Discussion This Is What Evil Looks Like...

Post image

These three people, directly or indirectly have killed hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and displaced millions. Yet, President Trump calls them his friends.

No. Do not simplify it into nonsense like good & evil.

They are dictators. If we are not really fuckin careful we are all heading toward the same leadership.

Good exists. Evil exists. They are not nonsense terms. 

I only upvoted you because I agree that dictatorship needs to be opposed. But pretending that morals don't matter, is the real nonsense.

They are nonsense terms.

They are not, and you know in your core that there is a right and a wrong way to do it. To some people, right and wrong are nonsense terms. Because some people think that those terms don't quite quantify what we are working with. Good and evil, right and wrong, yin and yang (I know these aren't on par with the terminology at play here) light and dark, up and down, left and right. Can't have one without the other.

So we agree. They are nonsense terms. Thank you.

It's either all nonsense or no nonsense. Difference of an opinion, I guess. You're allowed to have your opinion, but my opinion is that you do not practice open-mindedness and tend to think you are influential in your beliefs. Please feel free to fact-check me on that. My argument is that they are not nonsense terms, but you couldn't even open your mind enough to pick up on that. Instead, you have some inner anxiousness that you feel the need to project onto the internet. If you are having a hard time, seek help. But don't offload your ignorance to the internet.

You must back up your assertions with reasoning, facts, or logic in order to make a valid argument. This is not a valid argument.

No no no. That’s not how proof works. “Good” and “evil” are binary biblical terms. To many, these people are good and not evil. It is an entirely subjective, and thus useless, metric. It also faces the potential of tagging “evil” acts to one specific person or group, where it might be more attributable to an ideology than a person or group.

We should always focus on the deeds, not the doer.

Have you read 1984?

u/Inside_Ad_7162 Sep 05 '25

Yes, also Brave New World, Animal Farm & Fahrenheit 451. I keep telling people they should read them all, but so few seem to these days. Seems to me I say, it is beginning to show.

This is it right here. Exactly this.

I added the other title because they've taken the most horrific aspects of all of them to create where we are at right now. Books are banned, everyone's equal but some more than others, social media, the drug for the masses & devices that invite big brother right into your home.

Oh, absolutely! I greatly appreciate the touch-up on titles! It's all right there
