- drysine 9mo agoYes, sounds right. Because you can't hit a killer with stone if you envy your rich neighbor.
- mikkupikku 9mo agoThere's a reason Nietzsche labeled it slave morality. It undermines people's confidence to act and judge other appropriately, revalues weakness to be a virtue and strength as evil, and demands that people stop trying to change the world for the better and focus instead on their own supposed guilt. It's morality developed for people who are structurally unable to act (because they are commoner serfs with no power) to make them feel justified and satisfied with inaction.
- Hasnep 9mo agoYeah, that's exactly what I was thinking of, just didn't want to start a flame war.
- gritspants 9mo agoThe woke movement in many ways has taken core Christian principles, cut out the supernatural elements, and formed a new quasi religious movement. It has its dogmas and priests, it focuses on the poor & disadvantaged, etc. That's not a criticism of woke, I see it more as a response of the failures of Christianity in practice to live or embrace those values.
