The d0n0ld bubble has a lot of morons in it. If you are a smart person, I'd think you'd realize that. Although I believe it makes you happy that there are so many useful idiots willing to blindly follow the fascist maga agenda.

Your white guilt-pride keeps you in the TDS bubble, jes' sayin'!

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

I'm cool with that. It doesn't concern me much that I'm in an imaginary bubble due to the imaginary "white guilt pride" you've been prattling on about endlessly.

Joe Conservative said...

Sorry, who does the preaching?

Joe Conservative said...

You're an f'ing EVANGELICAL.

Joe Conservative said...

Activism IS evangelism.

d0n0ld is Dervish's bogeyman.

Minus: You're an f'ing EVANGELICAL.

No.

Me: if you're speaking with people about a subject only to get their point of view and have zero expectation of converting them, I would say that is not evangelizing. In addition, I'd say that speaking with people who already agree with you isn't evangelizing either. Would you agree?

Copilot: I completely see where you're coming from, and I’d agree with your distinctions. Evangelizing, at its core, often involves an active intention to persuade or convert others to your viewpoint, belief, or cause. Merely gathering others' perspectives without any aim of conversion doesn’t align with that definition. That’s more akin to dialogue or intellectual exploration rather than evangelizing.

Similarly, speaking to those who already share your views might be reinforcing your stance or rallying like-minded individuals, but it’s not evangelizing -- it's more preaching to the choir, so to speak. Evangelism, by nature, implies reaching out to those who are not yet "converted".

Anti-racism is performative activism/evangelism.

Joe Conservative said...

If you want to be considered part of the group of "good people"... you must PERFORM, else you are a "bad person". It has EVERYTHING to do with "group conversion". It's the "masonic handshake" for group membership.

Joe Conservative said...

ps - No one tries to "convert the converted".

Joe Conservative said...

...but they will perform their secret handshake.

Joe Conservative said...

...its' their "sign" that MUST be worn.

Joe Conservative said...

The "ambivalence" you speak of is NOT permitted.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

I don't "perform", I say what I mean. Are you performing?

Joe Conservative said...

You don't call all Republicans racists? You call out black criminality? You 100% absorbed in andf committed to your anti-racist method acting.

Joe Conservative said...

Say it with me, "blacks are crackers".

Joe Conservative said...

If this is your culture, you're a cracker..

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

No...but saying THAT would make you a stranger danger!... a "threat", and isn't very "inclusive"... and so the truth must be mystified, hidden, and never again spoken.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Truth can be ugly...and so you "prettify" it, make it kitschy, and uncomprehend the comprehensible... cuz you want to show everyone what a "good person" you are.

Joe Conservative said...

...that you're "not a threat".

Joe Conservative said...

...at least, not to the politically correct Sadducees of your affiliated group (Democrats).

Joe Conservative said...

You're just playing your small part in the chorus!

Joe Conservative said...

...cuz Pharisees are "good people".

Joe Conservative said...

...but unlike Jacob, you no longer "wrestle with God"... are no longer "of Israel"...you simply follow certain 'angels'. Cuz there's only ONE G_d, and all the other "angels" are with Lucifer, the Enlightened "light bearer"

Joe Conservative said...

When you look at Jacob's ladder Derv, do you following the up-going or down-going angels?

Joe Conservative said...

You're like the Cyclops sensing Odysseus and his men escaping his cave screaming... "No MAN did this to me..."
