The epitome of self-bias:

 

A couple years ago I used to follow the conservative media.  One day I had the sudden idea that I should cross reference it with other news sources.  I was concerned about media bias and thought that I was being misled.  After comparing different sources, I found drastic contradictions.

I watched the conservative media laugh and make fun of the left for being insane babies.  I remember the idea "facts don't care about feelings.". the worst idea was "make them cry again."  I can never take these ideas seriously. These mobs are worse than the mobs they condemned before. 

I started buying into this media when I thought they were smart.  Sometimes I think I am stupid because of ever thinking they were smart.  This was when I only saw what they wanted me to see.  I am worried about what other people would think if they realized that at some point I followed this media.  I judge myself because I think others would judge me.  I also don't express my thoughts very often because I am worried that my thoughts would hurt people.  As a result I was usually silent with my thoughts.

For some reason I don't want to forgive myself.  I will keep working on this because it doesn't make sense to not forgive my ignorance and it is counter productive to not love myself.  At least I am ready to be grateful that my intuition stopped from going any further down that rabbit hole I found in 2017.  I felt that there was more value in studying spirituality than in consuming the conservative media.

Amazon Web Services gonna shut down Parler tommorow night, Parler is gonna be down for a week. Some great news.

Parler is gonna become a toxic and radioactive Neo-Nazi haven worse than 4chan within a week and every major company will cut ties with it, including payment processors and web hosts. At which point Parlor will be as good as dead. And the FBI, CIA, and NSA will infiltrate it to make arrests and perhaps even shut it down.

Parlor now is gonna very rapidly spiral out of control is flagrant racism, conspiracy theory, treason, and terrorism.

What these right-wingers don't understand is that the moderation of Silicon Valley elites was the one thing keeping their movement sustainable -- by keeping the most toxic elements suppressed. Without this moderation MAGA will destroy themselves with their own hatred, fear, and racism.

Funny because that guy reminded me of the Forsworn from Skyrim.

@Husseinisdoingfine That's a good one too. Less epic though.

I just had an aha! moment. 

Terrorist cults, such as the Maga cult, are not sustainable because we, as a society, have collectively agreed to “cancel” people and groups who act the way they did. 

Trump may still be president for a few more days. But we collectively took all his power away already. The society we have created has rules (not talking about laws, but rules), and he and his cult broke all of them. They are over. We expelled them from our internet bubble because what they did was heinous. 

I think they haven’t yet realized the gravity of what they have done.

I had recently finish reading Mein Kampf actually.

In the Nazi ideology, Communism is not a legitimate working class movement, but rather a Jewish plot. They also tend to believe that Capitalism and Communism/Socialism are both the same sides of the (Jewish) coin.

Very sad that ignorant young people who don’t have community or associations in their lives are turning to these ideologies. 
 

When you don’t have community, you will find an unhealthy community as that is what your lizard brain demands, this is why PURPLE is so important.

In Hitler's case the community he did latch onto was the camaraderie he developed for his fellow soldiers during the horrific conditions of World War 1, which was a formative experience not only for him but for an entire generation of Germans.

When the news broke that Germany lost the World War, Hitler was in a hospital bed recovering from wounds he received during a chemical weapons attack. He was informed that Germany had lost the war because 'socialists had taken over the state' and 'stabbed the army in the back', and the news broke him. The extent of how badly the war was going for Germany was hidden from the population, and the idea that the German army was stabbed in the back was a popular Conspiracy Theory going around which absolved the military leadership of its responsibility for losing the war. Add to this the fact that Allied armies never advanced into Germany, and the news of Germany's defeat came as a shock to many people.

Not hard to see how the bitterness and resentment from that could develop into a Toxic Life Purpose.

Nazi Ideology didn't really have any defining characteristics besides it's ethnic cleansing ethos. It's silly when people compare them to socialists or any sort of economical theory because that is hardly what they were about and didn't really develop one of their own.

Pence is in an abusive relationship with Trump. He has battered woman syndrome and/or Stockholm syndrome. Poor guy...

A new year special about authoritarianism wearing that costume would definitely make you the next president! Or maybe Conscious Politics part 5 ?

Omg I can't wait for the thumbnail.
