  2.  @ajhproductions2347  So you saw a video of a random guy failing to break tempered glass and you generalize that to a group of people who share a single belief? Not very thoughtful, bucko.

  3. "The embrace, by working Americans, of policies that hurt their own interests can be understood on the basis of Ferenczi’s model of identification with the aggressor. Intrafamilial child abuse is often followed by the abuser’s denial. Children typically comply with abuse, in behavior and by embracing the abuser’s false reality, under threat of emotional abandonment. Similarly in the sociopolitical sphere, increasing threats of cultural and economic dispossession have pressed working Americans to adopt an ideology that misrepresents reality and justifies their oppression. In society as in the family, there can be a compensatory narcissistic reaction to forfeiting one’s rights that, ironically, encourages feelings of power and specialness while facilitating submission."

  4.  @ajhproductions2347  Odd underestimation to make. I'd say the former OSS would offer significant proof to the contrary.

  11. "The very word "Christianity" is a misunderstanding—at bottom there was only one Christian, and he died on the cross. The "Gospels" died on the cross. What, from that moment onward, was called the "Gospels" was the very reverse of what he had lived: "bad tidings," a Dysangelium." Friedrich Nietzsche, Der Antichrist (The Antichrist or The Antichristian, depending on how the original German title is translated)
