It's all a part of Tavistock Institute's plan to destroy America... I did a post today called Cool is a Four Letter Word: The Conformity of Nonconformists... Looks like iontom jumped right on board!
I'll check it out. Yes, I have heard ot the Tavistock Institute, but haven't done much reading on it. That's a great tip I will check out. Yeah, I am just wondering if he recognizes the irony.
Well put, mate. IMO, the lack of critical-thinking skills is obvious not only in squawking SJWs, but also in every ideologue and zealot out there. Little worms begging the cosmos to hear them out.
The social justice movement has become the oppressive, discriminatory, sexist, racist plague on society that it sought to destroy and has the added benefits of being hyper-relativist, anti-science, untrained in critical thinking or logic and increasingly unwilling to engage in constructive civil dialogue. Isn't that grand?
Go fuck yourself. What's detrimental to society as a whole is politically motivated vehicular manslaughter by 19 year old kids who see "All Lives Splatter" memes on their social media sites and take it seriously.
There is brainwashing on both sides, but the brainwashing on the right is 100x more physically violent. You can't have dialogue when the goal is to murder the opposition.
If you liked this post, you might appreciate my earlier posts on the social justice phenomenon where I go heavy on the critical thinking aspect. I would suggest maybe giving The Social Justice Movement is Its Own Worst Enemy. Thanks for the kind post!
Excellent and well written post as usual. Resteemed. I found the guy in the comments telling you to go fuck yourself pretty amusing. Greatly illustrated the critical thinking points you made. They simply do not grasp how low ad hominem attacks make their arguments seem. Let's open up our argument with a statement of idiocy. :)
Thanks for the reply, I know you have been busy so I appreciate it all the more. Yes, I was thinking of actually making a post along the lines of "I just got my first Go F* Yourself!" but thought better of it. Thanks by the way for your votes ;). Unfortunately my votes aren't that strong yet. You're my hero!
I admire when people don't respond to aggressiveness and hate with hate. Not many people are like that. It's a sign of maturity, intelligence and of course critical thinking.
People nowadays are hardening their beliefs into dogmas, they should learn how to listen or read, explore ideas and challenge their own beliefs. Or should I say, be open to change.
I am not very knowledgeable about politics and other ideologies, but through my travels, I've seen social injustice right in front of me. And I've experienced it myself.
I don't have a TV, and I chose not to have. But I just try to read as much as I can, but I cannot ignore all these craziness and stuff. I just shake my head in disbelief. Haven't people traveled to the poor areas of the world? Did they just stay all their lives in one place? Haven't they experienced not being part of the priveledged? Haven't they realized that there's more going on out there, more legitimate worries, people need food, shelter, people are victims of the system and economic crisis. And here the people are busy defending their fragile egos, ideologies, and their own tribes. Take a look what the earth is like, and what we are here. We are just a dot, a tiny speck in the universe. In the end, none of these matters. Things will end, and people will die. Life is short for all this human craziness. All we can do is just enjoy our short time here on earth, understand, help, embrace our differences and love...
All of these resulted from the conditioning and the environment that shaped the way we think or behave, check out what late 'Jacque Fresco', said 'all cultures are corrupt.'
Wash, rinse and repeat for a few decades and we find ourselves where we are today.
Sadly, most people in the States haven't traveled much at all, if out of the country at all. This article breaks down how people travel (business, leisure etc.) and you can imagine that of those that do travel outside the States for leisure, most are going to tourism hot spots and stay in hostels or hotels and rarely make it to the less frequented areas where the life is a struggle.
I would contend however that in the end, what we do does matter in terms of the propagation of ideas. Not in the eventuality that there is some metaphysical reward or punishment after death, but in terms of how we impact the system that is ongoing and continues on after we are gone. There are some ideas that are worth struggling to realize even if they are impossible to achieve in our lifetimes, such as the non-aggression principle, altruism, self-sufficiency, freedom, mutual respect and, yes, above all things: love. And if that means having to toss one's hat into the arena of ideological endeavor and getting one's hands dirty, well.... I guess I signed up. :P
Thank you for the taking the time to craft a thoughtful and heartfelt comment, I very much appreciate it!

I agree with this. Yes, it's what we do matters.
As long as we don't spend our lives harming others, protecting our possessions, ideologies through this aggression and violence. Just like the great characters in the past who died, but their lives, legacies, and their works live on.
I recall listening to Yuri Bezmenov in my younger days. Thank you for the reminder. The jujitsu of idealogical combat, he called Sun Tzu's methods. Your posts remind me of Frank Herbert's writing regarding oligarchy.
The character of an oligarchy is the tyranny of the minority disguised as the rule of the majority. (Interestingly Bolshevik means "majority" while Lenin's party was clearly the minority during the early days of the revolution.). The bureaucracy is expanded to the limits of a system's resource capacity; thus the increase and encouragement of litigation.
The modern SJW seem like the caricature of the derided Athenian democrat: he makes clay-god of himself and dare to dictate to Heaven his will. The SJW are the "reformers" of the old, who shout "something must be done!" Examine any "reformer" and you will find head full of evil-ideas to destabilize a society. They demand social justice? Will they next command the Sun to stop her nuclear furnace?
Amazing post Thanks for sharing

One of the problems with being brainwashed is that you don't know you are!

'Zealots' mmmm, I like that word, will have to incorporate it into future posts. Thanks for your positive comment!

Case in point. You do see the irony of your comment, right?
lol
