After a couple of days of thought, as to whether I
should remain on ILP due to the lack of any
philosophical content (I don’t consider the
prevalent posting of conspiracies and prejudices
as being philosophy) I have decided to change course…
I know that my every post will be drowned by
idiotic conspiracy theories and downright stupid
comments that lead us nowhere, ‘‘Watching the
fall of capitalism’’ is one such thread that has
no point nor leads us anywhere…
and why is it pointless? Because it doesn’t give
us any sort of actions to be taken… ok, we
are watching the fall of capitalism, now what?
The poster doesn’t even offer us something like
Stoicism to handle this coming fall… it just says
we are fucked… and nothing more… That isn’t
philosophy nor does it belong in a philosophy site…
So, Kropotkin, what does belong on a philosophy site?
A question that isn’t even asked around here…and why?
Because people are so locked into their prejudices and bigotry
to even notice a world outside of their own prejudices…
the path of philosophy is to overcome the various
indoctrinations that we receive in our lives…
the key word being overcome… and that is lacking today…
How do we overcome the fall of capitalism?
How do we overcome our bigotries and prejudice?..
Around here people don’t overcome their bigotries
and prejudices, they celebrate and announce their
prejudices as philosophy… nothing is done too actually
practice philosophy… to overcome our prejudices,
that is at the heart of philosophy…
As I have stated before, what is needed is a new Enlightenment…
to challenge our indoctrinations and prejudices as something
to overcome… Philosophy is about the struggle to overcome,
to become wiser, to become a better human being…
and practicing idiotic conspiracy theories like
''the White replacement theory" which has no value
or point to it, because it isn’t real, or part of reality…
there is nothing there to overcome because it is
patently false… and therein lies philosophy…
in which the point is to overcome one’s false
beliefs and values… to hold to the allege superiority
of the ‘‘white’’ person isn’t philosophy because what
have you done to overcome this nonsense?
There isn’t motion or movement in most of the
threads and posts in ILP… take the ‘‘White
replacement theory’’… what motion or movement is
suggested here? None… it is presented as fact,
whereas it is nothing more than a prejudice masquerading
as a fact… and most posters here just simple
practice prejudice and bigotry instead of actual
philosophy… in which they try to overcome their
current bigotries and prejudices…
‘‘to become’’ that is a call to rethink what we believe to
be facts… (and aren’t, as prejudices are not facts)
Let us engage with another idiotic bigotry, the
clearly false belief in the Jewish domination of
the world… ask a ‘‘believer’’ to present any
facts to prove their case, and we get nonsense
that would embarrass a 5 year old…
and let us make the huge assumption that it
is true, ok, what should we do? what is our
course of action if, if we accept the idea
that the Jews control the world?
One never hears that… it is just announced as
fact and left as that… there is no motion or movement
allowed in the statement that the ""Jews control the world’’
what are we to do if, IF that were true? That is never
answered… for me, if you make a idiotic statement
like ‘‘the Jews control the world’’ you had better have
a solution present to overcome this reality…
If you don’t have a solution to your problem,
SHUT THE FUCK UP… don’t say anything if
you can’t give us some sort of solution or
resolution to the problem you have given us…
As for me, I recognize that I am one of the few
around here that actually practices Philosophy…
and I commend Bob for being another fellow
practitioner of Philosophy…most here engage in
empty rhetoric and bigotry as a substitute for philosophy…
I am changing my own practices of posting here…
I recognize that the bigotry crowd will fill my
own philosophical threads with crap like
bigotry and prejudices… so, I am just posting
my stuff and ignore virtually any answers…
(I do actually read every single answer to my
thread and posts, but most of the time it isn’t worth
responding to because it is nothing more than
bigotry and prejudice at work, not philosophy)
My goal here is to present philosophy and knowing
that the others around here, with few exceptions,
are dilettantes engaged in polemics about
their own bigotries and prejudices… I have
no interest in polemics nor do I have any
interest in expressing bigotries and prejudices
as philosophy… as the vast majority of posters
here engage with both polemics and prejudices as fact…
I am here for philosophy… and as such, I am going to ignore
most posters here because they aren’t interested in
engaging in philosophy because to do so is hard work
and courage… something very few around here are
interested in… practicing either courage or hard work…
the vast majority of posters around here are not
interested in philosophy… just expressing their own
bigotry/prejudices and attempting to convince
others of the validity of their bigotries…which
is polemics…
and few if any will take this thread seriously, because
they don’t engage with or even give a shit about
Philosophy… most here only care about their
bigotries and prejudice which is then posted
here as being real, as factual, when it is
false, clearly false… but one won’t know unless
they engage with their own values… which takes
courage and effort/hard work…
as Nietzsche once wrote:
''It isn’t enough to have the courage of one’s convictions,
one must have the courage for an attack upon ones
convictions"
do you have that courage? are you willing to engaged
in the hard work that comes with engaging in philosophy?
for most of you, I doubt it… and for them I say,
wallow away in your prejudices and bigotry…
for your belief system is just that unless one
engages in the hard work of discovering the truth…
who here is willing to do that?
Kropotkin
How can you say theism is stagnant, when atheism is just as stagnant?
