Very interesting listen. Proof that people on opposing positions can have civil dialogue without placing their ideologies first.

I have had such a sickening of men in masses, and of causes, that I would not cross this room to reform parliament or prevent the union or to bring about the millennium. I speak only for myself, mind – it is my own truth alone – but man as part of a movement or a crowd is indifferent to me. He is inhuman. And I have nothing to do with nations, or nationalism. The only feelings I have – for what they are – are for men as individuals; my loyalties, such as they may be, are to private persons alone.

Men are moved by two levers only: fear and self interest.
I originally wasn’t going to comment on the Charleston shooting but seeing the purveying reactions on Tumblr and Twitter left me with no resort. It comes as no surprise that those entrenched in their ideologies are already spreading false information and spinning narratives. Its times like these where you can see the underlying stupidity and repulsive nature of the general populace. People know that racism is a problem yet are continuing to perpetuate a climate where racism can’t be discussed in a constructive and equitable fashion. Instead of any progress being made we are essentially stuck in the same rut with one side apprehensive to discuss due to “guilt” while the other feels they are not capable of being racist at all. Furthermore we are now subject to the tireless amount of politicized opinions of people who wish to capitalize on the murders. And of course we can also look forward to the pointless array of bills brought forth in order to make the populace feel better emotionally. However, these hardly ever amount to anything but more conceded control i.e. government surveillance programs, gun controls, etc. But yes go ahead and focus your outrage on trivial things like a flag even though a couple days ago nobody cared about such things at all. Lets guarantee that nothing will be accomplished but widening the schism in America.
1. Tolerance
2. Acceptance
3. Celebration
4. Forced participation
5. Punishment of all dissenters
Unfortunately these stages of political correctness are easily identified regardless of the topic. And they all end in punishment with those that disagree. Also notice how discussion and debate are not included in the process.
