They are all very lacking in empathy, as well as shame, integrity, and humility. They may not be exactly sub-human, but they are decidedly defective to the point of being unfit to serve as mutual citizens in a civilized society. They have CHOSEN incivility. Here is how the issue of acting-against-their-own-self-interest comes in. Their need for inclusion and conformity compels them to approve of actors and actions that generate negative consequences. By disregarding and tacitly approving the illegal actions, and whitewashing the impeachment, Trump was in place to screw up the pandemic response. We might be where other advanced countries are in minimizing the pandemic, but Trump is maximizing it instead. So here you have this idiot complaining that he is going out of business because the fool he endorsed was willing to sacrifice the livelihoods and the lives of those who supported him. And all that damage inflicted precisely because Trump is a psychotic narcissist, blindly hoping to bully a virus to win the election. The abject stupidity of the GOP is a wake-up call that yes, democracy doesn't work, albeit because the GOP are not honorable participants, not because of fraud.

I think it is important to understand the dynamics that gives rise to these people. We certainly want to understand why people will willingly give up reality for fantastical notions and coded expressions of hatred. In their hatred they are tempted toward aggression and violence. Trump has fostered belief in delusions and brainwashed so many that there are mass delusions, certainly mass hysteria, and perhaps mass hypnosis.

I read this and immediately changed my mind on the subject. [nbcnews.com] Thoughts?

racocn8 comments on Nov 18, 2020:

Trump's crimes against the country and its people are far too great to be excused. Biden will alienate as many Democrats as wooing Republicans. Republicans are mostly incapable of contrition or forgiveness to the point where reunification would occur. This would be another major case of letting extreme criminality go unpunished (as happened to Wall Street after 2008-9 meltdown) and would further destroy trust in gov't. Let justice be served as it should and put the would-be dictator in prison. Send a clear signal that crooks should not look to political office as a means to enrich themselves, or get a pardon for their crimes.

racocn8 comments on Nov 16, 2020:

At 44 seconds, the narrator asks "Are these Republicans not Americans." The answer is yes, these Republicans are NOT Americans, at least in the sense that they have loyalty to the country. Whatever loyalty they have comes after, way after, their loyalty to Donald Trump, then after their loyalty to the Republican Party, then after their hatred of Democrats, then, maybe, to the United States. But not really. That loyalty is conditional. Before loyalty to the country comes loyalty to their religion, which is all about lying and corruption. An election isn't fair or legitimate unless they got to cheat without penalty. They cheated in 2000 with the Supreme Court intervention, and then in 2004 with rigged tabulation software. They even killed the programmer to silence him. And, in 2016, they worked with the Russians, a hostile foreign adversary to mount a massive disinformation campaign. This installed Trump, who dutifully fulfilled his role as Putin's stooge, degrading and dismantling U.S. Government agencies and radicalizing vast swaths of Evangelical zombies. And when a closely monitored election does take place, with no evidence of ballot tampering, they refuse to admit the loss, mount a slew of baseless frivolous lawsuits, and parade in the streets to protest against actual democracy replacing the fascist we had.

Building bridges with people who share Trump’s views sends a clear message that you are willing to keep the peace at the expense of the dignity and well-being of those with less power and privilege."

It is highly likely that many of Trump's decisions on Covid (or lack thereof) came from Putin.

racocn8 comments on Nov 10, 2020:

Thanks, good summary. You are not alone, but it seems the world is closing in on Trump. Those that still support Trump after a clear election defeat are plainly saying this: The Constitutional process should be set aside for Trump, relying on a partisanship in the courts that are supposed to be party-free. The only way to save Trump is to subvert the democratic election. And that basically means the United States is dead as a democracy. As that realization dawns on his supporters, few people will risk their reputations on a sinking ship. We'll see.... (We knew it was going to be like this: complete chaos)

I would certainly vote for culture over religion as the basis for what is and isn't acceptable. That's the point: Our culture has progressed significantly in recognizing the level of respect that should be afforded to those that are different. Religion mostly does the opposite, teaching to fear the other, and that outsiders must either be converted or shunned. Religious morality is still mostly a reflection of pre-Technology Europeans with acceptance of slavery and cruel patriarchy as standard. Religious morality mostly lags cultural morality by at least a couple of centuries. Holding to cruel and simplistic values of religion is now understood as degenerate and indicates underlying psychopathy.

racocn8 comments on Nov 6, 2020:

racocn8 comments on Oct 30, 2020:

One of the challenges to secularists is dealing with the linguistic remnants of religion. Enormous numbers of words and phrases that are common parlance must either be discarded or redefined for a secular context. This confusion is commonly used by religionists as a segue to their proselytizing spiel. The word profane loses its metaphysical implication, which was always absurd anyway. It becomes synonymous with: vulgar, abusive, indecent, obscene.

Dissemination of lies needs to be controlled in some way, and when belief gets too extreme, it should become a public health issue.

