How do we know he didn't?
My grandma and grandpa were faithful believers in Jesus. Only one of their 3 children are Christian. One is a far left "unitarian", the other goes to methodist church that doesn't teach the Bible and there doesn't seem to be evidence of faith, and my dad is a strong Christian believer.
You can be the best parent in the world and that's no guarantee that your children will turn out well.
It's your responsibility to raise your children correctly, but the children have responsibility to listen and take the good advice too. And some children have the intent to do evil.
We have many stories in the Bible of moral fathers who had one child that was godly and another who was not. Jacob and Esau for example, sons of Isaac.
With Elon, he's not a Christian so by nature he couldn't give the best guidance compared to if he had them in the word of God, but without knowing way more than we know, there's no reason to assume he encouraged this path.
Some kids would prefer to receive the approval of the woke culture over the approval of their parents and no matter what you say or do, the will of that child to go their own way can't be stopped.
Do you understand how the courts and child custody work?
As much as you guys rag on Impossible1, some of you could use some educating from him.
85% of what he says is completely true. It's just he takes things too far and comes to wrong conclusions with that last 15%.
Look up GirlWritesWhat aka Karen Straugn, and 6oodfella and watch their videos and then you'll understand feminism and what rights men actually have in this country particularly when it comes to their children vs their wives.
Agreed. I can't believe he's still a thing.
I saw some of that Boogie2298 cancer drama coverage and saw that Destiny was on these streams and people were acting like it was a big deal and I just don't get it.
I know it sounds like an SJW thing to say, but you cannot have a competent debate with someone who truly holds leftist values.
I know this paints with a broad brush like reddit's "All cops are bad" or "all white people are implicitly white supremacist", but in the case of leftists it's true, for the same reason Scientologists don't engage in debates, or Mormons.
Because when a belief is completely outside of reality, the person holding that belief falls into 1 of 2 categories.
-
The ignorant and the blind, who when faced with countering viewpoints, would rather just shut the whole thing down with rhetoric and cognitive dissonance rather than face some uncomfortable truths. Many on the left fall into this category which is why they don't typically engage with conservatives despite us being more than willing to engage with them.
-
People who are not ignorant, but rather intelligently and with full knowledge embrace the ideology with all of its' radical insanity. Why they do this could be many things. Maybe there's something they think some sort of communist revolution will get them. Maybe they hate America and want to see it fall. Maybe they're anti-Christian and want an "anything goes" pagan morality to be the law of the land. There's many reasons, but everyone who falls into this category has theirs, or maybe a combination of reasons.
Someone "coming across the aisle" to have some sort of debate, does not fall into the first category. If an ideology is cultish enough, which the leftist ideology is at this point, then anyone even giving the impression of reason rather than insulation falls into option 2, and it's just a matter of how well they hide it.
Now are there exceptions that prove the rule? Very possible, but I've yet to see them.
political differences can be discussed and engaged with such as "what's the best way to fix infrastructure problems, how do we decrease the national debt, how do we get unemployment down, etc". But once a political party starts saying that men can get pregnant and that there should be drag queen story hour for children, you've left the arena of intelligence and reason and entered into the realm of a cult, and the engagement with a cult is totally different. There's no reasoning with Jim Jones adherents or the Manson family. The only thing you can do with cultists is try to shake them until they sober up and if that fails, you ban them from polite society. There's no debate or reasoning to be had with genuine cultists.
I don't know why the right ever thought Destiny was moderate or a "more rational leftist".
To me he is exactly like that atheist "The cosmic skeptic". If you watch debates with older atheists, there will be times where atheists will concede points because they have actual viewpoints that they're willing to say yes or no to.
With cosmic skeptic, he gets held up as a new more rational atheist because he seems like he listens more by not having a hard and fast opinion, but what he's really doing is just not standing on any point so that no point can ever be conceded while conducting himself like a "reasoned intellectual". This gives the impression of more intelligence, rationality and level-headedness, but it's really just intellectual cowardness so that the goal post can always be moved and all roads lead to "I'm right".
Destiny, I got the same sense from him. He presented like a good faith engage-r, but I noticed he too was just a weasley wormy vaush-lite that takes a position only to the extent where he doesn't have to concede anything.
