The subject is Answering the Pharisees, and what got me thinking about this is the way in which the trolls and shills and alt retards and philosemites are constantly trying to trap people verbally. They’re constantly trying to get you to commit yourself to a position in public that they can then use to discredit you. So you know, with me, they will bring up questions from articles that I’ve written 15 years ago that they think will be that will be damaging to you. There is this constant attempt to get you to disqualify yourself, to get you to discredit yourself, and what it occurred to me is that this is exactly what the Pharisees did to Jesus Christ.
This is exactly what the people who are doing this, whether they’re SJWs, whoever they are, they are functionally Pharisees. They are little satans, by which I mean they are little accusers, and so when you look at what they’re doing, they are attempting to get you to admit that you’re guilty and then they will proceed to prosecute you. And so how did Jesus handle that? I think that as in pretty much everything else, we’re very very well-advised to follow Jesus’s example whether you’re a Christian or not. What did he do, what did he say, when they came to him, when they said people are saying that you are the Son of God, that you are the King of the Jews?
What did he say? The thing that was awesome is that he answered both his enemies and his friends in the same way. He said ‘who do you say I am’ because he knew what they were doing. He knew exactly what they were up to, and so this was really meaningful for me.
There’s a question, wasn’t he silent at first? No, that was later that was when he was actually on trial. So when you when you turn it around on them what you’re doing is you’re making it clear to them that not only do you know what they’re doing, you’re letting them know that you’re not going to play along. That’s why it’s always a mistake to answer the question honestly. It’s a mistake to answer the question in a Socratic manner, and you know it’s a mistake to answer the question in the Petersonian manner.
