Wait... Do you disagree? If so, Then Stop It!

Also,

Wait again... did you feel something about my post? Then stop out, you're not allowed (your rules, not mine).
You say you want the blue pill but you keep coming back for more of the red. Which is it going to be? If you want me to respond to this post then you will have to clarify what you mean. (and in language even a dummy can understand)

Dr. Feel.
Few in here really want to learn anything. Most are here to impose their own philosophy by force of word, and screw anyone who might dissent. And if you DO disagree with their thinking they'll try to slime you, like some teeny lashing out on social media.

Sadly that is how it works in P&N.

So is there something that Dr. Feels can help you understand or did you just come to shit on emotions. It's quite to be expected that people who hate themselves are not very fond of them.

Personally speaking, Moonbeam, my issue with you is that you've fallen into a particularly toxic form of postmodernism that pushes the idea of cultural relativity far beyond its applicable range.

Just because the universe does not include Platonic moral facts does not mean there is no such thing as morality. You don't seem to understand the concept of emergent behavior, or supervenience.

By analogy: what is a molecule of glucose? 12 hydrogens and 6 each carbons and oxygens, arranged just so. Where, in the atoms individually, is the "glucose-ness?" Nowhere. It comes from the particular arrangement of its constituents.

Similarly, morality is something you get when intelligent, social animals congregate. Get it now?

You know. For far longer than 10 years I've stated what a bag full of bs you are. Others are finally beginning to see the light.

Finally. Your "hate" schlock isn't working any more, Moonpie.

I keep coming back for more because I amuse myself when commenting to you. Have I mentioned how much I enjoy laughing? I've decided we're friends as much as anyone can be friends that talk on a political forum and don't understand each other. No, you don't understand me you just think you do. Thinkin' isn't in fact knowing Moonbeam, don't make me tell you again (but I will at least 500 more times if it strikes my fancy). So to answer your question... Blue Blue Blue Blue Blue with a critical/humorous eye on the Red. <--- Awesome!

Dummy explanation. I don't like you hinting that you might not find me beautiful! Gross! And, you're the one suggesting feelings are a myth, a waste of time, stupid and a lie. Therefore, you must feel nothing about anything I say. Too bad really... I spin Gold from time to time, feels might come in handy. Like when I'm humorous, you laugh. Please tell me you get to laugh still with all your new found reality rattling around in your head. You do, right? And just like I've told the very few people who try to hurt me by pretending not to find me funny... Impossible! <--- I win 98.7½% of the time. Those are difficult odds to withstand. Buckle up mister, a laugh (or chuckle) may erupt from your person without warning at any moment. Sorry?

Did I explain myself well enough?

First off, people would have to value what you propose to teach.
Second off, you impose your philosophy as well and I have seen you lash out.
Third off, just because people don't wake up as you would have them do does not mean they hate themselves.

No but I laughed in an Oh my God save me sort of way. That other post, ask somebody else if it was mean. You know me. I don't care.

Finally. Your "hate" schlock isn't working any more, Moonpie.

We can tell, the state of our Democracy is indicative of just how vast your prison has grown.

The insanity of the human condition has reached a critical mass where many are openly, publicly, advocating for vengeance on their political opponents, AND against those who call for restoring order. After all, Agent keeps reminding us that those are the worst kind of "traitors". Agent's hatred, filled with labels and racism, is infectious. Normally I want to avoid speaking directly of other members, but that appears to be his sole mission here.

Do you even remember the topic at hand? Public messaging. Your newfound cohorts want the message to be "with us or against us". They have internalized a Bush'ism for their wanton march to war. To declare enemy of anyone not already standing behind them with pitchforks. Theirs is a message that the French Revolution has already begun. Let that sink in. The posters here have not shrunk from calling for death.

Moonbeam may not be winning any prizes in communication, but there are truths in what he means to say. My take on it involves causality.

Hug a Nazi? Not exactly. But who here is ignorant of European history and World War 1? That disaster lead them straight into World War 2. The intent to punish Germany lead them to punishing others. How many millions could have been saved if a defeated Germany was instead embraced to avoid the failure of the Wiemar Republic?

