Tyranny by different groups: which is more dangerous?
An over simplified concept but here it is.
Tyranny by well meaning individuals or groups (virtue signallers) is the most dangerous. These people believe they are doing this for your own or the common good. They have no constraints on how far they will go to achieve this. There is no conscience to reign them in. They see themselves as the “good”.
Tyranny by truly evil people is different. They know they are doing evil for various reasons and goals. It is quite obvious, can not be defended and they are eventually defeated.
During the Scamdemic we saw the virtue signallers with their masks, vaccine passports and desire to force compliance for the common good. The vast majority were the useful idiots that the truly evil were using. So it came across as “helping” and in their mind they could defend the tyranny.
Same goes for the Net Zero and the Green movement. The great unwashed are brainwashed into believing and promoting this agenda for the common good and will go to extremes to enforce these policies on others with out boundaries.
The topic of victimization came up. Just the act of discussing being a victim of this or that actually harms the so called victim as their mind is constantly viewing every interaction in life in these terms. It does the opposite of what it was meant to be. Again, well meaning people taking the torch and creating the victim class or victimhood. These people are very dangerous as they have no conscience to know when to stop doing good. Cultural Marxism knows this and we are being conquered from within. Thus, when you see these “do-gooders” in your life, they honestly believe what they are doing is for the good of society. We need to focus on the next level up where the evil are using them for their goals. These people are easily led. We all know who they are and find it next to impossible to discuss topics rationally. I would lose the argument everytime as they are “the good” and I am “the bad”.
Found this on the Goldtent Oasis site. Long but helps if you set the play to 1.5x, if you can digest the conversation at that speed. Excellent discussion.
Columbia — what is the “Goldtent Oasis” site?
LOL, it may be dangerous to give you the site.
It would give you more stuff to post. Just kidding.
I peruse it a few times a week. Some good posts there.
But here it is. goldtentoasis.com
Thx
PS: this is what I’ve been warning about — nice that TenPenny pulled out sample sections — went into effect immediately (as i understand it) –> https://goldtadise.com/?p=634373
We used to be a part of them, or them of us, before we split into two forums. Once upon a time one big happy family. Miss those days a lot.
They seem on board with our Goldtent.
What may I ask was the parting of ways about?
OK…Long story
Back in the day ( circa 2004 to 2008 ) I hosted a yearly Goldbug gathering at our Inn. people came from all over NA
We were all posters at Gold eagle and the owner was an asshole…he kept cancelling us over petty little things
I connected with a bunch of guys and gals and we had great parties at our Inn
One Tech wizard Guy Todd ( Audept) set up a new site were we could all safely go to post our Gold Fetishes
Then he gave me the Keys and said he wanted me to run it…We called it Goldtent
We acquired a hard core Ultra Right wing ( Redneck) group …mostly older guys and gals
we were quite millitant for back in that day
It was mostly Gold but a lot of Truther stuff too.
Rambus ( Dave) showed up early on and posted charts for free
He was always gold bullish and we rode his coat tails ….he nailed every move…he was beloved
But in 2008 he saw THE top and warned us…most of us ( me too) were upset with him for daring to be bearish
He was right and we all got decimated 100% plus gains turned to shit in months.
He left the site because of the flak
Then in 2011 he contacted me by email and said we were in for another big drop
So I posted his charts and the members got really angry again
BUT I personally heeded his warning and got out near the top…everyone else crashed and burned again
I codtacted Dave and told him he is a wizard and needed to set up a pay site…It took much encouraging but he relented and Rambus Chartology was born .
Original Goldtent was a co-op sort of
Audept ran it and we all chipped in like 20 a year to pay for the server…so the members felt they owned it
Audept built Rambus Chartology using the empty “spaces” on the Goldtent server ( which he owned)…the 3 of use collaborated on it …Todd was and is the webmaster…i did the promos and editing etc and Dave is the Show
We migrated to a separate server but the Militants at Goldtent found out we were using the Goldtent server for development and went NUTZ
The did clandestine coup…setting up a new site Goldtent Oasis and when it was ready…every last one of them deserted Goldtent and migrated there ( except Boomer Winedoc and North)…and spent the next months badmouthing Todd and I …bashing us as the evil empire
To this day their Signature post is still on the sidebar telling everyone how we were assholes…have a look ?
Anyhow the head guy there recently died
…not many left but they are of course on the same page as we are . former friends but to be honest…gladly former
Meanwhile after they left I was left with a completely empty site and managed to build it back up …starting with Gold Market TA
and now we have attracted a great group …who I am very proud of…Each and every one brings something unique .
so there you go
Onword Pilgrims
Interesting story, thanks for sharing.
Sadly, former friends can become quite a nemesis.
I’m glad you stuck with it and built a very nice community 🙂
