It just appeared in my feed recently probably because we're getting close to Christmas, it's a scene from Terry Pratchett's The Hogfather (which I highly recommend watching along with the colour of magic and going postal) starts at 1:50 and Death just highlights the importance of belief and faith for humans.
I think it's very apt as this is what the left have been doing to fantasy in the West for years, by injecting politics into franchises, shortening childhood innocence by applying gender bullshit to them and using them as props in their own campaigning, they're robbing children of being able to live with fairytale and fantasy, the little lies of life, so that we can believe the bigger lies later on like mercy, justice, duty etc.
I think this is the difference between the left and right currently, the left abandoned fantasy to always live in 'reality' but because of that there is no belief inside them. It's why they think we'd go door to door killing them since we won because why WOULD mercy exist, it isn't a thing in reality. Why would ANY authorities have a duty to serve the people, why should THEY expect justice from the other side. The right might be too believing at times but it's far more constructive than this view on life.
It's more nihilistic view on life then even I can ever match when you abandon all fantasy and explains all their current freakouts beyond just attention seeking.
So you're talking about religious faith? I just want to make sure I understand you.
Doesn't have to be. Real Humanism requires the same thing, it's what I'd be if I wasn't religious.
I agree with you but I'm just a bit of a nitpicker to make sure I understand people correctly. Because these people have very strong beliefs. But they are extremely static and closed off beliefs while imagination and creativity requires an open/playful mind.
They don't have strong beliefs that's sort of the point. Their beliefs are clunky and mundane, they don't stand up to comparison or to logic.
Comsmicly they're cave people beliefs, ones centered around how to divide the berries because they can dream that the stars are reachable. Base.
Indoctrination isn't the same thing as strong belief, nor is abject stupidity.
If you're Christian your own religion does not stand up to logic. Logic is not a requirement for a belief. You're talking about imagination.
