Philosophy Now Forum

The Muslim has been - is being - targeted by the west. Why is many reasons, one being Islam has a major following and sits well against corporate consumer capitalism. Conflict. The Middle East. Resources. Profits. Since 2000 the Western power's have committed state terror in the capitals to help their 'project'. They still cannot just do as they wish but must get you to believe it too.

The mainstream media work alongside power to indoctrinate you into thinking a certain way. If you continue listening to this communication you can never truly be free from power's hold on you.

This is right, and the non-mainstream media do the same. And even the threads you read on this forum indoctrinate you. Even the one you read just now. . . .
If you really want to come at least close to the truth, you need to question everything. Even that 1+1=2. But even in your questioning, and finding answers, you use a knowledge you gained so far. From where does this knowledge come? Does it not, after all, also indoctrinate you?

Another is that too many of them are blowing $h|t up, shooting people, crashing planes into buildings, using trucks to run people over, etc.

The truth to human actions and events are real and exist. That is a starting place.

This is the communication from power who's job is (historically) to contain and control you. To believe power is to give your whole self over to that power. The communication from power must always be (if you consider yourself free-thinking) seen in the light of the historical fact: the enemy of power is the people. Therefore the communication that comes from power must be seen in light of this fact.

Well I love all those that love all others, despite our differences, or because of our differences.
I hate those that hate others, because of our differences.

Everyone needs to stay in their own lane of life, because to, in any way, impede another's progress in their lane, automatically disqualifies you and your lane.

Life is short my friends, and we all need to respect one another's right to pursue their own world view, while it never detracts from another's view.

The place we find ourselves in is a bubble of distraction, lies and death. Outside the bubble is...?

Well be fair, they just can't get the drones, B-52's, depleted uranium, Abrams, F-15's, cruise missiles, etc, etc.

In other words, you're saying they're not actually blowing $h|t up etc.? Let's do some epistemology, since we're on a philosophy site: how do you know they're not actually blowing $h|t up?

Okay, how do you know they are?

As I wrote it, I thought, this is wide open to an Impenitent comment.
