Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?

Ooh, Heaven could be a place on Earth

They say in Heaven, eugenics comes first

We'll ethically cleanse Heaven until it's just like Earth

Ooh, Burn Down Heaven till it's a place like Earth

I had started liking that song again thanks to the Black Mirror episode, and now it's ruined again.

What I immediately thought of when reading the lyrics

Karlyn Borysenko. That's the "expert" being talked about here.

I think crazy undersells her.

fascism might actually be our only option to actually defeat the left

Now, my political stance aside, I think anyone who is in this mindset is someone who is having issues understanding how a Democracy works. Or Republic or whatever she is feeling like calling it today. She's really famous for getting hung up on incredibly small details about words and what they mean. So meaningful debate with her is nonexistent.

She's definitely one of those all bark but if there was an actual outbreak of violence in this nation, be the first one on an airplane out of the country. So, to me at least, her opinion is vanishingly insignificant. Especially in the domain of how to approach any far end political group. Because, anyone who feels violence will solve something is someone who has no real solution.

Also she gets super hung up on education and she should stop trying to be Governor or whatever aspirations she has, and go get on a school board or something. Being a talking head on Fox isn't any kind of distinction, they have random people yapping all day on there.

But her saying "Hitler went to heaven", that tracks. It's just that the color of the sky in her head is that special. Also, if there was a heaven and Hitler's in it. I'll be more than happy to take the opposite (which that's the point of their argument that the opposite doesn't exist, again special colors of the sky there). But her perspective of Hitler is mostly fueled with incredibly poor understanding of World War II. But there's no point is discussing that matter with her because, you'd have a better chance convincing a wall that it's a window.

Again, it's a lot to do with the whole "what do words actually mean?!" kind of argument with her. It tiring trying to ask her what the fucking weather is at the moment while you are both standing outside. She's THAT kind of person to debate with. But it's whatever, takes all kinds to make the world go round. I wouldn't invest a hay penny in anything she has to say, but everyone is free to do whatever they want.

If there was a heaven, he'd have to be there so residents could queue up and kick him in the balls.

Well, ball, anyway.

Well, he's the guy who killed Hitler, so...

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Absolutely in line with the mindset of the current government, yes.

This is nothing new. Christians have been treating this as a thought exercise for eighty ish years and evangelicals and Mormons have periodically decided it was brownie points for them to forgive hitler.

There was an article thirty or so years back that did a deep dive on orson scott card that argued the Ender Series was a thinly veiled example of this.

Fun fact, heaven as described in all religions doesen't exist, Ergo that "expert" is wrong.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

if this person does not believe in universal salvation then they are not going to heaven.

The basic universal question: which lied first? Trump or Fox?
