Reply #9: Right [View All]

"super-wealthy crooks and their religiously insane supporters" do not respond to Love. They are so full
of greed and corruption and hate and fear that they do not recognise any love other than self-love. They are lost souls, devoid of what we call a conscience. Whatever benefits them is right--they have no higher moral standards. Lost.

You have to stop these people short. That's the only thing they understand. Call it "tough love" but that's the kind of love you give to limited negative entities. Getting to the point of having compassion for them requires a level of saintliness that most ripped off and abused people find unrealistic.

Personally I try to operate towards these people out of neither love nor hate. This might be hard for some to understand. I see it more like fighting a cancer that has grown in our body politic. Worth fighting, necessary to fight--but not necessary to EITHER demonize or forgive it, in specific people. Just need to apply the necessary controls. Great if any of these unfortunates have epiphanies and come around. But that's not really the goal. The goal is more big picture--ie. slowing the disease mechanisms so that healthier forces can regain control and the level of hurt these groups inflict on others can be mitigated.
