Just Desserts

 

The Chinese and Russians have a right to kill us all. It’s socially justifiable and morally good for the Chinese and Russian people to invade, conquer, enslave, and destroy virtually everyone in America and the West. This is because almost everybody in America, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, and elsewhere supports the evil dictators of China and Russia. And these are the loathsome annihilators of the lives, liberties, and properties of the relatively-innocent people of China and Russia.

Westerners perpetrate three horrific evils: 1) They morally sanction and politically empower the monstrous “leaders” of China and Russia via diplomatic recognition of their slave states. But these political entities have no right to exist. These hideous governments inflict almost limitless pain and suffering upon the morally-gray and semi-innocent citizens of China and Russia. 2) Americans and Westerners also trade with these dictatorial governments, thus massively enriching the enslavers and devastators of the partially-victimized peoples of China and Russia. 3) Westerners even transfer, and allow to be stolen, vast amounts of technology, intellectual property, and military know-how to the dreadful autocrats, cronies, and supporters of these slave states.

These three terrible crimes, and acts of immorality, give the long-suffering victims of the governments of China and Russia the right to hate Americans, the British, the French, and the rest. They give them the right to wish the Westerners dead; and to actively work toward that end. If the dictators of China and Russia – along with their military backers – seek to conquer and enslave the depraved and criminal peoples of America, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, and others, then the tyrannized and miserable people of China and Russia mostly have the right to seek justice and revenge – ironically enough – by aiding and abetting their dictators in this end. Pretty much everyone in America and the West deserves to be conquered and enslaved. For their wanton evil, virtually everybody in the West deserves to die.

Common Sense Realism

 

“Common sense realism” is the important, but mostly forgotten, philosophy of the Scottish thinkers Thomas Reid (1710-96), James Beattie (1735-1803), and Dugald Steward (1753-1828), among others. It stands in striking contrast to the “irrational nonsense” philosophy of Parmenides, Protagoras, Zeno of Elea, Gorgias, Pyrrho, and Sextus Empiricus; as well as Berkeley, Hume, Kant, and Hegel. For the greatness and happiness of the Individual, as well as for the success and harmony of society, it’s crucial that the rational and sensible philosophy of Reid and company triumph.

Common sense realism is essentially a metaphysics and epistemology which is based upon common and universal beliefs which no-one fundamentally or truly doubts, or can reasonably or plausibly deny. This includes such claims as: X is X; X=X; if X, then X; 1+1=2; if A=B and B=C then A=C; existence exists; reality is real; Nature is natural; the universe is fundamentally material; truth and facts exist; the truth is true; facts are factually accurate; things exist; you exist; you’re conscious; you have free will; things change over time; you change over time; living rationally is rational; obeying science is scientific; life is better than death; health is better than disease or injury; pleasure is better than pain; happiness is better than misery; food is better than poison; Michelangelo paints better than an elephant; and The Beatles play better music than a 3-year-old banging on a pot. All such claims are clearly and obviously factually accurate and true to reality, just as all such denials of them lack foundation, soundness, coherence, plausibility, sensibility, logic, reasonableness, objectivity, and tangible evidence.

None of the claims above are dogmatic. None are based upon a leap of faith. None involve putting on blinders and not seeing all the difficulties, complexities, subtleties, and nuances of actual reality and life.    

The philosophy of Common Sense Realism is based upon, and derived from, simple, direct, basic reason, or unambiguous, fundamental logic, or beginning, clear, foundational science. CSR is founded upon self-evidence or self-proving propositions, facts, and truths; upon simple, clear, clean, direct, obvious, undoubtable axioms. To deny or doubt axioms requires immense imagination, delusion, irrationality, and faith. To ask for evidence or proof of axioms is illegitimate, improper, unreasonable, and absurd. The asker isn’t fit for philosophical inquiry or speculation. It isn't necessary -- or even possible -- to stand outside the universe in order to demonstrate something inside it.

If some philosophical claim “flies in the face of all reason” or “denies all common sense” or seems foolish, dumb, irrational, nonsensical, bizarre, or absurd, it must not be accepted as true, or even decently possible, without considerably powerful and persuasive reason, logic, facts, and evidence to back it up. These rarely or never exist.

If some philosophical claim, proposition, or premise asks you to abandon all reason, or suspend all normal judgment, or be intellectually dishonest, evasive, cowardly, and corrupt, then almost certainly this statement is untrue, and even unworthy of consideration. And certainly no claim should be accepted – or even much entertained – based upon mere authority, revelation, or faith – which are all about the same.

Fundamental and foundational truths exist. Initial, known, irrefragable, facts exist. Just as you “can’t prove a negative” so you “can’t prove an axiom”. Nor can you truly doubt one. It’s illegitimate, improper, unphilosophical, unscientific, irrational, and illogical to try. Self-evident truths and axioms are based upon overwhelming and ubiquitous external and internal evidence.

Kumbaya

Why the great battle between East and West? Why the current great Cold War of China, Russia, Pakistan, Iran, and North Korea versus America, Britain, France, Germany, and Japan? The ideas and beliefs on both sides are essentially the same. Virtually everyone in all ten nations believes in the false and evil ideals of monotheism, altruism, and welfare statism. Virtually everyone agrees that reality isn't all that real; rationality isn't all that rational; people exist to serve others, such as god or the nation; and freedom needs to be carefully controlled and restricted by gov't. So what's all the fighting about? Both sides consist of essentially nothing but dolts and dirtbags who are in sweet accord on every important idea and issue. So let all the fatuous, depraved, absurd, and disgusting monkeys on Earth unite as One!

Kumbaya, ya fuckin' baboons!
