MODERATORS
Paraphrasing, but:
- "Truth does not exist, only opinions, and they're all equally valid."
- "Morality is fundamentally relative." (It follows from the former, I guess.)
- "Every tribe/culture has always been/remains equally brutal, bloodthirsty, hedonistic, nihilistic, imperialistic and selfishly amoral."
- "There are no differences between the sexes besides the physical ones." (And even that one is denied at times, for instance when it comes to transexual athletes)
- "Love, making a lifetime commitment to your partner and raising kids are not (nor should they be) of major relevance in people's lives." (And if you even mention it you're a control freak, limiting women's freedom and whatnot)
- "You gotta take care of yourself first and foremost!" (the Divine and the collective come second and third, if they're thought of at all, to the self, and only the self is truly worthy of attention)
