Is Voat a fed nest?
Very possibly. Particularly in the system subs where brigading is possible. But this sub is an oasis from it. Their downvotes will have no effect on your CCP here.
We reserve the right to ban anyone we deem to be disruptive without notice.
If you are observed calling another poster Jewish on Voat you will be banned in this sub.

To be honest, I find both the relativism of the likes of Stephen Jay Gould, and such religion-inspired reactions offensive.
I do indeed think that Man is the measurement of all things - not "man" as the summum of egality, but "Man": the platonic ideal representation. Nietzsche's Uebermensch if you will. We don't need any holy Hebrew textbooks (i.e. the Old Testament and New Testament) to legimitate this ideal.
Biology itself gives us enough reason. Of course species of bacteria could outlive us if we decide to not interfer. That is precisely why we should! And the same is true for things like genetic modification, designer babies and eugenics. Bring it on!
Of course, I realize that this might all be offensive to conservatives, and that there already is a subsantial body of religion-inspired writings that might pose as an ideological counterstrike on the 'cultural marxists' - but who actually still believes in the stories of the Bible in more than an allegoric way?? Imho, the christian faith did not start to weaken because of cultural marxists or queer activists or even muslims - but because of great European scientists like Galileo, Copernicus and Darwin. Denying these people's achievements is like cutting off the avant-garde of our civilization.

Oddly enough, I think Nietzsche had about the same opinion of Plato as the Bible, and the author here was born a Jew but converted to Christianity and defended White racialism etc (according to Wikipedia).
I've personally always been more interested in Darwinism than in modern physics questions that have already been answered or have reached the limits of their possibilities. Where is Jurassic Park, etc.

Man is the measure of all things- only in his own mind.
