Dianora (Diane Bruce)"The American Federalists were being quite realistic when they argued that democracy is inconsistent with society based on inequalities of wealth since, in order to protect wealth, one needs an apparatus of coercion to keep down the very "mob" that democracy would empower." - David Graeber <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Philosophy</a>

Mx. Luna CorbdenThis is a long way to say: If you don't understand the effects of cognitive dissonance, and don't unpack your own internal contradictions, you can be more easily manipulated into behaviors and beliefs you would not *consciously* agree with.If you like free agency and are a big fan of free will, this is the sort of thing you need to work on.<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#philosophy</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/atheism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#atheism</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/theism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#theism</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exvangelical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exvangelical</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exvie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exvie</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmormon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exmormon</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exmo</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ReligiousTrauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReligiousTrauma</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AbuseCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AbuseCulture</a>

Mx. Luna CorbdenTheological concepts like "The Problem of Evil" aren't just atheist gotchas. The contradictions within certain theologies can exist unawares within the minds of believers, causing dissonance that comes out in ways that perpetuate and allow harms to continue.For instance, even if a Christian believer has not consciously considered the Problem of Evil, they will still feel this contradiction whenever it is encountered:1. God is good. 2. God is omnipotent. 3. God allows evil to exist.They will have many sideways methods of resolving this discomfort, which will vary from person to person and from situation to situation.They may, for instance, lean on Just World views (the feeling that the world is automatically fair and so if someone is disadvantaged they must have done something to deserve it) when it comes to LGBTQ issues. God is good, and omnipotent, so if a queer person is suffering, it isn't because their church community has stigmatized them or because church doctrines about God's will are wrong (or further, that God might not exist or might not be good), no it must be proof that being queer is sinful and they deserve their suffering. This same formula applies in many other areas, including towards abuse victims.The contradictions within many popular forms of theism are not harmless. They get resolved, usually unconsciously, by organizations and individuals. When they are resolved without mindful consideration of the consequences, people get hurt.For abusers and powertrippers? This is by design, to their benefit, and more likely to be conscious.<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AbuseCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AbuseCulture</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ReligiousTrauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReligiousTrauma</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exmo</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmormon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exmormon</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exvie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exvie</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exvangelical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exvangelical</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/theism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#theism</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/atheism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#atheism</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#philosophy</a>

Matthew Sheffield🧵 A brief thread on right-wing atheism and one of the origins of its hatred of trans people.Pure realist ontologies always collapse into relativism just like religious fundamentalism does. That's because both naive realists and fundamentalists confidently assert the existence of objective truth while also admitting that humans are finite and incapable of reaching it. It's a fundamental contradiction that makes their truth claims collapse.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#philosophy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/lgbtqia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lgbtqia</a>

Carrie ShanafeltJust a reminder that I am the philosophy reviews editor for the Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies. I get a lot of requests from authors to find reviewers for their books, so if you would like to be on my radar, please let me know. Even better, if you work in philosophy or religious studies and you would like to propose a review essay about a recent book in 18th-c phil to me, please get in touch! I do make efforts to ensure our reviewers get physical books whenever possible.<a href="https://c18.masto.host/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Philosophy</a>
