The Hypocrisy of the modern age.. that means you

you and the Modern age, is charged with
hypocrisy…let us explore the nature
of the charges…

The vast disconnect between the words we offer
and the actions we do… IQ45 and his gang of thieves
prove this point… They say one thing and act completely
different… They proclaim, loudly, how they are
Christians, and yet, act completely outside of,
indeed, opposed to the words of Jesus and the bible…
looking at their actions, anti-immigrant, anti-intellectual,
indeed, anti-human… one wouldn’t even know
that the bible existed given the actions of IQ45
and his 40 thieves … feel free to show me some actions
of the IQ45 administration that obeys the bible or
the words of Jesus…and this hypocrisy extends
throughout the modern world… You hear of companies,
corporations loudly, through ads, that they put
the customer first, human beings before profits…
and that is clearly a lie… the company I work for
very clearly puts profits before the workers lives…
and it is not alone… In fact, one is hard pressed
to find a company that actually put people before
profits… offhand, I can’t think of one…
this hypocrisy, between the words offered
and the actions taken is indictive of the
modern world… within our private actions/words,
institutions just as the judicial system, for there
is no such thing as justice in America today…
and the checks and balances of the American system
that has lasted almost 250 years has been destroyed by
the IQ45 criminal regime… for they routinely ignore
judges including the US Supreme Court… for example,
in returning that man from El Salvdor… as directed
by a judge… and that is just one case that the criminal
regime has ignored judges…

and as for you, I can guarantee that you are practicing
hypocrisy… for whose words match their actions?
Now many to avoid judgement, will that everyone
is a hypocrite, Kropotkin included, but I say unto you,
that all that means is you are avoiding responsibility
for your disconnect between your words and actions…

it isn’t about me or how others are practicing hypocrisy,
it is about you…most of you will simply announce that
""I don’t practice hypocrisy’’ without giving it a moments
thought as to whether or not, you actually do practice
hypocrisy… or you will say, but everyone practices
hypocrisy… as if that gives you an out for your
own hypocrisy… everyone practices it, so I too
can be a hypocrite… as if that is a defense for
one’s hypocrisy…

Will any of you actually try to discover if I am right,
or will most of you simply pretend that I am wrong
and move on… for that is also lacking in today’s world,
the courage to take oneself to task… to engage in
the Socratic motto of ‘‘knowing thyself’’ and be honest
about it… few if any have that sort of courage…
or to examine one’s values to see if they are actually
your values or simply values that were indoctrinated
into you as a child…

Not only is hypocrisy practiced in this ‘‘modern age’’
but cowardice is also part of the modern way of life…
who has the courage to actually take an honest
look at one’s life?

and I herby accuse the entire membership of ILP
of being cowards and hypocrites…

will you deny it or will you actually undertake
an honest evaluation of who you are, to see
if I am correct? the IQ45 criminal regime is
a masterclass of hypocrisy and cowardice…
and I hold they are a perfect representation
of America today…

How do you plead?

The next hypocrisy we look at is within morals
and ethics…What does it mean to be moral, ethical
in our modern world? it has been said that to
have a moral/ethical world requires laws and
those laws being obeyed…
and yet, we see the IQ45 criminal regime routinely
disobey judges rulings… and in many cases, violate
the law itself… the IQ45 regime has been outspoken
about immigrants breaking the law and yet, feels
that those same laws don’t seem to apply to
this administration… hypocrisy brought to its highest
level… the disconnect between the words
and the actions…

and where does this leave the average citizen?
this violence done against the law and it judges,
how does and how should the average citizen
respond to this?

The ethical, moral dissolution of America has the
highest approval rating from conservatives…
This is just another ethical stain that is deeply
etched into the mind and spirit of conservatives…
the party of law and order that I grew up with,
is no longer… it is an criminal enterprise that
supports crime and the denial of justice for
Americans… if one disobeys the law, that
is by definition, a criminal, a lawbreaker…
and where is the punishment for this group
of lawbreakers, criminals?
the GOP/MAGA party has become the party of
criminals… routinely breaking the law and having
no problem with breaking the law…

and how can we be surprised that because
crime has been legalized for the GOP/MAGA
party, that breaking the law has become
a problem within America itself…

We no longer have a sense of being moral, or
being ethical if our own political leaders and
the MAGA/GOP, being in control of Washington,
have no problem breaking the law themselves…

for ethics/morals to be effective, it must be practice
by everyone or it has no power for anyone…
if some are allowed to practice crime, then
the invitation is for all to engage in criminal acts…

if the President of the US is a criminal, then there
is no such thing as ethic or morals in America today…

and as usual, I ask, now what?

