It is possible to express the same opinions in a more professional way and to convey your anger rationally. Lenin engaged in harsh polemics but they weren't incoherent balls of rage. He wrote organized paragraphs, kept his composure, and people could respond to him
@becomingidea The idea that every form of Judaism-Christianity-Islam is a "voodoo cult" is incoherent. Say that they're incorrect, say that they're built on false foundations, sure. But understand that you are not special and that there are plenty of rational people who are believers
This is incorrect, irrational, and a me problem, but atheism and anti-communism strike the same emotional chord in me. As denials of any of the higher ideals that humans have ever imagined, the denial of hope, roads that lead only to death
@theirateassasin I think that those transcendental ideals reflect, in their own obscured and muddled incomplete way, the truth fully revealed in divine revelation
@GramsciPartisan Because we live in the here and now, because we are commanded to do works of mercy, because we can build for what is at hand but not yet knowing that it will be multiplied a thousand-fold
I've really been thinking about the past few years. 7.11M dead from COVID, 100k mass killed in Palestine, 1.6M dead in Russia and Ukraine, 400K dead in Sudan. Just nonstop misery. Cold beer on a Friday night.
You have to be able to talk to people! Others need to able to follow your arguments and gain insight! This thing started with what, endogamy? Something wrong & harmful & easily argued against without becoming an exchange of insults for the amusement of your peanut gallery oomfies
Your adversary may be the devil himself but you can't just be all prickly and spitting "fuck you fuck you" and expect observers to take you seriously. Which is not always fair and it is wrong to demand composure from the oppressed. But you have to able to talk to people
