I'd advocate removing them from society or existence entirely, but I wouldn't force people to accept that position.

It seems like extreme leftism and Antifa methodology are an emergent phenomenon from groups with a majority of emotion-heavy reasoning

emotion vs rationality

Silencing opposition is still silencing opposition, regardless of the views of each side

It is something people do when they feel they are pushed, or they feel entitled. Those people are on all sides of discussions too, fear is often used as a tool of politics.

@Fitzydog It's them coming to accept that they cannot convince or intimidate everyone through subtle means.

all people are emotionial. some a bit more than others

@banestrum I don't think it's even THAT deep. We're dealing with a formless monster here

a formless monster ??

It's like the inverse of 'Wisdom of the Masses'

@Omsomething Yes, and for the good of everyone who isn't a cluster B malcontent or some other form of mental defective they should not be allowed to occupy positions of influence in society, as they will invariably abuse the power of those positions to further personal goals or for other selfish reasons at the expense of society as a whole.

@Fitzydog The formless monster lives in academia and has tenure.

They know how to point it in the right direction, sure

Maybe, but it also gets tiring i am sure. If you have had the SAME DISCUSSION with 1000 people about things which is to you absolutely simple and true it WILL make sense to tell people to get fucked.

And a lot of times when people are silenced it is not really something done consciously. They have bad routes of normal action.

Yes but doing that is counterproductive and if you hope to make lasting changes by being seen as a reasonable and levelheaded person you will not go and get emotional and yell at people for disagreeing

Lets say a child who has always gotten their way by starting to sob and cry, it has ALWAYS WORKED. Why would they not keep carrying on with it since it works?

It's just against your best interests on every level and serves no purpose other than to make you less convincing

@Omsomething Yes but children eventually are conditioned to not do that because someone who does that is insufferable and would not function well in society, to say nothing of their mental state if they went through life like that.

I am not sure about it being counterproductive, to me it seems to be working that people are appealing to better nature and goodness of humanity to get their aims and get in positions of power while silencing those "others" who disagree as evil.

was geht

what did i miss

It's a positive feedback loop for those who do it as well

you guys do know that such a thinh as evil person for the sake of being evil exist. right... idc for oh circumstance.. or your definition of bad and good or saying objective manner there is no evil... sociopathics control freaks arent evil but when they are sadistic they will get high positions

Unfortunately we are dealing with overgrown children who possess significant power and influence and calmly explaining why what they are doing is wrong does not yield results fast enough to undo the damage they are doing to social cohesion

@ITS HE-MA'AM Yeah, but the stupid masses aren't evil

Personally i do not believe there is evil people, just people consider bad things to be good.

This is demonstrably incorrect unless you think evil does not include people who believe they are good

Semantics

well the stupid masses onky care about themselves... not enough care for others

you think a cartel member thinks he is a good boi

But it doesn't really matter if they are evil or not since they bottom line is that they are destructive to human society.

@ITS HE-MA'AM Like I've said, I think you're giving the larger group too much sovereignty and credit

watch interview with the iceman. some people realize they are evil. as in lets torture this cat..

Not really, person who wants to slice me up to save me from the satan has "logical" thought patterns. If you just call him evil you do not understand or care why he is wrong and how he could be, eventually, fixed.

Nothing comes above ensuring the security and survival of the species, least of all one person's beliefs about others. Square pegs need to be beaten into their round holes.

@Omsomething That's sort of my point.

I don't really care about the internal workings of each leftist's brain and why they think what/how they do, I care about how to get them to stop what they are doing.

@Fitzydog well that is in what power they have over their own behavior.. who doesnt think about free will being an illusion to influence. doesnt hold much info on how to improve

@banestrum Same thing.

Eh, some people call me leftist while others call me a nazi.. Left/Right divide might be more arbitary than a lot of people make it out to be.
