As socialists postulated class warfare, so feminists believe in sex warfare, a battle of the sexes.
And they fight exclusively for women, as they see it.
They seek to dominate and humiliate men and establish a kind of matriarchy.
They are female supremacists.
To hell with these bitches, I say.
“Imperfect duties such as duties of charity could be rendered perfect by developing institutions that specify and enforce duties of generosity to others” (Sypnowich, The Egalitarian Conscience: 180).
Well, first, in that case they would cease of be duties of charity because charity is by its nature voluntary and would become duties of violence if there was such a thing.
Second, they would cease to be duties of charity because as duties, they are means to the cultivation of charity, to kindling the holy light in the heart. If they are “enforced,” this effect does not occur and so, as soon as the end is abolished, the means are rendered unnecessary.
Welfare statists seek to plunder God of love, and the punishment for this is hell.
Many on the Left champion the “underprivileged.”
They say that the lumpenproletarian scum — the criminals, the vicious, the sex freaks, the nutjobs — are good because they are wretched, and the normal people, especially the successful, are evil because they are happy.
This is a confusion between lowness in nature and lowness in grace.
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.” (Mt 25:35-6) The prisoner is low in nature, the one who visited him may be high in nature but low in grace.
Lowness in nature, as with the lumpens, is a source of shame; lowness in grace, where a man willingly serves God, is a source of glory in heaven.
Those high in nature and low in grace will be exalted a million-fold in glory; those low in nature, well, “to anyone who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he seems to have will be taken away” (Lk 19:26).
An email from my bank has the following in the fine print:
Save paper. Please think before you print.
Save paper? Why? Is there a some sort of dire shortage of paper?
Is it a new “current thing” that we must all “support”?
Is it some weird environmental wokism?
I’ll make you a deal: you support reforming the monetary system toward a 100%-reserve gold dollar, and I’ll save the fucking paper.
Sean Carroll:
Claims that some form of consciousness persists after our bodies die and decay into their constituent atoms face one huge, insuperable obstacle.
And there’s no way within those laws to allow for the information stored in our brains to persist after we die.
Well, obviously, the brain corrupts totally. But his statement would be true only if the mind were merely material.
If the soul is immaterial and (as rational) naturally immortal, his argument does not go through.
Carroll studies physics, and he thinks there is in the world nothing but physics. It’s silly.
Philosophers who use feminine pronouns say: “I’m being woke. I hope this is sufficiently pleasing to you. Now can you leave me alone so that I can think?”
A woke person, in my opinion, has lost all his self-respect.
Statists think that government regulation hurts the rapacious businessmen and benefits the common good.
In fact, the opposite is true: regulation benefits the businessmen such as by protecting them from competition through cartelizing industries and hurts the common good by harming consumers and reducing economic growth.
I’m reading this on Steam:
On April 22, we celebrate this year’s World Earth Day… or do we? Our dear planet faces human-made issues such as climate change, pollution, overpopulation, lack of sustainability, and conflicts. The selection of discounted post-apocalyptic games serves as a grim reminder of that.
I like “overpopulation.” The message is, “There are too many of you, motherfucking customers. Here at Steam, we don’t want your money, we want you dead.”
90% of environmentalism is fact-free pretexts for tyranny and communism.
The other not-totally-invalid 10% are problems that will not be solved by tyranny and communism.
“Non-leftist speech is violence” and “leftist violence is speech” is an evolution of “freedom is slavery.”
Well, why not?
A university is a “universe,” as of ideas, including, and especially, those you disagree with.
Students “protesting” speakers whose opinions they do not share is like a Christian church not worshiping Jesus.
