No, you need to be more nuanced. This Although I never said he is stage Yellow. I said his openmindedness to different POV is a stage Yellow quality that I admire. People are complicated and full of contradictions. Very few public figures are solid Yellow. Which is the whole problem. And P.S., stages Green and Yellow are still fully within ego. It's a grave mistake to assume that a Yellow person is beyond ego.

Because he irresponsibility platforms Alex Jones, traffics in conspiracy theories, and promotes false equivalencies.

The contrast of these two videos tells you everything you need to know. Unconscious vs Conscious politics:

Be very careful with dosing. Plug instead of vape/snort. Always on an empty stomach.

@gggkkk Excellent! Good work

Yes, Elon Musk, please give us a platform where hate speech, racism, xenophobia, slander, lies, and outlandish conspiracy theories are allowed to flourish unchecked. Right-wing logic. The fundamental problem that the right-wing has is that their worldview is untenable, therefore they need a custom, closed ecosystem where they can inbreed with their own kind and escape facts en mass through self-validating circle-jerking. Far right ideas can only survive inside a reality-denying echo-chamber. Don't like the facts? No problem, just invent your own and gather a million like-minded people so that no one you talk to tells you otherwise.

My point was far more subtle than calling JP a Nazi. He is not a Nazi and he will speak out against explicit Nazi ideas. HOWEVER! -- His political ranting against SJWs and Cultural Marxists is part of an alt-right media echo-chamber that radicalizes millions of people. His ideas are the entry point to the MAGA rabbit hole via social media. This brainwashing of the population by right-wingers is very sneaky and subtle stuff. It is never explicit, and yet these media figures must all be held publicly accountable for the toxic ideologies they ease unsuspecting political noobs into: Charlie Kirk Joe Rogan Ben Shapiro Dave Rubin Jordan Peterson Tim Pool Steven Crowder Mike Cernovich Dennis Prager Alex Jones Stefan Molyneux Tucker Carlson Laura Ingraham Sean Hannity Lou Dobbs Jeanine Pirro Rush Limbaugh Mark Levin Fox & Friends Candice Owens Kaitlin Bennett Dinesh D'Souza Breitbart News FoxNews OANN NewsMax Sinclair Broadcasting The Koch brothers The Mercers And entire Trump family All of the above constitutes a subtle but highly toxic brainwashing funnel. The whole problem with indoctrination is that it's never explicit. Even the people doing it (the people above) do not know they are doing it. If they were conscious of what they were doing, they would stop doing it. There is rarely a direct link between the people above and violence, toxicity, and racism, but there is a serious indirect link. The primary mechanism of devilry is implicit and indirect because its allows for the shirking of responsibility. I teach the topics I teach in order to inoculate people against this bullshit. But I can't compete with the torrent of bullshit they churn out.

It should also be added that Jordan Peterson bears responsibility for this. His paranoia and fear-mongering about "cultural marxists" has infected the minds of millions of MAGA people, making them feel justified in doing whatever. His paranoia that the modern left will lead to Stalinism was exactly the opposite of true. The greater danger has always been that the paranoia around Green stoked by the likes of JP and his ilk will lead to right-wing fascism. This man needs to be discredited as a public intellectual. For all of JP's study and deep cotemplation of Hitler's evils, he ends up siding with neo-Nazis.

I do. God is Infinity.

I have posted multiple examples earlier in this thread of good conservatives, like Joe Scarborough and David Frum. Of course Arnold is awesome. The only conservative I ever voted for, and probably the last.

It's important to stress that not all conservatives are MAGA. There are some decent conservatives who don't get fooled by MAGA.

You are the sole arbiter of all truth in the universe. Ta-da!

@intotheblack Ironically Trump does more harm and damage via Twitter than nukes. The military command will never allow him to launch a nuke. Trump does not actually control the nukes. If he ever called for their use his order would go ignored. That's how real power works.

But he can no longer do it from the comfort of his toilet. Wouldn't you say that's unfair and mean? Did not our founding fathers intend for the President to be able to incite riots from his golden toilet? Is this not the land of the free?

In a free, health society, so-called "rape" must be allowed in order to be countered properly. Your logic, not mine.

This is the propagnda that's corrupting people's minds:

@The Don Dude, please just stop with this nonsense.

If he consumed a bunch of right-wing media for 4 years, he would be MAGA. It cannot be over-stated how much damage right-wing media does to corrupt people's minds. People do not go batshit crazy by themselves. They are indoctrinated into it by demagogues, grifters, and friends. It is collective self-delusion.

Find the gene(s) responsible for openmindedness.

@Gesundheit You are the miracle.

This is MAGA in a nutshell: Dale Gribble

Lol It's going straight in the toilet.

I believe in whatever people can democratically handle at the moment. This is not an ideology for me. You must work with the reality on the ground, not your wishes. Bernie was unable to democratically win. The end. That's not to say it can't be tried again next election. But you can only be as progressive as the majority of people are willing to accept. You must meet people where they are at, not where you're at. Just like how MAGA is in denial that Trump legit lost, progressives are in denial that Bernie legit lost. They both make excuses because they live in fantasyland and refuse to acknowledge reality. Ideology makes one blind to reality.

It will be whatever your mind makes of it. Some people are scared of black people. Is that because black people are scary, or because their mind is stuck? It is your responsibility how you use your mind to interpret things.

Spirituality is the best solution to suffering. If you have a toothache you go to the dentist. Material problems should be solved at their proper material level. When your child is hungry, you don't pray to God, you go cook your child breakfast.
