Take Back Talking Points (Episode 1, Part 2/8)

This is a project thought up by my friend Alex who runs the Capitalocracy site here on YT. It's a progressive roundtable discussion which we're hopefully going to make a weekly thing here on YT. Vid segments alternate between our 2 sites. All vids will be linked eventually, as well being in a playlist. Also, Alex hopes to have the whole thing available as a downloadable podcast soon.

Here's the vid that introduced me to Alex (was featured on Davis Fleetwood's channel)

Great talk you guys. Nice to see two intelligent talking heads for a change.

I researched the use torture within three moral frameworks: utilitarian, egoistic and "do onto others". There is no moral grounds for torture, no argument "for it" when you look at the whole picture. You have touch on some of these points.

Naomi Wolf has had some interesting talks on using scapegoats (the minnows who were ordered to torture). Go after the big fish.

Do you really think Chaney is being other than Machiavellian? Sure, maybe they're all Machiavellian, but Chaney is just so extremely scary in his perfection of it...So scary!
