Sometimes People Aren’t Merely Misguided.
They Really Are Evil

Original Article

Posted By: DVC, 6/2/2024 12:39:44 PM

A difficult concept to explain to ordinary people is that some people and some ideas are unadulterated evil, not just in their implementation but in their conception. Most of us are unfamiliar with evil because we spend much time and effort staying as far away as possible. There’s also an impulse to humanize others. Many want to believe the best in people and trivialize or gloss over readily observable behaviors that might lead to seeing a person as evil. People misinterpret evil acts as separate and apart from having an evil soul. Hitler is a perfect example of pure evil despite a superficial handful of humanizing qualities.

Comments:

He makes the point that the worst thing we do is tolerating evil in our midst. He's right about that.

Saying that someone is "stupid" or "misguided" or "sick" when they are actually evil is making excuses for evil rather than pointing out that it IS evil and opposing it unconditionally.

The author fails to mention that Hitler had Blondi take a cyanide capsule before he did to make sure they worked. They did.

My understanding is that this was not the author's intent, but to me the true lesson from the Wizard of Oz is: Evil is not to be tolerated or constrained, but instead confronted and destroyed. I certainly think that applies here as well.

Pilate asked Jesus "what is truth?" Jesus probably remained silent for the same reason you don't explain the punch line to a joke - if you have to explain it the other person doesn't, and won't, get it. Honest people know what is good and what is true when they are in its presence and no amount of word games changes that. Evil is a negation of the Golden Rule and doesn't make us animals it makes us lower than animals, entities capable of doing and demanding things that not even Satan in Hell has been accused of. We are at a moment in history where "evil" and "untruth" reign in the Western world. What to do? A sentence I read in a book recently points to where our likely Calvary will be: "And one must be willing to walk straight into a concentration camp just for the sake of meeting with friends." We were never told that it would be easy only what would be required - pick up your cross and follow me.

personality disorders are listed, iirc, in the diagnostic manual. but they are not mental illnesses. they cannot be cured. these are spiritual 'diseases', it is said. their thoughts and deeds are stone evil. and they rejoice in it. so do the shrinks...they make a fortune ''treating'' not the perpetrators, but the victims. think: ''better put some ice on that'. ... or whollyweird, dressing up macron's thugs in parisian streets ... in jack boots, ...lighting that shuffling slab of coprolite in gestapo red/black, or posing with a leering demon grin. had a nightmare many years ago in san francisco wherein i was shocked to learn the Devil was a woman, in a tailored suit. years later i realised and learnt whose face it was i saw--it was sanfrannan. we RCC mackerel-snappers have been around much longer than most of you. we know the prayers and understand why we still have the rites of exorcism.

You'll be fine #10 - we will all soon be faced with collaborating of not. Your resonance with my quote means you will not be a willing collaborator and therefore will not ignore what is coming. And when that time comes we will take each other's hand and walk where Jesus would walk - in beauty and truth knowing that to do otherwise would be beneath Him and what we expect of ourselves. What is the worse that could happen - people outside the concentration camp would get mad at us, we'd be on a one way road to financial and physical ruin (as Woody Allen said "death is a great way to lower expenses") or we would have to live with ourselves if we prayed that this burden was passed onto someone else because we were afraid to look into the eyes of those we left alone to rot. I toured Dachau 50 years ago and what I experienced there has haunted me ever since - no one in those circumstances should be left alone, they desperately need to be in the presence of humans who who aren't lower than animals, those who know what evil is and can look it in the eye without flinching because even the camp guards need to be reminded of what they truly were and are and not what they became out of fear. You'll recognize me as the old man with a glint in his eye, a determination in his step and the need to hold another human's hand as we wander where even angels fear to tread (maybe that is why God made humans). Tally Ho!

The Queensland government recently placed a ban on pumping and dumping carbon dioxide into the rocks of the Great Artesian Basin. This was an event rarely seen -- politicians stumbling onto a sensible energy policy. Burying CO2 would achieve nothing useful -- just more futile green waste. But their ban on Carbon Capture and Underground Storage (CCUS) should be extended to all areas of Queensland, not just this one basin. Even the blinkered Greens and the TikTok generation should recognize that today’s low levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are too close to the red line of death, where all plant life will die (followed by animal life).

Yesterday’s vile travesty of justice, where President Trump was found guilty of 34 felonies, caused history of the dubious kind in America. Many in the mainstream media, which is the PR wing for the Democrats, gloated over the fact that Trump became the first president in American history to be criminally convicted. Since history is being mentioned, let’s look at another kind of history. The history of net worths of past presidents both before and after completing their tenure as president. Let’s begin with President Jimmy Carter: when he was sworn in, his net worth was $2.3 million. However, in current times his net worth is $10 million

Pope Francis complained Catholic seminaries are too full of “faggotry” in a closed-door meeting with Italian bishops last week, local media report. While the pontiff famously asked, “Who am I to judge?” in 2013 in reference to a homosexual monsignor who was trying to live a chaste lifestyle, he has been an outspoken critic of gays in the Catholic priesthood. In 2018, Francis insisted that it is a mistake to downplay the seriousness of homosexuality, asserting that homosexuals have no place in the priesthood. Homosexuality is “not just an expression of an affection,” the pope said in a book-length interview. “In consecrated and priestly life, there’s no room for that kind of affection.”

WASHINGTON — Facing mounting political pressure over the migrant influx at the U.S. southern border, President Joe Biden on Tuesday signed an executive order that will temporarily shut down asylum requests once the average number of daily encounters tops 2,500 between official ports of entry, according to a senior administration official. The shutdown would go into effect immediately since that threshold has already been met, a senior administration official said. The border would reopen only once that number falls to 1,500. The president’s order would come under the Immigration and Nationality Act sections 212(f) and 215(a) suspending entry of noncitizens who cross the southern border into the United States unlawfully.

Lancet‘s guidelines encourage writers to embrace gender identity instead of biological sex. “Sex and gender are often incorrectly portrayed as binary (female/male or woman/man), concordant, and static,” says the guidelines. Therefore, those submitting articles “should use the term ‘sex assigned at birth’ rather than ‘biological sex,’ ‘birth sex’ or ‘natal sex’ as it is more accurate and inclusive.” Inclusive for whom? (Rhetorical question. I know the answer. The men pretending to be females) The Lancet claims “there is no single, universally agreed-upon set of guidelines for defining sex and gender or reporting sex-based and gender based analyses.”

Benjamin Netanyahu has something in common with Garth Brooks -- he has 'friends' in low places.

Biden insists that he is one of Israel's greatest friends, and at least in the days after October 7, Biden appeared to have determination to act like a friend. These days, however, Biden's party has fractured on the war that Hamas started with those brutal massacres, rapes, and kidnappings.
