Journalists are allowed to have their own opinions and biases. Some could like or dislike Biden. But Trump is another level. You have to be seriously compromised in the truth department to like Trump. Journalism is not a neutral profession like entertainment. Journalism requires truth and integrity.

They aren't animals, they are just fundamentalists and nationalists.

There is no comparison. No left politician lies like Trump.

Of course journalists hate Trump. Because a core value of journalism is truth and Trump lies 24/7. Notice that those in the news biz who like Trump are not serious journalists, they are hacks, entertainers, and grifters.

Yes, although slavery is much older than that so it's not like they invented slavery.

My mind is extremely stable.

Trippy

There's quite a big difference between a frog and a frogfish. Like the difference between a test and a testicle.

You make a good general point here. However, calling Trump post-modern is like calling a dog post-modern. That would be to give the dog too much intellectual sophistication.

They are not honest enough to even admit the evil. Never mind changing it. How hard is it to admit that America was a racist country in the past? That doesn't require any change of it.

Yes

They are identical in effect. Just isomers of each other. White DMT is not necessarily more pure than yellow DMT. Some people make the mistake of judging purity by whiteness.

That's true of conservatives in general. They have a fantasy of the past. Case in point: Last month Nikki Haley said that "America was never a racist country." And she is far from a Fascist. But that's how stupidly conservatives tend to think. Conservatives are in deep denial about the evils of their tradition and past. Because they see themselves as champions of it.

There are two different molecules of DMT, white and yellow.

The human mind is wired to either be strict or loose. The looser your mind the more prone you are to oddball mystical experiences and hallucinations. It works like an AI. You can tune an AI to hallucinate a lot or a little. And each comes with trade-offs.

I'm not a post-modernist. Post-modernism is dumb.

I never claimed that Trump is truly conservative. I said he is a demagogue. Look up what that means. Trump is conservative mainly in the sense that he has chosen conservatives as marks for his con, and if he gets power he will advance the conservative cause.

@Nilsi Your view of politics is so nutty that I am not going to explain much more to you. You have a lot of wrong ideas that require rethinking. Post-modernism is not a dog. Post-modernism is a philosophy. To be post-mordern requires having certain epistemic positions.

Tusli Gabbard is right-wing. She is a traitor to the left and deserves to be shamed and mocked by the left.

You could say that about any human capacity. However, humans are not endlessly flexible and our minds have certain genetic limits. This is especially true when it comes to mystical experience. Some people hear demonic voices talking to them, and that's not something you can just achieve through training. Or even if you could the amount of training required wouldn't be worth the effort. So you have to consider whether any training is a good return on investment for you. For me, practicing astral projection just never made sense.

Astral projection is not God-Realization. Don't confuse the two.

No. He is not a post-modernist. He's just a selfish con-artist demagogue. Such people have existed since the dawn of civilization. Trump is incapable of telling you what post-modernism is. Trump is not post-truth. He's just a liar. In the same way that a child stealing from a cookie-jar is not post-modern, he's just a liar.

This is not a good topic. Don't infect others with negativity and horror.

@Antor8188 Nice work!

Remember, all these things are relative. And you have some very strange placements there. Tulsi Gabbard is as left as Bernie and more left than Williamson? Haha