I mentioned earlier that hate is infectious. What Democratic value is there in stereotyping others? Not only is it wrong but it hardens those who would not otherwise oppose you. If a majority is independent, but you treat them as the enemy... they BECOME the enemy. Such a path does not yield civil discourse. But as those posters make abundantly clear, they want to take lives, not save them.

Are you in good company?

Younigue: First off, people would have to value what you propose to teach.

M: That was not the context. I quoted what TLC said in an earlier post back at him without the quotes. It wasn't me who suggested that people came to contest not to learn implying, I thought that he thought learning a better reason. Then He called me Dr. Feels, which I took to be intended to make fun of me. I simply pointed out to two things he said that seemed to be in contradiction, that he might actually be guilty of what he had just suggested was an inferior mode of operation.

Y: Second off, you impose your philosophy as well and I have seen you lash out.

M: I am totally innocent. I simply radiate my holy light on the word and fuck anybody who doesn't get it. I don't give two figs what they think because I've already died on the cross and been resurrected. I'm in heaven and I invite you to join me. All you have to do is lose those fucking feet of clay. You're not getting mud on my golden floors and the maid only gets paid once a week to lick them clean. But, out of morbid curiosity, what size halo do you think you might wear?

Y: Third off, just because people don't wake up as you would have them do does not mean they hate themselves.

M: It does too. I'm the one who is God you blinking peon. Fucking listen up.

Now as far as humor goes, I never laugh. Saving the world is very very serious business. You can ask my buddy Mulla Nasrudin about that. And besides, it's hard to laugh around people who hate themselves because they always think you're laughing at them. Trust me on that, remembering who I am. It's the God's honest truth.

You made me laugh... about knowing you and you not caring. Good stuff! Nailed it!

Mean? *cartoon double take* WHAAA.....? <--- That's supposed to be the word what but I was too incredulous to finish. Come now, I was just a wee bit sarcastic. I've no need of involving any one else in our... would it be too far fetched to call it... extremely pleasant exchange(?).

Now to the most important thing you just said... Save you? From little Ol' me? *eyes fluttering, expressing innocence* Well I do declare! Do you often laugh when asking for help? It seems a bit of a mixed message. God could just think you're joshing it. If you want to believe in my God, it has a great sense of humor! Other people's God, not so much. You're taking a risk, just sayin'.

I should mention... I'm on a bit of a roll/tear tonite because for the 10 millionth time in 18 years with my husband he was forced to admit I was right about something. It always pains him and he never grows accustomed to it. I always feel compelled to do my awkwardly (involves flailing, bumbling and bouncing off things) giddy victory dance and it leaves me feeling pumped for hours. I'm just Super right tonight. Don't blame me, blame my husband he was the one goin' around bein' all wrong and s*it.

Nice, in my opinion and causality, as in we create what we fear, treatment of the WW1 defeated Germans like you mentioned, to becoming what we fear, our new brown shirt liberals, the new purity priests, exterminators of deplorables.

K, I have that person on ignore so I didn't see your interaction with him but still... I got nothing.

Innocent? Dubious proclamation mister. "Fuck anybody who doesn't get it" your irony is poking out and it looks happy to see someone. Why'd ya have to cross die? Seems messy and overdone, over-dramatic somehow but at least you came back (a bit pompous for it am I right?) Don't call my feet clay! I've never called your feet any thing EVER! Pay the maid daily cheap skate and buy her a mop already weirdo! Given that I duck my physical 5'1" body under 10' clearings (true story) my aura is ginormous, I assume my halo should accommodate it so HUGE.

I rarely blink!

That's your problem. If you laughed more you'd have an easier time fixing the world. Most people enjoy laughing. I've been accused of loving it more than the average person (true story). "God's honest truth" is suspect. Trust me on this. Trust is a two way street ma' man. You go first!

Don't worry. I have a guaranteed means of stabilizing your condition. The first is a mantra; "This too will pass" Then just continue to argue with me. Your being right will pass because I will never admit to being wrong because I never am. Good night for now, I'm off to watch some TV.

Me being right will never pass. I wear that sh*t like a jumpsuit of many colors!

