How does anyone know anything is accurate? It’s my personal attempt to summarize a huge topic based on my personal experience. YMMV.
Evidence
Evidence is nothing more than someone’s best assessment of their sensory data. Truth comes from God, and we know that from faith, which is stronger than any evidence based belief. All in all, we speak what we believe to be true, and it’s not a great use of your time to question that.
Wow. I mean. I’m honestly not surprised at how mask off this comment is, but I never thought one of you would be so explicit that you don’t actually care about what’s true or not. I almost don’t believe you’re not trolling
I’m not trolling you, but it sounds like you grossly misunderstood me, which is my fault for not communicating better. Sorry, I was tired when I wrote that. I’ll try to explain what I meant.
I stand behind my definition of “woke”, as it is what I believe to be true based on mountains of evidence over the years. That evidence is readily available pretty much everywhere you look online, unless you bury your head in leftist echo chambers. Also when you go to church and talk with your neighbors, assuming you live in a relatively normal American small town, it is one of the main topics of conversation, and has been for a long time.
That being said, everything I just wrote in the last paragraph is anecdotal based on my personal experience. Other normal conservatives may agree with my definition of “woke”, yet if you were to ask them for their own it obviously wouldn’t be verbatim what I wrote. Moreover if you do bury your head in leftist echo chambers, live in an urban hell-hole, and never go to church or talk with normal people, you might be completely out of touch with reality. You might think “woke” is somehow a good thing, and that perception would be your evidence, based on your personal experience.
I said you grossly misunderstood me because you said I don’t care about truth, which is false. I care deeply about truth, more than anything. When we talk about truth, we talk about God. Jesus told us that he is the way, the truth, and the life. Everything we know to be true comes from God. As for evidence, we find abundant evidence of God’s handiwork everywhere we look, and especially in our hearts. But despite that evidence, we trust in God out of faith, because faith trumps evidence every single time. Evidence is just a personal interpretation of sensory data, whereas faith gives us direct access to the truth that is God.
I certainly know how to have fun trolling on rare occasion when the mood strikes, but no, none of what I’ve written here is trolling.
Can you point to me self identified neo-marxists. Marxist love writing about theory so surely one of these neo-marxists have written extensively about their ideology.
As a conservative, I cannot. I assume you are a conservative too, seeing as how this is m/conservative. I can tell you far more about people who self-identify as conservatives than I can about leftists.
That being said, I can tell you what makes neo-marxist theory. Wait, I already typed it out above, in the comment starting with:
That’s a relatively short comment, but suffice to say all of the high-level goals of traditional Marxism have carried over into neo-Marxism.
Are there leftist authors writing about it? Probably, but that’s not the sort of thing I read.
Is this an echo chamber? Or are discussions allowed? I’m a marxist, firm belief that democratic centralism in unions, political party and government (in that order) are foundational in fixing our economic imbalances.
I do alot of reading, my wife does more. Prominent authors both from history and Marxists applying theory to the material reality of modern times. Everything you have said 1) I have never seen or 2) is completely fabricated.
Of course I don’t go to church. I’d rather not get raped. You trust in God because you can’t think for yourself and have to be scared and beaten in to submission, and then you ask for more. So keep with your “faith” and I’ll stick with my evidence and truth.
Wow, no. What? How is it possible to get so much wrong using so few words? Everything you just wrote is 100% incorrect. Now I have to wonder if you’re the one trolling. What are you doing in m/conservative? I trust in God because He created us, including you, and He loves us, including you, and His glory permeates all of creation, including you. He teaches us to be humble, and to that end you may heal once you admit to yourself that you know nothing, and open your heart to Jesus so He can forgive you, and save you. You may be plagued by demons now, but there is absolutely hope for you to find love and fill the vast emptiness in your life.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume you’re talking about the christian god.
Anyways, if that’s the case, that truth comes from god, then how come there are thousands of denominations of christianity?
Good guess that I was referring to the one true living God! It sure is easy to communicate with fellow conservatives, but it’s awfully suspicious to read those disrespectful minuscules.
I’m sure you’re familiar with the Tower of Babel, which answers that question about divisions. However, all of the denominations (with extremely rare exception) agree on the essentials of Christianity.
Actually that just raises more questions, because the divisions from the tower of babel were caused by god, which is at odds with this idea of yours that truth comes from god.
I would disagree they agree on the essentials. There is disagreement over how people are saved, what the afterlife looks like, how to interpret the bible, what passages are metaphorical/literal, and then you get to the concept of sin. Every denomination has a different opinion on what things are sins and what things aren’t.
Why does this all happen if they are all supposedly getting their info from the same source?
