RE: Being Individually Moral but Forced to Live Among Collective Immorality

in #philosophy7 years ago

Great food for thought.

In our modern world there are many great things that we have that other generations didn’t. We have the internet which allows people like you and I to have a discussion and share ideas about our world views that others didn’t have without 1) calling the person, 2) being at a venue at the same time or 3) corresponding somehow. These are cumbersome ways to communicate historically and it wasn’t well used for these types of discussions. Now that the internet is revolutionizing communication for the wide mass of people they are trying to crack down on anti establishment ideals that threaten their cabal.
So many things are eroding free speech nowadays; I absolutely disagree with someone who is racist, sexist or in any other way belittling others based off foolish thoughts. Even though I disagree with them it doesn’t mean they can’t say what they want. This is what people are being programmed to not think; I went to a very liberal university and we had classes where the professor brought up a sticky subject such as black lives matter and there was no discussion how yes they absolutely do but what about the people in Yemen being slaughtered and living in awful conditions daily; people in South American countries living in military style governments that the US propped up to ally with their financial interests; the veterans living homeless despite fighting for the country; the utter poverty and despair that millions of people including African Americans are living in. The discourse was polarized into thinking that since there were some in the class that felt that all lives mattered that it was racist to disagree with the BLM movement. It’s divide and conquer that has successfully manipulated people into polarizing what could be a great opportunity for people to connect and rise past the differences to help each other out.
These things are perpetuated by those in power to keep people from getting together for the greater good of the mass of people.

Sort:  

Yes, to be for all lives matter means racist... Yet, BLM has a lot of openly racist ideologies towards whites... go figure. People can't think. Then like you say, they are divided, because you have to care more about black lives, or blue lives matter, etc., rather than the bigger picture together.
