Humanity is one because Truth is one. Reason unites us. Deliberate in good faith even with madmen and tyrants… and the Good will follow.

An action can be useful to immoral ends, therefore the criterion of usefulness is not a sufficient standard of moral/ethical judgement. Utilitarianism does not recognise the distinction between good and evil ends.
Greater Good is a Euphemism for the Utility of Evil

To do Good is to act in any way that is not ‘contrary to the structure of being’, which is Evil. Good and Evil are a binary moral property of intentional action. Things and states are neither good nor evil in the moral sense; when we call a thing ‘good’, we mean that it is valuable in the utilitarian sense, which is a matter of degree, useful to our purpose, not that it is the binary opposite of Evil. The idea of Greater Good conflates the utilitarian sense of Good with the moral sense, in order to falsely justify Evil as a necessary condition of the Good.
Once any form of racial supremacism is accepted, a more extreme form will emerge and seek to be normalised. Supremacism can never be appeased or reconciled with. The end is always the same.
"A free society is regarded as one that does not engage, on principle, in attempting to control what people find meaningful, and a totalitarian society is regarded as one that does, on principle, attempt such control."

Tribalism is the foundation of nativist supremacism, the essence of Nazi ideology, which emerges when tribal norms are challenged by other cultures. The tribal mindset is primitive insofar as it is not aware (or refuses to accept) that there is a higher level of social connection and affinity than familial relations, race, tradition or culture. At that higher level, which is the meta-structure of meaning itself, reducible to the laws of sense, the universal conditions on the basis of which meaning can be generated by reflexive, social relations independent of culture or genetics, there is humanity as such, and humanism (understood in the Kantian sense) as the antithesis of tribalism. Modern history can be reduced to the conflict between these two forces, one dying a natural death but still unleashing its inherent commitment to violence as the ultimate arbiter of values and facts, and the other learning how to mitigate this primordial irrationalism without negating its own commitment to humanity by becoming violent itself.

Tribalism is the original sin of the ancients. Universal morality is impossible without first rejecting all tribal prejudices and seeing each individual as a conscious rational being, subject to the same fundamental rules of meaning. For as long as tribalism prevails, humanity is rejected. https://t.iss.one/NormalParty/1172

Those who invoke human rights to defend their tribal interests are contradicting themselves. By prioritising “my people” they devalue humanity, and thus negate the logical basis of human rights. There is no “my people”; there are only People and Animals, and every Hominin has the capacity to choose where to belong. We choose humanity by not making unconditional demands or declaring “my truth”, but by reasoning and deliberating with all others to rationally resolve any disagreements from commonly accepted premises. A commitment to humanity is a commitment to create common meaning and this cannot be done by holding onto “your truth” or “your people”. Unless you renounce your tribe as the essence of your identity and stand alone as a human, you are not yet willing to understand other humans, and you will not find peace.
The Earth Universe was originally stolen from my ancestors. Then, I realised that we all have the same ancestors, and the Universe belongs to all of us (or to none).
The only legitimate basis of private property is our own creative effort, which can then be traded for exclusive occupancy of a parcel of an otherwise shared resource that can be subsequently gifted or traded to another. The idea of ownership on the basis of occupancy involves a logical fallacy, presupposing what remains to be proven.
It is as if the banks are themselves trying to cause a bank run. Since all cash in existence covers only 3% of bank deposits, a bank run would force conversion of the remaining 97% of deposits into “digital cash”.

On Religious Resentment

In order to find a religion blameworthy it is not sufficient to point out bad examples of human action, but show that the religion is essentially at fault, the cause, by logical analysis, otherwise there is confounding of possible causes of bad behaviour. Even then a logical distinction must be made between philosophy of religion, criticism of specific claims/beliefs, and the criticism of people who profess the said religion but not necessarily profess those specific claims/beliefs. I realised some time ago that every person interprets religion according to their moral conscience, and since all scriptures in all religions are at least in part contradictory and ostensibly hateful (if taken at face value) there is also room for moral choice in every religion, almost as if the scriptures were designed to offer a test of moral conscience. Every religion and dogmatic tradition is deficient, and it is up to individuals to choose the correct moral interpretation if they are not yet ready or free to abandon the chains of imposed tradition. To blame one religion is to blame them all, but ultimately each individual is responsible for making the choice between right and wrong.

The weaponisation of migration to force dis-assimilation in Europe is not an act of Islam; it is an act of atheistic agents of the global capital seeking to incite and exploit religious disagreements. This is the primary reason why one must not fall into the trap of religious animosity and resentment. We must talk, reason, come to rational understanding, despite the fact that it is not possible to come to agreement with everyone, especially if they are paid to disagree to the bitter end, chaos agents. There are always some who will understand, who want to understand, who are not corrupt.
This mock poster produced by aboriginal activist Gary Foley in the 70’s still captures the psychology of the overt mystification and (the essentially racist, pretentious and self-aggrandising) fawning over aboriginality among the post-Protestant and neo-pagan middle class. Gary, despite being a clever guy, still misses the fundamental moral problem with the Voice; he endorses tribal separatism and nativist supremacism, a self-defeating position. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12273553/Gary-Foley-NAIDOC-Week-Indigenous-activist-uses-1970s-buy-beer-poster-attack-Voice.html

A list of non-protest type activities that could be effective in raising public awareness about the the moral cost of vaccine mandates:

A) a marathon in memory of the victims of vaccine mandates;

B) a bicycle race across Australia in memory of the human right to free medical consent;

C) a chess tournament for the cure against medical tyranny;

D) a children’s drawing/painting competition in the honour of those who did not acquiesce to the removal of the right to free medical consent from their children and future generations.
The surest path for Aboriginal people (and everyone else) to improve the conditions of their existence is modern education (logic, literature and world history) and maximum engagement with the intellectual currents of humanity, globally, but tribalism and tribal lore stands in the way, perpetuating an identity based on resentment and self-exclusion. Tribal identity is a cage for the mind, preventing Aboriginal children from fully embracing their human identity, as conscious rational beings capable of creating unbounded meaning with all other humans, by means of what we all have in common.
The awareness of contradiction forces us to make a choice between one of the mutually inconsistent propositions, otherwise our capacity for consistently realising intentions would be diminished. Conscious agency is commensurate with the capacity to detect contradictions in our thought process.
The core difference between materialism/paganism and idealism/monotheism is that the former is committed to the view that rational consciousness has physical/biological roots, whereas the latter maintains that both consciousness and the physical/biological reality are an expression of the same fundamental metaphysical principle. Only one of these views can be true. The problem for materialists/pagans is to explain the primacy of ‘nature’ over the 'idea' of nature (which is all we ever think about when we talk about 'nature'). The problem for idealists/monotheists is to consistently define the metaphysical principle of existence and explain how it 'causes' physical existence and consciousness.
The proposition that Digital Cash can be used to block citizens from buying ‘less desirable’ items is a euphemism for Digital Cash being used to block ‘less desirable’ citizens from buying items.
