It's been an academic trick to stop unwanted speakers for years. If they step out of line, or the video can be edited to look that way, the school can say the actions were unwanted and encouraged violence.
Socrates was pushed to suicide for basically just trying to get others to understand how intricate and wondrous the world was, and how little knowledge was truly known. Human nature hasn't changed much, in the mean time.
The evil of telling a Christian not to mourn for the friend you murdered because he's with God new tells you the level of demonic evil you are dealing with.
I don't believe in God, but the Left is convincing me of Demonic possession.
I don't know about that.. genuine worship of God is just keeping him in your conscious thoughts. Having holy symbols on your person and home usually is to serve as a reminder to keep him in thought.
Replace the holy symbolism with demonic and redirect your conscious thoughts towards the demonic and I'd say that is worship in some sense.
I come from a background of Hinduism and Christianity... While overseas I went to mandir and chatted with the pandit about various topics. His view of all the rituals, mantras, and everything within Hinduism is basically just respectful guided prayer... But he actually places that below simply keeping God in your daily thoughts.
There's no functional difference because ultimately it is one actions that define an individual, not their intentions. "I didn't mean it" is a childish excuse.
B) Even if you attribute the harm to, say, thrashing during night terrors or something and insist that he's misremembering certain details about how he may have accidentally hurt himself, or how lightly his wife and dogs sleep, then who's to say night terrors aren't evidence of some demonic thing? We don't know what causes night terrors. How do you know it can't possibly be the effects of a spiritual attack? When you say "he just had night terrors," what you're really saying is "he just woke up in a stressed, suffocating, anxious state, feeling as though he'd been attacked. This occurred for reasons I can't explain, but because I slapped a modern name on the phenomenon, it can't possibly be anything spiritual."
We do know what causes some aspects of night terrors because one of the reasons you can't move is because you're asleep. The nerves going to your hands and feet are not firing while you brain is dreaming, and so in the dream it feels like you can't move, or that you are trapped, or that you're under a weight. It's probably what turns it into a nightmare because the paralysis is scary and you don't know what's going on.
You are demanding a material science measure a metaphysical, spiritual, assertion that you're making, and acting like random assertion your making is clearly real because it can't be disproven.
All I can tell you is that night-terrors are actually something we've observed, recorded, and studied for quite some time now. Including videos of people having night terrors, but there clearly not being any shadow figures laying on top of them.
He had a nightmare. Yes, it was scary. Yes, I have sympathy for him because it is very scary. I'd be scared to, so would you, that's one of the things we know about it. No, it's not a demon.

I think you’ve confused night terrors with sleep paralysis. They’re not the same thing.
Anyway, no, I’m not “demanding a material science measure a metaphysical assertion.” I’m merely pointing out that, as you say, our current understanding of night terrors doesn’t disprove spiritual elements, and can’t, and yet your previous comment only works if you assume that it does and can.
Personally, I’m not a particularly spiritual person. I find the demon explanation hard to swallow. But it can’t be definitively dismissed in the way you did, because what you cited as proof of a mundane explanation could just be giving a mundane name to a spiritual problem.
No, I'm not confusing them, I'm saying night terrors have sleep paralysis.
current understanding of night terrors doesn’t disprove spiritual elements
Nothing can, it's an unfalsifiable claim. It would be no different from me claiming that it was an implanted memory from an interdimensional alien; or that it was the karmic response to all the negative emotion sent to him by angry leftists.
Great way to put it. It's a corruption of your soul. And it's something that is extremely difficult to bounce back from once you allowed it to overtake you.
Yes it is, the issue is who you are giving empthy to and why. [INSERT HEAT MAP HERE]
You give empathy for terrorists, durg dealers, rapists, arsonists, and pedophiles, but NOT to a family man who told you to stop supporting those killers over your family and neighbors, and at the detriment to your families and neighbors. NOT to a family man that pissed you off so much for telling you that you shot him in the throat.
"but I didn't..."
You're a collectivist. Take your collectivist guilt with your collectivist pride, faggot.
Don't appeal to liberal individualism when you shoot us for it.
On r/shitpoliticssays (one of the last sane subreddits), someone pointed out the use of empathy is stupid - that word has been overblown and abused by the left.
What we should have, is something called "rational compassion" - I think this is a more proper term because it means before you express your "empathy" or caring for something, you thought it through and made sure what you are being sympathetic for makes sense.
Basically, facts before feelings, using your brain before you let the emotional part of you to take over.
Can't find the post but it was a term coined by an academic writer that opposed far left wing "empathetic" causes.
Technically appears to be true, psychologically. Frontline emergency workers who are put through successive high impact emotional events do show emotional deadening and report lower degrees of empathy thereafter until being allowed a period of recovery. Empathy fatigue is real.
Which is why that heat map should be focussed at home and with family, if you don't have infinite empathy, it should be doled out first to those you directly love and owe thanks to.
I guess I'm explaining how it is non-material, but I guess it's possible that metaphysics can have scarcity without material existence.
As you say, the point is about prioritization. The reason that Leftists are conditioned NOT to prioritize friends and family is for ideological adherence to abstract concepts.
Though I'm an idealogue myself, I see the purpose of ideology as purely as a model of which to view reality in order to best operate in the world. Serving an ideology for the purposes of serving an ideology is simply madness (or ideological possession).
This is a real tangent at this point but I'm forever extolling the physicality of thinking. Every thought is the outcome of actual physical work done by an organ. Thus empathy does have a material existence, in so much as it is a specific pattern of released neurotransmitters. It sounds like semantics but it has real implications once you get into the weeds of it.
As a metaphysical concept empathy can indeed be theoretically constant and infinite. As a physical neurotransmitter cascade it at the very least has a maximum intensity and a minimum cycle time, and in more detailed examination appears to also trigger temporary adaptation mechanisms that lead to diminishing returns for the same magnitude of stimulus.
Sometimes keeping sight of the physical constraints of the central nervous system is the missing key in modeling behaviors
Yes, this is a fair assessment, but I'd think of it more in economic terms, rather than energy, but the outcome is still the same. Thinking is the very first step of a capital investment that allows you to make more efficient and productive choices.
Thinking forever about something and not doing it is no different than assigning a price to something for only the amount of work you put into it (IE the labor theory of value). The effectiveness of your capital investment is only valid if it makes something more productive or efficient, NOT because you did it.
This is why intellectualism is inherently bad. If the only thing you are doing is thinking, but never producing anything from that thought, then you have done nothing of value.
Empathy can work the same way, where you can expend time, energy, and cognitive load on something that will never actually benefit you directly. I like listening to the Lotus Eaters, even to the point where I will pay them money, but I have zero impact on British governance. They must always be a secondary concern to my actual work and immediate environment.
What harm did he cause? Going to college campuses and asking socratic questions to those of a different political ilk isn't causing harm.

