Jake,

Simon isn’t it presumptively bad faith to silence someone> I mean maybe not if it is the far left and the speaker is opposed to the lefty mythology. Or if it is Trump it is always in good faith to silence his opposition.

You do bring up a great point, albeit in a different thread. What is meant by “good faith” and “bad faith?”. And how c…[Read more]

The goal should not be the absence of disagreement, but the presence of robust dialogue.

And preferably over a cup of robust Nescafé:

Of course, Goya’s Warning System has broken down when people get shot over their spoken thought or have their broadcast licenses pulled in the name of…[Read more]

Likewise, it’s unproductive to seek to silence people we disagree with, in good faith.  It’s more productive to engage with them and debate.

Jake,

Enco i don’t see it.

I read a book about the Concordat and it is fuzzy now but the support from both Lutheran and Catholic Church was strong. Yet it was not i think indispensable. You might wonder what would have happened if it had been denounced by either superstition.

Thing is irrational thoughts tend to come in bunches, and tend to r…[Read more]

Robert,

As if city life is worse now than the 60s and 70s. Then the cities were deprived of funds during the decades long white exodus out to the burbs but when that was found the be too boring, the trend reversed and wealthy whites wanted back in, redevelopment and rents went up, the propaganda started when Karens and Kens smelled too much…

Jake,

And it was not primarily a Christian movement or spurred by it notwithstanding Lutheranism or the Concordat.

Here’s where you’re mistaken about Nazism. It couldn’t have gotten as far as it did without support from both Catholic and Protestant religion. The Nazis also got support from Occultism such as Madame Blavatsky, who gave them the…[Read more]

Robert,

I don’t know how to post a reply to an update, so I’ll have to post it here.

Trump would have no pretext for using the National Guard or Military on cities if the Mayors and City Councils and Judges had a handle on things.

What happened to Irina Zarutsa in Charlotte, NC is just a single example of how rotten life in U.S. cities can…[Read more]

Jake,

Enco there are maybe 5 people who are regular contributors. And how many read our scribbles? Twice that? None. IDK. Gotta be negligible. Am i rite?

You might be right, but I did want to practice some alliterative allusions and maybe get some creative call back. I guess “scribbles” and “negligible” in close proximity counts.

Jake,

Great posts on Gaza and Palestinianism as always. But if it was in reply to me and Robert, you posted on the wrong thread. This might confuse people just getting here.

Continuity makes for greater equanimity and a greater chance of your ideas of polity and society getting ubiquity and amity, amirite?

Jake,

And he didn’t post his filing for bankruptcy along with that sign? He clearly thinks the delusion that Deutschemarks have different valuation depending on who holds them.
