  • The worst part is, some of us are going to be resurected, only to be forced to labour away in the flaming sword manufacturing department.

    What, do you think heavenly, flaming swords make themselves or something?

    Oh, oh right, yeah, I see your point now. You’re right, I’ll probably just end up in flaming sword logistics or admin. Back-office is what I do now. So, that’ll make sense…

    Honestly, just leave me dead if ill only be brought back to gods fucking paperwork.

    Edit: also, you know someone’s gonna be like “OMG daddy Satan, come get me!”









  • I beleive the first would be an appeal to moderation fallacy. I mean, you’re right in calling out the illogical BS. I’m just saying I think it’s this particular flavour of illogical BS.

    I’m sure you can see your way out of one just fine but favourite way to call out an appeal to moderation fallacy is to ask “if I said the sky was predominantly yellow and you, rightly, corrected me and said it was predominantly blue, would it be logical for a third person to conclude that the sky was green?”










  • What is also true is that its the mentality of a depressive who views hope as a dangerous delusion, as had been said a fair few times now.

    It is lashing out, as you can’t refute it or engage it.

    Dismissing a legitimate observation of our society as a silly caricature is a far more silly caricature of someone who just doesn’t like what they’re hearing.

    Existence is measured in money, under capitalism. Why would you lying about it and not meaning make any difference? As long as you’re doing what you were paid to do, it would have the same appearance and the same effect. I would take the money too, as its the most important thing in society and existance is measured in it. Thats the point here. Why would I care what was in your heart of hearts?

    No, none of the other systems survived an attack by a system that cannot tolerate any alternatives to live unmolested. Had any of them failed of their own accord, you might have a point there. You can’t shoot someone in the leg and then declare that their claims of being able to run didn’t survive an encounter with reality.

    Trying to improve capitalism has never survived an encounter with reality. All it did was make the rich richer.

    Capitalism didn’t improve feudalism. Firstly, capitalism grew out of merchantislism. Secondly, merchantislism had to be forced on people who had been robbed of their homes and were facing starvation. Had they any other option than starving, they would have stuck with feudalism.


  • The first paragraph is literally the same “I can’t justify capitalism but the others are worse” argument again.

    The society we live in is an employment based, market fundamentalist society. It just used to be a different kind of fundamentalist theocratic rule is all.

    Instead of lashing out and calling it a silly caricature, you can just say “I just plain don’t like that.” It would have had the same effect.

    That being said, how much money would it take for you to change your mind about existence being measured in terms of money alone being a silly caricature? Even if you were the type to give it all away, eventually, we would find a number. Not only that, you’d be a multi millionaire and, as such, on that basis alone, your existence would be judged as an inherently good one.
