Does this stimulate you to consider the idea of Christ as reality? Witnessing the raw reality of evil changed my beliefs.

Ageing gay Millennial, and same. I’m always relieved to find out that someone is a Christian, and I become more comfortable around that person. This after so many years of being a hardcore lib.

hey ninja kitty. nice to see you. hope all is well

@@kentonufreichuk933 ..OMG 🙀a very welcome blast from the past 😸Do drop by Ms. KeriHat's, as I do my best to be there as much as can be. For that matter, drop by the chat right here in Benjamin's and allow The Kitty to give you a welcoming 🐈bonk

i don't drop by keri's feed much. i will sub to benjamin's now too. the wife and i are beyond busy with the business and the kids. happy to see you.

That first sentence hits hard. Yes.

@@joshslocum7467 I've seen this first hand too many times.

Yeeeeep. 😬

Very very true. I would like to add though: growing up with a bipolar mother and a co-dependent/enabling father, I have struggled more with my relationship with my mother, whereas my 2 brothers' biggest issue has been the relationship with our father. Our parents both emotionally abandoned us in very different yet specific ways and, as siblings, we recognize and understand each other's experience on a deep level - but our struggle to become functioning adults has been very different. Partly because of differences in personality - but more fundamentally because of either being a daughter or a son in our disfunctional family.

Religious people will tell you, that's not enough.

Is there an origin that you know of to that statement/idea? A writer, a book, scripture?

wow. nice… thank you!

Yes I'd like to know more about scriptural precedent for this, or particular figures in the history of the church with this role. It's reminiscent of the idea of Bodhisattva in Buddhism, who forgoes enlightenment to guide souls through Samsara toward Nirvana

Dude this would be epic. Duttons latest IRL interviews are so great.

As a fan of both… yikes. Maybe? Dutton is about IQ and dysgenics, whereas Josh is about Cluster B.

@@partiellementecreme common topic: mental illness and it's effects on society

Yes! They are both brutally honest about the madness, it would be worthwhile.

Yes, they both have a bead on the pathocracy. While Josh speaks of "Cluster B grievance ghouls," Dutton describes such figures as "spiteful mutants."

It’s fun watching Disaffected knowing that Josh is nearby to us just down in Vermont.

Beautifully well said. ❤ This is exactly why I've chosen never to give birth. I love the children of friends and family, and I rescue and rehab orphaned animal "children", but biologically I inherited a physical mess. _"First, do no harm"_ perfectly explains why I've chosen never to give birth to any children myself.

Hey boss, if you want, look up the answer to “who started the Catholic Church” 🥰🙏🏻

I have sung in choirs all my life, and I just had to cut that part of my life out because of this.

I gave up going to community choir, it seems to attract a lot of 'authoritarian followers'. The church one is great though, the banter is hilarious.

I don't even care when I get the first comment on any video. 🤥

🥇🥰

Me too, but what's the plural?

😻

Same. . . and greetings to yours! Awesome face!

Buildings are proof of a builder, books are proof of a writer and creation is proof of a creator. Please research who started the Catholic Church, darling.

It's called the "general factor of psychopathology." Type it into a search engine or into google scholar. Also called the "p factor."

Feminism, Feminists, Feminist Policy

achievement pressure and emotional isolation from parents. Parents make more money, work more and are less present

