I hate climate change because it sabotages actual environmental concerns, like glyphosate and microplastics proliferation, antibiotic resistance, fracking, air quality, water quality, etc.

[–]Jesus 6 insightful - 3 fun6 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

And notice that not one WEF official pushing the covid catalyst or climate change agenda cares about this.

[–]magnora7[S] 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Agree, I can't believe how glyphosate is still ignored so much.

Toxic Earth from toxic politics.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (88 children)

Yes, but what is the origin of this toxicity? On Earth we consider it comes from "evil people," but what if there is more to "evil people" than just "they're born that way"?

That is a very worthwhile question that I never see being addressed.

Evil people systemically rise to the top because power corrupts absolutely. Nepotism, corporatism, secrecy, tribalism, usury, centralization, corruption, bankster favouritism, mafia governments, selective enforcement, regulatory capture, lack of accountability, rigged voting, psychopathy rewarded, demagogue worship, censorship... All systems feeding the evil.

Sunshine is the best disinfectant.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (86 children)

I find your take on the question puzzlingly simplistic. To me, what you are stating is akin to "Evil is wrong because it's bad" and "bad people do bad things".

WHY does power corrupt? Did you ever bother asking yourself that? Not that the answser is obvious but it's a very enriching one.

[–]Node 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (79 children)

Power doesn’t necessarily corrupt. It's more likely that it amplifies inherent personality and behavioral traits. We see a similar effect in lottery winners who suddenly end up with vast sums of money. If they were previously fiscally prudent, it's unlikely they become profligate wasters.

Of course, the fiscally prudent typically don't waste their money on lottery tickets, just as the morally sound are unlikely to battle their way into positions of power.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (57 children)

Exactly. But this still points to the question as to WHAT makes people "evil"? Yes, SOME people more than others obviously. Until somebody is able to understand perfectly well how this works, they are doomed to repeat the same political cycles of systemic corruption leading to revolution leading to a new set of overlords who quickly become corrupt to the point of making it systemic all over again.

The ONLY way to break the cycle is to understand the inner workings of the human psyche.

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (31 children)

How do you define "evil"? (Talk about simplistic.)

I define it with Natural Law - do not harm, steal, or deceive others.

This is surrounded by many more layers of broad grey areas on slippery slopes...

How do you define harm, steal, or deceive? How do you define and find justice? How do you find justice when many people collaborate in the evil? How do you define self defense? How do you deal with accidents, crazies, kleptos, and ragers? How do you deal with abuses of power, monopolies on violence, taxes, lynch mobs? How do you deal with poor basic communication or lofty ideals and complex ideas? Etc.

How do you define "evil"? (Talk about simplistic.) That's why I use quotes. That's what they're for.

Defining shit is cute but it still doesn't even begin to close in on the question of the ORIGINS of this "evil". Start by understanding the workings of the human mind and then you will see. Until then, you are doomed to repeat the same mistakes as everybody else because you use the same referentials as everybody else.

The egg came before chickens even existed.

Does a wolf or rabbit think it's evil when one is eaten?

"There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so." ~ Shakespeare.

Evil is a human invention, and it needs a clear definition before you trace whatever "origins" you think exist.

[–]Node 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (24 children)

WHAT makes people "evil"?

The definition of "evil" itself? We're competitive organisms, so our individual goals and desires don't necessarily align on a fundamental level. One way to define "evil" would be a mismatch between behaviors furthering our individual goals and behaviors furthering the goals of the "evil" perpetrator.

Another way to define behaviors considered "evil" is to subscribe to a set of religious beliefs, where behaviors in the category of "evil" are predefined for us. We all know which set of religious beliefs is correct, but are the subscribers to the off-brand belief-sets "evil" in intent, or only in effect?

But back to the WHAT; I'm going to suggest that the WHAT that makes people "evil" really comes down to ones perception of the intent and effects of the behaviors of others. It's not the behavior itself, it's the perception and judgement of the observer that makes it "evil". People themselves can't be "evil". Only the perception of the intent and/or effects of their behaviors can define "evil".