I never got the sense that he was moderate, and his opinions were never intelligent. I'm not sure why the right thought he was decent.
Again, I've always seen him as Vaush-lite. Basically if Vaush cared about optics, you'd have Destiny.
I watched that. Razorfist reacted to it. That's like with the Anthony Cumia thing. If there's someone who can bring some personality to it that takes the edge off, I can sit through it. I am kept up on things by listening to Anthony Cumias show because his takes are hilarious and spot-on most of the time. His filtering of it through his funny personality takes away a lot of that rage I would feel if I just read the headlines and articles myself.
Likewise I saw the Trump Biden debate because Razorfist streamed it.
I'm not completely checked out, but when I was on The Donald going through article after article, headline after headline, I became despondent every time.
And for what? I wasn't fixing the world doing that, I was only harming myself.
Yeah, I honestly wouldn't know. I check out from news pretty much anymore. Even here, I'll see only major things cause for the sake of my own mental health, I try not to read too much or I get black-pilled/despairing, or I'll hear about things from Anthony Cumia's show, but that's about it.
Some people can handle more depressing, enraging crap. I've got to limit it. I don't check out or bury my head in the sand; but I'll depress myself into complete despondent non-productivity if I see EVERYTHING that's going on at all times in this craziness.
It's been a long time since I've seen it. I'll rewatch it relatively soon since I haven't seen it in forever and I'll tell you what I think.
How does that change it? The writers wrote that part too.
They intentionally made the one black character the only one who is not a scumbag and tries to help the hero while all the other chracters, all white are evil except the protagonist.
And something about Ghost Rider is he can see your sins and can sense evil. He wasn't just saying you did a good deed right there so I'm letting you off the hook. He was saying, "you're not guilty or a criminal unlike the rest in here"
Yeah, unfortunately, the SJW's succeeding in getting me to view entertainment the way they view it in most cases. "Everything is political". Well no it wasn't....but thanks for being so deranged and persistent with your propaganda that I can't hardly watch anything anymore like a normal person and now watch it like a friggin woke college activist seeing devils behind every bush. It's pretty impressive actually. For as impotent as we've called SJW's they've pretty well succeeded in forcing a biased pair of glasses on our faces. We come from complete opposite directions ideologically, but they have succeeded in ruining even past, good entertainment in a lot of ways just like they were hoping.
One thing ive noticed with films of the 1970s is they were big on blasphemy.
1970s was more overtly blasphemous in movies than even today in many cases. Take a simple adventure movie like Poseiden Adventure and the anti-God theme is a heavy element weaved throughout the picture.
Clockwork Orange has some of the most blasphemous stuff Ive ever seen.
It seems because the 70s had some of the least studio interference, the artists tended towards that a lot when given free reign. The 80s and onward after Star Wars got more profit focused and a lot of that overt blasphemy in movies went away.
One other interesting example in the 60s is Planet of the Apes. The average person will tell you that its a racial allegory.
Surprisingly when I watched it, thats not even really a theme. The actual plot and theme is a pro evolution, anti-Christian plot.
The theme all throughout the first planet of the apes is that Charleton Heston saying what humans are challenges the apes religion and supports the few "brave ape scientists" who have been doubting the ape religion and pushing for the theory of evolution. Towards the end of the movie the religious apes even admit they knew that humans evolved from apes but wouldnt let that knowledge be known or else it would have destroyed their position of power.
Bizarrely the Planet of the Apes has little to do with slavery and racial allegories as it's made out, and far more to do with pushing a "Christians are suppressing science and denying evolution" message.
I had never seen this movie before. I saw a youtube video talking about Ghost Rider comics and his powers and it intrigued me, so I watched the Ghost Rider movie.
It was a good bad movie if that makes sense. I enjoyed it, but it was equal parts good and bad. It's like the type of movie you're enjoying as you're laughing at how bad it is. It's strange in that way.
But this scene, man, I know they've been seeping propaganda in for a while, but it's usually not this blatant in 2007. This is like 2015 and later levels of blatant.
All the guys in the jail are white, except one black kid, and wouldn't you know it, the one black kid is the only innocent one.
I didn't expect that level of modernity from 2007.
