1) I will address some toxicity regarding tribalism, political strife, and attempts made by stupid, ignorant, sexually predatory, sexist, pedophiliac, racist, abusive, unattractive, low quality, and degenerate white trash, Hitler supporters and Nazi supporters, pedophiles, and sexual predators (with a history of abusing and preying upon women and underage girls/minors) to try to gaslight various groups in society in the cultural wars along with dangerous unwarranted hatred and bigotry. I will also challenge dishonest and abusive attempts made to gaslight society through toxic, fake, dishonest stereotypes, lies, and pathological, abusive personal attacks via introducing positive representations of public figures, people I know (e.g., my parents), historical figures, and more people who do not fit the standard “far left” or “far-left and secular” political molds.

Decent quote from The Black Swan on the limitations (and gullibility) of secular "experts" followed by my elaboration and then someone else's regarding second-handers seeking pseudo-value through tribalism instead of themselves. #nassimtaelb #quote #blackswan
