X-"phobia"

What is "islamophobia" or "transphobia"? These are entirely made-up concepts meant to stigmatize and silence any criticism of the protected thing, in this case Islam or Transism. All the BLM fascists must be pissed they didn't come up with this idea first, a "blackphobia".

Next we might have "progressiveophobia" or "tolerantphobic" to start singling out people for "thought crime".

We really do live in 1984 now.

Strategy for whenever someone says any of these made-up phobias around or at you: "That's not true. Im not "afraid", I simply disagree with it for x, y, z reasons". Alternate strategy: "You're damn right I'm afraid of Islam (or trans), and even so regardless I have a right to free speech to say how I feel and think about it." Strategy three: "Explain how my fear isn't justified." Strategy four: "You're just trying to silence me with fascistic thought policing, taking away my right to speak. You're not interested in debating and discussing these matters, but I am, so whose really the fearful one here, you or me?"

That's a unique way of viewing it.

Moralities are ugly.

And really annoying.

My morals are for myself only. But I don't want anyone coming into my world to offer me theirs.

Fear of decapitation is a powerful tool. It inspires you to learn faulty morality.

One maintains an aesthetic... or fails to. That is the only meaning of "morality" that I can get behind right now.

If we look into the non-human aspect of the world we will see that there is no such thing as morality. Humans created it in order to control other humans.

That is part of the truth of it, yes. But only part.

Care to share the other parts?

I'll think about it.

Okay. But don't think too hard. Don't want you hurting your brain.

No worry. The highest thought you've ever had could never even impact my brain, much less hurt it.

Okay. One point for you. Hehehe.

Round two. Your move.

If I recall, you are still thinking about the other parts.
