ArgumentativeMonotheist

Hehehe.

Not any anglo/Western forums, at least none that aren’t entirely populated by knuckle-dragging, hateful morons. As it tends to happen, whatever middle ground wise position is rarely reached, only the extremes. It’s a sensitive topic that involves particularly sensitive people, and I’ve found I don’t really talk about it in public either as it rarely serves any purpose… I don’t even personally know any trans person! I do know a locally popular drag queen and have a couple of gay uncles but it’s evidently not the same, lol.

That is beautiful indeed. 😊❤️

I believe in democracy as an ideal but I don’t see how that would work. Oh well.

Mmm… Maybe? What is ego being defined as here? 😅

If the vast majority of people thought about anything that escaped the material world, maybe. As it is, anyone who understands how stupid, gullible, emotional, irrational, selfish and greedy human beings can be (especially those without any sort of moral code, like irreligious hedonists, for instance) and has the money to flood media with propaganda will inevitably make people believe what he or she wants.

The comments here are very idealistic, but I live in reality. I know there’s one wise man out of a hundred, the others focus on practical matters and football. Unless you can just snap your fingers and make people, for instance, not be stupid and intellectually lazy enough to vote for a M/BILLIONAIRE “wise leader of the proletariat” (honestly, every time I type something Trump related I wonder how we’ve made it this far as a species… then I remember the atomic bomb is not even a century old 🤷), then no, you WILL have to censor some folks. Or, said passively, some folks need to be censored… Sadly, in many countries, the ones who do the mass immoral brainwashing also have the political power to silence and incarcerate those who oppose them.

Yeah, most Israelis, let me change that up quick.

At no point did I shoot the messenger, I’m just empathically saying there’s no fence sitting in this situation that’s extremely clear for anyone except those with a very ‘European colonizer’ mindset.

No! Dune, the book series, is basically all dialogue or internal dialogue and Denis made two beautiful films, from the cinematographic, visually aesthetic perspective, but left out or unnecessarily changed (and negatively altered) much of its essence. It’s all style over substance, basically, and it f’d up the substance as well.

I love that film! It’s what I wanted Dune to be a bit more like, lol.

Idk what you meant by this but okay. 👍

Indeed!

Even “let me Google that for you” was popular only some years ago. Yes, people are lazy, unthinking hedonists most of the time. In the absence of some sort of strict moral basis, society degenerates because only the tiniest minority will even think about things to try to establish some personal rules.

But don’t most Israelis* take part in the killing (either directly or indirectly by being a POG) through their military service? In America, I could believe that while most people are stupid and amoral, there are only a minority of bloodthirsty racists…

Liberal means “covert” and “more palatable” but with the same objectives.

Germans killed other Germanics, Northern and Eastern Europeans so these Germanic, Northern and Eastern Europeans moved to the Middle East and killed Semites. 🤷😔

Seems like an easy moral “don’t go to jail card” that collapses under any sort of scrutiny (“so your parents were murdered by their European neighbours so now you can murder Semites without issues?”), perhaps because they themselves have some blood in their hands and would rather bury their heads in the sand. Diabolic behaviour, NGL.

Who do you think Jesus was? A Buddhist preacher? 😅

October 7th? Seemingly unprovoked?

Do they not understand how Israel was created and how it’s maintained ? It’s like if the Europeans who invaded, pillaged and settled in North America also stole their identities afterwards to spin the narrative! After all, Germanics and Eastern Europeans are as Semitic as I am a lady (I’m a hairy dude). The only moral thing to do is to condemn Israel as the European colonial project it always was, and not to take part in the killing at the very least.

But how can “Jews” (Moses killed ONE man in a way that one Palestinian could kill one low level IDF soldier and that was enough for him to realise that wasn’t the way… how do they claim to fear God? Lol) talk about it in earnest when their hands are covered in blood? The cowardly, weak and irresponsible way of acting will follow their personalities and they’ll just have a tantrum not to accept the reality of things: if you were part of the IDF, you 100% murdered innocents and have probably earned your place in Hell (definitely if you never repent!). I understand how sensitive that can make one feel, at the same time I understand they’re truly horrible human beings who will make any excuses and believe any lies necessary, so honest dialogue is impossible…

Randomness? Or uncertainty? Cause I understand uncertainty (both epistemologically and physically, and more so the former than the latter), but it’s hard for me to understand randomness when everything comes from something that came before, forming a line of causes and effects (knowable and unknowable) from the beginning of the universe until today. Perhaps through quantum physics, idk, but I don’t think I need to understand it as long as I only take into consideration what happens after the collapse of the wave function, lol. I also understand that consciousness is a black box, and free will is evidently real (go diet or be faithful in your teenage yours, you’ll quickly discover your freedom as you’re fighting yourself) but is axiomatic and cannot be properly explained in words (it’s part of the terrain that cannot be represented in the map).

Respectfully, I think both the question and the premise are quite meaningless.
