If 'logic' allows someone to rationalize away the death of 5 young children then as far as I'm concerned they can shove their logic up their ass.
I'm sorry but what are you even on about? Since when did I rationalize away the death of 5 children? I think you have a major misconception about what logic really is.
Do you even read my posts before responding to them? I thought I was quite clear in saying I belong to neither end of the political spectrum. So, save your anti-leftist agenda, as I'm not interested, it doesn't apply to me, and you're shadow boxing with yourself. I think the political system and parties is all BS meant to sow division within society. You are a perfect example that the strategy is working. You're not even hearing what others say but are fighting some invisible battle of idea(l)s within yourself.
In reality, the aristocrats never went away. They never abdicated their power, and the ("democratic") system we have now is just a silly circus meant to keep us entertained and busy, not realizing the uppermost (political) elite still consists of the same aristocratic bloodlines that have been in power for thousands of years. Once you really look at the family tree of elites, they're all related somehow.
I'm not a fan of the Black Lives Matter movement either, as that's just yet another example of a movement that claims to stand for peace and unity, but is actually just a symptom of the problem. It's not possible to make peace by fighting a war of identity and ideals. All lives matter, and that should be quite obvious to everyone. Sadly, these labels and groups are like blinders. When you think you belong to a group you're just intensifying the conflict. By saying Black Lives Matter, or vice versa, you've already identified with a race, and hence are in conflict with the rest of the world.
"I belong to this group, and everyone outside of this group better join it or be my enemies"
Since when has that ever worked? It's obvious to me the solution isn't to increase identification with labels and groups, but to realize oneself as but a wave on the surface of the ocean that is the world. The wave isn't separate, but is actually arising as a part of the ocean, and it would not exist if it wasn't for the ocean. That's enough spirituality for today. Come back tomorrow for another nugget of truth...
Or, you know, keep fighting this pointless war of identity. Your choice.