For thousands of years(yes, thousands) humans lived very much in a collective state of total dissociation from reality. This, I believe, was the result of the extreme oppression and subjugation of women. When a mother is dissociated from reality, due to the abuse and trauma she experiences, so too will her children be. When you are totally dissociated from reality, you feel almost nothing. You’re very numb, emotionally. Robots, so to speak, who do what they do because that’s what they’ve been programmed to do, and they don’t give it any real critical thought. As women gained some liberation(in the west anyway), they came out of dissociation(to some extent; we are all dissociated to some degree, due to the very unnatural circumstances of our existence), which means they, along with their children, started experiencing more of reality on a conscious level. This leads to feelings, all sorts of feelings. Dissociation seemed to work so well, relative to what we’re experiencing now, because we do live in such an unnatural and inhumane way, all over the world. The way we evolved to live is 180 degrees different from how we do live, and our brains and bodies are pretty much the same as the brains and bodies of our ancestors who lived 100,000 years ago. Anyway, our material reality has been terrible for about 10,000-12,000 years(since the advent of agriculture and domestication), but it has only been in the last 60-80 years that we have started to really become conscious, on a large scale, of how terrible things are for humans. Patriarchy and capitalism conditions us to prioritize material resources/money over anything, and so we assume that the more money and stuff we have, the better our lives are. Nothing could be further from the truth, because as pack animals, nothing is more valuable than an emotional connection to other humans. In a way, feminism can be blamed for the change we are experiencing, if you are someone who feels the need to lay blame at the feet of a person or group or social movement. I’m not. Prior to agriculture, humans lived in a very egalitarian and cooperative manner. If anything, humans are more naturally matriarchal than patriarchal, like bonobos. It is theorized that there was some sort of ecological disaster that caused humans’ temperaments to change, probably around 13,000 years ago. Chronic stress(like the type you would experience if your environment suddenly became hostile for an extended period of time) leads to a reduction in emotional empathy and an increase in antisocial(or anti human) behavior. I will say that feminism sought to take women from the position of slaves to their husbands to the position of slaves to capitalists, which was not good. In a way, it made life better for women, but in a way, it got worse. Sure, they are not totally dependent upon men who are allowed to beat them and their children, cheat, and treat them like inferiors, and they can leave whenever they want without worrying about social stigma, but they still do not have the one key component of a safe, secure, fulfilled life, which is a strong connection to other women. Oh, and these women who were “raised up” to the level of men left their children behind. At least in the past, I think that women felt more of a connection to their children, via shared oppression under men. Now, children don’t have that connection(as unfulfilling as it was), and they don’t have connections with peers, largely due to the increase in technology. They’re all alone, for the most part. In reality, we are all objects under capitalism, and if we have no use, we will be discarded. Humans cannot possibly be happy living this way, and those who say they are, for the most part, are highly dissociated from reality. To be truly fulfilled and secure, a human must be accepted, unconditionally, by another human(preferably many other humans) as they are, regardless of what they do/achieve/accomplish. And under capitalism, any child who is unconditionally accepted by their parents has no chance of “success”, according to societal standards.

@@TheElderScrib many parents make less money when accounting for inflation in cost of living and the expectation of both parents working outside the home while outsourcing both child and eldercare to institutions has had rather disasterous results.

I notice it in a lot of younger women who come to treatment. It's this ridiculous sense of entitlement towards special treatment based on gender. I don't know if it's exactly trauma and abuse. It may be due to how people are being socialized and raised. I honestly see more self-loathing and self-hatred in men and more borderline and narcissism in women.

Well said, thank you! ❤ I think it can be very, very different for different people, as well. . . both in the actions we take, and in the timing. Like for instance I was in a support group for families, survivors, and responders after 9/11, and every year -- as we faced another upcoming anniversary -- we each had ways of dealing with it, but they were rarely the same ways at the same time. In retrospect I realize that there was literally a whole decade between when one of us was ready for something, and when another of us was ready for the same thing. . . and people in between those two. So even when two people need the same actions to help us move through the grief, we may need to take these actions at a different time than someone we love who is also moving through grief from the same cause. That's something I hadn't known before.

In the video, he explains that. He was triggered. People who have been abused have buttons. Push the button, they go off with an overreaction. He is in a healing journey. Extreme reactivity is a phase. Come back in 5 years.

@@4Charis Apparently his button is being disagreed with.

"And when I say 'power', I mean the power to be vulnerable and connect with other humans, NOT power over other humans." What? I don't understand this. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Betrayal means breaking of expectation. Seneca allegory with the cart an expectation helped me. He had to deal with Nero.

Right, it's a sailing metaphor.
