feminists should care about the problems you list. I'm not saying they do, but they should, because feminism isn't anti-men, it's anti gender roles. This means that problems like men being pressured to bury their emotions, or men not getting proper mental health care, or men not getting fair custody, or men not being taken seriously when they are raped, are all things that feminism is supposed to be fighting against. The fact that our society often ignores these problems is not because of feminism, it's because of sexism. Feminists often do ignore problems like this with men, and those feminists are either ignorant or bigoted, because sexist oppression caused by society to men, and sexist oppression caused by society to women, have the same root and are part of the same problem that feminism is trying to fix. This is not a fringe view of feminism. This is the normal view.

The second thing that is crucial to understand is that the caricature of sexist tumblr-warrior "feminists" (that do indeed exist) are a distraction. The fact that people like this are taken seriously probably bothers me as much as it bothers you. However, these people are misrepresenting feminism. They do not say what feminism is supposed to represent. You can think of them as the crazy bigoted Christians or Muslims that are technically part of the same group, but do not represent the whole.

Finally, you have to realize that gender roles and sexism are oppressing men and women. I think the reason so many feminists react badly to men's rights advocates is because they marginalize women's problems while promoting men's. In truth I think this is just a reaction from seeing feminist groups do the reverse. Really, both are a problem. Just because one is a problem doesn't make another problem any more or less important. So instead of saying "This is ridiculous to be worrying about when much worse is happening to men and nobody cares," try saying, "This is an important problem," and separately, "These other things are happening to men and nobody cares."
I don't understand the point you are trying to make.

The document outlines a pattern of decisions by high level HSBC executives -- ranging from individual transgressions such as simply falsifying or sanitizing otherwise illegal transactions, to more long-term choices, such as ignoring basically everyone else in the industry as you mentioned earlier, and systematically under-resourcing compliance departments -- that led the bank to appear to comply with AML laws and regulations when in reality it was flagrantly violating them.

In fact, it is a crime to fail maintain an effective AML program if you are a bank, and HSBC does not dispute that they committed this crime.

From the document, page 3:

7. The Department alleges, and HSBC Bank USA admits, that HSBC Bank USA’s conduct, as described herein, violated the BSA. Specifically, HSBC Bank USA violated Title 31, United States Code, Section 5318(h)(1), which makes it a crime to willfully fail to establish and maintain an effective AML program, and Title 31, United States Code, Section 5318(i)(1), which makes it a crime to willfully fail to establish due diligence for foreign correspondent accounts.
I'm not a parent. But goddamn if I don't want parents to give their children the best possible early childhood that is available. If that costs me 30% of my salary, so that our society is healthy, educated, safe, well-balanced I'll pay it. Anyone who can't see that without an excellent early childhood plan in place our society is doomed is living with their head in the sand. I don't understand the vitriol on this website for parents and that legislating so that they have a chance is somehow socialist evil.

I don't think it takes a complex morality to figure out that animals shouldn't be subjected to concentration camp-like conditions. Eating meat is natural and will never stop, unless resources are so scarce that it has to, but that doesn't mean that meat has to be cultivated with careless cruelty, which is more or less what's currently going on. And yes, we are a cosmic blip destined to become extinct, but that doesn't morally absolve us from trying to minimize suffering through reasonable measures.

> Why is it considered a good thing when the government foists responsibility for the social safety net off on people's employers?

Countries that mandate paid maternity leave often don't; the pay often comes from public funds, the mandate on the employer is, in that case, not to provide the social safety net but to not punish the employee for using it.

Ahh, but don't stop there. Make such though experiments with humans (Would you sacrifice one 80 year old to save two 40 year olds? Would you sacrifice 3 illiterate children to save one wunderkind? Is a person you know worth 1.3 or rather 2.7 people you don't know?) quickly shows that those are equally absurd, so the absurdity in one case proves nothing.
