Is this another example of your ‘factual’ rebuttals. Looks like more insults to deflect from your inability to support your position.

gotcha. I thought you were saying basement dwelling losers like black shirts and I couldn't figure out why that would be. The funny thing about the old black shirt fascist's overly dramatic, straight out of central casting, on the nose, cliched evil is that it trained everyone that that is was authoritarianism looks like. So when people see an older woman in a pastel pants suit sharing the stage with Jay Z or geeky computer nerd in a sweater and glasses sitting down with Charlie Rose they think 'that couldn't be a fascist, that's not what fascists looks like'.

Most people don't realize that the fascists won the war and they now run the fucking world.

No, I err more on the other side. However, I think most humans suffer from a combination of inferiority and superiority.

You just complain too much about people feeling superior (to you). It seems a vital experience for you.

Nice troll. Your post is a set up to force me to deny, thus exposing me to accusations of lying about my own tested abilities. Lol
I have seen little in reality to justify claiming superiority over others, but repeated test scores telling you very few are as bright as you are, are too enticing to be ignored 100%. I, like others on here, prefer to leave it to speculation. Think what you want.

Sure, people just think what they want regardless of what you show. They just shouldn't be judgemental so much because the only possible objective reality is that we're all the same anyway. :lol:

Don’t really get your point.
I don’t believe in objective reality. I don’t even know what it is suppose to mean.
What I show is interpreted differently by different people. That has nothing to do with me.
It also assumes I am one thing, when I am a combination of things.

Like it's a matter of belief. So what do you believe in? The lack of objective reality? :lol:

It's even better because you don't have to face or cope with anything (including yourself) then. However, if there's no objective reality, what makes everyone frustrated? Their own reality? :lol:

Pretty much. The things we use to try to prove objective reality aren’t really that important to our quality of life, so it is difficult to see the point of arguing it. The best that can happen is we individually, therefore subjectively, accept it for it to serve any purpose.
So what do you believe in? The lack of objective reality? :lol:

I believe in living our short time as contentedly as possible and providing a future for others to do the same.

Lots of things cause our frustrations. Most of which are only created by our own thinking and expectations. You can’t be frustrated if you choose to accept whatever happens. So basically we are frustrated by desiring control or believing we should have what we don’t have. An objective reality would have no reason to frustrate us anyway.
Being alive is a pretty good reason to not be unduly frustrated.

Maybe that's what Hitler also had believed until he met objective reality in its final true form. Until then he may have believed it's just a matter of will and endurance. :lol:

He didn’t meet objective reality. He met an opposing force. If he had won, you would have different beliefs. Your ‘objective reality’ is mainly the result of arbitrary historic events.

FIFY. Consider the Germans change in thinking (reality) after WWII? Their objective reality was altered by a historic event. It wasn’t philosophy or better understanding of objective reality through interaction and knowledge. They were told to believe differently, so they did. That is pretty much what all of us do.

Or they just accepted objective reality and accustomed to it. That is pretty much what all of us do, which is frustrating.

I get your gist, but I think the frustration comes from trying to adjust to others reality rather than an objective reality. If it was objectively true, then it shouldn’t cause frustration imo. It should just be accepted.

Maybe it shouldn't, but it usually does. Truth/objective reality can be really uncomfortable sometimes. Or many times.

Or, maybe you are confusing objective reality with subjective reality?
The earth being round probably doesn’t frustrate you. It is objectively true (perhaps :) ), so you accept it.
If you get fired for drinking that is subjective reality, because not everyone would fire you for it.
It would be interesting to think of frustrations and see how often my idea holds true.

Subjective reality? :lol:

If you get fired for drinking that is objective. Whether you should get fired is subjective. Opinions do not change facts. That is why Trump is fake news. His lies don't become truths because you believe it One Degree.
