Goodness is taking pleasure in the success and well being of others. Evil is taking pleasure in their failures and misery.
No person who claims to be good, who claims to want what is best for his or her fellow humans, can fail on an enduring basis to regularly examine his own first assumptions, and fail to care about the actual outcomes of his actions.
No idea can be beyond scrutiny. Ideas which have merit will always become stronger in the sunlight, and those which are wrong, will more easily be cast away once retrieved from the shadows.
No debate takes place here. Ideas are asserted, and dissenters are banned. Given my presuppositions, then, this place is either not good or actively evil. It is abundantly obvious that many here quite enjoy doing their best to torment anyone with whom they disagree, and whose moral rectitude seemingly rests upon their perfect conformity to everyone else here. Everyone else here, of course, defines their very presence as evidence of their profound humanitarianism and goodwill.
I first observed these things on the part of the left long ago. How, for example, could Lenin claim that he was on the side of the workers, and yet demand more of his workers than any Capitalist ever did? They worked longer, harder, for less money, in less safe conditions and risked the gulags for the slightest infractions. Yet, they were told it was a "Workers Utopia".
Once principle becomes disentangled from reality testing, there are no crimes which are not possible. All manner of violence becomes synonymous with virtue. On his own account Robespierre believed mass beheadings were something close to the essence of Goodness.
I had hoped to raise awareness of a very important issue, but seemingly made the error of getting myself CLASSIFIED as an Unwanted Other in an environment of radical intolerance. That task, then, will not bear fruit, and the sufferings associated with the grotesque thievery that fractional reserve banking and the Federal Reserve enable, will continue, and no doubt get worse in coming years.
And, of course, provided you can blame Ideological Others--whose efforts to defend themselves will not be tolerated on this site, meaning success in this enterprise is a given--then not one of you will suffer the slightest pain of the guilt you WOULD feel if you cared in the slightest about the difference between truth and falsehood.