I will admit to being wrong on the rare occasion it happens. Makes me more relatable ya know? You should try it. "Feels Good!" <--- if you sensed that I broke out in to song just then that's because I did.

Good night to you Sir (you left first so you're either a coward or you acknowledge I win just in general which means I'm right and that makes you wrong... so soon my friend? So soon after making such a bold declaration as you did? Wow, just WOW).

I'm going to now write on a story I've been writing and I told you that for t.m.i. purposes. <--- another way I roll!

But you mentioned Gerrymandering which is possible only in the house of representatives.

Yes. What I'm getting at is that there's a pretty big difference between what we've got now where we had literally two years of dem congress after a huge wave election and otherwise uninterrupted republican control, and one where it can and will change sides. I'm not asking or demanding for uninterrupted dem control, in fact that would be a bad thing unless you get into the really fringe ideas of things like a leftist tea party equivalent exerting control via primaries, and I doubt that'd actually turn out well.

I'll take your point, but just remember it was you who started your previous reply by flatly and without qualification declaring that I am the problem, so my negative reaction should not surprise you so much.

I said that in a very specific context and in response to things you said in this thread, and by ignoring the context of what both of us said you're doing yourself a disservice.

If you compromise on the integrity of elections, then every "compromise" made by the government is fundamentally flawed because some people aren't getting heard. How the hell do you expect me to be able to make a compromise when I'm not even invited to the table?

That's why I'm calling you a bigger threat to democracy than buckshot. Without you and yours, he'd be a fringe lunatic who'd rightly be laughed out of the room. But with the support of "centrists" like you who won't even defend democracy itself, all that is on the table. You're an enabler just because you don't want to acknowledge there is a problem at all and you reliably attack the people who say there is.

Now, you can either back down in the face of evidence, dispute my evidence, or continue on merrily smugging it up about how your willingness to compromise on the very prerequisite for any actual compromise to ever occur is somehow a civic virtue and not simply the path of least resistance for the intellectually lazy to feel good about the job they do as a citizen.

Don't worry. I have a guaranteed means of stabilizing your condition. The first is a mantra; "This too will pass" Then just continue to argue with me. Your being right will pass because I will never admit to being wrong because I never am. Good night for now, I'm off to watch some TV.

If you don't admit to the possibility of being wrong, then the only way you will ever be right is coincidence.

Are you in good company?

Are you? Anti-democracy political beliefs are to be shunned whenever possible.

Nazis weren't dealt with in WWII. They were fully dealt with during the postwar years when the horrors they caused were looked at and the true believers were carefully excised from the body politic because they were fundamentally incompatible with functioning democracy and a free society.

Because the education system had been so thoroughly co-opted (as in by a certain point, you needed NSDAP membership or you lost your teaching job, same as professionals in a great many other fields), they only had enough people with firm anti-fascist credentials (as in the people who straight up got sacked and possibly imprisoned rather than yield to the Nazis) to administer schools, with the idea that they'd supervise the rest, who were selected because as best as could be told they joined the NSDAP and taught their curriculum because they had to, not because they were true believers.

The judiciary was even worse, just because it was chock full of alte komeraden, and there weren't enough people or a similar structure to have firm supervision from anyone with really strong pro-democracy credentials. However, they were the judiciary, and were given a legal code that worked well enough.

The particular beauty of Denazification as a historical example is that it was actually done twice. We can compare and contrast. The East and the West did it. In the West, the government was largely a continuation of what had gone before as far as outward form. The East was a communist government designed by guys with utterly unimpeachable anti-Nazi credentials. In fact, a lot of the ground work was done inside a concentration camp. However, a government for a functioning state is a lot more than a handful of guys at the top. So they quietly did much the same thing as happened in the West.

However, the next step only happened in the West. In the East, criticism of the bureaucracy was brushed off because it was criticism of the government and those guys up top had flawless records. In the West it got to the point where they had a major youth movement in the 60s (if you want more info you can look up the 68er-Bewegung). Among other things, the upshot of the movement included a serious backlash against right wing figures in politics who had held positions under the Nazi government. When presented with a contrast between the pretense of their society to being better than the crimes of their parents and to being an anti-fascist democratic society and what their country actually was, they acknowledged it and took action. As a result, if you look at a map of German support for neo-Nazism, you can quite literally see the East/West border.

