RE: What do you Think About Extreme Vetting?
The rhetoric of propagandists is not actually able to be reconciled with their actions. Humanist claims are made, and terrorism is actually what is effected. This is not a reflection on humanism, but on the quality of overlords. They are shit quality today, and not less so in the West. Historically, the vampiric overlords have proved to parasitize society as rampantly as possible, and this is vastly facilitated with modern propaganda techniques.
Fortunately, we will soon have thought reading tech to counter lying propagandists with, and the utility of propaganda will fall off a cliff. Fakebook has claimed to be able to directly translate thoughts, and soon lying politicians will no longer be able to lie their way to power.
And, overt military force is the whole point of propaganda. It's not either or, but how they work together. We're told we're paying the military to save babies from being torn out of incubators, but the truth is we're the ones swiping incubators as an act of war. The sooner such duplicity ends the sooner actual civilization will be possible, rather than the incessant parasitism that has characterized barbaric industrial society the last few centuries.
We don't need missionaries. We need profiteers that prevent parasitism from extracting their wealth. Since that is an economic motivation, it is a lowest common denominator that will ensure the broadest adoption of distributed production tech possible. That is real humanism, not the specious drivel of propagandists.
The right brand of humanism was not tried?
Terrorism is not humanism at all. Rhetoric is not action. You posture as unable to grasp the difference, but I am confident you are not as clueless as you pretend to be.
Right . . . true humanism was never enacted. Much like true communism, or true socialism, has never been tried. Stalin wasn't a communist; Hitler wasn't a socialist; and the Terror wasn't enforced by humanists. The reason for the ocean of ink used to propagate humanism is because ideas have no real world consequences.
If you've ever taken an IQ test, you'll be familiar with this format:
rhetoric is to action as humanism is to a) terrorism, b) propaganda, or c) both.
