I'm trying to break you out of your quasi-Boolean thinking. A suitably manipulative person, when not framed by any ethical concerns, can use a variety of indoctrinative techniques can get anyone to believe, sincerely, anything. That's been the thrust of my criticism of your initial position (which you still haven't cleared up for me yet - Do you care about the motivations or not?!).
Quote: "which is why I refered to the Nazi example.I'm sure most Nazis were good, kind & loving, to their mothers, to friends & colleagues, maybe even to broader society on the whole. Just don't ask them about Jews or Gypsies. So I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve using this example, other than to highlight the continues failure of your quasi-Boolean thinking.
Do you agree with the above statement?
Quote:You cannot produce love with hate, you cannot "indoctrinate" people with hateful ideology and produce love, It's common sense.Yes you can. Stockholm syndrome is a perfect example as are cases of DA.
Quote:Therefore I am comfortable in saying that any ideology (no matter what it is) that causes one to love their fellow man, I'm ok with.Well, I'm not. Do you think that North Koreans love each other any less than any other society?
Quote:You on the other hand choose to make it about abuse, and anyone with a brain knows that abuse causes fear, not love.You're wrong. Please see above.
Quote:Either it's love or it isn't, to "mimic" love means it's NOT love.And yet again, if ou don't care about the motivations behind it, how can you tell the difference? I'm going to keep asking this until I actually get an answer and not a dodge.
Quote:So if you saying that Abuse does not in fact cause love, then I agree.Jesus fucking wept...
Hey Huggy, any response or have you dumped this conversation?
