Gentleness is the opposite of harshness. Basically where the flesh would lead you in rage to lash out, instead you would be gentle and metciful. All the fruits play off one another, so a big part of it is self control, not continuing harm from harm.

Now, don't get me wrong, the fruits don't mean there isn't a time for conflict, or for righteous anger. Only that a godly man does not go into it in wrath and hatred, but with a heart aligned with God's.

righteous anger seeks to correct maliciousness.

which is in accordance with the will of God

"Idiocracy is a really interesting movie, I genuinely think it illustrates where we're headed as a country"

-Berniebro in the breakroom at my work in 2019 spoken as if it's the most insightful statement ever uttered in human history

Their lack of self awareness is astounding

Dude says shit like this all the time, I liked the guy till I noticed. He's literally the soy, "wubba lubba dub dub" euphoric nihilist meme in real life

He was talking about that retarded Seth Rogan movie coming out with all the kids the other day to whoever would listen about how "brave" it was that they were showing a bunch of middle schoolers get into inappropriate sexual situations, and how much he enjoyed "watching the loss of innocence, because it's just so real, like that's real life man <:wojaksoy:515271052071534592> "

innocence is often lost due to some fucking retard who only thinks about sex who later incites his friends to it

Yeah, it's literally just puberty without father figures

But imagine taking pleasure in watching the innocence of children destroyed, like what the fuck kind of mindset lets you think that way?

Apathy I get, everyone is apathetic to some extent, but who the fuck thinks "I enjoy this good thing being permanently ruined"

"I want to watch more of this good, rare thing go away"

They literally are corruptors

guy got his destroyed

probably was fondled as a kid

"Wubba lubba dub dub life is meaningless let's go watch some kids get raped it's ok cause they signed consent waivers XD"

Though that mindset is pretty common. Like the demons in Hell, if you set yourself up against the truth, and resist it constantly, you naturally evolve into condemning everything without acception.

Nihilism is cancer

This is why Libertarianism can never work, we'd have to give freedom to these fucks

Imagine actually thinking people should have freedom

If people weren't retarded they should have freedom, but that's like saying if people had wings they'd fly. Both are contrary to human nature.

No, freedom is a false virtue.

Literally Satanic. Everything that is attributed to 'freedom' is actually a result of Divine Order and adherence to Virtue.

Freedom is self governance, as a basic concept. There would be nothing wrong with that were we created fit to govern.

But we were not

i actually enjoy, in a way, being surrounded by liberals.

my town: overtly liberal anywhere within a 5-mile radius of downtown(where i spend 90% of my time)
my family: conservatism is heresy
jew i live with: ultra-progressive
my job: full of millenial and genz who just repeat liberal talking points

i feel like a warrior. i debate anyone who i think won't lose their mind, and get off on it. when i can't debate peacefully, i drop subtle hints and see if people pick up on them. otherwise, i practice self-control.

because of this, i get tons of practice arguing certain ideas, and i think im better for it. ive been doing this for a while now.

Persecution is good for the spirit

It breeds strong faith

It breaks the weak though

Good.

Most of the time anyway.

I was weak, and it broke me for a short bit of time

I came back stronger though.

Still, persecution is only good for people who rise to some amount of virtue beforehand. For the confused people today, it will only cause more people to deconvert and never look back. Then again, we're living in a time of great tribulation, so maybe that's in accordance to God's justice.

We should still show 'some' mercy though, not much.

but is God conservative?

God is beyond any ideology

does serving God mean being conservative?

*as its defined in the modern world

Tough question
