As long as the Police represents authority people who crave authority will be attracted to the profession. I'm sure you can see the flaw, it's driven by the same forces that make action movies box office hits. In my worst interactions with the police I never did anything wrong, yet i was thrown around and called a liar. It's hard to talk about without some numb nuts accusing you of wanting to have all the police executed or some other Fox News stupidity.

That's the way these things get started. I can think of at least three things to do to make it seem scarier and more likely, like faking an RF ID tag in the plastic on the wire. It's easy to build big scary organizations that are concerned with the minutia of the location of their mask. It's as likely as QAnon.

The evangelicals pretend to be a religion but have no problem reinforcing misinformation from their pulpits, I've been there I've heard it.

Holy Hate: The Far Right’s Radicalization of Religion

Willow_Wisp comments on Aug 25, 2020:

Humans use projection, like the way the right keeps redefining everything, the BLM movement is portrayed as rioters. I see enough aggression in the right wing to suspect organized intentional criminal activities to project blame on peaceful protesters. I am sure misguided or confused people also spontaneously lash out, but that usually requires an event to escalate the mood. This would explain the scale and power of their imaginary enemies like QAnon and some kind of super secret but still runs everything antifa cabal. They're describing themselves when they do this. This is the marriage of American Christian Evangelical culture and the Republican party. We call it Trumpism.

Deconstruction Experience Question

Willow_Wisp comments on Aug 25, 2020:

I believed for a long time that God was "love" so to love was to experience God. Consequently there was no reason to exercise caution in matters of love and I'd throw myself all in. This is dangerous and leads to obsessive behavior. Love is just an emotion and validates nothing, but in my old religion love validates everything, even horse apples. Very dangerous for the believer and everyone they interact with.

a) No Christianities days are numbered. b) Christianity is already dead, like define it, if you can. With over 32,000 Christian denominations it's a certainty that Christians don't know what Christianity is. c) To become religion free will take political will because religion is just a political tool and nothing more. While the faith has dried up and blown away ages ago, the power structure is still tempting to ambitious little men. The entirety of the Republican party is exclusively based on American Conservative Christianity which adequately explains their overwhelming stupidity in Science, Logic, Debate, etc. After all they were in charge for a couple of millennia and literally nothing at all got done.

The kind of consideration an alt right white police officer isn't likely to notice until he's in jail awaiting trial for murder. I don't care about him really, I care about his victims, besides police don't seem to have the rational common sense to protect their own lives by NOT MURDERING INNOCENT PEOPLE! This will happen over and over unless there's serious reform... sorry captain obvious here.

We all embellish our stories, we almost have no choice, language being as limited as it is for communicating to our bored, distracted, uninterested fellow apes. We leave whole adventures out, or insert real adventures from another time into a current event to maintain interest. Sometimes we share stories other people told but we didn't hear correctly. There's as many ways to distort the truth verbally as there are to write scriptures. None of this should be surprising by now to anyone over the age of eight.

Question for you all concerning the terms atheist and agnostic.

Willow_Wisp comments on Aug 22, 2020:

I find just calling myself an atheist simplifies everything. I think agnostics are atheist in denial. I mean technically I am an agnostic because we know of no way to prove a non falsifiable claim, so in a sense the term is forced on me, when I don't believe there's a chance in hell there's truth to any of it. Despite some controversy I am convinced that the absence of evidence is evidence of absence.

Well, it happened. Someone that I respect is a Qanon believer. It's so fucking dumb. I just can't.

Willow_Wisp comments on Aug 19, 2020:

Look, there's an innate morality and it's not something that's learned. You can learn about other people, relate to them, then you'll gain empathy. Empathy is just your social hard wiring working, just as it does in a pack of wolves. They don't kill the omega wolf because someone knows they'll have to take it's place in the social hierarchy. Humans assume there just has to be a loser even children on a playground. Morality is a silly word akin to sin and salvation. If it performs any function at all it's exclusively poetic.

Human Character

People are animals, smart, sometimes loving, but capable of everything any other animal is capable of. Like: Caring for offspring. Being in a large social group. Working in a team. Killing offspring.
