His camp allows the problem to grow even bigger than it currently is. People like Alco marginalize the issue and ridicule the opposing arguments which in turn upsets and radicalises more people in the middle feeling ignored and hopeless and making people on the extreme sides to become even more extreme. The both extremes (the naive one and the truly racist and bigot one) are responsible for the conflict worsening. Both camps are emotional and irrational. Sad thing is that the naive camp has often more potential to behave intelligently and yet they react in a truly irrational, uneducated way even though they could use their potential to truly help to solve the problem. But they are unable to overcome their emotions and ideals (irony is that religious fanatics have similar problems). So yes, both camps then can shake their hands when all is done.

More genocide coming everyone SORRY 4 THE GENOCIDE Care to explain which people I am overgeneralising? And which point is insultingly wrong? I am not sure we understand each other (I am aware of my limited English skills so I am prepared to clear up anything). People who don't try to persecute others unfairly are not the cause of genocide. When you put it like this, I definitely agree. But it is a generalisation. It is much more nuanced in the reality. In this issue I see basically three camps: a bigotry camp (extreme end) a balanced/sober/rational/undecided/careless camp (middle) an extreme naivety camp (extreme end) I believe both extreme camps are bad and making the issue worse - both in their own way. One is spreading hatred and violence, the other is ignoring the problems with their pink glasses on having unrealistic expectations from people. Both extreme camps are uneducated/lacking experience in their own way. Both extreme camps are not prepared to do compromises between the "good" and "evil" and they are overly emotional which never helps. Both extreme camps are preventing reasonable solutions from happening. Both extreme camps seem to want all or nothing and that is not the way I am afraid. There has to be a reasonable compromise otherwise people are going to suffer terribly. I believe Alco and alike tend to be somewhere around the naivety camp and he is therefore responsible for worsening the issue because he adds more fuel into the fire so to speak.

Guest WNS000 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Jev: please consult with Herr Jan before any further posts. lol, that's a shame. I was expecting some arguments. Nevermind. http://bennorton.com/sam-harris-and-fascism/ What a bullshit, emotional article. Is that what you read and respect? That idiot doesn't even know the difference between ethnicity and race. And that "free will" argument... And his "proof" of Harris being a fascist just because he said that for once he is basically forced to agree with their opinions in Europe? I think more than anything Harris pointed out how terribly sad and hopeless this all is that he has to give props to fascists in this issue. Here it is in a more proper context than in the article you have posted: While liberals should be the ones pointing the way beyond this Iron Age madness, they are rendering themselves increasingly irrelevant. Being generally reasonable and tolerant of diversity, liberals should be especially sensitive to the dangers of religious literalism. But they aren't. The same failure of liberalism is evident in Western Europe, where the dogma of multiculturalism has left a secular Europe very slow to address the looming problem of religious extremism among its immigrants. The people who speak most sensibly about the threat that Islam poses to Europe are actually fascists. Even though the "fascist" label Harris mentioned is an overstatement IMO, I get his point and intentions. Norton seems as another naive academically masturbating idiot completely missing the point and he is going to regret his position when the shit hits the fan. Surreal. my parody post is making fun of sam harris specifically who i think generally embodies the kind of rhetoric on this issue here on teh 'tmm. caze and limpy for example explicitly consider his analyses to be correct. for some of the specific language i was mocking: http://bennorton.com/sam-harris-and-fascism/ it's amusing to me that sam harris fans consistently make no effort to grapple with these kinds of statements and not only overlook them but will deliberately deny that they express what he really means. caze & limpy have already resorted to the "he didn't say that/ you don't understand what he means" line earlier itt and now caze has called my parody of his actual language "strawmen." it is a shame that popular culture has a such a poverty of real minds out there sharing compelling and rich insights but what can you expect really? it's not amusing that despite repeatedly being shown that your views on Harris are complete nonsense based on farcical distortions of what he has said, you seem completely incapable of learning the truth. it's not amusing, it's sad. poor alco. it's a shame that popular leftist culture is so morally bankrupt and dishonest that this is the best we can expect from otherwise intelligent and liberal people.

caze Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 To equate anyone other than murderers with murderers is insulting. If you don't understand why, I'm not going to bother trying to explain it so don't even ask. This is incorrect, obviously any murder deserves the brunt of the responsibility for any act, but what about those that facilitated the act? From the bomb maker that designs the suicide vest to the ignorant and hateful preacher that calls for death to apostates, infidels, blasphemers, etc. The only question is where you draw the line, to what degree do you apportion the blame in each instance. There is nothing insulting to anyone who is not part of the problem in criticising those who are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WNS000 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 You are overgeneralizing Alco and since I agree with him on this point, me, and many, many others. Are you now seriously using quantity as an argument? But yeah, unfortunately, your camp has quite an influence in the world today if that is what you tried to point out. That is true. ...these camps (this is a REALLY bad word choice coming from you ma'am) In my language "camp" is a word with many meanings. One of them is defining a group of people sharing the same opinions and interests usually in the context of comparing them to another "camp" (in political debates etc.) I don't know what other word I should use in English. Maybe "a group" would be more fitting? Feel free to correct me. As I said numerous times before, I am not native and my English is basic. But I think you get the idea. No need to be triggered. People do not easily fit into three placements, it's just not reality miss Jev. The camps (groups) are quite wide - mainly the middle one consisting of many different attitudes. Read it again. Of course there is a gradual transition between them all (thus "somewhere around the naivety camp"). I will make sure I have a fancy graph next time... As to the rest of your post, I believe that you are wrong. To equate anyone other than murderers with murderers is insulting. So if a government decides to create a policy that will unintentionally and indirectly cause millions of deaths they will not be responsible for it even in the slightest? Even if they were warned about it beforehand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