another example of hypocrisy lies within the very actions
of IQ45 criminal gang… they have destroyed the ability
of people to survive, by attempting to destroy Social
Security and taking money away from the poor in
terms of ending many programs that allow people to
stay alive… you know feeding kids and feeding Senior
citizens… taking away vital heath care programs, from
those who need it most…

and how does any of this qualify as being moral/or ethical?
and therein lies the problem, there is no way to spin
these domestic cuts in spending as being ethical or moral…
one might argue in terms of efficiency… but any attempt
along these terms run into the problem that this
‘‘attempt’’ at efficiency isn’t really efficient, nor is it
ethical… because these attempt at efficiency
is attempts to qualify money/taxpayers money
as more important than people’s lives…
how does putting money before people, how
how does that become ‘‘moral’’ or ''ethical?“”

there is no argument that can make money/taxpayers
money more important than people lives…

go ahead, make that argument… that money,
taxpayers’ money is more important than people’s
lives…

and the least unethical, immoral idea is the idea
that by taking money away from the ones who can
least afford it, and then giving that money to the
billionaires and multimillionaires in this country…

please feel free to make the argument that
taking money away from children and Senior
citizens, who need that money to survive, is
less important than tax cuts to the very wealthiest
people in this country, and how is that ethical or moral?

There is no moral or ethical basis for taking money
away from those who need it, the poor, children,
seniors and giving that money to the wealthiest
people in this country… please, make that ethical
argument… you can’t, because there is no
moral or ethical basis for taking money from those
who need that money to survive and giving that
money to the ultra wealthy…

what happens to morals and ethics when they are unable
to justify our current political policies, which is to kill
children and seniors in favor of tax cuts to the super wealthy…

the bottom line is today, we have no morals or ethics upon
which to base our actions on… what morals and ethics
we did have, was killed by the IQ45 criminal regime that
no longer obey the law or the rulings of judges including
the United States Supreme Court… how is that
ethical or moral to simply ignore any rulings or laws
that those in power disagree with… who is practicing
ethics or morals in America today?

who exactly?

Man, I don’t know you as a person, but I think it’s safe to say you love the sound of your own voice, don’t you? You’re self-obsessed, and you’re self-righteous, you have all the right words and all the right ideas, just everybody’s else can’t see it, can’t rise to such heights. Are you to be read seriously or as a parody?

We live in an exploitative totalitarian technological society that smashes you like a bug or like a hammer against a nail if you step out of line. Individual resistance is useless, and collective resistance is only possible if the majority participates in a period of time where a majority of people can’t hardly agree on much of anything at all.

A pretty dramatic way of putting it. Nice for a science fiction book. I am an individual and I’m pretty fine in this highly technological society. I’m not a sheep nor a victim of anything. I have full awareness of all I do and I enjoy appreciating the positive side of the informational deluge that characterizes these days, even though I recognize its downsides.

Merely saying that if a lone individual tries acting out against the system they’re fully exposed and squashed by the powers that be. Individuals can’t achieve much on their own where individual rebellion is pretty much useless.

K: and you still haven’t undertaken a reevaluation of values
as suggested by Nietzsche… you believe yourself exempt from
any suggestion that you are a hypocrite or immoral…
I see this as pretty much par for the course… attack others
but make no attempt to discover if my charges are true
about you… what you have done is simply pretend
my charges don’t apply to you… the response of the clueless…

An individual will never be powerful enough against society, that’s not an opinion, that’s mathematics. Now that doesn’t mean we’re helpless, or even that we COULDN’T really change things if we all wanted to. But that’s the “crux” of the problem: most (individuals) don’t want to change anything, not anything that’s working for them at least. So I see that the problem is not exactly with society, but with those individuals (like “Peter Kropotkin” here) who want to change society against the will of the members of this same society! Ie, his discourse is entirely redundant, he’s complaining about certain problems in society, that he knows won’t be solved, because he’s describing this same society as inherently putrid.

This is not even a valid criticism of any sort, it’s just a piece of self-righteous rhetoric.

You called me a “psycopath” after reading one post of mine in this forum. I don’t care about your name calling, old-timer.

And I don’t think you should mention Nietzsche’s name lightly. He definitely wouldn’t be okay with anything you write here. You are perpetually COMPLAINING. You don’t have solutions to offer, you only need to remind people of problems they’re pretty aware of. Like they were asking you to.

I would really like to read an account of your ACTIONS in life, old-timer. Or are you satisfied in merely thinking you’re the right one amongst all these heartless people around you? Is rhetoric more than enough for you?

Well, a certain level of coercion amongst other things is necessary to officiate change. In a perfect ideal world coercion wouldn’t be necessary, but we unfortunately don’t live in such a world where a majority of human beings are ignorant herd animals. Sometimes you need to save people and others from themselves, that doesn’t come without sacrifice. But yes, I agree with what you said in terms of the number one being the losing proposition in terms of simple mathematics.

The war against windmills has already been described by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra.
Re-read The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha.

Seriously — learn the meanings of human words.
An idea is an expressed call to action. It is the very weapon that organizes the masses and governs them.
What follows is just the mechanics of constructing ideas.
An idea must be blunt (comprehensible) and carry evil under the guise of good —
otherwise it will not be understood, accepted, or used.
