You do realize - I hope - that this has nothing to do with what I like or dislike. To assume so is juvenile. If you have anything to say or argue with regard to my argument, do so. Do you have for example anything to say in defence of this White Lives Matter image?

socks · 2021-04-11T18:27:56+00:00

Simply not true.

This kind of narrative can only come from a disinformation/propaganda broadcast or website. With the exception of a few criminals, BLM supporters are not like this. Get better information, look at video evidence and see for yourself that this is not true. (Also notice the whites who are creating problems at protests.)

One can also say that White Lives Matter supporters:

...are racist and want installation of racist laws such as [retiring] affirmative action. They blame everyone else for their own misery and pretend my ancestors are slave owners, while I'm irish. They want privilege and are willing to steal, loot and murder to reach their goal. They are the definition of a terrorist organisation and should be put in jail.

(BTW: My Irish/British ancestor had slaves. He said he'd not step foot on US soil if Lincoln was elected. The remaining years of his life he managed the farm while sitting at a window, directing farm hands, with a fire in the fireplace behind him year-round.)

How?

socks · 2021-04-11T17:36:46+00:00

There is an obvious context for this statement, which is a reaction to the Black Lives Matter movement and the sign they've used. It was not an issue or a comment before BLM. There have been, however, many "white people are superior" comments over the years. White Lives Matter is - for many - also another version of "white people are superior." Posts like this are the reason Saidit sometimes fails as a website. Though this is of course "free speech" it's obviously a message of division, hatred and bigotry, and doesn't help anyone. It also makes the "whites" who support this kind of statement look weak, racist, stupid, crazy, and infantile.

Thanks for this, and the last line reminds me that I forgot to include clergy in the list of people sent to camps. Almost 3000 supposedly parished in the camps, if not more. Excellent points in the rest of this.

Yes, and here is the announcement:

On Wednesday the first concentration camp is to be opened in Dachau with an accommodation for 5000 people. 'All Communists and—where necessary—Reichsbanner and Social Democratic functionaries who endanger state security are to be concentrated here, as in the long run it is not possible to keep individual functionaries in the state prisons without overburdening these prisons, and on the other hand these people cannot be released because attempts have shown that they persist in their efforts to agitate and organize as soon as they are released.

Thus "accommodation for 5000 people" was arranged, not mass murder. By 1942, the overcrowding situation was more severe for the camps, whereby mass murders were arranged:

A crematorium that was next to, but not directly accessible from within the camp, was erected in 1942

Excellent points. Moreover - if Hitler was involved (as he may have been aware and approving) there were important members of his party who were the one's much more in control of promoting the party. Hitler often gets credit as a kind of mastermind, but he was nothing without these party leaders and his advisors. He was of course extremely helpful. But think for a moment about the work of Himmler, Goebbels and Göring in the 1930s, just to name a few.

Also, many in Europe believed in Social Darwinism (which isn't really Darwin's interest) in the 1930s (as I am sure you know; and this is a culmination of 19th century eugenics &c; there was also an important journal, called Eugenics (or similar). Many also believed that the homosexuals, communists, enemies of the state, mentally ill, gypsies, and Jews were not good Germans and were not natural members of the German state. This was not just a Nazi belief, but a nationalist trend all over Europe (for their own countries).

The main problem with Nazism - I'd argue - is the mass murder of prisoners, as this was explicitly against the peace treaties of the time. Imprisoning millions of people was not explicitly against international law. Other problems with Nazism is the control of the news media, the cancelation of free speech, and many other problems.

(I'll also respond to your other posts this weekend.)

socks · 2021-04-10T12:36:59+00:00

If I remember correctly (I could be wrong, and there are histories by biased historians that might say otherwise), Germans were informed by the government that the Homosexuals, Communists, enemies of the state, mentally ill, gypsies, and Jews were sent on trains to camps, until further notice. The German population may have known that some of these people were convicted of higher crimes and given the death penalty. But there was no official government document - or government-supported newspaper article - directed at the general public that admitted to the extermination or mass murder of these prisoners. I think this would have been explicitly against previous peace treaties, and it was not useful as government propaganda.

No.

For example, most churches are closed much of the week, with the exception of Sunday services and occasional weekly gatherings. Closing them a bit longer is not a major problem. People can meet online and pray at home for a few weeks.