When I was younger, I took several trips across the country. I'd listen to the radio, but too often, the only clear station was religious. The bile and vitriol spewed was sickening, particularly against scientists. That upset me because science was my interest. The Christian broadcasts made it abundantly clear that Christianity was all about hating the other, be they Blacks, Women, Jews, Catholics, LBGTX or even that other church up the street. I knew how Christians blamed Hitler on atheists or on Germans being German. They still do. It's like the Japanese who taught their children a wholly sanitized version of recent history. As I listened, I understood that the hate I heard must be pretty close to what happened in Germany. As I formed my non-belief, I recognized I was in a despised minority, and I mostly kept my identity secret. As I looked around to see all the Christian robots, incurious, schizophrenic, delusional, superficial and ignorant, I realized how these psychotic wanna-be mass murderers surrounded me. Fortunately, they were mostly docile, not triggered like they are today. We have been lucky that US Christians have been chastened a little bit by WWII, but this has fully faded. We remain fully enmeshed by Nazis. Yeah, I know, Godwin's Law. Trump is the exception; he really does have KKK roots and a long history of public and now private bigotry of the worst sort, as revealed by the tell-all books. Trump would be nothing without his followers.

The one thing one can say about God which is perfect is that no one can say anything about God with authority or proof. The one thing to be said about God which is perfect is that nothing can be said by anyone anywhere of any Truth. Nothing can be added to make this more complete. Anything that anyone says about to God is a perfect lie.

Christians are all about lying. Lying to themselves, lying to you, and lying to each other. It's a liar's club. The more outrageous the lie, the better. In pandering to them, Trump doesn't just tell lies; He tells whoppers. He is still clowning from a reality show. He's got the makeup, he's got the giant tie, now he needs the big flat shoes.

Careful! It is known that many of those Christians who are most vocal in denouncing homosexuality possess hidden homosexual tendencies.

Friend of mine from high school told me last night that she wishes i was close to god like she is.

Yeah, which god? Surely they don't mean the Christian god that was disproved by evolution 150 years ago?

The Decline of Religion Continues – Nones Gain 3 Percent in One Year – Religion in Public

racocn8 comments on Oct 9, 2020:

As I recall, studies of other countries suggest that, if the US follows suit, the Nones should continue to advance in their percent of population. Hopefully the ridiculous, corrupt and horrific failures of Trump will be linked to his Christian supporters. The effects of hating science show how people die as a result. And, as Trump goes, the cult of Christianity will also get a boot by younger generations. Let's hope. But also, we need to promote science education and promote clear, superstition-free thinking.

There may be more going on here than discrimination. Per the article: "several Muslim men who were approached by FBI agents and asked to inform on their congregations. When the men refused to comply, they were put on the “No Fly” list without justification". The FBI doesn't just harass Muslims for the fun of it. The FBI may not choose to reveal their sources and methods, but it is reasonable to believe that the FBI questioned these guys because they were involved in a plot. Either someone informed on them or their communications revealed terrorist activity. If the FBI sought to put would-be terrorists on a no-fly list, that makes perfect sense to me. It is up to AA to explain why they are interested in this case. While white supremacists are a much bigger problem, Muslim terrorism hasn't gone away.

Knowing he'd end up in a country club prison, a locked psychiatric ward would probably be preferable. Boot Hill even better, if he suffers beforehand.

The Hasidim broadly supported Trump in 2016. Most Conservative and Orthodox Jews support Republicans and behave in the same low information, psychotic and morally challenged way as evangelicals.

Unconditional love? Give me a break. I really feel sorry for people who feel obliged to pursue non-conformity and then have a problem with unwanted negative attention. And then there are people who have been brainwashed into a religion only to find themselves condemned by that belief. Especially when the belief pretends to welcome everyone. Mostly, these people need to find a secular organization that will help them get deprogrammed.

Apparently not all Republicans love the Donald. "We can all dream, can’t we?

I liked the last one. Conservatives willingly give complete allegiance to an unspeakable degenerate and then wonder why the rest of us write them off as also evil. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Once they came up with this hoax, they brainstormed for benefits. The one above is surely the weakest bit of silliness. The worst is Trump's statement that having it confers knowledge that books can't convey, but implying that his experience provides understanding that is *better* than books. Standard carny grifter rationalization.

The whole thing is a charade. He only tested positive after he found out about the tax records release and the terrible response to his debate performance. No real infection done to anyone - - Disgusting that they all play along. They must have had this contingency set up for a long time and were just waiting to use it.

I blame Ted Turner

racocn8 comments on Oct 4, 2020:

The positive covid test was yet another fake distraction. Let us get back to the tax evasion now and not wait. The presidents treason is also getting news from intelligence insiders. And let's keep hammering him with his cowardice in the face of a fair debate.

I understand his confoundment, how can someone be so callous and careless.

Trump says he has COVID-19. Is it a stunt?

racocn8 comments on Oct 3, 2020:

Don't forget the primary reason, that being able to duck the next two debates after badly losing the first one. If there is even a whiff of deception, and the general stench remains overpowering, he will be rightfully branded a coward. and a stupid coward at that. If Trump survives an actual infection, many people will see that as justice being cruelly thwarted once again.
