What you don't know can't hurt them.

What's sensational, but only that, is what some teens do to capture a market. Satanism and Illuminati memes are prolific, and I'm sure, taken to be factual when they are nothing more than a marketing gimmick.
That vigilant citizen site is something else. "An entire article could be written about this ultimate depiction of human suffering."

Anti-capitalist? Quite the contrary, to be sure: "What's sensational, but only that, is what some teens do to capture a market.

But seriously, does it not occur to you that something horribly, horribly fucking wrong has happened when catering to tween entertainment demand means feeding them satanic mind control?
I'm reminded every day that something's horribly wrong, and acknowledge I'm all but powerless these days to change anything more than my underwear. My days of activism has passed on to a new generation, so in pursuing me with your questions, you're barking up the wrong tree. I don't recall your concern about the dark encompassing heavy metal artists, who preach hate from the same book, ever being mentioned here before. Hey, I saw Alice Cooper perform "Killer," but it didn't make me want to murder and eat anyone."But seriously, does it not occur to you that something horribly, horribly fucking wrong has happened when catering to tween entertainment demand means feeding them satanic mind control?"

4thB, you really need to drop that "enlightenment" bit. It's not enlightenment that's the reward, but power, whether real or imagined. And forget about creating artificial division lines - left = evil and right = goodness. It alters the argument by polarizing your audience and through misdirection. Satanism is as widespread as the Roman Catholic Church, so I've been led to believe after reading only a bit of RI's vast archives.FourthBase » Sat Oct 05, 2019 11:19 am wrote:And yeah I get the irony of how creepy, sadistic, demonic, and cannibalistic the Christian fetish for sacrificing Jesus is, too.

If the new youth voice appointed by MTV were a Swedish black metal band, I would absolutely be just as appalled. And, yes, looking back, it's probably not healthy for kids to grow up on the dark propaganda of even mainstream heavy metal, either. Such kids might not themselves mature into psychotic monsters, but they'll be so gradually deadened and blinded to deepening abnormality that they'll wind up letting their kids grow up on satanic mind control propaganda until one day, lo and behold, devil-worshipping cannibals are totally normal.Iamwhomiam » 05 Oct 2019 13:12 wrote:Anti-capitalist?

Maybe. But then again the women having abortions to serve up as sacrificial meals would be consenting to it in a way cows and hens and fish and bees can't. Ultimately, the aborted fetus is mere tissue to pro-choice absolutists, no more special than a placenta which gets made into casserole or soup, no more sacred than evacuated human shit. Is coprophagia haram to vegans? Then again, a witch might want to eat a fetus precisely because her religious kink is disgracing that which is sacred. Again, what's stopping her? Ethically, morally? Nothing. What would stop her legally? What law would she be breaking, if she were caught red-faced? A rule about proper medical waste disposal, that's it. Smoking weed in public brings harsher consequences than eating an aborted fetus. Because the risk is so low and the transgressive value is so high, of course there are going to be witches who ritualistically practice fetus-eating. There must be hundreds if not thousands of fetus-eaters. And the vast majority of them will be, or at least pretend to be, progressives.Iamwhomiam » 05 Oct 2019 13:18 wrote:Maybe they're vegan?FourthBase » Sat Oct 05, 2019 11:30 am wrote:Here's a hypothetical question too tough for many here to answer honestly, prompted by the Larouche nutjob who just exquisitely trolled AOC: What would philosophically prevent a satanic witch with a NARAL-level absolutist stance on abortion rights from eating an aborted fetus?
Yeah, no shit. The enlightenment is just a pretense.Iamwhomiam » 05 Oct 2019 13:49 wrote:4thB, you really need to drop that "enlightenment" bit.

Do you not get what I'm suggesting? I'm saying that a powerful minority of the right and a powerful minority of the left are both evil. I could probably count on one hand the number of Rigorous Intuition posters willing to contemplate the latter.And forget about creating artificial division lines - left = evil and right = goodness. It alters the argument by polarizing your audience and through misdirection. Satanism is as widespread as the Roman Catholic Church, so I've been led to believe after reading only a bit of RI's vast archives.
I am not a Catholic. Do you really think Catholics call God an evil lying cunt and Jesus a witch? If the music industry elite were pumping kids with videos that glorify priests molesting children, what would you think? You certainly wouldn't just call it merely bizarre, merely a gimmick, merely a peculiar sort of erotica.When one truly considers the ritual practices of the Catholic Church Mass, eating the host, a representation of cannibalizing their Savior, and drinking wine, representing the imbibement of Christ's blood, and its long history of pedophilic priests, a religion you, to the best of my knowledge, practice weekly, if not daily. Should I accuse you of supporting such conduct, simply by being a member of this cult? Of course not. Nor should you believe every young pop star is engaged in satanism, regardless how bizarre their performances may appear to you or me.
It's not ranting, it's trying to persuade some of the most supposedly openminded conspiracy theorists in the world that they're ignoring a big pile of evil shit rotting right under their noses all because the perps are The Good Guys. If I can't do that, what hope do I have of persuading normal people. Hmm. Actually, maybe that'll be way easier, since normal people aren't emotionally invested in edgy art or ideologies. Good point, lol!Now please don't misconstrue my remarks to thinking I fault you or find you an evil participant for being a member of your religion. Everyone can believe what they wish to, whether I understand why they hold their beliefs or not.
My days of fighting the good fight are over. I'm preparing for death. So, what are you going to do about this evil you perceive? Rant about its evils here, or through your direct action, work to pursue its exposure and end?