If a church is banned, it cannot host people online or run other kinds of church services. It's not allowed to be a church if it is banned.

Unintentially posting disinformation and misinformation is known as 'misinformation'. I agree with your point, though my main concern is with the posring of numerous misleading articles from the same websites that famously spread. This continued approach is - it seems - intential. God would not be happy with these attempts to mislead people into acting dangerously or against their neighbors.

Yes - and the Indian stuff seems new, though by the 88 crew.

You've likely thought of this, but as has happened at other sites, perhaps a delay of a day or more could be required before a submission. Combine this with the requirement for an email address and confirmation by email. This would require additional planning/hassle for the spammers.

I had thought you referred to the Corporatization of the US government, which has happened since Reagan.

There is no definition of "US corp" online. If you refer to American revolutionists in the 1770s as US Corp adn as anti-Christian and masonic, all of this is not generally known - not is 'US corp' by your definiton. In order to make these references you would have to provide a link or a footnote, as this is not general knowledge.

Good question regarding those who kept their investments in the East India company, but that company was responsible for half the world's trade in the 1770s.

Anything about who 'owned' MA would have to include some evidence or a link. (Not that I disagree about any of this, but we should assume that we are talking about the same subjects.)

Before US Corp became US Corp, it was founded on democratic principles and checks and balances that allowed for challenges to conflicts of interest and other forms of corruption. Much of this failed in the period of the 1850s - 1920s, and there was a recovery and boom after the New Deal and WWII, when workers programs put money in the pocket of the 99%, which rebuilt the 2/3rds of the economy that is supported by purchases. Since 1963, this corruption has again crept into the political system, destroying the American Dream.

This is a very good quote, but let's examine the context:

Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:12-16 ESV)

This is one of the key examples that show the separation of God from the "spirit of the world". The Judeo-Christian religion was the first major religion (as it would become) to do this. From Genesis onward, there is advice that God's chosen people can plunder the world, because God gave it to them for that purpose. Reuniting people with the 'spirit of the world' should be the next step.

But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God. (2 Corinthians 4:2 ESV)

According to the Bible, if you post misinformation and disinformation you will go to Hell.

Your argument that those who don't agree with you represent Zionists or China (the government) is a famous form of:

False equivalence

Logical fallacy

False dichotomy

Ad hominem

Ad ignorantiam

Argument from personal incredulity

Plurium interrogationum

One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. (Luke 16:10 ESV )

A dishonest man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends. (Proverbs 16:28 ESV)

A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will not escape. ( Proverbs 19:5 ESV)

That no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you. (1 Thessalonians 4:6 ESV)

What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. ... (James 2:14-24 ESV)

This begins with honesty, and continues with support for the 99% (and I hope /u/Jesus also agrees)

This has been discussed for predominantly blue states and red states, whereby predominantly red states - which normally require Federal support - would immediately go bankrupt if they seceded. So people in predominantly blue states, which tend to be richer and have higher metropolitan populations, sometimes joke that they'd happily agree to predominantly red states seceding from the union. In any event - as we know - state politics in many states is remarkably corrupt and their 1% will mercilessly abuse the residents in order to develop banana republics. Federal regulation and funding help preserve a good quality of live for most in the US, even though there are many more living in poverty than 4 years ago. Solution: stick with the American Experiment developed in the 18th century, with checks and balances in the democratic system that reduce the potential for corruption (though not as much as it should in late stage capitalism).

The main problem is that journalism is not appropriately funded, and hasn't been for a long time. Thus the MSM have for a long time focused on merely reporting what they receive in press releases. This is irresponsible journalism, but not necessarily shilling (though yes, there are shills in the MSM, especially at Fox News, which is pushing Republican talking points verbatim, and at Sinclair sations).

For the MSM posts I made flaire of the parent company, but for the next posts I can note the bias, ownership and truthfullness (and lack thereof).