He made lefties feel bad. You know, like when you talk back to your step-dad and he punches you in the mouth. Your fault.

Sure, but remember who I am. I come from Atheism and Anti-Semitism.
All of the Satanic imagery exists to piss you off and make you aghast. It's a mockery of you, not a genuine expression of worship to a deity.
"Thou hast called me into Narnia, Rishda Tarkaan. Here I am. What hast thou to say?"
-Tash, the demon. Spoken before abducting the non-believer who invoked his name to oppress Narnians.
An untrue, but clearly poetic, point.
Don't play with evil, it doesn't play well with others.
Just because it's fictional doesn't mean it's not true. On the contrary, the best fiction works because it resonates with the truth.
When it's fictional it means it's literally not true, even if it's metaphysically true.
I don't know about that.. genuine worship of God is just keeping him in your conscious thoughts. Having holy symbols on your person and home usually is to serve as a reminder to keep him in thought.
Replace the holy symbolism with demonic and redirect your conscious thoughts towards the demonic and I'd say that is worship in some sense.

I think that's more about Aesthetics, which I would agree has a major impact.

Tucker ran into a demon and his whole perspective on shit changed
Which incident specifically?
He didn't, he just had night terrors. it's shockingly common.
A) He describes physical harm that seems beyond normal night terrors.
B) Even if you attribute the harm to, say, thrashing during night terrors or something and insist that he's misremembering certain details about how he may have accidentally hurt himself, or how lightly his wife and dogs sleep, then who's to say night terrors aren't evidence of some demonic thing?

Do you have a link to this? I would love to see it.

He talked it in a documentary or something.
Look at his show topics now, there's been a few episodes talking about possession, demons, attacks on Christianity, the Bible etc.
I've noticed a lot of secular people are saying that as well. Even fucking TIM POOL said that, pretty much along the same lines.
The rot that is spreading through the left is something 100% spiritual, a demonic evil has taken over their souls and it's spreading like the plague.
Demonic possession is just letting weakness and evil fester in your heart until it consumes you. This is true whether you believe in God or not
I believe this 100%. I think this is happening society-wide. NPC-trained people, and pharma zombies are especially susceptible to it.
Can't disagree.
Great way to put it. It's a corruption of your soul. And it's something that is extremely difficult to bounce back from once you allowed it to overtake you.
It's an old thing. Those caught up in the ideology could not let it go and destroyed each other than forgive.
So many histories like it.
Go look up Jerry Marzinski. It's real, and they're real. Look up the pages from the tranny school shooter - he wasn't just being crazy.
I love it when leftists quote the Bible out of context.
You can tell he really believes the words by the way he quotes from two different, contradictory faiths that have a history of animosity.

I really don't think encouraging going Old Testament is the win they think it is.
This is the smug atheist meme again
literally a smuggie
