Personal Philosophies

[Charlemagne]

What I like about Jordan Peterson: He pisses off the left-wing crackpots who it really, really pleases me to see be pissed off.

What I dislike about Jordan Peterson: He's fallen for the Christianity scam, which error shows him up as just as gullible and just as crackpot as any neon-haired leftist kook.

Because communism/socialism/whatever-they-renamed-it-to-hide-what-it-really-is-this-week operates on the same primitive dipshit switch as Christianity/Judaism/Islam does.

Same old fucking switch in the same old fucking monkey brain. "Here's this problem. You can't see it, you can't quantify it, we can't (and won't be bothered to try to) prove it, but here's a problem.

And guess what? We have the solution. Only we have the solution to this problem that -- we promise -- is afflicting you. Only this very special club we have formed, this very, very exclusive club that we have formed, can solve this problem. Which we again remind you is a very real problem that we in no way totally invented in order to get you to turn to us for salvation, by the way!

And all you have to do to be saved from this problem which -- we promise! -- we didn't totally invent, whole cloth, just to get you to do this -- is surrender. Surrender you life to us. Let us control you. Let us decide what you say, because if we can decide what you can and can't say, that lets us decide what you will and won't think. And once we can do that, we fucking own you.

So maybe here's another angle on my personal philosophy:

Non dii, non domini.

"No gods, no masters."

So, I just thought back on this, and realized something. I have yet to meet a hardcore Christian/Evangelical who was neither A - a raging hypocrite, B - a goddamned liar, or C - a complete and utter dumbfuck. If I compiled some of the ridiculous shit I've seen and heard from that crowd into one person, we'd have someone who...
- Believes that the image of Goatse Photoshopped onto clouds is a real photo of God's hands opening up heaven...
- Thinks that the reason unicorns don't exist is because they failed to make it onto Noah's ark...
- Considers rewards cards to be the Mark of the Beast...
- Thinks that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are War, Death, Fire, and Water...
- Refuses to support friends and relatives if they support a group whose politics don't align with their own...
- But will lie to those same friends and relatives in order to get them to support the groups whose politics do align with theirs...
- And will be super gung-ho about war, until it's their turn to serve, at which point they'll try to weasel out of it.

I wonder if she and Paul Simon ever did anything together. They were connected or married for awhile.

I started a thread in TK media center. Search under "Edie Brickell and Paul Simon" They did quite a bit together.

Rewards cards ARE the mark of the beast! (or at least they are of the devil!)
