Mark's Merciful Mind
While others dream of a long line of in-use crucifixes surrounding DC, Mark understands the truth. You can't kill the evil or error within us all, by chopping off a few convenient heads.
Yesterday I posted an open challenge article that consisted entirely of a headline and subheading.
Despite not being a member of the ruling class, Mark took the Judeo-Christian route of defending them despite the fact that doing so offers him no personal benefit at all. (I don't think he expects Elon Musk or Vladimir Putin to send him a thank you card.)
The masses follow their leaders like freshly born goats follow their nursing mothers — right up until the moment the masses smell weakness or doubt from their societal slave drivers.… at which point they instintly seek vengeance in the ancient manner, and with lusty zeal wheel out the old devices for public torture and humiliation.
Mark however defends their basic humanity, and he's right. Which is why I don't preclude conversions from amongst the reigning caste to our cause. We aren't their mortal enemy and we do not seek vengeance.
Mark commented:
That is indeed their truest excuse.
Each class justifies its treatment of the class below them by noting how the class below them treats those even further down the ladder.
Here's a fun silly little video of geese from among the first of my YouTube videos.
People enjoyed it so I pointed out that it serves as a good parable about our society as well, based on your precise point.
That's why even though I know more than most people about how much the elite are screwing the masses (remember that I was the only non-reporter in attendance at Ghislaine Maxwell's trial1) I don't call for their blood and don't think that they're any worse than anyone else (or at least not worse than the average person) , if the average person had the chance to have the same wealth and power. 2
That's why I prefer Truth And Reconciliation rather than a violent revolution where the leaders are killed by people who would clearly act just the same way as soon as they ascend the throne -- something we can see plainly in the very present, by how they treat those classes of people ALREADY beneath their own.
Whether it's the leadership class who ignore the same laws they craft for the masses, or criminals who have done terrible things, I regard nearly all of them as humans acting pretty much the same way as most humans would in their shoes.
The story about Jesus saving the adulterous woman is considered by most scholars and invention added hundreds of years after the cannon was closed.
I generally agree with scholars in such matters but in this instance I could not.
This was clearly true Judaism.
It could not have been entered into the canon why people who were not connected to the Living tradition of Judaism.
We know that it isn't in the earliest versions of the canon but I still give it very high odds of having been input there by a Jewish person. I didn't know how that could be but that story is such pure truth that it had to be.
I later discovered in the writings of one of the church fathers who was intent on reading discovered in the writings of one of the church fathers who was intent on weeding out "heresies", that such a story existed within the earliest versions of the Canon that was accepted by those early Jewish Christians who revered Jesus but didn't worship him.
Thank God, somewhere along the way it entered the general Bible For The Gentiles and therefore still remains with us today, otherwise one of the clearest human moments in The Gentile Bible of Yehoshua from Narzeret would have been lost to eternity.
Let he who is sinless stand forth alone to make that claim and cast the first stone.
The War I'm fighting for Equal Human Greatness and Dignity may have temporal enemy classes, but no permanent ones.
In most cases, those who are sinless of the crimes by the ruling class are so only cause they haven't had the opportunity.
I say this not out of cynicism along the lines of "power corrupts", but because even at this very moment those why not the top most stones of the pyramid still lay heavy on those stones that lie beneath them still.
