I'm not going to die an old, angry, white man because someone won the Presidency of the United States.

I'm not sorry if my conscious evolution does not conform to your present positions.

I'm sittin here, wearing UNION MADE in America clothing - From my socks & underwear to all of my coats & jackets.

Hell, I even dry myself from my showers with UNION MADE t-shirts.

Bought a UNION MADE car. Shop at UNION AFFILIATED grocery stores, buy UNION MADE alcohol, and ALL my grocery items are UNION MADE.

Over thirty years I literally fought EVERY DAY to support fellow workers and human beings.

I've stood in front of trucks, men, and cars standing for my brothers.

I've risked my life & I've been arrested, lost jobs for standing up for what I believe in.

Now you're gunna sit there behind your phony moniker because you are afraid to put your legal name on your opinions, and tell me how to think?

I want America to succeed. I want ALL of humanity to succeed.

ALL OF US HERE are now peons in the cogs of an AMAZING revolution; The Digital Revolution. Also known as The Third Industrial Revolution.

None of us know what these changes will bring or where these changes will lead us. But I'm confident.

I'm confident, excited, and hopeful.

Perhaps Donald J Trump does not represent your world view...but perhaps he actually does.

Donald J Trump represents capitalism.

...so if you are telling me you are consciously frightened, you are anxious, or your just flat-out scared...I accept that.

Why would you question me? Why would you?

...actually I don't care if you don't see things the way I do. I actually prefer it.

I've stood on a fuckin island ALL of my life. Fought.

Hell I'm so fuckin insane from fighting I've fought here on this forum with ALL of the Moderators. Just for the fuck of it. Just cause I couldn't stop fighting. I've pushed EVERY boundary here to the absolute limit. To the point where I have been banned here. A number of times...

I've been banned from EVERY other philosophically related forums on the planet. EVERY ONE - FOR LIFE.

That's where I find myself tonight.

So... you think that when you're inconsistent, and other people NOTICE, that it's somehow THEM being mean and unfair to you?

No he doesn't, he represents exactly what I told you you'd like, a closed-shop America, an end to free-trade.
...so if you are telling me you are consciously frightened, you are anxious, or your just flat-out scared...I accept that.
And your acceptance is worth what?

I've stood on a fuckin island ALL of my life.
Fought. ...
As usual you contradict yourself in the same post as you said you've stood with your brothers.

Once and that was just because, like Trump, you were a liar.

You've fought nothing here Bill and you've pushed no boundaries in Philosophy at all.
That's where I find myself tonight..
Yup, exactly where you've always been, a confused and puzzled gnu.

Couple of weeks ago Trump represented the Alt-Right and was a form of facism, and you called that out in a thread titled:
~ Be Mindful; The Philosophy of Neo-Fascism is Still Fascism ~

Now you lost the election you went back and changed the title to fit with your new-found support for Trump.
Now it's: ~ Be Mindful; The Philosophy of America ~

Why fake it so pathetically? Why are you trying to edit your own comment history in such a cack-handed fashion?


Why the lies Bill? What is the purpose of this deceptive re-writing of history?

There are no lies or inconsistencies in my postings now or in my postings then.

Keep in mind, these accusations are made by individuals who consciously lie even before they make a posting.


And actually, all of your attacks are consistent with your attitudes towards me and towards others. You consistently attack.


I have changed my inner perspective.
Consciously changed.


Consciously made a philosophical change within me.



I look back over the past year or so and I don't like the person in me that I see. The person that I had become.

I've changed. I've changed me.

Unexpectedly, I feel emotionally so much better now.



...and actually, that is what philosophy; introspection is for; To allow us to see ourselves - and to possibly change.

TRUE.
So. That year of you writing shameful stuff to disgrace yourself with. The things you are now trying to edit out of existence....
Pretty much every day you typed that you consider yourself our overlord. We regularly replied that we think you are a dumb twat.
It is obviously time for you to 180 on that subject too.

Thank you
for posting this.

Please bring ALL of these threads to our attention so that I may address them!

As you state and I agree I have posted some shameful stuff that disgraces me.


That's exactly what I am saying.


Over the last year or so I have done things & posted things that I am not proud of.

Things that I actually don't agree with.
Things that now I am able to see more clearly now that Donald J Trump has become the President of the United States.


This is exactly what I am saying. I am no longer comfortable with the deep divisions and demonetization that have become commonplace in my country.

As I have stated before, there are over 300,000,000 known firearms in my country right now.

Those guns were not purchased to combat invaders from other countries. They were purchased to kill other Americans.


Donald J Trump attended and graduated from the oldest and most prestigious business college on the planet; Wharton School of Business.


Made a tonne of money.

Developed a sterling world-wide brand in real estate and in other endeavors - The TRUMP brand.


THEN - Turned his focus into politics.

Early on developed a tag line or brand - Make America Great Again - and stuck with it.


Within an extremely short period of time he beat ALL established challengers of BOTH party's to become President of The United States.

Not only that but his vision and message to America was keener than almost every pollster, pundit, and media outlet.



He won. Donald J Trump has been doing amazing things throughout ALL of his life and yes I hope Donald Trump continues to do amazing things for America and for greater mankind in general.


Again, PLEASE find ANY thread that I have started or participated in to the forefront - just as you did here - so that I may articulate and define my continually evolving position not only towards President Donald J Trump but to any other individual or topic that I may have been disrespectful to.


Thank you
again.

I am STILL the leader here.

To consciously change one's perspective is not a weakness.

What good is a mind if you cannot change it?




What seemingly continues to still separate me from most of the active members here is that I am open. I define the position that I am in at the moment. And I defend that position.

The fact that I have moved so dramatically AND I feel good about it must show my growth.


All of you seem consistent in attacking me no matter what my philosophical perspective.


Perhaps you should look at yourself in this respect. Granted, it would be hard to see yourself while you are festooned behind the characterization of a cartoon character as a depiction of yourself while on a serious philosophical forum site right off the rip. So, there's that...

Explain why you tried to edit your old posts.
If you have the humility to re-evaluate them honestly, why didn't you do so with honesty instead of deception?

Obviously you don't actually have humility. You keep announcing yourself as the grand wizard of all philosophy because that narcissistic impulse demands it of you especially when you find yourself humiliated.

It is true. The universe always provides Bill with a FlashDangerReachAround to reward his self destructive antics.