Support for attacks on democracy itself are not compatible with a democratic society and if we don't want them to take root, they must be shunned and defused whenever possible. Democracy is not negotiable, it is a prerequisite for negotiation.

Terrible thing to say about someone who's trying his hardest to shill for you.

I'd say it's pretty obvious the anti-nazi/confederate crowd are in better company than the sympathizers. Also worth noting that the french revolution was basically a turning point for western society away from historical conservatism. Funnily enough most americans of that period were arguably far more receptive towards a generously liberal future, which was why we were proud bff's with the french.

Your friends had their shot at taking things back in ww2, and similarly amusing enough even the germans learned a far better lesson from than their american counterparts. And speaking of responsibility for the nazis, it can't be more clear that your predecessors in the 20's/30's were making the same arguments against my predecessors over nipping re-emerging right wing conservatism in the bud. Good thing we were able to clean up your mess.

Personally speaking, Moonbeam, my issue with you is that you've fallen into a particularly toxic form of postmodernism that pushes the idea of cultural relativity far beyond its applicable range.

Just because the universe does not include Platonic moral facts does not mean there is no such thing as morality. You don't seem to understand the concept of emergent behavior, or supervenience.

By analogy: what is a molecule of glucose? 12 hydrogens and 6 each carbons and oxygens, arranged just so. Where, in the atoms individually, is the "glucose-ness?" Nowhere. It comes from the particular arrangement of its constituents.

Similarly, morality is something you get when intelligent, social animals congregate. Get it now?
I missed this post earlier and find it very interesting and it will probably be even more so when I find out what emergent behavior and supervenience are. I will look them up. I read up a bit on E.O. Wilson too because I didn't know the name but I remember reading about the ant man long ago and being impressed about something or other he said.

I will have to save any critique I might have with the emergent and the super thingi and deal now only with the cultural relativity one. I don't think real morality is relative nor would I call it absolute in the sense it can be codified. I think morality is the action that flows from a God conscious state. But those are only words.

When I was young I set out to prove that God exists because I wanted to prove that the good exists and I wanted to do that to provide a logical force as to why people should be moral. I did that because I could not bear to witness the suffering and deaths of millions and millions of people due to evil in the world. So many seen not to care they are evil. And then there is the tragic death of so many, so many children, for example, who die before they even get to live. I failed and I knew I would suffer endlessly and never be happy. I was forced to abandon my deepest dreams, by longed for goals and surrender to a live in hell, to live as a giant wound. The universe is cold benign and empty, indifferent to our joys or our suffering. We are nothing but dust in the wind. I died within. Everything I had that could be taken was taken, and in a single moment I awoke in my room to the sound of the wind. I knew everything. When everything you have that supports your ego disappears, a different self appears. That self is the Lover. It's God it's good, it's all ones deepest longing and dreams It is the love of being,

So morality is emergent to me in the sense that it is what remains when all notions or formulae of morality die. It is what is when the ego isn't. So for me it isn't exactly what you get when intelligent, social animals congregate. It is what you get when evolution operates on social animals over millions of years. It is what a human is genetically before the programming is written and after it is erased. It is who we are and who we have always been. We are all the love of God even if we do not know it. That is why it is wrong to hate the other. Hate the program if you must and if you are free of one yourself, but do not hate the essential being, the God in everyone. You hate the monster but the monster is a monster because he can't find and doesn't know about his true self. So we see the monster but not the god within. We are all living in that hell of separation. Why add to it?

It's just really sad that when you finally try to reach out to those who say they aren't among those who hate, you find that they are just as big of liars and haters as all the rest. Bigger liars, actually, since what they claim to represent is supposedly so much purer, cleaner, and more empathetic than the "other side." How fucking pathetic, really, such disgusting hateful bullshit.

I guess this is where I say goodbye.

