@merelyjwright It's not niceness per se, it's upper-middle class urban manners, grounded in a deep-seated classism and hatred of blue-collar folk. Fifty years ago, they would have become Episcopals but there's no career in that anymore.

@IVMiles The voice of the professional pastorate and seminaries in politics should be degraded.

They aren't experts. Their opinions are no better than anyone else in the pews. Explain how a M.Div. qualifies one to expertly discuss macroeconomics or 14th A. due process jurisprudence.

@DusenburyDavid "The People are not responsible for the acts of tyrants, you can't punish them for the acts of their country"

"Assassinations of state officials are de-civilizational"

Pick One.

@RadioFreeTom As opposed to the Athens that collapsed in two generations from gross demagoguery and massacred every man, woman, and child in Melos in order send a message to the neutral poleis?

[Camillus Institute for Auroro-futurism @Camillus_Inst]

@mnolangray Athens destroyed itself, and more importantly discredited its own ideas with the slaughter of the Melians.

Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle are repudiations of Athenian democracy. The Apology was Athens's trial and Athens was found guilty.

@BDHerzinger The Athens that collapsed in two generations from gross demagoguery and by the end was wantonly murdering Melian women and children as a message to the neutral states?

That's what you want to emulate?

@0x49fa98 People can only hate those who they see; envy is visual.

The "evil rich" to the welfare-poor are people who own a house.

The "evil rich" to the median is a dual-income professional family.

The "evil rich" to the college-educated is a moderately successful small businessman.

@ClickingSeason Consumer slop has the added bonus of making a person less human as well, by reducing personality down to a node of libido-interest guzzling interchangeable content-products.

Don't forget about that perk, either.

[Camillus Institute for Auroro-futurism @Camillus_Inst]

@lwoodhouse @ClickingSeason So the atomizing force of mass-culture, which dissolves real in-person connections and replaces them with screen-mediated pseudo-communication, is the real "culture"?

What a deeply stunted, soulless idea.

[Camillus Institute for Auroro-futurism @Camillus_Inst]

@L0m3z The real problem here is that the terms "white" and "black" are shorthand terms referring to the two largest population-groups in the US in 1964.

They became incoherent when US Civil Rights law took terms for small-town America and universalized them.

[Camillus Institute for Auroro-futurism @Camillus_Inst]

@lwoodhouse @L0m3z Because you treat literature as a reified "thing" among other interchangeable, discrete things, which makes it a commodified consumer object.

Cultured people don't consume books like this; they live in the context of books with others who do the same.

@martensmatt1 @RyanTMcAllister @megbasham @1stLiberty "The person acting a pastor is a woman" is not a defamatory statement, but a factual one. There is nothing actionable about that.

[Camillus Institute for Auroro-futurism @Camillus_Inst]

@lukestamps Caesar thanks you for this pinch of incense.

[Camillus Institute for Auroro-futurism @Camillus_Inst]

@minordissent Real answer:

The dynamics of revolutionary movements attract damaged people who use the movement to cope with their personal flaws by acting out revenge fantasies against people they otherwise would not be allowed to harm.

Those with good intentions fall by the wayside.

[Camillus Institute for Auroro-futurism @Camillus_Inst]

@ReichlinMelnick You are a bald-faced liar.

The 1951 Refugee Convention establishes the basic definitions and rules that are presupposed by American law.

Pass-through migrants are economic migrants, not refugees, who must stay at the first safe port of entry.

[Camillus Institute for Auroro-futurism @Camillus_Inst]

@AmyWhatever70 @LouPerez Obviously, it's so complicated that you should hire our intersectional privilege consultant firm to sort that out for you.

Our hourly rates are low compared to our competitors. We'll certify you bias-free for $300 per billable hour of intersectional research.

[Camillus Institute for Auroro-futurism @Camillus_Inst]

@ryanburge Is that the reason or the post-hoc rationalization they gave for why they left?

Ryan, we expected you to know the literature on this topic a little better than this. This is embarrassing.

[Camillus Institute for Auroro-futurism @Camillus_Inst]

@DarcyMadlock @centristpeater Wait, so you think Americans are allowed to scalp immigrants and burn them alive?

Wow, harsh.

[Camillus Institute for Auroro-futurism @Camillus_Inst]

@paulcqmusic @PerfInjust Wait wait... so the people whose work is being critiqued for possessing basic flaws about the way intentionality operates don't agree that their work should be criticized?

Shocking...

@crwiley1962 Giving $50 to a homeless person who smells like alcohol and is is sitting in front of a liquor store is a sin.

"Empathy" is just an excuse to avoid responsibility for one's immoral, emotional choices that cause real-world harm. We know full well what he's doing with that $50.