Perhaps I could say that, but my note is more cynical, or sarcastic, without trying to directly criticize christnmusicreleases , who is one of the 3 or 4 leading distributors of disinformation on Saidit. This is one reason Saidit will not grow and will not be taken seriously by most people. It's blanketed with disinformation. Only a minority of brainwashed, angry, racist, sexist, anti-trans, fascist, Republican users will upvote those posts and will never have a reasonable argument about any of the content. For example, I argued recently with someone who stongly believes that Ahmaud Arbery caused his own death. Another example: so many users are angry about politics, but will not mention any realistic political solutions that they ascribe to. So - where were we - red pills: these are not part of the disinformation spread by /u/christnmusicreleases . A red pill should be factual. Saidit will grow with discussions of factual red pills, not with propaganda (a topic /u/magnora7 is hopefully still concerned about).

Perhaps we could start a political movement that would pressure the US Government into allowing Texas secede.

Politics is absolutely useless when the general population is depraved scum as it is now.

Not true.

I give credit to the Left for understanding how to implement change. They focused on education and turned universities into essentially churches of Satan.

I see - this is the conversation you want to have. Universities were founded by clerics and humanist (moral) goals. Much of that continues.

In other words, the Left changed values at a fundamental level and this is how they won.

Definitely not that simple.

Because the Right fails to understand this, they will lose.

No - right-wing influencers are sophisticated and will help win additional elections (though with disinformation)

Decent people should mostly forget politics and focus on supporting a good religious community.

Yes - that's it - people in good religious communities should not bother to vote. But these religious communities are highly political, and they were the reason Trump was able to get electoral college votes 4 years ago. (It's our responsibility to vote in every election.)

Let's say you were told the story of the Last Supper in the year 311. It was a powerful story for Christians at that time. If Christianity or Islam or Judaism or Buddhism or whatever helps you with a new understanding of the true nature of a particular situation, all the better.

It saved the US from a 60 year period of bankrupting policies that were destroying the country, and the 1% were driving all of that corruption. The New Deal invested in the 99%. 2/3rds of the economy that is supported with purchases began to boom, because people had salaries. Without this, the country would not have been prepared to enter WWII, after which began the baby boom and the American Dream. This American Dream is no longer available for the 99%, because of the corruption of the 1%. Another New Deal will be necessary, or the "American Experiment" (in democratic representation) will be over.

Do you favor authoritarianism?

No. Just cut off their money. Once you take away the trillion dollars they get to play with every year, they will do what you want to get it back. That is what most right wing people have been saying all along

Republican-controlled Congress put the US $27 trillion in debt before January. They are famous for tax cuts for themselves, and destroying opportunities for the 99%, among other financial abuses.

while left wing people advocate taking more and more $$ from working people and giving it to bureacrats

That's the opposite of what has happened.

Solution: vote for people who look after the 99% and continue activitism for the 99%, as is happening with XR and others. Republicans have been killing the US.

Now you can enjoy reading at that sub the top posts at several similar websites, and notice how they spread the same disinformation. In that manner we both benefit.

I am a Quaker. We sit in relative silence for an hour and let God come to us, and we speak up if we wish. Everyone in the room has an equal voice, though the long moments of silence are also essential. Easter combines Christian and pagan beliefes, as a way of reminding both groups of their connected pasts. As Christians we value the approaches of a man who was crucified for imposing his semi-Buddhist religious beliefs on the Jews - as there were many who were tortured like this (for a variety of reasons) in the first century C.E. The story of his rising to heaven, however one might want to see it (even in Rudolf Bultmann's terms) is a message of hope about the eternal afterlife. Even if that afterlife is in the memory of the living, who remember your deeds, it is still a reminder that we live on after death, in the memories of others and/or in Heaven or Hell. This also potentially helps black pill people.

NWO = New World Order?

If so - you've likely seen attenpts by the 1% to arrange this NWO. Reversing their approaches will depend on the motivation of the 99% to act against authoritarianism and promote democracy. It happened before, as part of the New Deal

socks · 2021-04-06T10:24:36+00:00

Jason knows I've watched Corbett. I respond to him elsewhere here.

Regarding the 99%: it's their country, and they are the ones to be motivated to take control of it democratically. Part of that happened in the recent election.

socks · 2021-04-06T10:19:37+00:00

As I've said - you know me better than that. You know I've watched some of them. You know that I've said Corbett is a professional attention whore and shill for the 1%. The single trend in all of his rants and arguments favors authoritarianism. And as you know, I want to hear what you have to say - in your own words - that addresses solutions. Corbett doesn't have credibility. If you are credible, mention your solutions. For example, you support the Green Party in Canada. This is excellent, if it's in an area where the green party can have a chance of winning. Younger supporters will likely join you.

socks · 2021-04-06T10:13:30+00:00

the solution becomes obvious.

