Ever wonder how intelligent and highly educated individuals become evil? How did the German academia in 1930s became the servants of Naziism? How did the Russian intellectuals became the servants of the Soviet state? Well, this is how: http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=62627

it's the same reason why ISIS and other islamist terrorists are mostly university/college educated

he seems reasonable to me. I don't mind anti-vaccers as long as they don't exhale around normal people.

This is downright terrifying. I thank my lucky stars that I have lived most of my life in a great society, a society that is now passing and turning into something dark.

Yeah, I'm really surprised. Yawn.
 
Islamic Terrorists not Poor and Illiterate, but Rich and Educated,” by Giulio Meotti, Gatestone Institute, November 19, 2016:

“There is a stereotype that young people from Europe who leave for Syria are victims of a society that does not accept them and does not offer them sufficient opportunities… Another common stereotype in the debate in Belgium is that, despite research which refutes this, radicalization is still far too often misunderstood as a process resulting from failed integration… I therefore dare say that the better young people are integrated, the greater the chance is that they radicalize. This hypothesis is supported by a lot of evidence.”
That was the result of extremely important Dutch research, led by a group of academics at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam. Terrorists seem to be models of successful integration: for instance, Mohammed Bouyeri, the Moroccan-Dutch terrorist who shot the filmmaker Theo van Gogh to death, then stabbed him and slit his throat in 2004. “He [Bouyeri] was a well-educated guy with good prospects,” said Job Cohen, the Labor Party mayor of Amsterdam.
The Dutch research was followed by research from France, adding more evidence to the thesis that goes against the liberal belief that to defeat terrorism, Europe must invest in economic opportunities and social integration. Dounia Bouzar, director of the Center for Prevention, Deradicalization and Individual Monitoring (CPDSI), a French organization dealing with Islamic radicalism, studied the cases of 160 families whose children had left France to fight in Syria. Two-thirds were members of the middle class.
These findings dismantle the myth of the proletariat of terror. According to a new World Bank report, “Islamic State’s recruits are better educated than their fellow countrymen”.
Poverty and deprivation are not, as John Kerry said, “the root cause of terrorism.” Studying the profiles of 331 recruits from an Islamic State database, the World Bank found that 69% have at least a high school education, while a quarter of them graduated from college. The vast majority of these terrorists had a job or profession before joining the Islamist organization. “The proportions of administrators but also of suicide fighters increase with education,” according to the World Bank report. “Moreover, those offering to become suicide bombers ranked on average in the more educated group.”
Less than 2% of the terrorists are illiterate. The study also points to the countries that supply ISIS with more recruits: Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Morocco, Turkey and Egypt. Examining the economic situation of these countries, researchers have discovered that “the richer the countries are the more likely will provide foreign recruits to the terrorist group.”
Another report explained that “the poorest countries in the world don’t have exceptional levels of terrorism”.

The criminals who perpetrated the Bolshevik revolution were mostly middle class, educated people. Some of the worst Nazi criminals were almost exclusively from the better, gentler class and most of them were carefully educated in what was, at the time, one of the greatest education system in the world. It would seem that even the greatest evils require skills, knowledge and the analytical ability.

I generally don't defend Chomsky on politics but it is pathetic the way your clan is desperately trying to cherry-pick quotes to make some idiotic argument.
He said what he said and perhaps there is a way to spin it based on some "context ". Of course, it's always better and wiser to begin with the plain understanding becausethat's where the real intent is always found. That way you can avoid being called an apologist, white knight, advocate and other unpleasant names.
 
Thank heavens there are so many dumb people to keep us safe.

Not only this but so many dumb and selfish people pretending to be good.

How can you even fight for them.

No wonder they are being hijacked. You can’t even feel bad that they are being used like this. Man when people look back at us in a 100 years and realize how how dumb and stupid we were/are they will never make that mistake again and will use this in history books and education as lessons learned.

It’s unfortunate our generation needs to go through it to offer it at a learning experience for future of humanity.

Yes, and what evil the good can be.

My God, I just looked at this conversation between you two and thought to myself, imagine being stuck in the middle at a bar listening to you both having a conversation. I'd be pulling an Archie Bunker

Last Summer when Musk forced his Tesla employees back to work against their will and against state law, you were cheerleading it. Given the number of employees, certainly a number of them did catch C19 and a few of them did die.

People like you are the reason the Fermi paradox is real and why we will never make it past a certain point of societal evolution where we will eventually enable a societal collapse from within. Your type are paradigm locked and fight so hard to enable our destruction from within due to your misunderstanding of how things should be. It’s such a shame you are part of the problem, the enabler, and not part of the solution.

It’s easy to come up with a 100 reasons why this will fail or not work or think of 100 clever ways to destroy and disable. What’s hard is coming up with solution to the worlds problems instead of just complaining about everything.

These are your people ^^^ misleading and not accurate. Stop trying so hard to destroy the world and troll your life away on an adult site like your supreme leaders aka enablers such us CNN Fox and their companies.

Make a fucking change and start naming 100 ways how you can better humanity and save the world better the environment vs actually trying to bring people down who are doing everything in their power to do this for us. Come up with fucking solutions? Are you capable of doing this? What have you done for your society other then being a faithful serval to misleading and not accurate MSN sources?

Yes, he suggested unvaccinated get quarantined. Big difference from the Holodomor.


Just another case where you guys get out of sorts because of a blog post without actually reading what was actually said.

And you didn't read enough.
 
Are you really arguing the people trying to STOP a pandemic are the reason humanity will cease to exist?

No, he took the vaccine, supports its and supports the measures.

My issue is with people who are trying to stop actual solutions that help solve humanities most fundamental problems because of ideas/ideologies/paradigms and recontextualiztions in the name of that idea vs doing what is actually good and in best interest for humanity as a collective. Then you might ask how will we remove this human bias that goes against guarding the interest of humanity as a collective. Easy general AI will get there eventually and we can program it to act beyond our bullshit ideas based on a universal system that should be timeless and applicable anywhere there is consciousness and life particularly intelligent enough to understand them.

In another words all that means in my previous post is people are willing to support ideas over what is actually good for humanity which will inevitably contribute to the Fermi paradox.

Just look at how much this covid shit has been recontextualized to fit narratives. If we all worked together this would have already been under control but we can’t because everyone has a fucking idea on it.
