  1. How self-biased that yours was earned and mine was not. Kudos for me but not for thee.
  2. You have this nasty habit of accusing me of things. The issue is not trans people. The issue is that leftists have silly policy ideas which are both impractical and deeply unappealing to average people. I disagree. I do not see it as concession to call out bad ideas on my side. I am not going to be loyal to bad ideas just because I might agree with some on the right. No, I am not stupid. I don't proclaim to want freedom. I want greater equality at the cost of freedom. That's the trade-off lefties gladly make. I don't cloak myself in the banner of freedom because that's a thing for juveniles.
  3. Only if you admit that you were on your knees gobbling up that pussy: "You are sticking it right in the heart with a sickle knife with your points - that the value of life and consciousness is higher than truth."
  4. No. Freedom does not guarantee equality nor law. Freedom is literally anything goes. Nazis camps are an exercise of freedom. The left are masters are banning any expression that deviates from their sense of normal.
  5. It's not moving the goalposts. Many progressives and leftists are socialists and would implement socialism if not resisted and stopped by force. I don't have a rhetorical strategy. I am not a politician. I analyze what is real and what are delusional and unworkable ideas about reality.
  6. Has it occurred to scientists that there is no point in asking questions when you already know all the answers?
  7. I don't have a problem with illusion. But that doesn't mean I will corrupt myself with bad ideas like socialism. You can't leverage God or spirituality to get me to accept silly political ideas. But nice try.
  8. No. There is no freedom. Truth is Absolute. Nothing about reality can be free.
  9. The right-wing has leftists beat on the freedom frame. Leftism is not about freedom, it is about equality. Libertarians are for freedom. And libertarians are stupid for it. What you want is less freedom and more equality.
  10. 1) The left is not effective. 2) I don't care about effective. I care about what is true and real. False ideas are not effective in the end. Which is why socialism failed.
  11. Obviously this cannot be true. Since then God could never let a single fly die. The existence of death proves that truth is more important than life or feelings. You will never find a value higher than truth. Because truth is God. Any value you place above truth is corruption. See, you ladies have so corrupted yourselves with feelings that you have lost touch with the truth that God created death and torture. If your position was true, death and torture could not exist. But since you don't care about truth, I guess that little detail doesn't bother you. If truth was not the absolute highest value, all of reality would collapse into incoherence. Which is why God must be Truth. God has to hold reality together just so you could have life. Truth is more fundamental that human life. Obviously. Because a human life is worth no more than the ant you stepped on on your way to work. But what do you care? As long as you got your life you don't care. That's how corrupt you are.
  12. You are being too vague, loose, and self-serving with your characterization of your position. Claiming you are for freedom is a meaningless generality. Are you for freedom for children to own grenades? Are you for freedom from taxation? Are you for freedom from government regulating my businesses? The right claims to be for freedom, you claim to be for freedom. What does freedom have to do with tax-payers funding tampons in men's bathrooms? What does freedom have to do with high taxes and massive budget deficits? What does freedom have to do with defunding police and military? What does freedom have to do with banning firearms? What does freedom have to do with vaccine mandates? What does freedom have to do with banning gasoline cars and offshore oil drilling? What does freedom have to do with racial hiring quotas? What does freedom have to do with forcing me to pay for government mandated health insurance with shitty doctors? What does freedom have to do with defunding police and calling cops racist pigs? You want me to blindly defend leftist ideology because you have convinced yourself you are the good guys fighting the bad guys. I see it as ideology and self-bias. So I am not interested. Just because you think you are for freedom and goodness doesn't mean you are. Besides, freedom is not some absolute good. Healthy society is built on restriction of freedoms.
  13. Again, not necessarily. Corruption is a relatively independent variable. You could be corrupt in various ways at any stage.
  14. Not necessarily. There are too many variables to generalize it like that. Individuals vary.
  15. The leftist worldview is corrupt. My job is to teach that. So I will continue to do my job even as the left whines, as they always do. Nothing new there.
  16. I don't particularly have a problem lying to others. That is irrelevant to the truth that actually matters. Human honesty is not the same as truth. But what I will not do is play along with false leftist ideology just because you want to win elections. In fact, what you're not seeing is that the falsehood of leftist ideology will lose you elections. So in typical fashion, when you make your deal with the devil thinking it will win you power, you will lose both the truth and your election, and end up with nothing. I don't claim to have perfect integrity, but I have enough to find your proposal disgustingly corrupt and it takes no effort for me to refuse it. Yes, you should know that I would sacrifice human life for truth. Isn't that obvious by now?
  17. To place political activism over truth is the definition of corruption. It is sad that you are not conscious enough to understand something so obvious.
  18. You guys want me to sacrifice truth for your political activism, which I will never do. I am sorry you don't understand why.
  19. Ralston tells a story of a monk who wrote a book that the Church did not like. The Church imprisoned him and told him to renounce his book or they would kill him. He said No. They came back to him the next day and said, We will let you live, but we have rewritten your book to make it sound better. If you accept this rewrite of your book, we will let you live. He said No. They came back to him the next day and said, We have figured out how to reframe your philosophy so it no longer contradicts the Church, just sign on to this reframe and we will let you live. He said No. So they killed him. That is a Good man. And anything less is corruption.
  20. @Emerald If you consider Tucker Carlson goodness, I would rather live in Hell with Satan.
  21. That's a cute story to justify your corruption. The problem isn't that you lie to others. The problem is that as a leftist you lie to yourself.
  22. How much more fucking advanced can he get? His students already don't understand him.
