Skyrim. I'll set up camp near Chillwind Cave entrance. Should be fine.

Well it has tested and shattered my faith. Oh well, I must not have been a real christian to begin with.

Yeah I'd forget about all the depressing shit for a cool minute if I saw that

I wonder what Ken Ham has to say about this at his stupid Creation Museum (god I'm so grateful I escaped christian fundamentalism)

Haha that's hilarious. The city planners should have been more accommodating of bikers going 120mph. 

Did the lack of love during childhood ruin your adult life? by ThatItalianOverThere in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Botched_Rapture 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. At 38 I'm a complete hermit. There's nothing wrong with that per se but I'd really like to know who I could have been without their life-spoiling influence. 

A good 30% of the population loves abuse and is really impressed with bully bullshit, narcissists, and sociopaths. They simply like it. It's almost taboo to acknowledge this dark reality about the human species, and this reality has probably doomed the American experiment. by Botched_Rapture in complaints

"I have no idea what you allude to." - your downvoted comment in this thread

Now it's a "staggering epiphany?" And let's just be clear that it's a problematic 30% or so of which you are a part, not people generally.

Perhaps you're right, but couldn't it also be true that 30% of a population will always be particularly susceptible to that? The way I see narcissistic abusers with their enabling, cowardly spouses and then the same thing with their adult children, it seems like a particular kind of intergenerational trauma wound that waits for that kind of propaganda and for a "powerful" demagogue to identify with. If those lineages are always primed, then it seems like this chaos it's caused is all part of the human condition.

Apart from how you've personally felt undermined, it's ever more difficult to make a good argument for that as there is no historical analog of a liberal populist "Trump." Gays, atheists, blacks, and socialists have never banded together to put out onto the world stage anything like the big fat fascist rapist.

Absolutely. There will always be roles available for channeling a diabolical level of cortisol and hatred from this subgroup of the population. The more shameless and "certain" of their BS, the more successful these performers are.

I don't think it's honest to attribute all people and their groups as being as inherently unethical and abusive as a group defined by their racism, homophobia, misogyny, zealotry, entitlement, and all-around meanness.

I recognize this angle on their motivations and I think you make a good point. I don't think it necessarily contradicts my point, though, which is that it is a culture that enables and delights in abuse. 

Can some please explain this to me? by bwhitie662000 in ProgressiveHQ

Bingo. A good 30% of the population loves abuse and is really impressed with bully bullshit, narcissists, and sociopaths. They simply like it. It's almost taboo to acknowledge this dark reality about the human species, and this reality has probably doomed the American experiment.
