All language is a lossy compression of reality — beware: some exploit this feature of language to collapse perception into their preferred moral categories.
@robbystarbuck Speaking of mental illness: Chewing Tylenol pills was an interesting moment in the culture. When I look at the left, the amount of reflexive moral inversion out of spite is still shocking. It’s EXACTLY what Nietzsche warned about: don’t predicate your moralisms on resentment.
Progress is a very loaded term. Public education is hostile to males and overly accommodating to girls over boys. Viewed in Ted Kaczynski’s terms: Technological civilization is a self-perpetuating structure that increasingly absorbs and regulates every domain of life — and women are the exploit — they’re the clerical class that facilitates the “process” culture of the bureaucratic structure. This is “the system” imposing a selection mechanism — it’s building its Bene Gesserit.
Yes! This! It looks like many people that graduate from many academic institutions have been infected with self hatred that mutates into oikophobia and gets projected to their community — and then this shit gets reinforced in online bubbles. It’s really annoying because they act like they’re levitating above the rest of us because they have an aesthetic attraction to narratives that condemn them and their family and their home culture, behaving like it’s a feature of refinement and sophistication but to me it’s really an indicator that they are mentally unwell — and many have the intelligence to make it worse because they’ll direct their intelligence to only look for evidence that confirms their views instead of challenge them.
I’ll invite people to speculate whether a lot of it originates from toxic left leaning intellects that are sprung out of a puritanical ethos. To me, these people are harming our children and young adults by infecting them with their mental illnesses by foregrounding things that attempt to guilt unsuspecting and innocent children. Shame on them!
@JReputables@Rothmus I love this answer. It flatly admits from an apologist’s perspective that socialism is predicated on envy and resentment, while also demonstrating a misunderstanding how markets work. Heck, I think you misunderstood what you replied to actually said.
The Left calling Naziism “right wing” is damage control. Naziism is yet another example of the violent anti-individualistic fervor of the Left. These Race Marxists today are trying something similar and we should all be very threatened by the violence they feel justified committing.
