    Mao, Stalin, AND Hitler ALL genocided within their own territory, whether intentionally or not ( Mao wiped-out knowledge-workers, creating massive famine, ttbomk )

    The whole “horseshoe political-spectrum” is failing-to-understand that there actually is a different dimenion involved…

    Considered-reasoning only lives in the middle,

    & imprint->reaction-mind owns both extremes, AND it also owns many who nominally are “center”.

    Kahneman’s “Thinking Fast and Slow” is on the difference between the 2 kinds of mental-function,

    and to the best of my knowledge, the imprint->reaction mind is lower-forebrain, while the considered-reasoning mind is upper-forebrain.

    ALL ideology/prejudice/“religion” ( religion, not spirituality, which is considered-reasoning rooted ) is rooted in the imprint->reaction bypassing-actual-thinking mind.

    The Catholic inquisition, the murderers of any religion, the murderers of any political-ideology, etc…

    I simply cannot understand how anybody could maintain that the ideology-genociding-of-the-left OR the ideology-genociding-of-the-right OR the ideology-genociding-of-religions OR the ideology-genociding-of-racism OR the ideology-genociding-of-gender-racism ( the inquisition was part of that, the Muslim immigrant gang-rapes committed in their new countries is part of that, the male-supremacist-vote which helped block Harris from winning in the US is part of it, the fact that rape is a pretend-crime in actual-practice is part of that, as the male authorities just don’t consider it to be a “real” crime, if its “only” against girls & women, the scum who rewrote Genesis millenia ago, to alter it from saying that women “ate of the fruit of the knowledge of Good & Evil” ( which it still says ), to instead “interpreted” that, right in the text, so that instead of meaning that women ate of moral understanding ( altruism is demonstrated to be generalized-mothering, in wasps & humans, & grandmothers in the tribe are a significant tribal-survival-advantage, through deep-time/evolution )…

    Is the intentional-genociding of Tibetans & Uighurs “OK” because it is being done by the left?

    Was Stalin’s force-exterminating millions of his own country’s people somehow OK?

    XOR is it that the genociding of fascists doesn’t count?


    Obviously, you hold that I, like the original-poster am beyond-reason, beyond wrong.

    That’s fine.

    I’m fed-up with being gaslit by ideologues, & ideologues are equally fed-up with all who are not within their ideology, obviously.

    Which is the essence of The Great Filter, in-which humankind will either lock entirely into imprint->reaction mode & simply tantrum/pogrom until all our kind is extinguished,

    XOR some fraction of humankind will do all they can to lock-into considered-reasoning, & do everything they can to continue force-evolving, while surviving the apoctalyptic-nihilism of the ideologues…

    I don’t expect the total-war to cease until the end of this century, once it starts ( in the 2030’s, probably )

    Party-fascism ( which is what “communism” actually is ) & individual-fascism both are intolerant of healthy-diversity.

    Collectivist-evil & individualist-evil are equal-“powers”, just different in methods & in their self-programming.

    … shrug …
