Not everyone has an inner voice telling them what's right or wrong. I used to think they did. Or, they don't listen to it. Either way, same thing. In any case, most of those values are just common sense. They come back to you more than if you try to bypass them. It's, just, how it is.
Same. I thought everybody has to be yanno... Sentient. But these Antifa people just..... Would it be OK to say they act like Animals? Because they literally have no humanity. it's just all Animistic instinct to them
blm chants "say his name" as satanic ritual trying to conjure evil spirits. This is why they only take up the cause of the most evil. Everyone participating is exposed.
There's a process here, and they're trying to produce an effective paramilitary force. They're more lethal now than they were 3 months ago.
It’s not a bad thing to follow a doctrine that has lasted thousands of years and created the most advanced and free societies the world has ever known.
Yeah, I'm about 90% certain the reason the Dark Ages line up within about 500 years of Islam coming on the scene was because Islam put countless libraries to the torch. They literally burned hundreds of years of cultural and intellectual development and set the world back because, "mUhh PrOOpheT MuiHamMad".
You clearly have no idea what collapsed the European economy into the dark ages. It was loss of trade across the Mediterranean. Look at when the collapse occurred, and compare it to the rise of Islam.
It is poverty that prevented people from literacy, learning, and meaningful Christianity.
You have your horse and your carriage thoroughly confused.
The problem with that is that even if you keep the good parts of the philosophy, the metaphysical portion is bunk.
Do you have any non-metaphysical or physical evidence to support your position?
Technically, Christian philosophy got us out of the dark ages, but Christian religion got us into it in the first place.
Officially, Christian philosophy and values upon which we founded the most successful and just countries on Earth is what got us out of the dark ages. To blame the "Christian religion" for getting us "into it in the first place" is to willfully ignore the absolutely destructive and destabilizing force that was brought by bloodthirsty savages bursting out of the Arabian peninsula from the 600s onward. These gullible imbeciles raped, stole, killed, and destroyed everything in their way in the name of a false god, and for the ultimate hope of gaining the opportunity to rape 72 giant, transparent-skinned, perpetual virgins for eternity. This calamity is what really destabilized what was at the time a prosperous region, full of trans-Mediterranean trade and a common faith and culture. Remember that this tragedy did not only advance by land, but that it raided towns across the Mediterranean, everywhere, unpredictably and without pause for hundreds of years. This is what got us into, and kept us in the dark ages.
I interpret a lot of the bible as symbology rather than literal events to teach the ethics in a way people can understand in a time when literacy was rare. I still believe in God and accept Jesus, just don't follow organized religion. I think it has a lot to do with not having that sort of community in my life and growing up in a leftist degenerate shithole of a city, and that sort of organized religion is probably good overall.
People in the US aren't raised anymore by other people. They're just given daycare and vidya. That inner voice usually isn't spontaneous, but rather needs to be taught and developed in most people by the people raising them.
That's crazy, saying to not touch something that is so hot you can feel the heat coming off of it is also common sense, unfortunately the University education system in the US trains that out of people to the point they couldn't find their ass without a textbook telling them where it is.
That, in and of itself, has me pretty down, even if magically Trump undoes 20 years of indoctrination in the next eight, it'll take 20 years at least to undue all the issues caused by the Democrats
"they couldn't find their ass without a textbook". That's a great phrase. I could picture the kid looking up the book and the book describing "your ass is located on top of your legs and below your spine."
Also, it seems to me, outside of math, science and foreign language, it might be better to learn without a textbook.
I feel the same way, though to be fair, I feel like all this shit started with George Bush and his No Child Left Behind where they dumbed down the American education system to the point an idiot can pass high school.

Yep, Some people are un-ironically NPCs, And it's honestly a little scary.
I used to think it was just a meme. Now I'm not so sure.

You thought correctly. I teach ancient history.
It was degeneracy plus letting hordes of barbarians settle inside of their empire...

It's not that their heads are empty, they are full of what isn't true.

You sound like a leftist, math is that example 2+2 ALWAYS equals 4, no matter how much you scream
Enter a standard of truth.
Is it true that there is no clear delineation of that sort of example, and things that are objectively untrue?
You're engaging in post-mpost-modernism.
You say this only because you lack it.
