Mockery as a Social "Antibiotic"
Reptiliandude argues that true adherence to the Golden Rule requires the courage to use proper mockery as a tool for collective health, rather than offering a “warm moist towel of civility” that allows “deplorable depravity” to flourish. He contends that the “undeserved respect” currently given to irrationality and stupidity is a biological failure that fosters societal disease, whereas pointing out these flaws is a necessary act of kindness that protects the species’ evolution. By reframing mockery as a social antibiotic, RD asserts that humanity must reclaim its ability to shame corruption and “properly mock” those who lead others astray, ensuring that the collective is not “brought down a level” by the unchecked spread of “stupid” and destructive narratives.

Question: I don’t think we should mock and ridicule her, ppl. That essentially brings us down a level. She clearly isn’t in a rational and sound mental state and she was severely injured. She seems to be a person who has to learn the hard way unfortunately. What happened to the golden rule?
I understand this is Reddit but the way many individuals are approaching this spiritual/humanitarian crisis from the anti-government & international corporation camp is simply a reflection of the other sides tactics. It still promotes division. Maybe I’m dumb, but I think see the trap. 🤷♂️
Rant over
reptiliandude: What do you mean it brings “us” down a level?
The reason why there is so many false narratives is because of undeserved respect and a paucity of proper mockery.
This is how chicken fuckers found their validation.
Until recently, Finland had brothels for shit like this.
America went to shit soon after it ended public stocks for societal pariahs.
Well, that and public executions.
Question: Hey, RD. Thanks for the response.
By “Us” I meant Humans , which is what I am and assume that the commenters here are too.
From my understanding when we ignore the golden rule (treat others how you want to be treated), we miss the opportunity to build each other up collectively as it inhibits humanities evolution spiritually. I don’t enjoy being the center of negative attention.
Humans are very similar at the core; we feel emotions profoundly (except for sociopaths and psychopaths) and I think that the energy released has the potential to manipulate “reality” like our thoughts.
What I meant by “bringing us down a level” is that we essentially take a step backwards in our evolutionary process by being mean and negative to one another.
reptiliandude: I know what you meant.
That is why I contrasted it so strongly with a reference to bestiality.
Handing that person a warm moist towel of civility in the face of such a deplorable depravity only fosters the disease.
Admin Note:
In this confrontational exchange, Reptiliandude (RD) redefines the application of the “Golden Rule.” He argues that while kindness is a virtue, the most profound act of kindness toward a collective is the uncompromising exposure of stupidity and depravity. From his perspective, “proper mockery” is not about being mean, but about maintaining the integrity of the species by stripping away the “undeserved respect” that allows corrupt narratives to take root.
I. The Critique of Passive Civility
A user argues that mocking those in irrational states brings humanity “down a level” and inhibits spiritual evolution.
- The Humanitarian Risk: The user suggests that ignoring the Golden Rule—treating others with the empathy one wishes to receive—creates a “trap” of negativity that halts progress.
- The Counter-Argument: RD clarifies that handing someone a “warm moist towel of civility” in the face of deplorable behavior is not true kindness; it is a failure to protect the social organism.
II. Mockery as a Social Antibiotic
RD argues that the “Golden Rule” is actually upheld when one has the courage to point out “stupidity” for the benefit of others.
- Undeserved Respect: RD claims that many of Earth’s false narratives exist only because people are too “polite” to challenge them.
- The Functional Role of Shame: He points to the historical use of public stocks and mockery as a means of maintaining societal standards, suggesting that when a society stops “shaming” depravity, that depravity becomes validated.
Note: RD is arguing for Proactive Empathy. He suggests that it is more “kind” to the thousands of healthy cells in an organism to mock and isolate a “diseased” cell than it is to be “polite” to the infection. In this framework, mockery is the “immune system” of a healthy society.
