I hope Winsor doesn't mind the call out. Pure Americana is Cultural Appropriation. Enjoy! We were on "Live not by Lies" last. I find it intriguing how e-z, some dismissed the lie,and the underlying racists insinuations. Since 0bama likes repeating such nonsense,and you enjoy his sandwich. I think we should deconstruct the man,LOL. Do you believe in the 0 's sic lie? The great motivating message... those that are awake, don't think so. Hell, I think it's now the majority. Michele's message to men was almosts vindictive as the Peace Prize winners. A reenactment of this type of psychosis can seen here some comedy to obfuscate the malevolent intent of such actors.

Did you wear a poppy this year ? LOL or is it just What your smoking in that mansion. You should worry yourself with your domestic issues. It's a recurring theme of those living a luxury belief system. I don't hold any sense of resentment to you or your ilk. Ironic that I notice, a sense of "ressentiment". A clarification sb made for those without such luxury. "The term, which might be translated as 'resentment', though in most places it is generally left in the original French, is usually associated with German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, who defined it as a slave morality." We should talk about how we can build more housing and a better economy; making it possible for our young citizens can thrive. It just might help with the population problem.Of course, the quick "fix" is way e-z wider, just import more. Peace Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'mass psychosis'.... a great way to dodge a question obviously far greater than that your ability to address it, or certainly beyond your comprehension. You don't understand it, you don't like things that happen, you cannot explain it, you WILL not explain it and your answer is to collectively lump a massive chunk of society into a thing you call 'mass psychosis'. That is pretty fucking lame. If your excuse is that a significant portion of the population is suffering from mass psychosis, then I could just as validly claim that people who think like you are all 'blind idiots'. I am not offering any justification for that and what you ask me to clarify, I can just say, well, what I really mean is 'they are all stupid' but I do not 'want to offer you an explanation of what I mean'. That would be just as invalid a statement as the strong of rubbish you have offered on the subject of woke. It is perfectly Ok to say 'I just do not understand woke so I am not going to comment on it'. Which is advised in your case, To paraphrase PhD Stephen Hicks, Objectivism and the Individual serve a unique role,without them the philosophical world has been chronically subjected to subjectivism.In that climate of subjectivism some future irrationalist cultural movement will rise up to take advantage of it. Add the likes of leftist like Marcusa his ideas like "regressive tolerance" and a picture appears. Hicks lecture can be found at the Atlas society,ironically from a decade ago. So a mass or collective illusion/delusion is not so far fetched.The Fear Love cycle ran its course with covid, an abusive relationship scenario,so we were ripe.Add some of Jonathan Haidt observations and it's not so outlandish.

I am hoping that you were being sarcastic. Consider yourself a decade and 100 pages late.Start at P1W. Take notes. Take it slow. As for my sarcasm,you would be correct. I use the same strategy back in the 70's when dealing with ..., excuse me,prejudice. If you want a liberal professors take I'd suggest John McWhorter's book "woke racism" His high-lights are of the religious cult like qualities of woke. If your motive are to challenge my take.Start with Stossel's interview of Erec Smith.Let me know what you think then we can slowly ease ur way into Dawkins take. Poetic justice if allowed.

I have no idea what you are talking about, and I'm not watching a Youtube video to try to figure it out. In my experience, people who get their opinions from TV or Youtube have done zero thinking about it; they are just regurgitating what the actor on the screen said. Here's a challenge. State your opinion in YOUR OWN WORDS. You can even use quotes from the video to support your statements, but make some statements to discuss. I mean, I could as easily demand you read Zinn's "People's History of the US" and then tell me what you think is wrong with it, but that's not a discussion. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
