Good crit, and you're right. Thanks.
It’s really not though. And yea I was being sarcastic with the southpark reference; I really don’t get off to flouting moral superiority. I’ve never understood the appeal for the left. Maybe my brain has just been so conditioned against it by constantly seeing it from the left for the past decade or so. But I personally think doing it is to fill some self-esteem void or to feel like one is following a higher purpose in a world falling away from religion

Not to get too lost in the sauce in analysis

I don’t post as much here because it’s more focused (ideally) on the actual game rather than political/cultural issues

But um let me look at the post count highly visible next to my name to anyone who isn’t a moron…

Looks like nope

Well, a light bulb has gone off. This has been a concern in art, literature, philosophy, and religion, for at least 150 years, as a modern issue. Religious experience is an invention of the human imagination unfortunately built out of bronze age mythology that is 1) wrong and 2) damn were the masses dumb back then.


Please do not make me bring up examples. You ever sleep inside a fish? I thought not.


As literacy and non-lead saturated living environments became less prevalent, the species grew sharper. Knowledge increases. The cosmos does not revolve around us, and is significantly larger than was thought only but 200 years ago.



Socially, more people learned the tools we call language and reason. Not all people possess much in the way of language, or logic, even at this late date!


Consequence: Religion no longer supplies the religious experience it was invented for. Other dreams take hold. Other "ideals" and hopes for salvation.



D.H Lawrence argued, America was populated by two different kinds of people. People seeking an enlightenment society based in rational law and consent of the governed, and, Puritans.



He argued, the US has been in eternal conflict b/c of this. The liberty seeking people of reason, and then, that Puritanical thing. They have two difference value systems. It is a personality type, not a political type, so it is found everywhere.



The people you refer to are called, on the inside, "neo-puritans." Instead of the trinity of Father-Son-Holy Ghost they pursue some secular savior, some new purity, to make them whole.


tl;dr. I am not sure it is *moral* superiority you sense from some on the Left. In my case, it would be intellectual superiority. The stupidity of the masses is something you manage. It's dumb shit. And it's funny to see people, on either side, hold up some piece of shit and say, "we found it!" over and over and over.


We have a good system. The Left used to say we suck. Now, it is the Right who says we are doomed. And it's all because of butt sex. It has pushed so many people over the line, globally. Putin regularly says, this war is to protect Russia from gays and transexuals.


We got a good system. Currently, it's the right that is sour. We let gays in the club. They say it's curtains for us. But, it's curtains for them. The Twilight of the Gods motherfuckers. Read it, internalize.



God, as something that will save you, is dead. No exceptions.


How's that for an honest post?

Look, I thought of a way to maybe get through to you. Your observation has empirical data to support it.



Here is the simple formula. People have replaced religion with politics. This has good and bad consequences, and neutral consequences.



When you accuse the left of using politics, and you yourself discuss and are clearly "invested" in politics, it proves your point more than you perhaps would like. For you too are falling away, invested not in God but man. Politics.



I'm a heathen with nothing to lose. That means unlike people who believe they immortal, time is a naturally scarce resource. A bunch of chuckleheads screaming for pronouns and bathroom access, or guns and God, is not nearly as fun as nearly anything else in life except perhaps anal prolapse. You got that prolapse draggin behind you, ain't gonna get no crack even if you say please.
