Grace, compassion and humility are free and are the best hope for humanity.

Meanwhile the ruling class is shitting over everyone "legally" poisoning us all with shit food and drugs because they are also in control of the laws.
For starters....

So, what, does that mean we shouldn't treat people with grace, compassion and humility?

So, what, does that mean we shouldn't live with grace, compassion and humility?

Not at all.
But they don't give a flying fuk about any one of us.
And they pull the strings. Every string.

If you want to prove the world is round you can pretty much just look at the fact that the far, far left and the far, far right, is really just the same person standing there willing to kill for an impossible ideal.

IMO, with the advancing AI/Robotics we have about 20-ish years left until we are at a Ready Player One type of society. The majority of people will live in poverty with subsidized housing and UBI. Your purpose will be to consume the junk food, junk medicine, social media, etc. but never enough to build any meaningful wealth and freedom. Right now we are at a turning point. There are a lot of us that could probably just ride out our years and most likely not have see/live in this dystopian future. The problem is, our kids and grandkids will.

Well first off, I kind of subscribe to the Thanos view that there is about 2x or more people than there needs to be.

how do you reconcile that with your christian belief in a sovereign God?

Ah, so we should commit mass murder of the billionaires and political elite, 'for the children'.

In all my years here and on the old forum I have heard, and likely said, some pretty unhinged stuff. But congrats, you're the new leader in clubhouse.

The Flood, Sodom and Gamora, etc. The bible is filled with stories of mankind growing too large and too sinful. Then God had to come and lay the smack down. I'm not saying whether or not this reckoning should come from man or God, just that I think we are at that point again.

Hypothetically speaking, if a revolutionary/civil war kicks of in the near future are you siding with the patriots or are you "Kings man", with the Tories?

Hard to say. Depends on where the sides draw the lines.

And a revolutionary/civil war is quite different than advocating the targeted killing of people who make a fuckton of money.

...I kind of subscribe to the Thanos view that there is about 2x or more people than there needs to be...

So specifically which half of mankind do you think need to be exterminated?

Who will survive Doug's Great Purge?

[mowens]

And who decides who lives and dies?

Kill all the warmongers!! 

[YoDoug]

Kill all the warmongers!! 

If you want to kill Lindsey Graham I won't stand in your way.

[mowens]

Kill everyone who advocates violent death for people they don't like!!

If you think it's about the money then you don't understand the problem.