What is SCOPA? I forgot about that betrayal video haha
Bingo, I was thinking about that the other day. To really touch someone's soul, you need to stretch your hand out to them. But stretching your arm out means you are at risk for people to hurt you and hack away at your arm...but it's the only way good art is produced. That's why bravery and some self esteem is needed in being an artist.
People are so self conscious that it is impossible for them to create good art. They don't get hurt because they keep their hand close to their chest, but they never touch anyone either, they never make people feel, don't really make them laugh like people used to, don't really do anything.
Art is now about the artist because the "audience" is scary. To be a great artist you have to desire to reach out and touch the audience, but people are like you said afraid to show any sign of sincerity.
He was always lame. Most of us were just too lame and young to see it in the early days.
He was our version of "Annoying Orange" or "Fred". I know that's painful to admit, but it's true.
I agree that I hate that element. That's been there from the first movie and was even more overt in the second. I have no doubt they're going to go even further with him being gay for wolverine. They flat-out say that "Deadpool is pansexual".
While I didn't like the second deadpool, I thought the first was decent besides that stuff.
More what I'm intrigued about with this movie is I hated Logan and it being a depressing demoralizing gritty take on Wolverine, and I like that this looks to be a cool redemption story for an alternate wolverine. The concept of a wolverine who is a failure in his universe, but gets a second chance at redemption is really cool to me. That's the part that's drawing me to it. And Ryan Reynolds is funny, but not when it's the gayness crap. Him in the movie Waiting or Van Wilder, for instance, he's a very funny guy.
Good explanation, thank you!
Yeah, no that part was fine and realistic, when she's fixing the noobies' mistakes, but there's a later episode, like season 2 maybe where she implies she's more knowledgeable than most of the doctors. I could be wrong.
Generally though Scrubs isn't very ideological, so even at its potential worst it's not bad at all.
Yeah even Scrubs which I love, which was early 2000s, Carla talks about how she knows more than the doctors but has to pretend and then fix their mistakes later.
Yeah, ok.
Same.
I broke that rule for John Wick 4. It was absolute trash.
I'm actually considering breaking it for Deadpool and Wolverine and I'm sure it will be trash, but I liked the trailer, and it's the only trailer I've seen because I don't like to see too much about movies I might watch, but that trailer with the Madonna like a prayer song, I thought made the movie look good. And I'm not even a deadpool or superhero fan.
But odds are it's very woke and I'll regret my decision if I do see it.
When I watched all the Star Trek movies, this one was my favorite. I just remember it being the most interesting and kinetic feeling.
I also don't really like TNG. I felt that the characters all felt sort of autistic, whereas the original series cast felt more like human beings.
I've never heard her name before, but I don't follow news for my own mental health and blood pressure.
Most of the news I do learn is from like 2 week old memes anymore haha.
I have seen that type of thing you're talking about though.
Comments that are so generic like that and essentially say the same 3 things over and over, barely rephrased.
It's funny how they were all about Russian bots for years but could never point to any examples. But now the bot-like talking is extremely obvious, only it's for the left. They always project and tell you what they're going to do.
You were agreeing with the guy who said "Censorship, violence, propaganda, they are all just tools. Use them when there is a correct target."
That's almost verbatim the leftist philosophy "there's no such thing as bad tactics, only bad targets".
The only reason I responded to you and not him is you put into words even more clearly the philosophy that underlines all this new way of thinking on the right. You said we do not live in a universe that is governed by any higher good. You used the term karmic, but we all know that it is the Christian God and the Bible that America by and large has adhered to through it's history, not some vague sense of karma.
I responded to you instead of him because you straight up said the point I've tried to make, that without God, then the leftist idea of "no bad tactics, only bad targets" becomes logical and anything other than that is foolish and "hinders us".
People need a biblical worldview. Because there is a God they need it for salvation, but even just to arrive at truth people need it.
Proverbs 4:19 says
The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know over what they stumble.
In contrast, John says Jesus enlightens every man, and He is the light of the world and the light shines in the world and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Ah, gotcha, yeah I didn't know that. To be fair, hindsight is 20/20 as well. There's things my parents did that they thought were in the best interest that they say, we wish we didn't do that.
And they're Christians.
Elon was until recently basically a typical pretty liberal guy, and still isn't a Christian. Events like these are what helped him wake up and regret can be a powerful motivator to not repeat mistakes.
