there are several here who chant about the unethical
left or liberals… I am a liberal because I am an ethical person…
I don’t the empty threats of god/heaven/hell to be an ethical person…
unlike most religious types who are motivated to either please god
or avoid hell… I don’t care or believe in either prospect…
I ask, would you still believe if there was no heaven or hell?
I doubt it… you hold to the reward/punishment aspect of religion,
whereas I don’t need either rewards or punishment to be ‘‘WOKE’’
which is to say, treat people with dignity, respect, fairness and
with kindness…I would say I am actually more in line with
being ethical by being ‘‘WOKE’’ or being liberal, then those
who claim to be religious and thus are ethical…
I am retired, thus I am also old, I have never been arrested,
I have never been in a police car, never in a jail, I have
never been handcuffed, well, outside of that incident
in the 80’s with a very cute blond, but enough said about that…
I have never physically hurt anyone, I haven’t cheated on my
wife of 30 years, I have never hit or harmed my daughter,
I have never any sexual contact with anyone under 21…
just sort of worked out that way… by all accounts, my life
has been exactly the sort of life that the religious hold sacred,
but I am not religious… I don’t believe in god or heaven or hell…
and yet, my life has been as clean as a whistle… and I am
a liberal, a proud and loud liberal…
I don’t support wars, I am against violence, I have stopped
crime before, I worked in a grocery store for 19 years and
have stopped plenty of violence, theft and child abuse…
so, how am I a ‘‘wicked’’ liberal? I am more than willing to
compare my life with anybody life… my sister who is very
religious, I know for a fact that I have led a much cleaner
and more righteous life than she has… I am quite willing
to stake my life on my being ethical… for I have done so for
67 years… can you say the same? My ethics is directly tied
into my being liberal…
You know what you are? Aside from in your late 40’s?
You’re a person who was probably made to feel powerless as a child, and gets off on the power trip of being part of a project that tells all of humanity what to do.
PK; for I have done so for
67 years… can you say the same?

K: derely: I am very glad to hear from you… I could use someone
who isn’t attacking me on ILP… Virtually everyone else has
gone after me for something or other… feeling a bit, attacked these
days… ah, I’ll get over it… thank derly…
I consider him a second tier communist. Officer class, if you will. Because he understood the one key thing which understaning separates them from the communist rabble:
If you treat people like idiots, it will work.
So simple.
The Southeast Asian communists, of all Godbeloved people, going on PR tirades against the US’s violation of international war law. And guess which narrative stuck?
The simplicity of it is what takes a time to get over. But yeah, it works.
