“Since the evil, deep down, feel themselves to be faultless, it is inevitable that when they are in conflict with the world they will invariably perceive the conflict as the world’s fault. They project their own evil onto the world. They never think of themselves as evil; on the other hand, they consequently see much evil in others. The people I label as evil are chronic scapegoaters. The evil attack others instead of facing their own failures.”

Now that nails the Liberal/Progressive.
I’m a fan of quotes of the day here on the platform.
They’re short, simple observations by others who study, and reveal truths.
Involve thinking & reflecting.
Many, many gems to look at, shine a light on, and appreciate for their value.
This one here is a keeper, too.
Florida public schools are building their own private police forces in the wake of the Parkland school shooting. However, it’s now obvious that these will be misused. A concerned parent sent the school superintendent an email notifying them that the new policy of allowing transgender students to use the opposite sex bathroom was not appreciated and that if something happened, the superintendent would be held personally liable. The superintendent decided that was a physical threat and deployed two officers to the home to intimidate the family. It’s worth noting that these private police have zero jurisdiction off of the campus, yet they were used anyway. It’s also worth noting that the child was only seven and not yet even in school. https://therevolutionaryact.com/school-police-door-transgender-critic/

If the know-how and means exist to transmit genetic viruses that supposedly create beneficial crop mutations, the opposite will also be possible. DARPA will be able to use insects to deliver gene editing viruses that destroy crops, ruin harvests and adversely affect the wider ecosystem, RT accurately pointed out. This means that those who fear this program are not far off at all for doing so.
Another project receiving DARPA funding involves releasing genetically modified mosquitoes in the Florida Keys area to transmit a sterilizing genetic virus to their malaria-carrying counterparts. Apart from the unknown effects upon the wider ecosystem, the knowledge gleaned from such research could one day make it possible for a state, a non-state actor, or a non-state actor working on behalf of a state to accidentally or deliberately use insect vectors to unleash a variety of biological agents and genetic viruses upon an unsuspecting population.
Russian president Vladimir Putin expressed his concerns over the potential for a human killing genetically engineered virus just last year. Whilst chairing a meeting of Russia’s Human Rights Council, Putin stated: “… do you know that biological material is being collected all over the country, from different ethnic groups and people living in different geographical regions of the Russian Federation? The question is – why is it being done? It’s being done purposefully and professionally. We are a kind of object of great interest.”
“Since the evil, deep down, feel themselves to be faultless, it is inevitable that when they are in conflict with the world they will invariably perceive the conflict as Russia’s fault. They project their own evil onto Russians. They never think of themselves as evil; on the other hand, they consequently see much evil in others. The people I label as evil are chronic scapegoaters. The evil call Donald Trump ‘Hitler’ instead of facing their own failures.”
