I think the meaning has been altered,or it just comes to you in the present light. The progressive project and its apparent neomaxism and dare I say godless motives, to be the angles.This psychopathy has played out before.A binary I acted on, either your on the side of freedom or "fascism". Being combat vets and 2A supporters if your delusions were real,we would be armed by your side in support,but we,well some of us had seen through the manipulation.,the propaganda,and the lies. I had mentioned before we know what you'll as but worse we know how you think. A Case study,I beilve decade old news.

Good for you, you can interpret richravizza. The reality is that zero of what he posts is of any use to anyone smarter than a turtle. Of course he offers a nonstop stream of contradictions for jakee to dissect, but then who doesn't? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a problem that Key adjectives, ideas and their conversations never happen.Let's face it Academia is a far cry from a 50/50 mix of political ideology.The craziest of Lefties don't need protection like those on the right and if they managed to pay the bill to exercise "free" speech,lol then the heckler's veto is the left's appropriate tool to silence that speech.

Perhaps you latched onto godless motives, I meant that of the past Leftist Totalitarianisms, an arrogance of the old soviets higher man or a new year zero,just said in passing.An irony, No offence. Woke had good intentions and good to pursuit.Good ideas were manipulated and they became poisonous, like a well.

If all the non leftist academics are being silenced then how come you keep posting freely available YouTube videos from right wing academics? Why are you determined to feel like a victim when you’re clearly not being victimised? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll pull your keys; see if it opens something. Your Reality lol... I'm a turtle? Perhaps...it's just in your nature. A man I Respect recently told me that "Life is Short". I'll add, the world is overflowing with words, you chose turtle...lol you're just as much fun as Jakee.I think we're working it out, the resentments and contention for something deeper, dare I say companionship and individualism.I would appreciate if you call me fool,an upgrade. But I can I play the left wing authoritarian too...lol. I doubt you're even able to read my posts.. tucked into your "watertight edifices". The wiseman and the fool are not two beings but one in consciousness, contradictions abound. A wise man could treat the fool as an ignorant child ignorance as innocents,a motive a strategy to find his inner peace.I'm cool with playing by your rules, I'm not trying to win. Arguing with a fool can be a reflection everybody has one as everybody is one. I might have inadvertently quoted something in Alan Watts,"Don't argue with a Fool" my apologies, but even the title is a contradiction.You like analogies personified. "Realize when you're arguing with a fool you're like a man trying to teach a fish to climb a tree,you both end up frustrated and the fish still swims away.There is a way to deal with such madness.We live in a world overflowing with words, everyone wants to be right,everyone wants to win,yet no one stops to ask what are we exactly trying to win.For if you win an argument but lose your peace what have you've gained nothing of real value.The fool,the true fool is not someone ignorant or uninformed,no ignorance is innocent.The fool is the one who believes he already knows. He clings to his beliefs like a drowning man, clutching a piece of driftwood and when you try and take it away he'll fight you,not because he's evil,but because that piece of driftwood is his identity.So when you argue with him you're not fighting over facts you're fighting over his sense of self and that my friends is a battle no one can win.The fools mind, closed and noisy like a full glass of water, no matter how pure the truth. When you speak truth to such a mind, the truth simply spills out. So how do we deal with such a mind.How do be deal with a fool without becoming one ourselves...The secret lies not in confrontation but in understanding...the wise man sees through the madness."
