Lying to yourself and living in a delusion has worked for lots of folks here. Well, it actually hasn't worked for them, but then why change now? Better to stick with the proven escape mechanism than risk being actually forced to think and shake off the partisan programming.
Better yet, join Art at DKOS...where intellect and thinking is a dirty word, and has been substituted with the words conformity and obedience and the wallpaper is post-Bolshevik modern. A permanent aroma of revolution and anger which is there 24/7 might help you channel your anger more usefully. It's always comforting for a DKOS member to see they are not the only angry, miserable, depressed folks out there! For what is a single ant without the colony to back him up? They get to compete with each the other in producing hate and anger! If they do well...they get rewarded by the approving murmur of the other ants. No "moral pygmies" will be there to bother you. In fact ALL folks there will be moral giants!
When you get to DKOS and see and interact with all those mirror reflections with the perverse and angry faces - and start to feel nauseous - that's when your chance for a real epiphany will arrive. Well it will arrive after they shout you down and delete your posts when you post anything resembling a different opinion from the officially sanctioned groupthinkcluster and suspect you are a plant. Only after you prove your loyalty to the colony will you be permitted to even slightly deviate from the approved clusterthink.
Now don't get angry with me for putting such ugly truths in your face.
You see... I'm a moral pygmy. I DON'T save people's feelings and cushion the truth from them. That sort of sensitivity and the cushion of being around a web full of liars and deceivers who will speak to you in platitudes and offer you their ears and a quick word of false sympathy while they hope you do the same for them in return is for "moral giants."
Believe me...most humans react and run from the truth like it is boric acid being poured all over them. A shower of lies is the only thing that makes them feel clean again.
