It's useless man, people are just looking at their finances and their fake freedoms (I can choose between McDonald's and Popeye what to eat!!! Muh freedom!!!) to understand that they've lost their actual freedoms with the patriot act and a series of sweeping changes to the rule of law due to the "war on terror" the USA have brought on since the start of the 2000s. Before that it was an all out attack against economic freedoms, starting with the cancellation of the differentiation between investment and saving banks until the loss in regulations against malpractices brought forward by corporations.
The best slave is the one who think he is free because he won't fight back under no circumstances. They cannot see any chains on their wrists but are unable to see the (always shorter) leash around their neck. And they would die defending their masters, thinking to be fighting the good fight.
We can just try to present our position as clearly as possible, we could be opening the eyes of someone reading our comments and that's all that matter.
Keep on keeping on dude
Then your comment was such a load of shit that it was removed from a moderator. Either way the original comment we were replying to is no longer with us so I cannot tell the point you were arguing about in it, I inferred its contents from the first reply by NoneOfUrBusiness and the citations he provided with it.
Furthermore your reply to NoneOfUrBusiness answer to your original post was just a "no, you're wrong and I'm right". Such a level of discussion, you must be a sage in your community. If your community is a kindergarden .
Lastly you can have opinions, too bad they are shit opinions not supported by facts
And yet you're the one who cancelled his comment. Pray tell, is it not true that the rise in American authoritarianism started in the late 60es, when the government started to act in spite of what public opinions thought about its action in foreign countries and wars? If not, can you please post any proof supporting this thesis of yours? Because it's sure as he'll that I, as many others, will never take your word for granted if you aren't able to support it with factual information.
Take your head out if your ass and realise that American (like most of us in the "developed" world) have been bought with pearls and trinkets to subdue their reasoning capabilities and voices to capitalism and its venomous fruits. The sooner you accept this ACTUAL FACT the sooner you can start fighting the good fight against capitalism and its cronies (who may also be your friends and family; not all capitalists drive around in nice cars or live in big villas. Most of them are "momentarily embarrassed billionaires" or delusional victims as I like to call them)
Any god is an egregore, like any other thought or believe is. Santa, the black man, Allah, these are all egregore with more or less power according to the mental strength and energy of the believers which are part of these groups. Of course, as anything created by humans, egregore are fallible and presents various "defects" in their behaviours and actions. The most important thing is to always remember that egregores, being a byproduct of human though, are and always will be much less powerful than any human being. Take Yahweh or Allah and place it in front of an infant, they won't be able to do shit as the child will be uneffected by the social knowledge about these entities and thus will be receptive to their true form, which is one of ethereal beings having no control on the physical world. Anything they can do they do because we give them the power to do so, once we realise they are no more powerful than a breeze through the leaves their power crumble and they return to be what they truly are, invisible and intangible leeches praying on our mental energy.
If you believe in spiritual teachings of course, otherwise please continue not believing in such things and cussing against god and/or the modern American Christian nationalist faith, the effect will be the same
The main difference between Christianity and atheism is that atheism is no organised movement. We don't have a pope (no matter what Christians say about us, I don't follow any of the so called "leaders" of the atheist movement like richard dawkins and his positions on the trans right movement for instance) and we don't have a centralised structure, we simply don't believe in ANY god.
On the other hand there is Christianity and all organised religions which, as the name suggests, are ORGANISED around a central set of dogmas which are intended to be accepted as gospel by all their members. If you're part of one of such religions you implicitly accept all their teachings as true and you support their message and actions. If you don't want to be lump in with all other cultists following these directions please remove yourself from this specific group or shut the hell up.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk, I'll be here as long as needed
Or they shouldn't be indoctrinated at all but just nurtured and taught? I mean, I get both your positions but we have to face the fact that religions ask their followers blind devotion to their principles without providing proof or logical reasoning, while schools, families and societies usually are able to explain the reasons why certain things are done in certain ways (usually for the common good).
Why should we keep on sending kids to education camps like after school christian classes? Here in Italy we have loads of pupils being taught christianity because "everybody goes to catechismo" (n.b. catechismo Is the name given to these education classes where you are taught how christianity is the only true religion and everybody else is wrong about their gods and beliefs), it should be high time that these would be eliminated in favour of a more general education about religions at 360°. Children should be taught about christianity, islam, buddhismo, zoroastrismo, paganism and all belief systems to understand why they exist and which role they occupy in our lives. This or we can continue with the standard indoctrination because removing it would be harmful against the indoctrination itself as you messages suggest
Nobody is denying that we are all imperfect monkeys nor is stating that being misinformed is the only characteristic of being stupid. I'm simply sayig that making mistakes is human, perservering in being mistaken is diabolical, as we say here in Italy. They knew the man from the previous administration and they actively choose to support him still after they saw what he was able to do with January 6th, besides all other misdees he achieved between 2016 and 2020. They are either morons and idiots or bad people, no inbetween left imho. If you still believe they are capable of changing without receiving an heartfelt apology from them, buddy, I've got a coliseum to sell to you, contact me in private
Or just reality settling in. The choice is theirs, they can still be a stubborn group of idiots unable to see they have been lured into a cult or they can stop this madness, apologize and do better for themselves and for other around them. If they go for the former we are in our full right to let them know how little we care for their fate; they have choosen it for themselves
A smart person is impossible to dupe twice. This is Trump second term, anyone voting for him a second time after the first one does not deserve to be called "intelligent". They are as stupid as they come and they can only blame themselves for that, especially in an era where information are abundant and vary.
Sit down and enjoy the ride, my dude
