American Dream » Thu Feb 21, 2008 10:06 am wrote:I am OK with "Holocaust Revisionism" around the Nazi atrocities, to the point that we expand our solidarity, not shrink it. Meaning: The Nazi genocide against European Jews must not be forgotten, but it should be expanded to include all the victims, and most importantly, must include concrete action to end the ongoing atrocities, here and now. Doing this all suggests that we expand our view of History to accept the many, many holocausts which shaped our world. These are crimes against Humanity that have much to teach us. Thus, we can act more effectively on behalf of Human Rights, and Social Justice, here and now.

I'm probably breaking the rules by commenting here, but this is a deceptively powerful statement.

It's also incorrect. Or is that what you meant by "deceptively powerful"?

Oh I hope you do succeed keeping her on ignore. She is such a whacked out troublemaker. I have her and searcher on ignore and it is so nice not having to directly consider their constant crap anymore. Good luck. I will never take either off ignore no matter how awful or weird they get.

In my experience it is very much correct. In addition, people to whom it applies will be the most likely to negatively respond to the statement.

(edit: not a passive-aggressive dig, I don't know you well enough to make that assessment, but just a corollary which might be worth some consideration)

I have found out in my own lifetime numerous times that what I believed to be true was bullshit. I try not to take anyone's opinion too seriously, other than through parody or farce. Many times I have come here and been exposed to thing I would not otherwise have seen/thought. Overall I believe in the essence of this board because of Jeff, a handful of posters and the wonderful hardee har comity of the place!!!
I was wondering, gee...how much do trolls get paid? Do they go to troll school? Can't imagine doing it myself. But sadly, more than likely, I am an unwitting poser.

It begins with the recognition of some piece of the Octopus group, which basically opens the curtain to an oligarchy of psychopaths and thugs which use human beings like chess pieces - for example using child trafficking as a means to allow powerful people to indulge in depravity, and this depravity later becomes blackmail to ensure that person's obedience.

This is the deepest point that the mainstream media will go. One can stop digging at this point, and imagine that this group encompasses the entirety of the conspiracy.

One would like to restrict the conspiracy to the above group, because it keeps our current model of reality intact. But unfortunately it does not explain the entirety of events and phenomena.

Now it's easy to understand what drives almost all of us to love the conveniences and advantages of living inside our own technology, and how this tends toward "the singularity" all on its own. (Hey, we're only looking to keep everyone entertained with access to all the arts dating back to Homer, cure cancer, and administrate a production and transport system that minimizes deaths through the process, here!) But what is it that drives a few people to wittingly want to replace all humans, including themselves? It's a species of suicidal and global misanthropy, but one curiously void of actual hatred, detached... in short, sociopathic. At the same time, deeply religious, with a fanatical tendency, a cult if not of outright extinction then one certainly willing to risk it (or to laughably minimize the risk) on behalf of these future beings. You hear people want to confer rights to life and a superior mindset to as yet theoretical beings that we do not actually need to create. There's a mystical inevitabilism, a desire for teleology.
