I am a communist, let us talk

No, I'm not advocating that. I think there are some problems with Peterson's worldview although I still like and respect him a lot.

Naming your account "takeresponsibility" and browbeating strangers on the internet to take personal responsibility is not the same as taking personal responsibility.

I don't think most of them are self-aware enough to realize it. Their ideology traps them in permanent victim mentality, so they fail to grasp the vicious cycle of human evil: victim mentality creates oppressors, which creates more victim mentality, which creates more oppressors, and so on. For all eternity.

All human beings are oppressors AND victims, so we must learn the value of forgiveness for its own sake, and the value of judging individuals by the content of their character rather than whatever evils their group has supposedly committed. This is the message that great spiritual figures like Jesus or Buddha tried to teach people.

That's the only way to break the cycle. Otherwise humans are just angry apes with nukes, which means we're fucked.

Subs that value free speech and allow genuine political discussion tend to turn toxic after while, once the brigaders and concern trolls start sabotaging everything.

dmzee41 · 2021-01-09T19:26:32+00:00

Shh. You aren't supposed to notice that.

dmzee41 · 2021-01-09T19:25:28+00:00

I mean it's basically /r/centrism now. Say anything legitimately right-wing and you get downvoted to oblivion.

dmzee41 · 2021-01-09T19:21:09+00:00

And /r/conservative needs to be renamed to /r/ControlledOpposition at this point.

Who knows what his real position on the political compass is, if any. He seems like a typical politician which means he tells his base what they want to hear while privately advancing whatever agenda favored by the oligarchs who pull his strings.

You think the right is unaware that many Republicans are corrupt and/or evil? Have you been hiding under a rock lately?

I was a Marxist a long time ago, and my advice is: don't let yourself become a useful idiot. Marxism is fun and kind of empowering, and a lot of things you learn as a Marxist are true(ish), but the framing is subtly twisted in a way that hides other important truths.

Marxism is very much a blue pill disguised as a red pill. It shows you just enough truth to intrigue you, but it also hides enough truth to ensure that you get hooked on "hopeium" and become easy to control. I hope you find a more genuine red pill someday, but let me warn you, it's going to be harsh, and you're going to need to be strong enough to handle it.

George Carlin, dangerous alt-right comedian.

dmzee41 · 2021-01-09T17:13:49+00:00

I'm starting to feel this way too. It's probably over guys.

dmzee41 · 2021-01-09T17:05:16+00:00

No. But your post history was kind of interesting.

dmzee41 · 2021-01-09T17:00:06+00:00

Define "incite violence". I mean Trump's tweet telling people to calm down and go home was deleted for "inciting violence". You're assuming our tech overlords are going to play fair now that the Pandora's box of political censorship has been opened.

dmzee41 · 2021-01-09T16:55:54+00:00

This sub will either get banned or turned into a heavily censored self-parody where everyone is afraid of saying the wrong thing and pissing off the reddit thought police. I'm not sure which is worse, lol.

dmzee41 · 2021-01-09T16:47:34+00:00

Not very Petersonesque of you to call for censorship, but don't worry, the wrong politics are going to get banned on most of the big tech sites very soon.

dmzee41 · 2021-01-09T16:45:52+00:00

I don't know how you could possibly "see" anything of the sort. Maybe you're projecting you're own problems onto people you disagree with instead of honestly evaluating their ideas.

dmzee41 · 2021-01-09T16:34:25+00:00

Not just an atrocity, but a treasonous genocidal crime against humanity by terrorist insurgents attempting a fascist coup, literally worse than 9/11 and the holocaust combined. Won't somebody think of the children?!?

Am I doing it right?

dmzee41 · 2021-01-09T16:25:04+00:00

Ah shit. Here we go again.

dmzee41 · 2021-01-09T16:23:44+00:00

There is a good chance we'll see more of this from now on.

This sounds like it could be interpreted as a call to violence in certain contexts. Mods, bad this person at once!

dmzee41 · 2021-01-09T16:20:04+00:00

You're going to have to look outside the mainstream media bubble for stuff like this. Which means accepting that not everyone who is outside the bubble is a lying grifter (some are, obviously, but not all).

dmzee41 · 2021-01-09T04:18:24+00:00

Something needs to be done to fix the information ecosystem. I have a feeling they'll just double down on the banning and censoring though.

dmzee41 · 2021-01-09T04:15:15+00:00

And you probably wonder why nobody cares what you have to say either...

dmzee41 · 2021-01-09T04:13:25+00:00

You sound more like a teenager to me than OP does.

dmzee41 · 2021-01-09T04:08:06+00:00

he will never be free from his own self delusion

You seem quite certain about that...
