Tangent: Shows like Squid Games, or older films like Fight Club, are particularly parasitic as they provide faux catharsis. Arguably the worst kind of sedation.
the "domestic terrorist" genre (Fight Club, Matrix, even Star Wars) where the message is to rebel and even come out victorious, has been like morphine for mass psychology, thinking fictitious narratives are real
"Love thy neighbor" is not condoning dark triad characteristics, nor is "turning the other cheek" to ignore evil and allow oneself to be abused. It is a metaphor for lessening violence by humanizing others. In ancient culture, people would backhand a "subordinate". If they turn the other cheek, then an open palm strike would be necessary, thus making them an equal.
I continually seek to do good without reacting to evil with evil. Evil is incoherence, and when taken to sufficient extremes, destroys itself. Those who are rushing to be integrated with the machine in the hope of preserving themselves with indifference to the suffering of others may just face a scenario where they have mouths but cannot scream. (Revelation 20:10)
most of humanity is facing an enemy that has already weaponized "love thy neighbor", and it continues to be an ineffective strategy against them, meanwhile they erode our ability to resist. how does one stop a psychopathic neighbor who has the ultimate power over you?
@daliwali - True, the "antichrist" has been around awhile. But because of (Luke 12:5), I (Philippians 2:12) and (Proverbs 24:19). Β―\_(γ)_/Β― ...Lol! Really though...I do not consent to force/manipulation and will sincerely strive to manifest Love itself or die trying. That is the best that anyone can do when doing evil simply begats more evil; everything else is outside of our control.
Well articulated, as always. Mold shall prevail.
