People will naturally rebel to change, especially when you are trying to force a change in ingrained thinking.

Again was the change the atheists got inherianrly good for society?

realizing that is how you redpill out of fascism tbh

In some ways sure

In some ways obviously not

took me pretty much one year to figure that out annoyingly enough

14 yr old me was cringe

I think if people want to do good, moral speeches are the worst way to enact change, look at climate change

Ya. Cause handing politicians money and saying trust them while they give it to a bunch of warlords doesn’t stoke much confidence anything will change.

i wouldnt describe greta as a moral speech though, moreso just reeeeeing

You cannot tell people "You are wrong, dumb, and terrible people" for any reason and have them think of cool, thanks for letting me know I will change.

moral speeches are often charged with an air of self-aggrandizement

and self-appeasement

true, but ~~some~~ most people dont realize that still

I mean, hey, I've fallen for that trap before

She is trying to appeal to morality "think of the children" IS a moral argument.

I mean who hasn’t we’re human lol

yep

Just gotta detach as much as you can

strictly true but im using the definition as a quality bar

there are some moral speeches that are high quality

Sad how much you have to actually numb your brain to not be a slave to emotion

Which is what the crazies seem to not do

it's a hard balance to be sure

I can't stand to stroke myself off over other people though, I can't stand shit like that, is dehumanizing at worst at best it's moral grandstanding.

moral argument > moral speech

not by a mile but it is better

Oh, I don't mean as in "look at you filth and how bad you are"

Sure @Kealor but those don't belittle people, the lift others to higher action.

Moral Fags are honestly even more dangerous sometimes then zealots

^

Or at the very least can cause as much damage

Least in terms of the titanic moral shit the lefty politicians advocate now a days

“Societal upheaval? Don’t worry about it.”

whitey did a bad

cancel civilization

I have took the test

ja, ich bin herr corbyn, und ich gas die juden ja

religious authoritarian progressive

People will live up or down to your expectations, set a high bar and people will try to reach that, they may fail, but setting the bar for people to fail, because you see them as that they will live down to that expectation.
