I find many of the things Bob II said here to be personally repugnant. Equally, the "punch a Nazi" types are repugnant to me too. Maybe it's time for everyone to grow up, accept that other people both think differently and are ALLOWED to think differently, and then make a mature decision on who to associate with WITHOUT threatening them with violence.

You have the right to be a holocaust denier in this country, for instance. You may face unpleasant consequences, but holocaust denial is ILLEGAL in many countries. If the distinction seems trivial to you, maybe it's because you've never been sent to fucking prison for espousing a controversial political opinion.<br /><br /><br /><br />SurrenderMonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01867098480604057724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-52352702644364850372020-02-20T14:40:42.411-05:002020-02-20T14:40:42.411-05:00Bob Jr. thinks the media is controlled in part by ...Bob Jr. thinks the media is controlled in part by "Zionists", which is why he referred to it as the "Jewsmedia".

Also related is cognitive dissonance, in which contradictory beliefs cause conflict in one's mind. Doublethink is notable due to a lack of cognitive dissonance—thus the person is completely unaware of any conflict or contradiction. <br />- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DoublethinkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-26786391541180925212020-02-20T03:23:51.238-05:002020-02-20T03:23:51.238-05:00If you claim to be a "punch a nazi" your...If you claim to be a "punch a nazi" your basically no better than a brown shirted SA thug.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-16357896351989762372020-02-20T02:27:07.081-05:002020-02-20T02:27:07.081-05:00Huh....so the anonymous poster above went full log...Huh....so the anonymous poster above went full logical fallacy to denigrate social institutions by way of religion is bad because some forms practice an exclusionary approach to community.

I'm glad he doesn't own a gun by choice and respect that he said it's wrong to take that right from others. Otherwise, frankly I'd be fearful of him going postal. Instead, "It's not worth it", is all I'd ever say to this man regards these topics. And, ironically to anyone else regards this matter. What does one gain by such Facebook views followed by how does one come by them are two questions I don't need answers to.

It is a religion that appears to cheat on the question of recognizing common humanity. It divides humans into categories of oppressor and victim, and the plight of the victim is cause to not recognize 'the oppressor' as human, but instead a mystical fetish whose destruction profits 'the victim'. Once you make that decision to dehumanize 'the oppressor', you abandon all principled grounds to object to 'victims' being dehumanized.<br /><br />There is a view that opposition to religious or cultural differences is racist. There is a view that racism under this definition is intolerable. Once you conclude that all religious and cultural differences must be tolerated, and by coercion, you abandon the right to objection to religions and cultures that you find wildly alien. In effect, you no longer have a principled reason to object to people who consider recognition of common humanity to be entirely optional. <br /><br />Opinions are an area where it is easy to make people shut up, and can be very difficult to actually coerce.<br /><br />If Bledsoe is not permitted to live with his understanding of his motive to recognize common humanity, if the pro-life Christians are not permitted to act on their understanding of common humanity, are you going to be successful in convincing them to cleave only to your own understanding?<br /><br />Or are you going to persuade people that surrendering to you is a fool's game, and it is better to pick values independently of what you believe?
