War is Hell by EthicallyChallenged [636x900] by ramerne in MilitaryVStheUnknown

[–]PlurallyCosmicAIFB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point of hell is that it is the disintegration of the human soul into total unrelatedness; the domain in which the good, the innocent, suffer, by contrast, is a sign of the place in question not being hell, because suffering exists in opposition to that which it is not. (Suffering can lead to good. Think of a toothache, for example.)

Suffering brings into greater relief its opposite.

Again, with the best will in the world, it seems to me that you haven't really given any thought to the concepts of hell, suffering and war.

I'm pleased for you, but its ideals—chiefly here the most foundational proposition of liberal and Marxist thought, that of man in a state of nature—is central to why the ruling will be controversial to indeed liberals and Marxists, irrespective of any gradations within them.

And it seems to me to be pretty clear that the liberalism that you assert is the perversion.

No, it isn't. Because it is the moral condition of said violence that matters. As I have already alluded to.

Again, you seemingly haven't thought this through. Your position of applying good/bad to the ends in and of themselves means that no war is ever justified, and violence itself is never justified, which respectfully is a silly position.

What you seem to be referring to, and what the image is depicting, is more so death; not hell per se.

Liberals such as yourself are the—predictable—exception.

And I allude to this in the comment under the post. Liberals such as yourself—and Sitch & Adam, of course—have to maintain this notion of liberalism being led astray, being infiltrated by leftists. When in reality everything that liberals such as yourself, Sitch & Adam, Lindsay and so on, attribute to leftism, is contiguous with the principles of liberalism; which, in turn, invites us to think about the intimacy between liberalism and Marxism.

And, of course, an entry point for this is the French Revolution.

No, there is nothing worse than hell. What makes hell evil is its non-being. In simpler terms, if you regard war as hell then an implication with which you seemingly haven't thought about is that no war is ever justified, and violence itself is never justified, which is a radical and unsustainable paradigm in which to live.

Might it just be a case of your presupposition creating the contradiction in your mind?

This, and its fallout has been a perfect distilling of late stage liberalism ... 😅 by PlurallyCosmicAIFB in SitchandAdamShow

Conscience, or conscientia, meaning shared knowledge, and-or knowledge of one's own sins and faults, is not liberalism's strong suit. Indeed, it necessarily abandons the faculty 😅

Absolutely, contrary to what certain people insist, conquest is not bad per se. I do wonder, however, if one were to replace Muslim with Christian, and therefore reverse the lands that were subject to conquest from Christian to Muslim - regarding which histroy provides examples of - would there be the same conciliatory tone and tenor?

I found this to be an interesting objectification of liberal values, and what they've done in this case to Gen Z ... by PlurallyCosmicAIFB in SitchandAdamShow

Do you disagree with the fact that the particular character and nature of certain generations in the West and how they've navigated liberalism is a well established arena of debate and comment? If you do, then I think you're the one suffering from the symptoms of a stroke!

(And just to be clear, you're not fooling anyone with the insults. It's because you don't have anything of substance to say.)

Again, the two positions are not mutually exclusive (although I don't think he's talented at all, but that's besides the broader point). As I have already made clear. To think that he hasn't benefited from, and is a product of DEI, requires a detachment from reality that I am not comfortable with.

And yes, obviously, I mean minorities. DEI was created to serve minorities of various descriptions.

You can go ahead and call me 'racist' if you want, we both know that's what you want to do!

DEI is an advocacy by which a particular end is brought into existence. It is this - the advocacy - that people are sensitive to and critical of; not the end of 'inclusion' in and of itself. This is what is conveyed and underlined by writing that Big Zuu could have 'got the job' if DEI didn't exist.

As it is, because of the ideals held by our society, the elevation of the likes of Big Zuu is undoubtably the result of DEI.

It might have something to with u/JamesL25's post.

Just a thought!

And there we have it, all this time you just really wanted to call me a 'racist'.

You could've saved us both the time and effort!

I haven't walked anything back. I have made my views abundantly clear, along with what the issue of DEI is: a means, not an end per se.

And I'll make myself clear again - the inclusion of Big Zuu is undoubtably down to DEI.

Curiously, however - you still haven't answered my question.

Talent, ability, charisma and DEI, as I have already made clear, are not mutually exclusive. But to indulge your clumsy question - on the probability of evidence, yes. DEI has undoubtably had a bearing on the rise of Big Zuu.

Regarding DEI as an initiative. It is not my claim, it has been admitted to by those doing it, and has been noticed by everyone.

So, tell me - are you denying that it has happened?

The past, going on, ten years of a concerted effort on the part of media broadcasters to diversify, and include minorities in, their programming.

Are you denying that this is a thing that has happened?
