By not ceding to your violent demands, I break down your ugly comments, and get to know you. Acceptance, allowing yourself to be insulted, is how breakdowns become breakthroughs. When Jesus talked about turning the the otehr cheek, what he really meant was to make the person slap you with the inside of their hand, ad the original, a backhand, was also done to insult your manhood. By standing up to your attacker, and demanding them insult you like a 'man', you generally diffuse the situation of disrespect before the second slap. So my theory and point is to LEARN to take those slaps in stride. It's like ignoring the bully. it's not something you do right away, it happens over time as you turn indignation into self-dignity. By demanding someone REALLY insult you, they and you both realize they may not even have it in them. Sticks and Stones, my friend, sticks and stones...

Let's say I know what you look like, take particular umbrage at your response, and replied with a comment calling you a lardass or four-eyes or a pencil-neck or something like that. Would that make me somebody whose thoughts and opinions were worth hearing out in your estimation? Okay, Dana.

It doesn't matter who's espousing the belief if society does not take that belief seriously. I've observed the same thing with feminism. You can present the same damn idea from feminism nicely, you can have the most respected representative of feminism (whoever that is) present the idea, you can have Andrea Dworkin present the idea, it's still gonna be rejected. Any time you have an idea that goes against the mainstream or is perceived to threaten it, or both, you're going to run into this. And personally I don't have much use for people who think that not being rude to other people is "political correctness." Not that I have a problem with the idea of being rude to people who deserve rudeness. The thing with what is now termed "PC" is that its adherents shunned being rude to a person simply because of the population group they belong to. In short, that it's not nice to kick someone when they're already down. I don't know how this got evolved into something that everyone should mock, and it is a cop-out to blame campus radical activists. If the message is sound it doesn't matter who delivers it or how they do so. You don't judge the advice by its giver, you judge it by its own merits. This stuff just aggravates me, and it's part of the reason the world is in such a mess. Because none of us are willing to be responsible for our own actions and beliefs. It's always, "Someone else is working on the problem," or "It's not my problem," or "You're a big meaniehead and you look funny so I'm not gonna listen to you," and how much more of that crap can the species take before we run out of time for things like rewilding?

I have an interesting article on Australian Aborigines and their dwellings, but the newspaper didn't put it online, I only have a scanned .pdf copy.

I've said before that I really can't imagine these people having the sort of social skills necessary to keep a real tribe going. Another thing is that the reason for all their vitriol is that they don't like the way Jason spreads the word about primitivism and civilization's inevitable fall. But the rancid personalities and foul temperaments these people display at every possible opportunity lead one to the conclusion that if they were the only people out there representing primitivist thought, primitivism would end up being as much the object of jokes and scorn among people in general as college-campus radical-leftist political correctness has become. Perhaps these purist mavens would regard such scorn as a sign of their superiority as one of the lucky few who get to be born to their rad righteous "pure" primitivism. But those who walk around flaunting such attitudes are probably exactly the sort of people likely to meet an unfortunate end at the hands of their fellow primates once the collapse is well underway. Put more bluntly, recall the famous t-shirt slogan "The only reason some people are still alive is because it's against the law to kill them."
