Nicer Version of Luther Rant

The Flat Earth People and Anti-Vaxx people are no different than the rise of Social Liberalism during the Vietnam War and the popularity of Socialism/Communism after the fall of the Soviet Union

Once people stop seeing the threatening nature of something, then they become proponents of it because they start believing that said awful thing is better than their current situation just because there is no readily tangible evidence that "communism" "anti-vaxx" "hippie" whatever nonsense is bad, so when they have a firm belief caused by some palpable part of reality that convinces them that "capitalism" "vaccines" and "American values" are bad.  

E.g. people have never known how bad it is to not have vaccines, so when this classic antagonist in the vaccines vs no-vaccines argument does not exist, vaccines become the antagonist, they become "the weird shit stuck in my arm for no reason because I've never heard of Polio."  

This is usually caused by a flaw in some sort of social policy that is an extension of the concept rather than the actual concept itself, but people convolute the two together, because they only have knowledge of one side of the argument, dislike that side, then chose to antagonize it.  

 E.g. the Vietnam war means that America is bad, the owies and dead viruses of Vaccines mean that vaccines are bad. I'm poor so capitalism is bad.  

These may seem true, but they only seem true because these people have never experienced the much, much worse alternatives such as practical communism (despotism, starvation, poverty, oppression, and slavery) or endless preventable diseases like polio, syphilis, and the clap.  

The Hippies saw drug addiction, unemployment, and rampant venereal disease as less of a threat than the U.S. government, despite this truly god awful logic, they still embraced it and loved that thought that their life was "better".  

People stop seeing Communism as a threat, then they start to support Communism, because when communism doesn't exist, the people see the problems caused by capitlaism as the "problem" and think there are no problems caused by communism because all off the communists are dead and therefore don't make or have problems.  

People stop seeing Polio as a threat and start to support Polio, or antagonize vaccines. They see vaccines as a problem, an owie for no reason, because the threat of polio is far less real to people who have never experienced it.  

I don't really understand the concept of a flat earth, but I'm sure that if anyone actually belives it, the flat earth concept seems far less threatening due to its inexistence, and the concept of a spherical earth became threatening due to its dominance, in the same respect as capitalism and communism following the fall of the Soviet Union.  

The same thing happened with Luther, people became upset with the church, and they saw the problems with the Church as far more problematic than the problem of a godless society, so they antagonized the church and brought about a godless society, largely becaues they had never experienced a godless society to know that it is much worse than a corrupt Church.  


 Now you have things like conventions of people in fur suits who shit in diapers and litter them in the parking lot or men who love to have unprotected gay sex to spread lots of AIDS because that's their fetish. This is what Luther created rather than perpetuate a god-fearing people who act good and decent because they know they'll be tortured if they are heretics. Luther placed man above God, at least in the West, and that is easily the cornerstone of the social degeneracy that has marked our culture, and every movement of "progressive" degeneracy like the hippies the labor unions, the communists, all the way back to the Revolution of 1688.  

Luther was basically Jim Jones using his trickery to get the world to kill themselves, not that I don't respect Jim Jones, but people don't usually understand that the tolerance, acceptance, and glorification of rampant vice in our society can be sourced to the spark of Martin Luther, teaching people that it's maybe sort of acceptable to question God, and that spark slowly turned into the fire of vice and degeneracy we have today.  

I'm not a moralist, and I love immoral things, but next time you're doing some real immoral shit, thank Martin Luther for making that totally because thanks to him condemning the church, the king of England could condemn the church, then America could condemn the king of England, then the Hippies could condemn America, then the next-level drug abuse of the 80s and 90s could condemn the Hippies, then the people today can condemn vaccines, round planets, and functional economic systems.
