idk what this thread is but it seems welcoming to some alright people and unwelcoming to posters I generally dislike so I approve.

I haven't even seen the thread and yet I already know you're a lying shitposter.

this is a social conservative/socialist conservative general thread.

It`s rather about creating cultural and social tools for social engineering.
Nicholas Robinson
Isn't "social engineering towards what values" a bit more important?
Cooper Harris
Values don`t really matter if they are not build form traditions, there is no continuity without preservation of those values and virtues.

I feel like lgbtbbqsjw type 'leftists' and furries (do furries count as lgbt by this point?) want to enforce polyamory and make all males into traps, regardless of whether the males in question want it or not. 'Abolishing the gender binary' IS a codeword for state mandated trapping.
Jason Price
LOL this paranoia
Mason Bennett
Why the fuck would you subscribe to these spooky beliefs?
Evan Rogers
Why should there be continuity? Engineering is all about innovation, why not also social engineering? If a new value is better at achieving the desired goal, the engineer will implement it.
Levi Martin
Yeah? And? What's the problem?
Caleb Bennett
Can we at least get an overview of what you guys believe is right/moral?
1)Their inherit funtionality in benifit for the larger society, for example the relative diffrence between those who have been raised in a traditional family unit versus those raised by the state in orphanages or single parent households when it comes to mental health etc.
2) to create coherent ideological framework form where to advance and to limit expansion of capital to certain areas of society(prostitution,drug trade,immigration[higher birthrates have tendency to lower immigration thus not weakening trade unions]) in addition to crushing social liberals who are no more than tools for capitalist cultural hegemony.
Eli Butler
Those values can not be engineered to society since humans are not robots at least yet. Therefor for any social engineering to succeed we need state apparatus reinforced by moral authorities.
This is dependent on the needs that we see as necessarily to push.
Carter Perez
What are the presently existing needs you are referring to? Just trying to figure out the basis for this.
Carter Kelly
Based mods XD
Asher Powell
see! they even admit it!
Ryder Sanders
First you say you can't engineer the values, then you say we can engineer them via coercive state power. I agree with the second. The question remains, what values to engineer for and why. Either there are "good" ends or values, and then you can engineer society towards those for the greater good, or there aren't' or we can't know them, and then it's either live and let live or a Nietzsche struggle to impose your will on others. You ruled this out in the beginning of the thread. So what should we be enforcing and why? Or how do we begin to discover what to engineer for?
Josiah Kelly
People like you have effectively ruined this board.
Ian Thomas
I approve.

also furries are usually right wing, presumably because they are retarded
