[NEWS] protestors put up "resist" banner on crane near white house
DrenDran:
Actually, one more thing before I go to bed. A correction:
I don't think people "rejected happiness." Rather, I believe that "happiness" is just a term that refers to the "average" of all of a person's desires and how well they've been satisfied.
If your best friend just died but you're not hungry, you'd probably be rather unhappy.
If you're starving but your friends and family are all safe, you'd probably still be rather unhappy.
If you've just eaten a nice meal, your friends are all safe and sound, every other desire is satisfied, but you have an urge for a "higher purpose" that you can't satisfy then you'll still be genuinely unhappy.
I made that post before you replied, but:

I don't mean to be too rude but that kind of post just makes you seem self-centered and shallow. Like, I realize people on this forum won't agree with my extreme positions, but that's honestly how it comes off to me.

I think that no matter how much ideological mish-mashing you can do, fascist governments are pretty much always terrible because they result in the violent persecution of minorities and dissenters. Not a good recipe for a stable government, hence why Blue Meanie was hung by the heels.
