@RKBower1 @InTheNoosphere 1/ Been reflecting on your response here.
I am reminded frequently in your posts of your core world view you spoke of a while ago, that you see things in stark black & white terms, eschewing most nuance.
It shows up all the time. And here.
Your thoughts seem to require absolute

@RKBower1 @InTheNoosphere 2/ one thing or the other. Must be all this or all that.
I dont suppose you'll hear it, this BW filter cuts out most of the actual conversation/points/information being communicated, not only by me, but almost every communication... but I think there is a deep strain of these

@RKBower1 @InTheNoosphere 3/ things, the racisms and the hatreds and etc. And especially but certainly not exclusively "in the South". I dont see how you could defend our current state of the nation other wise...Except in BW terms.
But not all, not by any means. But it doesnt take all, or even a

@RKBower1 @InTheNoosphere 4/ or even a majority to poison the culture and society. It only takes one Sandy Hook to affect the schools and policies thruout the country. One shoe bomber to force people to take their shoes off for years, and years to come.

So it is w racial (and other) hate.

@RKBower1 @InTheNoosphere 5/ it is in fact this quality of inducing fear and attacking the sense of safety that is prerequisite to any functioning society, that is the point of terrorism. And in this case the MAGA peope, who cant even articulate what "Again" means, much less what "Great" implies. And

@RKBower1 @InTheNoosphere 6/ And even more perplexing is the force and means implied, but never spoken, about what it is that will "Make" this all happen.
But we see it being worked out.

So there is that.

But what is most interesting to me is your avoidance of the more essential responses to my posts.

@RKBower1 @InTheNoosphere 7/ You quite directly accuse me of being immoral and treacherous as a liar and using the kids thusly et al... because of one story I took as indicative, not as conclusive (there is that damn nuance again)... As if the falsity of that instance voided the entirety of everything

@RKBower1 @InTheNoosphere 8/ else that demonstrates, examples, and makes the point.

And you ignore the lying that your man Trump does, and I pointed out, even in basic black and white terms...And yet you do not seem to be upset about that immorality?

The proven lying, far more consequential, you have

@RKBower1 @InTheNoosphere 9/nothing to say? It does not affect you? The endless lying from Trump, so consequential in people's lives -as I pointed out-much less the global impacts, the social impacts in USA, much less the erosion of the values and constitutional principles... None of this affects you?

@RKBower1 @InTheNoosphere 10/ All of that gets a pass from you? You're outraged at a child who lies about her hair, and give a pass to Trump and his admin?
Talk about straining at a gnat while swallowing a camel.

Makes one wonder to what your allegiance actually is. Your acceptance of Tr seems to be

@RKBower1 @InTheNoosphere 11/ of trump and etc, seems to be because he does a few things you like. A few things that fit into your economic world view. So you, in true black and white processing, are able to ignore all the rest while casting aspersion on those who still see the whole picture.

@RKBower1 @InTheNoosphere 12/ It is the very definition of short sighted ness.

Or, if you want a biblical reference, building your house on sand. It will be swept away on the next storm.

As seems to be happening. And what will you say about all this now?

@RKBower1 @InTheNoosphere 13/ Is there nothing that your man Trump can do that solicit your unalloyed condemnation of "immoral" and himself an "enemy of the country"?
