I am a good thought haver and I signal this by telling everyone bad thought havers should be executed

yeah.. ..there's something so fundamentally fucked about conceptual suppression, and I don't think it makes the real issue - actions that harm others - better.

Like, I keep thinking of how deeply Christianity and Catholicism want to get in your pants and tell you what and when you should and shouldn't be thinking this or that. ..and it ends up making a system that helps to obfuscate and provides cover for that very thing.

Now, in tits following example, I absolutely am not suggesting that being gay is bad. But, in religions (Christianity being the prime example) where it is considered bad, it's always the loudest, most virtuos signallers that end up being found to be involved in closeted gay relationships.

I guess, in some ways, there's just no better cover than to signal that you're a good thought haver, and that bad thought havers should be executed.
