I need more Jesus (Chicken Sandwich from CFA) in my life with some more Jesus Water (Sweet Tea) to boot, amen.

GF got ultra pissed at me yesterday when I called out that Hilter used some ideas from the Socialist concepts of equality and junk. She can't wrap her head that Hilter used some Socialist ideas back in the day. Since my GF is a complete 180 of me (she is a borderline Far-Left Socialist Antifa fangirl), it might be hard for her to understand my viewpoint. She got ultra pissed at me yesterday when I say Antifa/Proud Boys what's the difference, they mostly are the same shit. She said "Proud Boys are more violent than Antifa and Antifa only resorts to violence at the last resort." I'm like "I can't tell, most people in the middle can't tell. Both sides are coco for coco puffs!" (even as a Libertarian, I see myself as a middle road type of guy of morality if that's a thing). Then she said "Antifa does a bad job on communicating." I just kind of laughed and move on to another subject.

Didn't want to tell her that most people of the Jewish faith hate Communism/Socialism with a passion. I mean, our people kind of birth these concepts to begin with...and most of us rejected that shit. I use that The Socialist Manifesto book as toilet paper for my ass, you don't make people the "same" by robbing them of their individualism/humanity to achieve equality.

 

isn't that the truth of it?

this is a really great distinction. to my way of thinking, I'd use religious where you use spiritual and vice versa, but your point is beautifully made.

 

I don't f'ing know anymore with people getting ultra pissed when I say something that is truthful.

One thing that became more interesting over the years that out of my old college roommates/friends, almost half of them transitioned into a difference gender. That is out of a group of ten people, four of them transitioned. The four share similar things:

• Heavy into video games/nerd culture/tech.
• For the longest time where lonely due to not able to get a GF (attitude related).
• Far-Left beliefs.
• Not really religious at all, and almost all of them do not like organized religion for oppressions reasons.

I love my friends a lot since they are good people, but I do admit that I been drifting away from them since I don't really game that much anymore and my political beliefs are 180 from theirs. It is more/less they prefer to be with people who are similar to them (including being only friends with those who are in the LGBT community). Also, the language they been speaking (pro-nouns and terms) I can't really keep up with them since they keep charging the meaning left and right. One of my friends stated "Never tell me the memories of me being a cis male." Which I'm like "Dude, I know you for over a decade." One other one got on my ass for saying the wrong term when I said it wrong as a honest mistake. I'm like "my goodness, f**k this term language shit I'm throwing in the towel."

I'm actually respectful for people if they ask me they prefer a certain pro-noun/gender (Jordan Peterson said the same thing on multiple videos, he doesn't believe it should be compelled speech). I'm not an asshole about it and I'm actually pretty respectful. But don't attack my ass for one simple mistake, that just tells people that f**k this shit.

I also agree with @purr1n about the Latinx thing. I don't know any Latitos who use that term, the only ones who used that term are lefty white folks like my GF. What the f**k is Latinx? I know one thing, Latinos hate being lumped into one group. Tell the Cubans they are the same as a Puerto Rican and see how much the Cubans wanna beat up your ass. At least I am "spiritual" enough to know that people act differently from different countries. Same shit applies with South America where most people speak Spanish, but we have an English speaking Country, a Dutch speaking Country, a French Colony, and a Portuguese speaking Country.

 

Welp I wouldn't wish a convenient localised flood that did a minuscule amount of damage to a specific basement while serving as a minor inconvenience to the occupants of the house attached thereto onto most people, but... cringe need be expunged XD

I don't entirely agree on spiritual vs religious, but yeah it's a useless, persnickety distinction at this point. Everyone has different personal experiences but the ones who have a prescribed dogma to adhere to certainly are more fervent and driven, but given the nature of how religion has been perverted in many senses of the word nowadays it's something of a double-edged gun. The spiritual people I've known are driven in their own way and while some of them do sincerely believe in crystals and faith healing, those are comparatively few. The girl that gave me the pyrite ring I'm always wearing is one such person [there goes my impartiality?], and while I don't think it's doing much at all other than getting in the way from time to time, it's a nice reminder to keep trying.

What is likable about the spiritual as opposed to the strongly religious is how they're not excessively dogmatic and are often kind just for the sake of being kind, actions bearing visible fruit as cultivated. Ultimately though, it doesn't really matter all that much and the thousands of religions and myriad paths of spirituality are just different avenues with the same end goal, and there are wise and kind people and misguided people on both roads alike.

 

The "socialism" in National Socialism was to indicate that it was a nationalist (fascist) alternative to European socialism of the time, which they very much opposed. They certainly appropriated some socialist rhetoric and there were still some remnants of socialist thought in the early party, but Hitler literally killed off that branch of the party once he had enough support. It's fair to say that by the time Hitler was in power there was almost nothing classically "socialist" about the Nazis.

 

Communism is definitely philosophically closer to socialism than Nazism is to socialism, though I would argue still notably distinct

 

Mass murder is the natural conclusion of any sort of totalitarian state, regardless of supposed underlying political philosophy

 

So... a bit like Tony Blair, then?

 

I am getting to that point...but I'm still a loving fuzzball so yup.

Tell me about it, it's a quick feel good thing with Pronouns that doesn't really do shit. I know people at my employer who are LGBT and they are getting sick of the "corporate pride" crap that they just want to be left alone and do their jobs.

 

Fair enough list, though I'm not sure I'd let modern China off the hook just because they've moved on to subtler, less shit-stirring ongoing purges of opposition thought

 

Let me tell you this story of when I went to a Christmas concert at an LGBT friendly church and there was a gay couple in front of me. We exchanged pleasantries and seasonal greetings, I learned and promptly forgot their names, didn't say anything to each other for the entire concert, and I never saw them again. Truly one of the most harrowing experiences of my life.

 

That's the first step in the gay agenda. Idle chit chat. You're lucky to get out of there alive.

 

What's next... talking about the weather? discussing the local sportsball team? The horror, the horror.

 

Oh shit, don't talk sportsball. Not after our local team's end of year celebrations were likely an omicron superspreader event!

 

I'm not even a sportsball guy, but I'll admit that was an exciting game.
