Tropical Soulvangelical wants to talk about "fatalism" again. This is a behavior that elements of the larger culture -outside- tropical soul calls bleeding heartedness. TSV sees it increasing but for all the wrong reasons in the mid-2020s (but TSV is led to believe will decrease in the early 2030s or so as -trump- goes away and the practice becomes less fashionable). Fatalism TSV sees as thriving in credibility or support when you cannot immediately disprove the fatalism rationally, but now he sees it breaking down. He references the YouTube channel Hit Pause, which is a channel he keeps close at hand, because it addresses instances of misinformation TSV had to research on his own in the late 2010s against the vagaries of big tech and Ed Snowden and The Power Of Positive Thinking with the use of the book author web site logicallyfallacious.com. As of me the Happy Bachelor writing this, TSV hasn't checked again whether that physical site is still there, but he finds that info on the logical fallacies outlined in the site is readily available elsewhere. In a sense, TSV was ahead of his time in 2018 as he was effectively disproving the credibility of big tech and Ed Snowden and The Power Of Positive Thinking, because many things he outlined found themselves in Hit Pause's videos. The one topic in Hit Pause TSV deems relevant to the practice of fatalism is something called Emotional Language, and TSV saw that being replete in at least a couple areas on YouTube, the home base for Hit Pause. Firstly was when TSV tuned into a video making it clear that -trump- does not have the ability to "cancel" a pardon made by Biden or a previous President. The video turned to the subject of -trump's- pardons, and TSV saw fatalism just about running amok. He saw the claim that -only elections- can bring a sense of justice, and while he thinks elections are a pretty good mechanism for things, and of course are what democracy is generally about, the presumption is that the video didn't have to prove their "only elections" point as much as you as the viewer had to -disprove- that point, which TSV did, but that the actual act of disproof itself is a form of personal denial. They didn't actually -use- the word denial but TSV's sure they would have certainly done so, and it would very reasonably fall under the Hit Pause rubric of Emotional Language. One of TSV's takeaways from logicallyfallacious.com back in 2018 is that logical fallacies become the vehicle of choice when their user doesn't believe they can make a substantive reasoned argument in favor of their point. So with that in mind, TSV wonders, what was that video so afraid of that it had to resort to the Emotional Language of fatalism? This is where TSV tunes into his alternative point regarding the -trump pardons-, particularly those of the 1/6 rioters. The presumption in the video is that -only elections- can deliver a sense of karma to the personally corrupt, but God has already cast His Vote when reporting showed 10 of the rioters back in court again on separate and unrelated felony charges that they got convicted on, and which leads TSV to believe that roughly half of the rioters found themselves in a similar situation unreported. It's clear to TSV that when the 1/6 rioters accepted -trump's pardon- they were effectively accepting the guarantee of further jail time that -trump- can't and won't pardon them for, so, no, they did -not- walk as is the ultimate intention of pardons. It should have been about admission of guilt as per the 1910 court precedent but instead it's culturally evolved into a form of personally corrupt revenge, read, "revenge travel", against those of one's critics who walk in the divine path towards principle. That's why TSV sees people being upset by the -trump pardons- much more he observes they should be. TSV asks the fatalists if they want advice from him, and course they're going to say no, but the more fatalistic they get about all issues -trump-, the more it helps -trump- politically, and in the age of the Epstein Files TSV sees it as the one thing that keeps -trump- physically alive, and that's his perverted satisfaction that he's getting under his critics' skins. It's his "infusion" that you see his hands being bruised with. Not so with the more apparently more immune TSV as you've read about thus far. The other fatalism TSV immediately outlines was the video title You're Not Worried Enough About Sea Level Rise. In terms of essential emotionality, therapists have long made the case that getting worried about something does not psychokinetically cause the thing you're worried about to magically go away, but TSV asks people not to misunderstand. TSV isn't casting aspersions on the topic of sea level rise per se, but he questions the use of Emotional Language because, again, if they believed they had a strong enough case that by itself was sufficient, they would not have resorted to the use of Emotional Language. Again, what were they afraid of from their audience? TSV wonders if they were afraid of being ignored or the issue of sea level rise being ignored if they didn't use Emotional Language, but the results were the opposite of what they wanted to achieve. TSV hit the option of Not Interested also because the video came from a channel he does not have a subscription for and which he decided to not subscribe to when he saw their videos page. But he did sense the guilt trip of, well if you hit Not Interested on our video, that means you really don't care and you're in total denial. Again, that's the presumption and it's what he sees the larger personally corrupt culture to ultimately be about, and that's this notion that only the larger culture can have authoritative universal knowledge of absolutely -everything-, whereas it's its subjects that -have- to accept what the larger culture says at face value for being ignorant and not having the authority to reject the personally corrupt presumptuousness of the personally corrupt larger culture. But do you know what's above and superior and more authoritative than the personlly corrupt larger culture? It's God Himself. In the movie Oh God, TSV sees it being for a very good reason that John Denver's character says the following towards the end of the movie: we've already heard from the highest court.
