I know I need to get off of facebook, but I have a ton of cousins and it is the best way to keep in touch with everyone but I really need to stop reading comments on things.
I got sucked into a little argument because someone posted about George Floyd. I guess he was angry because he along with other "protesters" from the summer of love were being told that they worship Floyd and he took exception to that because he said speaking out against police brutality. I told him that it was possible to be against police brutality while also not making a martyr out of people. Like giving Floyd a golden casket funeral like he was some medal of honor winner during the "deadly" covid pandemicthat apparently didn't affect rioters. Also asked him why they don't bother to examine the actual facts of these shootings since pretty much all of them involve not listening to the cops or resisting.
Long story short he wasn't thrilled with that. I asked if he fought against police brutality when Tony Tympa died (of course he hadn't heard of him) and when I mentioned David Dorn he said that Dorn wasn't killed by peaceful protesters.
Long story short he told me I was following white supremacist talking points and blocked me when I said that apparently white supremacy means not doing things that attract the cops.
I still don't understand why people don't realize you can be against police brutality and hold cops accountable while also not worshipping people and making them saints. Interesting how the whole "you can't talk about their past" rules went out the window with Ashli Babbit.
It's easier fooling people than convincing them of being duped. Attempting such becomes far more difficult when they're fooled into revering their chains. You may as well consider salvation for them as a fool's endeavor. No amount of information or education will cure foolishness. Only harsh lessons from suffering suffice.
There is no nuance when it comes to people unable to think for themselves. Not only are their minds easily captured and enraptured, they are unaware of it. Even if they reach awareness, the rationalization of sunk costs will keep them anchored. Everyone within their social sphere should also bound to the stake of collective narcissism. Cults do not tolerate dissidence. Therefore, anything contradicting the collective view must be discarded, lest their false self idol shatter. Their perception of reality changes upon the whims of their feelings. They mistake what they feel as thinking. Hence, why I describe the cult of social justice as collective narcissism. It perfectly captures the Narcissitic Personality Complex (NPC) behavioral process and actions.
