But, there's no such thing as communism.

Communism is the thoughts of people with too much free time on their hands, who along with all the rest fall naturally into a system of hierarchy relative to intellectual and physical ability.

How inclusively or corruptly a system is managed obviously varies.

Brazil has a more stable democracy that the United States of America.

Not sure that's either correct or incorrect.

Events would suggest a certain current similarity.

Perhaps a lot fewer people than you think, regard excessive political rivalry and hero-worship with such importance.

Agree.

Everyone instinctively discriminates relative to perceivable differences.

Skin tone variation is one of many obvious stimuli.

It's all to do with survival strategy.

Tolerance is the answer, though we haven't as yet mastered the seemingly simple technique of tolerance transfer. Sort of educating/conditioning all kids with total tolerance data.

Though a system of total tolerance transfer and consequent survival strategy override might be a tad risky, unless we firstly iron out the more dangerous flaws in some people's data processing systems.

Oh, and then there's social inequality and all that sort of shit to iron out as well. That is to say the removal of all resentment triggers.

Maybe technological evolution will eventually sort of intellectually homogenize humanity.

Though there will certainly be strong resistance from within steadfastly ideological sub-groups.

Which is currently just about everyone.

And sort of where we started.

Which is why I always suggest that A.I. (Alternative Intelligence) is probably the only evolutionary way forwards.

Organic data processing units just get way too emotional.

Just ask Mr Spock.

Just had a look.

And for sure, cult is widely defined.

So, anything can be cultish.

Overuse of a mirror renders one a self-cult.

Dear Deb 2000.

The voice of reason.

Fingers twitching,

Keys clicking,

Words tumbling,

Into the binary world,

Of this and that.

GOD was perhaps a flat earther.

And it is often proposed that ancient Egyptians were from outer space.

It's the hat thing.

And pictures of ancient Egyptians look nothing like modern day Egyptians.

Though that might be to do with when and who drew the pictures.

Perhaps, therefore, maybe lighter skinned peeps are descended from ancient Egyptian type space-persons.

Which was that Deb.

I will plump for the Sun.

The most obvious big fella in the sky.

Active during the day and goes to bed in the evening.

Second in command is the Moon, out shone during the day by big daddy but keeps watch in the evening.

Often peeping from behind something.

A curtain perhaps.

For sure, nuts can be dangerous.

Especially coconuts.

Athias.

Yep, I think you got it.

I don't think that RM got it though.

I got it from post 1.

My advice is, either ignore or play.

Nonetheless there's a chance that everything is not chaos. 

There is perhaps an overriding evolutionary certainty to everything. 

Or perhaps there isn't, in which case hope is futile.

Nonetheless hope is beneficial if it gives us a lifetime of hope.

Sounds like an interesting film.

But what is a verified person, other than a verified person?

People just adopt, modify and apply labels.

If one does not ride a Pennyfarthing is one therefore not a real cyclist.

We could apply the same rule to any outdated concept.

Though as things stand, aren't most U.S. citizens basically democratic republicans?

So, you feel shamed and humiliated then?

Nope, relative to the thread I was therefore temporarily captured by the American loop.

And so, the rest of the globe is temporarily irrelevant.

You guys are good at unnecessarily conflating issues.

Yep, I understood that.

But was asking what that had to do with white supremacism.

So, you might be reasonably arguing that the aforementioned policies discriminated unfairly.

But wherein lies the correlation between white supremacism and Democratic health and welfare policies.

True.

Discrimination for sure.

Sense the difference, assess the difference, respond to the difference.

Pretend to be indifferent.

And some people are better than others at maintaining the pretence.

Tolerance and respect of differences only works if all parties are tolerant and respectful of differences.

Winding up is the objective,

And I think that you are losing the winding up battle.

If you had not replied to post 1, there wouldn't have been a post 3.

Presumably we're talking 2022 here.

Or have we just time warped back a few hundred years.

Nope, you can only assume to know a fact. By which time you will have processed that data.

Relative to you nothing exists unless you are able to process data.

See a shoe, feel a shoe = data input, data assessment and an internal personal conclusion.

So, are you wearing a shoe?

Yes.

How do you know?

Because I know it is there.

How do you know?

Because I can see it and feel it, and I have already processed that data. and concluded that I am wearing a shoe.

And did you not just reprocess said data in order to come to a secondary conclusion?

And so on.

The only place that shoe wearing data exists is in your head, rather than as an actual fact upon your foot.

Of course, it might actually be there, and a secondary data processing unit might attempt to confirm it.

But any secondary source of data is subject to all the above conditions.

Similarly, any data transfer between units and any subsequent assessments are also subject to all the above conditions.

In fact, the Universe only exists because we think it exists

Of course, I only think that is a fact.

Well, I guessed you were referring to the Far East, but I couldn't work out why as we were discussing U.S. Republicanism within the context of the U.S.

Strawman for sure.

And for sure also, ethnocentrism is a super word and would certainly befit the Old European Republican agenda.

And if self-defeating strawmanism and contradiction is the epitome of nuance, then you certainly have nuance by the bucketful.

As things stand you have only managed to confirm my initial assertion.

Such is your valid opinion.

Which like my valid opinion might or might not be correct.

So, is the worship of the Sun a cult or a religion?

Not sure what you are driving at with the first bit of your reply.

Though secondly, my opinion is my opinion so I'm not certain if either to blame or not to blame is applicable.

And you also state that "White Europeans usually think they own everything". Which loosely agrees with my opinion in relation to Old European America. 

