Great article. Reminded me of an argument explaining the "he/I dindu nuffin" response. Basically, they can't even empathize with themselves except in the very moment. The "I" of 5 minutes ago that stabbed someone isn't the same "I" of right now, hence they actually believe "I dindu nuffin" even if covered in blood, because that nigger of 5 minutes did the stabbing. Not the nigger of right-now.

Kind of like if someone accused you of breaking something when you were 5 years old, you'd likely defend yourself by saying that was so long ago it was effectively a different person, and you shouldn't be held responsible for that other person that you were so many decades ago.

This lack of empathy for not-current self also helps to explain a high time preference. There are studies showing that low time preference is basically having empathy with your future self, but if you have no empathy and/or no sense of any self but that of the present self, then it never makes any sense to worry about the future. Because they have no sense of that future person and/or no empathy with that future person.

TND will be a beautiful spectacle to behold

But even more beautiful will be the screams and lamentations of White Christians: “NOOOOO STOP KILLING NIGGERS!!!! IF WE BRING THEM TO CHRIST THEYLL CHANGE AND QUIT BEING VIOLENT RETARDS NOOOOO!!!!!”

Like music to my ears

The Christian idea that everyone has a soul has to be defeated before any of this changes.

Everyone has a soul. Everyone should be judged as one would judge themselves.

This principle doesn't bode well for the subhuman.

Act accordingly.

> The Christian Theodicy is that Brown’s free will and poor choices and temptation to evil are the cause of his horrendous crime. That he was a human moral agent and his individual choices caused this horrible crime. That all people, Brown included, are ensouled beings made in God’s image, vested with a godlike reason and free will which may choose good or evil.

I'm not even Christian, and I don't actually disagree with this.

They all had the same opportunity to behave within these bounds.

They failed.

Death (or godhood) awaits those who cannot control themselves. Though the second is... rather less likely.

> It is in fact very likely that Welfare, SNAP, Catch and Release law enforcement, and the decay of ghetto culture is UNDOING the eugenic effects of slavery and Jim Crow, and the average African American is getting DUMBER each generation as we encourage men like Brown and Floyd to act out, get attention, commit sexual assaults, and breed.

Ah, yes! This is a thesis I had recently come to, that we had so warped the environment that following the handouts actually *was* survival of the fittest.
