  6. Hannah Arendt, the German-American historian and philosopher, has a quote about the tactics of today’s politicians, "The constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.

"And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want"

    32
  31. Would the world be better with more Mark Cubans or more Elon Musks?

    23
  48. When enough people ask hard tangible questions like, "What specifically is your final goal?" or "What would replace the police?" and demand answers, it is kryptonite to authoritarians in training such as many of these Woke activists.

    23
  50. One way to be anti-woke is to love thy neighbor as thy self.
    22

  76. With basic math, using pure reason always comes to the exact same answer. But life is so much more than basic math, no one can use pure reason because humans are imperfect, and we are all biased in what answers we want or have been told we want.
    12
  77. Of course what you don't hear is the, "… or else!"

  234. If you want to know if science is real science, a science where human bias is minimized, look for some of the clues: Are elites saying that, the science of settled? Are the masses told to accept a scientific consensus? Are scientific methods and conclusions being debated? Are other scientific viewpoints being canceled? Are scientists with other viewpoints being canceled? Does the science follow the scientific method? Is there a conclusion built first and a hypothesis generated later? Is the full data of from the scientific processes available for study? Are unfalsifiable claims or terms being used to bias some conclusion and push some solution?

  247. One problem is their morally superior feeling pursuit of ideal communism, or other collectivist ideologies, by systematically eliminating the people that don't support their dream. This essentially sows the seeds of genocide. These seeds do not always take root.
    3
  248.  @bablumalla5190  What I perceive is a representation of the physical reality. My guess is that if all life in the universe ceased to exist the stuff of realty would continue, and in time likely create new life.

    2
  264. A brutal wave of critical activism progressing civilization backwards.

    2
  266. It's like there's a conspiracy to only allow critical thinkers to critically think politically correct thoughts.
    2

    2
  276. @Roberto Vidal Garcia ​ A lot of people have an opinion about Adolf Hitler and his theories even though they didn't study or understand his writings. Meaning one doesn't have to be some expert at something to have opinion about something.
    2
  277. True. These newest Illiberal ideologies are designed like a virus, and that's their word for them. People, such as parents, are just starting to realize this.
    2
  278.  @SosopChabot It sure helps slow the devolution of a civil society into totalitarianism. Too many see that as the problem.

  291.  @nedames3328  This sounds suspiciously like an, Other people are not doing what I want them to do argument. Or, if I was the economic dictator I could do things much better.
    2
  292.  @nedames3328  We all judge. It's more like, who are you to be judge jury and executioner. And, a voluntary/responsibility system is much more effective in the long run than a totalitarian system. I believe this is true regardless if I agree with your particular example.

    2
  311.  @sciencecompliance235  if your employees harass people that don't have the same political beliefs as they do at work, why are they working for you? Unless you support that kind of harassment at work. Either way, it is wrong. And as you seem to point out, two wrongs don't make it right.

  412. If you want to know if science is real science, a science where human bias is minimized, look for the clues: Are elites saying that, the science of settled? Are the masses told to accept a scientific consensus? Are scientific methods and conclusions being debated? Are other scientific viewpoints being canceled? Are scientists with other viewpoints being canceled? Does the science follow the scientific method? Is there a conclusion built first and a hypothesis generated later? Is the full data of from the scientific processes available for study? Are unfalsifiable claims or terms being used to bias some conclusion and push some solution?