Thus we can write them down.

Billionaires are importing labor, skilled and unskilled.

Exactly - thus reduce the number of H1-B visas that can be offered. This would rely on government support. Pressure on the government to do this would have to come from the 99%.

End no fault divorce,

This is a human rights violation; a non-starter

tax only dual income households and singles earners over 30.

I am not sure this is necessary, as the tax would be based on income.

The truth is when women moved into the work force it cut wages in half and caused families to work twice as hard.

This is not true, and at best a gross oversimplification. Multiple factors kept wages stagnant, driven principly by the 1% and Big Corp.

Now we have a lot of people working in a worthless bureacracy and not enough people birthing and raising children.

This is another oversimplification and does not support your approach to limiting the available labor. Fertility rates are mush lower, but the world is overpopulated. Reducing the population is good.

In fact no one is raising children except for the internet and public school teachers, who are not doing a great job at it.

No evidence for this, even if it were remotely true.

Increasing domestic manufacturing will also drive up labor costs.

Yes; a win-win

I have given you some ideas and some specifics about those ideas.

All of the solutions you mention would require government intervention, which requires political activitism, voting, &c. This political aspect of the solution is what I've been asking for. The 1% (and Republicans) will not help you. The party and politician that supports the 99% will help.

Why dont you tell me what XRs strategy is for fixing society other than talking about how bad white people are?

It's just a group that brings much needed attention to the problems of Climate Change (because it's man-made), in order to help the public and government appreciate that something must be done. They have impressive strategies for getting in the news and calling attention to themselves and the cause. It's not complicated. The more people are aware of the problems of man-made Climate Change and ways to deal with it, they more they will make political decisions that will help deal with these problems. XR thereby helps the 99%, as they protest against the 1%.

Maybe you dont want to say on here because you dont want to end up on a list. Fine. Just say so.

This is strange. I've explained XR several times in the thread.

Increase demand of labor — more manufacturing for example Decrease labor supply - for example, stop importing labor to undercut domestic workers.

You keep repeating your points, but without noting how this would happen. It's as if you want to repeat 'black pill' talking points, without discussing the method of the solution. I've mentioned the method. Unlike you, I am not oversimplifying anything by concentrating on one idea or another. The essential argument is that you have to be open to several options that may be useful.

to raise real wages or diminish Wall Street’s power by defanging the Fed

Yes - it's a great idea.

But it's only one basic idea. Many steps are necessary, one of which is XR. Your idea doesn't negate their physical activism, not by a long shot. You'll also want to know how your ideas will work in the broader context of US and Geo-politics, not to mention the assistance that would be necessary from other forms of activisism and ways of voting for the appropriate candidates.

What is your idea of a social /political solution then?

To work within the current system to improve upon it

I could go on but I will have mercy on you

All of this seems to be part of a computer game commentary.

anthropogenic global warming theory

If you refer to man-made global climate change, yes, that's the main concern for XR &c

I thought we already agreed our “democratically elected” goverment is a sham.

No, that's not the issue here

The issue is: what's your solution to political change?

Full disclosure I feel CO2 driven AGW.... But I imagine you disagree with all that.

I have no opinion on it, as I am not familiar with it.

So why not build more nuclear power plants?

Uranium - no. But there are Thorium-based nuclear power projects underway.

Nonetheless - they're not needed. There are reliable green energy sources.

Locally source your manufactured goods.

XR protestors likely agree with this, as it also reduces the need to transport products long distances

Now all our appliances break down in a fraction of the time and end up in a landfill. Improving quality of manufactured goods reduces waste dramatically.

XR protestors likely agree with this

Why does XR not talk about these common sense strategies.

They're focused on corporate abuses that have cause the problems you also want resolved here. Corporate abuses can be regulated with a democratically elected government, and with the help of XR to pressure that goverment into acting for the 99%.

My question about solutions is not about some of the issues above, but about political and social challenges against the 'establishment".
