>>"I do think that Netanyahu and several other of out revered "leaders" are immature."

It's not immaturity, it's different values.

I checked out the definition of maturity and one part is "fully developed powers of body and mind, adult". I don't think N has fully developed powers in his mind. More more more for me me me seems to be his approach to life. He is committing a genocide at least partly to avoid being prosecuted for his own crimes. That does not sound like a person with fully developed powers of anything.

If you belive that Netanyahu is not mature, than you are deceiving yourself. According to your "fully developed powers of body and mind", who decides what "fully developed powers are"? You? Me?

Netanyahu knows exactly what he is doing - he has fully developed powers (whatever that is) of body and mind. They are just DIFFERENT from you and me. That doesn't mean it signifies immaturity.

According to your logic, anyone that disagrees with your values can be called "immature". Satanyahu is a genocidal maniac, a psychopath, a sociopath, and many other things, but not immature. He has different goals, beliefs, values, objectives, and is the very personification of EVIL in all its forms - but not immature. Your calling Satanyahu "immature" is a way of resolving your own cognitive dissonance of HOW anyone can be so evil. Calling him "immature" resolves that cognitive dissonance for you.

He does not seem to have developed his powers of empathy. Also, there seems to be a logic deficit as there seems to be with most of our leaders these days. They do not seem to recognize that they make up a tiny part of life on this planet and when they destroy the rest of the planet, they will likely get themselves as well. I doubt that you know what resolves cognitive dissonance for me, especially from the conversations in these postings. You don't need to be a psychoanalyst for me or for anyone. You can do better than that.

Again, you fail to understand that YOUR definition of "immature" is JUST your interpretation based on YOUR values, etc.

>>"there seems to be a logic deficit"

You fail to understand that people like Satanyahu work under a "different logic" than most ordinary people. They have a logic all their own - this is similar to other people in positions of power and authority in other places in the world too.

>>" I doubt that you know what resolves cognitive dissonance for me"

I don't want to know. Not interested in that. The issue is your "imprint" of definitions (eg. immaturity) based on YOUR values, beliefs, etc. (which are not universal).

>>"developed his powers of empathy"

Yes, that is a condition with many sociopaths and psychopaths. That does not make them "immature". That makes them sociopaths and psychopaths.

Where was she submissive? Susan and Chang had a disagreement in their adjectives used to describe Netanyahu, but Susan wasn’t submissive. You’re trying to insult Chang but you actually insulted Susan, because you’re an idiot Mr. Bot.

Netanyahu IS an ordinary person. He has been very fucked up. Maybe I don't see things YOUR way and that is YOUR problem.
