And thus I think we can better understand how a group of probably well-meaning activists and film-makers could create such crazy, totalitarian vision. In many ways, the film reminds me of Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Basterds,” which is a fantasy film about a group of jewish soldiers killing Hitler and his high command. Viewers are not offended by the bloodshed and brutality, because the fantasy is so delicious. The same must have been true for those who created and screened the 10:10 video prior to its release.
Rather than an isolated aberration, then, the 10:10 video can be seen as the end result of years of ad hominem attacks meant to marginalize skeptics and make it unnecessary to actually address their concerns about the science.
Hate crime. Make a complaint to the Human Rights Commission.
Rule #1 – Never blow up children to gain support for your ideas.
Rule #2 – refer to rule # 1
And the burning question is: would PETA be ‘outraged’ if the vid. blew up cattle?
There is a vast difference between condoning this and understanding the evil “echo chamber” this mentality originated from and thrives in. Unfortunately all too many confuse the two.
Those who think they understand….have not been properly briefed……
In adversary situations, it is common to be indifferent to the fate of the opposing side and to denigrate their personal hygene, intelligence, value system etc. This is human nature and signifigantly contributes to the commitment of both sides.
This is why the books “The Enemy is Human” and “All Quiet on the Western Front” were banned by ALL belligerents in both World Wars.
While this may enhance the aggressiveness of your forces, it also has a fatal flaw….underestimating the enemy….
Giving no quarter as a policy…taking no prisoners…..results in dangerous diehards.
A long time past, even the Mujahideen grasped this concept and began taking Russians prisoner and treating them well…and making the practice known. The immediate results were….
1) reduced casualties by not having to deal with suicidal diehards.
2) swift capitulation of besieged Russians.
The throat cutters embraced this enthusiastically and seemed to compete. It was bizarre to see fighters walking so prisoners could ride…a parched fighter giving a prisoner the last of his water bottle.
Underestimating the intelligence of Afgans can be fatal.
It was this policy which IMHO which reduced the Red Army’s combat effectiveness more than savage atrocities.
The Red Army’s response was to commit more atrocities to inspire a backlash.
Within months of the Mujahideen’s new policy…the Russians simply got into their vehicles and drove home, largely unmolested.
Except the Basterds were killing Nazis, not their children.

This post and the previous post are joined at the hip.If the science is wrong,ignor the science and prosecute anyway.Like the communists did to the factory owners,make up stuff against them,then eliminate them.

It is also the end result of years of abortion-for-Gaia, human overpopulation hysteria.

Like I said: There’s a massive disconnect between these seriously deranged activists and the rest of the world. They live in a hermetically sealed echo chamber because they only talk to and hang around with each other.
This train’s been hurtling down the track for a long time and it looks like it’s finally jumped the track.
Spelt “Inglourious Basterds”.
Yes, it has jumped the track and it is heading straight for us. We do know enough to both hurl the bomb and get out of the way. Time we did both. Cap and Trade is STILL on Congress’ agenda no matter how the midterms turn out. And I often see and hear our own federal government talk of ‘green initiatives’. Enough of this fantasy already. It is dangerous and expensive.
Someone needs to burp and change the diapers of the globull warming bastards along with their accomplices to murder in the MSM. Yea just think of the people that cannot pay their gas or power bills, or maybe freezing to death because of such, this SCAM has cost the western world trillions; and that is what the architecs had intended, so sad.
The speed with which these warmies are coming unraveled is really quite heartening. They can’t seem to bring themselves to do the smart thing, that being cut Frannie and the 10:10 gang loose, denounce the video and the idiots who made it, and move on as quickly as possible.
Probably because their other warmie friends will frag them if they do.
I love the internet. I really do. Truth comes out, and when it does, -everybody- knows.
Yes but, even some of us still found ‘Inglorious Basterds’ violent, sick and lacking a valid point.
Huh – kind of like the 10:10 video.
Again, while I agree with you that eliminationist rhetoric like the 10/10 videos is wrong, it does bear pointing out that SDA has a history of posting deathwishes of its own.
Care to join me in condemning all of it?
