U.S. Riots of May 2020 over George Floyd and others - ITT: a bunch of faggots butthurt about worthless internet stickers

It's not weird. It makes perfect sense. All of these people grew up with Harry Potter, and were brainwashed by it. Ten years later, they're adults and practicing witchcraft.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE FUNDIES WARNED US ABOUT.

 

[Robert James]

I don't know how many of you have had to take a mandatory ethics class in College for your degree or to update/modernize your degree, but Ethics is one of the classes that needs to be fumigated with napalm.

OK, here's a question, posed in EVERY ethics class I've been in. (No, it won't be the trolley. There's a reason this one is one that I abhor)

You are working in a village doing humanitarian relief. A warlord comes by and makes all the people of the village line up in front of you. He selects a single person, it doesn't matter who, and forces them to kneel in front of you. He hands you a gun as he and his men, twelve of them with weapons, watch. He tells you: "Kill him and I'll spare the village. Do not kill him and I will kill the whole village and make you watch then kill you. What is the ethical response?"

I, of course, was all: "How many bullets does the gun have and what's the terrain look like? I might be able to kill enough to let the villagers overpower the rest."

That's wrong.

Killing a single person? That's wrong.

The correct, ETHICAL, answer is to do nothing. That way the blood is not on your hands but only on the hands of the people who did the killing. It's better to let them kill everyone in the village and you, than to take a human life. Their crimes do not reflect on you.

THERE'S where the thinking is coming from. See, it doesn't matter if they're part of the mob that breaks windows, burns down buildings, and kills people. See, that sin the burden of ONLY the people who DIRECTLY did the action. Not you. Your hands, morals, ethics are still clean and pure.

You didn't do anything, they did, and ethically, you can't be held responsible for what they do.

See how poisonous this shit is?

I would have gone with shoot the warlord, command his band to not kill the people since you just killed their leader.

My Ethics course taught cultural relativism and that it was not for us to decide what was wrong or right but the society would form their cultural norms. The teacher was a weird mix of based and hippy I shit you naught she debated one of our classmates that Arranged marriages were better than the U.S. sexual promiscuity and brought up divorce statistics, income statistics for single moms, and crime rates for children raised by single parents.

Anyone who feels any 'white guilt' is basically a retard anyways

Imagine feeling 'guilt' over actions that you literally had no influence on, committed hundreds of years ago, by most likely, people who are not even related to you.

I never understood the "original sin" mentality. The only thing I see in it is a means of controlling someone through guilt.

Nah, you get more conservative as you age. There's a few people that never grow out of the free love, open borders, hippie mentality but most people start to become more centrist or right wing as time goes on.

Is it that people get more conservative or is it that the world itself changes? I was considered a leftie in the 2000's but now lefties would say I'm a bigoted right wing klanswoman despite my worldview barely changing. It's so strange.

The Overton Window man. It seems to shift more and more as time goes on.

It's a bit of all of the above. That being said, when these people grow older and "more conservative" it's not going to resemble anything like what we consider conservative now. We're already at the point where mainstream conservatism is very similar to 2008 liberalism.

This image is hyperbole, but it's funny and there's some truth to it, so I'm going to post it anyway.

The social justice version is a bastardized parody of the Christian version. The original version is that "you can never be perfect, but you can strive to be better". The SJ version is "you were born an asshole, and you can never change that, all you can do is grovel before those wronged by you and debase yourself."

 

[God of Nothing]

Just say every ethics philospher was some retarded armchair idealist that never tried their shit irl.
Bound to piss someone off.

But it's pretty true. Like, almost everyone after Aristotle was some rich sheltered piece of shit. Some came from rough backgrounds or were depressed but few tried putting their philosophies in action. Most of their philosophies just came from their life reflections, as far as I can recall.

I'm not sure whether these people would be better off or worse following any one of the biggies. Their heads are just so fucked with. Demoralization's a bitch.

Wiccans are the leftie horseshoe theory parallel of neo-nazis who are obsessed with sunwheels and Varg Vikernes. Christianity's been on its way out here for a long time, so there a lot of people with an identity/faith void who are trying to fill it with something by "reclaiming" paganism. (Modern intepretations of paganism anyway, which is all we have.)

It's all so phony.
I'd say I have more respect for Christians for at least being authentic, but even Christianity becomes fake when you mix it this 2010s style political radicalism (17 year old deus vult tradcaths/'orthodox christians' with agnostic parents).

Just believe in the one true god.

I never understood the "original sin" mentality. The only thing I see in it is a means of controlling someone through guilt.

In all my studies of history, it's incredibly clear that as long as humans have been in communities, people have done bad shit to other people. Every continent that humans have been on has had some form of slavery or forced servitude. They've enslaved people of all skin colors, even people who were the same ethnicity as them. If we put blame on everyone who had shitty ancestors, NO ONE would be clean if you go back far enough. I don't understand being bogged down in the past instead of trying to move forward.

 

[2lolis1cup]

I'm going to powerlvl a bit here. These assholes decided to protest 5 min from my fucking house. Traffic was god awful 20 min before I saw them coming. I now realize it was people getting the fuck away from them or join them. I was about to cross a busy intersection when I noticed a shit load of cops. I thought huh that's weird I wonder if there is an accident. I then see fucking flags and a mass of people moving into the intersection I was coming up too. I 100% noped the fuck out of there. I was literally making a Uturn in the street driving the wrong way. I knew it would take hours to clear out so I got the fuck out of there.

They are protesting about some felonious nigger that got in a police chase and shot at the cops about 10 miles from the "protest" location. I hope they all get gassed and beaten by the police.

These usefull idiots are "protesting" for this.

It really has more in common with Calvinism than any other branch of Christianity. Even in Catholicism is it possible to be redeemed.

It's disgenuine and self-serving. People who abhor racism and go into activism out of empathy towards those who suffer or who are worse off are impelled and to do so by their own values, beliefs, and wills -- that takes confidence and dedication.

By contrast, someone motivated by guilt is motivated by self-image, self-consciousness, and the approval of their peers above all else. In a way, the need for an original sin creates a need for absolution -- you just never grant it, but allow people to keep chasing mindlessly for it out of their own insecurity.

When you talk to OG civil rights activists, and the rare folks today who are doing so out of genuine concern for their communities, you don't see the same sorts of mechanisms ticking and clicking -- they couldn't give a fuck what some pasty wypipo did hundreds of years ago.

Teenage girls who watched Charmed and read Harry Potter really have no idea about the old school Wiccans from the 50's. Like the modern druid movement in the 30's (I think) at Glastonbury they were really quite conservative. Really, really conservative.
Years ago I helped a friend with a stall at some pagan event. There was one of the old guard speaking as a headliner. Can't remember her name now but I remember she was wearing pearls and twinset and sneering at the unwashed mob. She ended her talk yelling about Britannia and vote for the Right Party to preserve Great Britain. I ran off laughing at the horrified looks from the crowd. That was in the late 90's/early 00's. I can only imagine the crowd's reaction in current year.

I was just going to comment that if this were 20 years ago I'd be sitting down to an episode of cops right now with my folks.
Edit: or was that on saturdays?

[starss]

Why is it that in every Current Year protest nowadays there have to be some neo-pagan/"witches" dressed up like weirdos and wanting to hex the patriarchy?

Because:


For those wondering if Pride month is going to get bitter about BLM, yes but they will never say it. That is why you see signs like "Black QUEER Lives Matter", "Black TRANS Lives Matter", "Black SEX WORKER Lives Matter", etc, because of the same image above.