Old European supremacism dressed up as Republicanism, if you like.

Let's face it, extreme Republicanism is still all about the fear of change from a "white" dominated Christian society to a multicultural egalitarian society.

And I use the term "white" very loosely.

Perhaps I should say Old European.

So of course, the big lie is feigning interest and support for multiculturalists, for the purposes of political gain and the perpetuation of the Old European Christian agenda.

This atheist would say that all theistic devotion is non-sensical, and therefore, there is no real difference between cultish or religious practices.

Cult is really all about the size of a group and it's established social acceptability.

Is worship of the Sun a cult or a religion?

Can we ever be objective?

Those are your examples and therefore only relative to your database, irrespective of any other data acquisition and storage processes/systems.

Such is personal subjectivity and output.

Even a seemingly instantaneous repetition of data from a narrative source, is still subject to internal processing. That is to say, your own personal reinterpretation of data. Therefore subjective.

One might argue that if the stand-alone narrative data is verifiable, it is therefore objective. Nonetheless you cannot actually internally possess or lay claim to that objective data. You must always process it.

Yep, some good buzz words and phrases there.

But in my book, tolerance is a virtue and ignorance is bliss.

So be content with your own cognitive methodology, ignore data you don't wish to interact with and be tolerant of other people's individuality.

I would also dare to suggest, that you choose not to ignore probably because you enjoy not ignoring.

Nope, no personal attacks.

But I've fathered children so proven myself to be a real sperm producer.

Which is what a real man is in my opinion.

Though more to the point, assuming the influence and authority to limit another user's participation is a tad egotistical.

Just remember to switch off the fan.

I notice quite a few arrogant egos in this thread.

Power corrupts, doesn't matter how it is labelled.

Millions of years of material development.

Then intellect, organic intellect, hybrid intellect, inorganic intellect.

Why?

To further the process of material development perhaps.

Why?

Chance or purpose?

Neither do I.

Egg producer and sperm producer.

Everything else is just inspired fantasy marketing or physiological discrepancy.

The U.S. may have two dominant political parties with die hard supporters.

But fortunately, the U.S. still has a dominant moderate core of voters, who usually decide the outcome of elections.

Nope, I suggested that a man masquerading as the son of a fantasy GOD probably existed some 2000 years ago. A man that latterly became widely attributed with the name of Jesus.

And I also suggested that this Jesus character was said to have been the son of a human virgin female and a misogynistic fantasy rapist.

If I suggested that GOD was blue, you would no doubt say that I was agreeing that GOD was yellow. Such is your methodology.

Not necessarily his fault.

Well, I wasn't aware that was your conclusion.

But I'm happy that we agree.

Within this context, it's not possible to confirm either my identity or your identity.

Perhaps next time you visit the U.K. we can meet up for a cup of tea.

That's the trouble with attempting to define U.S society, as fitting neatly into two camps.

Which it doesn't of course.

Well, I don't struggle.

And in the truest definition of the word, I am atheist.

Though I might loosely be regarded as having some deistic type data on board. But not in the magical mystery man sense of the word.

As for the character popularly referred to as Jesus, I think that I have already stated to you that I think it highly likely to have been based upon a real human being. But was he the son of a GOD that raped a virgin, I doubt it very much. Hence, we have tales of mystery men, embellished with misogynistic fantasy. In short, a mythology.

Ascension into modernity is certainly a dramatic turn of phrase, but only really means spreading and becoming popular relative to intellectual and social development. Though I'm not sure how well misogyny and rape ascend into Western modernity. But I suppose if you drum this stuff into children's heads soon enough, they will grow up accepting it as acceptable.

Nonetheless, people are still searching for something that cannot be found, and so are still heavily reliant upon fantasy hypotheses.

Such is some of the stuff that people make up.

After all, overthink is our specialism.

As long as the masses are kept at a level relative to affordability, things will be just fine.

People will still waste money on the unnecessary.

Monarch worship or Orange Guy worship

For sure, there are always sheep.

Maybe so. But that doesn't confirm your identity.

Just a wack-job.

Not much more to say about the man.

But further to the man, one could add that Trumpism will inevitably attract wack-jobs.

Which sort of proves the point, that stupidity attracts stupidity and common sense attracts common sense.

And further, proves the point that Trump was/isn't overly sensible in his approach to the Presidency of the United States of America.

The term United States of America should be indicative of the need for inclusivity and rationality. Rather than social division and incitement to riot.

#3 Yep.

#4 Good strategy.

Yep, there's common sense.

Which is what my first-hand experience is based upon.

Like I stated.

1. There are the genuinely ill. Who will stop at home and ask a friend or relative to collect meds for them.

2. There are the generally healthy, who try and avoid using medical intervention whenever possible

3. And then there are those who are always at the counter with some issue or another. And if they know about brain fog, they will have it as sure as eggs is eggs.

Just saying that people are predictable, and it's quite easy to tell who is genuine and who isn't.

Of course, there are a plethora of other lifestyle factors that lead to a poor state of mental motivation.

1. Stress and associated anxiety relative to the pressures of social conformity.

2. Poor physical health relative to a lack of fitness.

3. Poor physical health relative to dietary choices.

4. Poor physical health relative to substance and alcohol abuse.

To name but four.

I would suggest that there a lot of younger people who already spend a lot of their time in a technological virtual world.

We do this stuff, and it becomes the norm, and we carry on as if nothing has changed.

Evolutionary inevitability probably.
