How is it that mankind is so evil? Just look at history and it's all war and slavery.”<br /><br />Men are evil to the extent that they live in fear and selfishness. The antidote to fear and selfishness is love and compassion. But…how can we have love and compassion in a dark and hopeless world? <br /><br />Perhaps the dark and hopeless world is what makes love and compassion so valuable. If we lived in utopian paradise, then acts of love and compassion would be routine. They would not be magnificent. <br /><br />Suppose for a moment that we knew for certain that there is an after-life. In that case, our acts of love and compassion would not be truly compassionate. They would be mere investments or business transactions that we do in the hope of receiving some kind of compensation in some kind of after-life. Acts of love and compassion only become magnificent when we don’t know if there’s an after-life. <br /><br />Even if our acts of kindness make no difference, we do them anyway, because that’s how we choose to be. <br /><br />We cannot defeat evil in the world; only in ourselves through acts of love and compassion, whether or not we will ever have any recognition or reward. <br /><br />We do not act kindly out of fear of hell, nor desire for heaven. We do it because that’s who we choose to be. <br /><br />Evil people are those who choose to deny all this. Since they choose to lack empathy compassion, they are selfish cowards. They are cruel little termites.Konradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739209449391854796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-79213192258404839522018-05-03T17:38:39.438-04:002018-05-03T17:38:39.438-04:00The whole “Russia!” thing is a big gay/anti-gay th...The whole “Russia!” thing is a big gay/anti-gay thing...Matt Frankohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978352335097260145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-19209677878229334322018-05-03T17:37:15.078-04:002018-05-03T17:37:15.078-04:00Samantha Power was all over Russia’s shit when she...Samantha Power was all over Russia’s shit when she was at the UN:<br /><br />https://www.google.com/amp/www.washingtonblade.com/2017/01/11/samantha-power-lgbt-rights-struggle-must-be-waged-internationally/amp/Matt Frankohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978352335097260145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-75103320441906350432018-05-03T16:58:05.280-04:002018-05-03T16:58:05.280-04:00If there is no counterbalance to neoliberalism, th...If there is no counterbalance to neoliberalism, then we are heading back to the Medieval Dark Ages.

Putin is very conservative and that did bother me. He dislikes Pope Francis for his liberal Christian views. <br /><br />The West is pure evil. Maybe the ruling class in all nations are like that? A terrifying world if there are no good guys. <br /><br />The US would terrify anyone, because they are saying they are so mental they would blow up the world.

Repeat: ALL of them...<br /><br />[1] It must heavily lean toward neoliberalism, such that it creates a vast gulf between its rich and poor citizens. It must worship privatization, financialization, debt, austerity, and bankers. <br /><br />[2] It must worship the “holocaust” and all Israeli atrocities <br /><br />[3] It must pledge to assist the Western Empire in all the Empire's wars of imperial conquest<br /><br />[4] It must pledge to exclusively buy the Empire’s weapons and industrial products<br /><br />Any failure to fulfill ALL these categories will not be tolerated by the Empire. <br /><br />Moammar Gadhafi, for example, was moving forward in these categories, but he failed to fulfill requirement #2. Therefore the Empire eliminated him and his society. <br /><br />On a different note, the Western Empire is so boundlessly evil, and is the cause of such immeasurable suffering, that we are tempted to regard Russia, for example, as a force for goodness. This delusion causes us to feel frustrated and disappointed. Russia is merely a competitor. If Russia was a force for goodness, it would stop to the destruction of Yemen, for instance. It would checkmate the Western Empire’s theft of one third of Syria for the creation of Kurdish “Rojava” (aka Israel 2.0) east of the Euphrates River. <br /><br />Granted, Russia rolled up the US-led proxy war against the Syrian government and people, but morality was irrelevant to this. Russia was simply looking after its own interests. <br /><br />If Russia can look after its interests by joining the Empire of Evil, then Russia will join the evil. Russia is not our savior. I know it's tempting to hope otherwise, but it's not realistic.Konradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739209449391854796noreply@blogger.com
