Jaleel Stallings [a black man] fired on police officers during the George Floyd riots. Why? They shot at him first and he didn’t know they were cops [they didn’t identify themselves] — so he shot back.

NOT GUILTY. SELF DEFENSE.
I feel I need to say that Stallings was not out during the riots, well, *rioting*.

He was in fact “doing a Kyle Rittenhouse.”

He was a veteran who armed himself and stationed himself outside a gas station owned by friend of his, in order to protect it.
The cops were just shooting people [with rubber bullets, although *not* using the guns with orange barrels they were supposed to]. Some guy ran by shouting “They’re shooting people!” [which was true].

The cops didn’t say they were cops, and fired on Stallings, who fired back.
When they got close enough for Stallings to discern they were police officers, he dropped his gun and laid on the ground.

The cops then beat the shit out of him.
So, you had a BLACK man, who armed himself, and went out into a “racial justice” riot in order to defend property and the communing FROM the rioters, a BLACK man who SHOT AT COPS.

ACQUITTED OF ALL CHARGES

Don’t buy this FANTASY of “a black man could never claim self defense.”
One of the things that the media does regularly — and remember, their job is supposedly REPORTING THE NEWS, that is, THINGS THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED — is to engage in this fantasy speculation of “if he had been black, things would have turned out differently.”

That is FANTASY.
Why should we put up with members of the media “reporting” on their own nasty and divisive race war fantasies?

The Woke fervently believe that protecting children from adult things is a kind of “violence” done to the children. Children *must be* sexualized in the Woke understanding — because the “innocence of children” myth *must be* dismantled.
They want to sexualize children in deliberate ways, rather than allowing them to be safe and to develop normally and naturally.

That is, they want to sexually groom children.

It does not matter that they pretend that “normal and natural” is “oppression.”
The excuse does not justify the evil.

Data are relata. More, they are meaningful relata. But to be meaningful, a consciousness is needed for which the meaning is meaningful, which is another relation. Hence, data are relata wherein the relation is related to another.
Dataless information is an oxymoron. All information is comprised of data (or at least a datum). But as meaningful relata, data are what they are only for us, not in themselves. A bare relation suffices to constitute the entities related as relata, but not as data.
It follows that information is not information in-itself but only for consciousness.

It further follows that information belongs necessarily to the psychical part of being, not the physical.

That data and information can be ‘physicalized’ should not surprise us: we can SPEAK.

He thinks this proves that all things are physical, when he himself is explaining that certain non-physical things are have a connection to physical things.

The other error is thinking “reality” = “the physical” — although he doesn’t think this, because of non-physical systems.
1 All formal systems are connected to the physical at at least one point
2 Formal systems exist
3 For X to be connected to Y by a cord, X is not a subset of Y
4 So formal systems are not physical [1, 3]
5 So non-physical entities exist [2, 4]
Further, I add

6 Formal systems contain information
7 ∴ Not all information is physical [5, 6]

That Christ is the λόγος is correct, but seems irrelevant to James' point here. John clearly means "the Word" to have the expansive sense those who read Greek would understand. I don't even say 'Word' — because it's too narrow in meaning and scope for λόγος.
Human λόγος, reason and speech, are possible because "all things were made through" a divine λόγος. To understand reality and to place our understanding into language is the work of human λόγος. We can err and we can lie, however, falsifying λόγος. Man can speak the ψευδής λόγος.
The Woke are ψευδολόγοι.

To be a ψευδολόγος is to be in opposition to the λόγος itself.

To be in opposition to the λόγος itself is to be in opposition to that which the λόγος presences, reality and truth.

The Woke are against reality and truth.

This is James’ point.

If B attacks A in such a situation that A has a reasonable fear for his life, A is justified in defending himself by e.g. shooting B.

If C, D, and F see A shoot B, and decide that A is an “active shooter” and proceed to attack A, then A is justified in shooting C, D, and F too.
It does not matter whether what C, D, and F believe about A. What matters is what A believes about C, D, and F. And it would be entirely reasonable for A, after just being attacked by B, and then attacked by C, D, and F, to suppose them as great a threat as B was.
It does not matter that A was armed.

It does not matter that A came prepared to defend himself.

It does not matter whether A “crossed state lines” to get there.

It does not matter that A cried on the witness stand.

It doesn’t matter.

None of that matters.

Behold, a Useful Idiot.

He has bought the line that Critical Race Theory just means “thinking critically about race.”

But that isn’t what it means at all. As an ideological movement, it is utterly opposed to critical thinking. It instead enjoins Critical thinking.
We continue: “Building a society where everyone is treated equally and fairly and learning from our past” are ALL THINGS CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS OPPOSED TO. Image
Let’s explore:

∙ treating everyone equally

CRT says that this is a racist thing to do. The proper thing is to treat persons according to their race. This is called “anti-racism.” Treating persons of different races equally is wrong.
