Really, Islam is a success story of gatekeeping? You really don’t know anything about Islam if you think they are successful at gatekeeping. Why are there Sunnis and Shiites if they’re so good at gatekeeping? Why does every caliphate have to mass execute other Muslims if they’re so good at gatekeeping? If your only solution is to kill everyone that disagrees with you then you’re not “gatekeeping” because you have no more of an argument than any democrat. Hilarious that someone would accuse me of being atheist, how well are you gatekeeping your church?
The church is an even better example. Failure to gatekeep lead to sodomites and degenerates and women into the ranks of the clergy to the point that we have the litany of moral failures we have now.
It all leads back to failure to gatekeep.
As for killing everyone, hardly, it's simply denial and ejection, that's what gatekeeping is. Execution is, however, how you eject someone from society. Well I suppose we could revive the concept of outlawry, that was effective back in the day.
woah woah woah,
if gatekeeping works, why aren't you gatekeeping your church?
This is a nonsense statement, and one that entirely ignores the statement being made. Let me rephrase it for you.
The church is a further example of something that should have been gatekept. Failing to do so has resulted in many denominations falling to wickedness and degeneracy.
Our society is in ruins not because, as you seem to suggest, because we don't use "pathos" enough to manipulate women. It is ruins because we don't make the effort to identify and deal with the wicked before they can get their teeth in.
Again, if gatekeeping works, why are you not doing it? I never made the argument we need to use pathos, that is the biggest failure of the modern age. The complete removal of pathos is the only rational way to counter a pathos exclusive argument. Your retardation and constant claims that "gatekeeping" works only goes to show your 1. cowardice to take action if you truly believed it and 2. that you are arguing in bad faith.
And then it collapses on itself, fractures out and repeats. This is why “gatekeeping” doesn’t exist, it’s a purity spiral.
You’re looking at it the wrong way, to me gatekeeping is a weak man’s solution to a complex problem. If we start on the basis there is an objective universal truth, then rational thought should always be able to reach that truth. This is also part of the religious perspective as we are inherently flawed creatures, so only through constant strife and perseverance can we continue to reach towards objective truth. This can be seen as the opposite of a purity spiral, you take in everything and constantly rationalize your perspective against the information we can perceive. This creates a better defined argument and a stronger resolve over time, which can easily be seen in Christian intellectuals. When you gatekeep, you limit yourself to only the knowledge you find acceptable, this does not provide objective truth, but subjective truth, and is no different than a feminist screaming “my truth” as that is her religion. I believe this universe was created and therefore has an objective truth, as such it is our duty to verify and present that truth to others.
