Moral Panic

Hym “Moral Panic and Controlled Opposition are both... Terms... and they both mean things.”

Dr. JeepJorp “BuT wHaT dO tHeY mEaN!?”

Hym “GET OUT OF HERE DR. JEEPJORP! NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU!”

Dr . JeepJorp *whimpers and hobbles away*

Hym “Jesus... Where was I? Oh! Controlled opposition. That’s why the Overton window exists. That’s why we’re kept in the feedback loop. You don’t care. You get your little dick sucked? Or your fat meaty cock gobbled? You manage to get some of your life subsidized? Are you not being crimed? Then you’re fine. Quit complaining about your life. I had to work hard to get where I am! Unless I lied. Then I just lied with every waking breath and everyone around me just went along with it. People don’t even know the difference! They can’t even think! They just accept the propositions. No matter how absurd.”

Morale

Something people don't really need boosted. Getting people's hopes up is fucking with their heads. Every place in the world being more like Vegas or Disney World wouldn't be a long term morale boost, it would be bullshit. In reality, there's already plenty to be happy about in day to day life without somebody trying to boost people's morale or fuck with their heads.
Morale is something some people toy with, and call it boosting, when really people don't need that kind of thing to get by.

Weaponized Morality

Weaponized Morality is a strategic use of moral righteousness or ethical narratives to gain power, silence opposition, or control social and political outcomes.

Example:
A university disinvites a speaker after student groups accuse them of being “harmful to marginalized communities”—not because of any direct harm, but because allowing them to speak would violate the campus’s moral stance on inclusion.

Example:
A corporation publicly supports a social justice movement during a media storm—not out of genuine commitment, but to avoid backlash and boost brand image—while continuing exploitative practices behind the scenes.

Historical context:
Weaponized morality emerged as a new form of strategic power in modern civilization, where traditional dominance through force has been replaced by dominance through ethical narratives. As historical systems of conquest and colonization (often led by Western powers) came under moral scrutiny, marginalized groups adapted by leveraging victimhood, justice, and moral authority to influence public opinion, institutions, and policy. In this new moral economy, narrative, guilt, and righteousness became powerful tools—used not only for justice but sometimes as instruments of control, signaling a shift in how power evolves in a post-colonial, media-driven world.
Political activists used weaponized morality to frame any opposition as immoral, making debate nearly impossible.

Masters of the moral landscape

"It's a metaphor for my moral presuppositions being correct"
Hym "THAT'S WHAT YOUR RELIGION IS TRYING TO DO THOUGH, ISN'T IT!? Become the masters of the moral landscape. You're LITERALLY doing the thing you accuse the atheist of doing. The entire purpose of religion is that. Eating the forbidden fruit if that's how you're going interpret it."

Moral Decay

The controversy surrounding OnlyFans has sparked debates about its role in contributing to societal perceptions of moral decay.

Unearned moral virtue

Who says you earned yours? Plenty of people knowingly engage in business with and trade with others who have bad reputations. Look at Mel Gibson, or Harvey Weinstein, George Soros, Alex Jones, YOU, Andrew Tate, I mean... The list goes on and on. A bad reputation is not a barrier to cooperation. You're even acknowledge that you have a degree of notoriety. So your reputation isn't good and if your reputation doesn't coincide with who you actually are than it's not a 'reputation' it's a 'facade.'

Hym "The retard is not the fiancé of the whore. Therefore, the retard coveted the fiancés whore-wife. Elon Musk coveted Johnny Depp's wife and you are perfectly willing to laud and cooperate with him. I haven't directly killed anyone yet but in your interpretation of 'speak softly but carry a large stick' you afford yourself the right to use violence. What I took I was allowed to take by people who where perfectly aware of the fact that I was taking it and was in exchange for my tolerance and I paid back anything else I've even taken with interest. All debts paid. And you are a literal charlatan who doesn't believe in an ontologically real God but rather a perennialist euphemism. Every time you arbitrate sin you take God's name in vain.
I also don't require myself to BE good. I am as all others are. Duplicitous. That's an imposition being made by you. You require me to be good. Because, as you said in your debate with Sam Harris, you either have to embody the spirit of christ (by becoming God unto Pharoah) OR you need subordinate yourself to dogma (Which is something you just made up and I require neither of those things). And what I've done demonstrate that not only are you not embodying Christ but your aren't even subordinate to your own perennialist dogma. And I did it publicly and now you're embarrassed. Frantically trying to do damage control to prevent yourself from being put in your proper place. Your problem is that you've largely over-represented the degree to which your virtue has been earned. I've called that into question and now I'm guilty of denying your 'self-evidently earned virtue' and 'damaging your reputation.' So, NOW you're using this to justify taking from me the only thing to which I have a claim (the contents of my own mind) and you're doing it out of spite. And I know what you do is not very difficult because you read a speech that I wrote for $100,000. I don't need unearned moral virtue. My righteousness is demonstrable. And I still HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN MY REFUND!"