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (18 children)

Agreed. That's why we need subjective definitions of what "evil" actually entails, that defines and IS the source.

Depends on what the definition of IS is... How does my above definition fail to impress?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

That's why we need subjective definitions of what "evil" actually entails

Needing subjective definition implies there is no objective reality behind the term "evil". This means that "evil" is wholly imaginary and should in no way be part of anybody's views on how to structure their lives.

This is once again the implicit point of view of communists, of which I declare you to be a closet case. You espouse so many views that match that doctrine perfectly, you may not know yourself to be a communist but you seem to share everything with them. But go ahead, reassure me and demonstrate that you are not. Or that you are, I couldn't care less...

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Oh, you are of the materialistic-rationalistic school if thought that implies that man is but an animal like any other, with a bit of a bigger brain. Well obviously from such a standpoint, no more discussion on the topic can be had, for it's all chemical reactions in our brains, therefore actually evil does NOT exist. Morality is imaginary, and that's the end of the story.

Now where's my flamethrower, I met some people I didn't like. Wait, I'm not from that school of thought.

[–]Node 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (3 children)

Eliminating the chemical reactions in our brains would seem to make further discussion fairly difficult.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (20 children)

it amplifies inherent personality and behavioral traits.

Truth. But who among us is perfect? We've all most of us have got a price.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (7 children)

Objection. I say we are all perfect, but the thoughts in our minds are not. Prove otherwise. =D

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (6 children)

No one is perfect. We all have flaws and limitations, pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses. Our minds are a part of our bodies.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (5 children)

Nope. We are all perfect, only our minds are infected by that shit called "evil" and see flaws and limitations, pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses. When in fact there is only perfection.

That is the original sin itself: "THE UNDERSTANDING OF GOOD AND EVIL." Without it, we would all realize we are and have always been perfect, the rest is just illusion.

[–]Node 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (11 children)

I have some perfectionist qualities, but am clearly not perfect. To be technically perfect is unachievable for inhabitants of a mortal coil, price or not.

Exactly.

Power doesn’t necessarily corrupt.

A modicum of power may be efficacious, but absolute power corrupts absolutely.

[–]Node 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (9 children)

How do you define absolute power? Does this mean God, the only entity with absolute power, is corrupt?

And how is corruption defined? The owner of a restaurant might be judged as corrupt if they don't provide free food to homeless bums. They have absolute power in the context of their business, but corruption is a matter of perception.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (5 children)

It's worse than that, and you've overlooked the most important part of my statement - the evil systems that evil people build that hide their evil from the masses while pretending to be good. This is institutionalized and industrialized Machiavellianism.

Why? Because they're selfish and they can. Why not?

Plus they have no regard for Natural Law nor ethics/morality. Predators gonna predat.

Plus the evil systems build in excuses for everyone involved to believe they're not to blame or part of the problem.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

Extremely oversimplified. Until you understand the inner workings of thought, pleasure, ego, pride, hubris and all these components, you are doomed to repeat the same shit as everybody else ever did: Revolution, then new assholes to shit on the rest.

It's. Always. The. Same. Thing. Over. And. Over.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

Extremely oversimplified.

As is your question. Over. And. Over.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Your failure to even understand said question doesn't mean it's oversimplified. It means YOUR MIND is comparatively oversimplified. I am afraid, Jason, that all these matters are above your "pay grade".

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 3 fun1 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

You get what you pay for.

Insulting people on this forum proves you're not worthy of my time and energy.

Throw money at me and I might compliment your pathetic insults.

That's why it's a perfect globalist power scam.

Globalists get to:

  1. deflect from real globalist industry pollution
  2. focus on insanity-level brainwashing, fake correlation-causation scams like CO2 (which will never be a pollutant), the perfect propaganda for seizing power over people and production
  3. raise a vast youth army-cult
  4. plunder nations
  5. take total power and destroy nations with globalist agenda policies

all in one cult.

People who say they're "environmentalists" yet base it on their propaganda talk of "climate change" are posers.