As matters of indisputable fact, in your time here like most conservatives you've had nothing bad to say about the objectively worst possible political allies, and have instead mostly taken to whining about people who point out the truth of that self-interested partnership. Now it's certainly the case that presenting this basic truth paints you et al in an incredibly poor light, which you've tried to dishonestly claim is the same in kind as these lies you routinely tell out of habit, not unlike all these other conservatives you obviously identify with.

Again to be crystal clear, these are facts of the case, which you have never bothered disputing due to the abundance of supporting evidence. Contrast this with your post mouthing off about whatever, which you're aware is supported by nothing hence the "leaving" instead of ever producing any kind of coherent counterargument. In sum, don't blame liberals for being superior at reasoning, it's an inherently liberal activity.

I missed this post earlier and find it very interesting and it will probably be even more so when I find out what emergent behavior and supervenience are. I will look them up. I read up a bit on E.O. Wilson too because I didn't know the name but I remember reading about the ant man long ago and being impressed about something or other he said.

I will have to save any critique I might have with the emergent and the super thingi and deal now only with the cultural relativity one. I don't think real morality is relative nor would I call it absolute in the sense it can be codified. I think morality is the action that flows from a God conscious state. But those are only words.

When I was young I set out to prove that God exists because I wanted to prove that the good exists and I wanted to do that to provide a logical force as to why people should be moral. I did that because I could not bear to witness the suffering and deaths of millions and millions of people due to evil in the world. So many seen not to care they are evil. And then there is the tragic death of so many, so many children, for example, who die before they even get to live. I failed and I knew I would suffer endlessly and never be happy. I was forced to abandon my deepest dreams, by longed for goals and surrender to a live in hell, to live as a giant wound. The universe is cold benign and empty, indifferent to our joys or our suffering. We are nothing but dust in the wind. I died within. Everything I had that could be taken was taken, and in a single moment I awoke in my room to the sound of the wind. I knew everything. When everything you have that supports your ego disappears, a different self appears. That self is the Lover. It's God it's good, it's all ones deepest longing and dreams It is the love of being,

So morality is emergent to me in the sense that it is what remains when all notions or formulae of morality die. It is what is when the ego isn't. So for me it isn't exactly what you get when intelligent, social animals congregate. It is what you get when evolution operates on social animals over millions of years. It is what a human is genetically before the programming is written and after it is erased. It is who we are and who we have always been. We are all the love of God even if we do not know it. That is why it is wrong to hate the other. Hate the program if you must and if you are free of one yourself, but do not hate the essential being, the God in everyone. You hate the monster but the monster is a monster because he can't find and doesn't know about his true self. So we see the monster but not the god within. We are all living in that hell of separation. Why add to it?

If humans were inherently moral, then homocide/crime rates wouldn't have only dropped over the course of history. It's almost as if we used our intelligence to progressively adopt smarter programs for living.

You know. For far longer than 10 years I've stated what a bag full of bs you are. Others are finally beginning to see the light.

Finally. Your "hate" schlock isn't working any more, Moonpie.
Oh like you're one to talk. You're not fit to tie his shoes, even if they are hemp sandals. Compared to you he's fuckin' E. O. Wilson.

Dear Chicken, As surprising to me as it was, and regardless of any flattery my worthless ego might derive from it, that is AH's post, I also feel sorry that you head was so summarily removed in her killing cone. I want you to know that I understand fully why you don't want to accept that you hate yourself. It is the last thing anybody wants to know and the one thing people will do anything to avoid. Almost everybody goes though life completely unaware of the feelings except for some perhaps vague unease that something somehow might be wrong somewhere. It's what feeling disrespected is all about. That is how we feel when something causes us to feel that taboo feeling. The important thing though is while you don't know you hate yourself, the good news is that even though you do, there is actually nothing wrong with you other than the terrible effects believing it's true has on your behavior. There is nothing wrong with you. I don't know about you, but I have known that humanity is insane since I was seven.

The bolded makes no sense at all to me, not that I disagree with the sense of it, but that I have no idea what you are saying and what those words mean or trying to say.

My skills are direct line of sight, not "Cone of $EFFECT"-style spells, but thanks Magic takes too damn long to charge, you take too many bodily penalties to use it, and this sword has some kind of weird multiplier to it anyway. Definitely did take the head off ol' Original Recipe there.
