  • Once this has been implemented, something worse can be implemented.

    I don’t like these slippery slope arguments. You might as well reduce it to any legislation.
    Once people are allowed to make laws, bad people can make bad laws.
    Which is why we must continue to vote in the right people, not abandon the concept of laws.

    In this case, I don’t doubt that copyright infringement and general censorship are on some people’s agenda.
    But this current proposal is bad enough itself and should be opposed because of that and not because someone might make other, even worse proposals in the future.

    You can be a trained retail worker in a few hours in most cases.

    So the job doesn’t require any skill but still needs training?
    And all retail workers are equally good, there is no skill difference that makes some better at the job than others?

    Communism is a society without social classes, money, or a state.
    Feel free to name one so-called communist country that implemented that.

    The eastern block was as communist as North Korea is democratic.
    They did however socialize ownership of factories etc, so they did have an authoritarian form of socialism.

    Is there a difference between 19, 20, and 21 Celsius?

    First off, nobody claimed that Celsius is based on human perception so humans not being able to differentiate between these is simply irrelevant to the argument.
    Second, the bounds of 0 and 100 are based on the freezing temp of water which are specific, non-arbitrary temperatures.

    I’m not arguing one system over the other, I just think the “human scale” argument has been made up just to have an argument.
