I suggest goodness is a universal. Perhaps the concept of goodness has many facets.
Prosperity for all, fairness, and abstention from the endless wars are certainly goodness. What is goodness in your view?

In this context, not actively working to harm marginalized communities.

It isn't Trump and Obama selling hundreds of billions in weapons to Saudi Arabia so they could help kill over 200,000 civilians in Yemen. I'm always confused when people claim that Trump didn't involve us in wars. Trump kept American troops in Yemen, and he authorized more drone strikes than Obama.

Accusations do not answer the question I posed to NotJoeBiden.
I'll just ask you the same question:
What is goodness in your view?

I wasn't attempting to answer the question, and I didn't make an accusation. I stated a historical fact.
To answer your question:
Goodness is not starting a thread with attacking a group within this community and then making insincere requests for unity.

I wish you well and would love for you to join me in UNITY.
However, again I must point out: Accusations do not answer the question posed.
As to any attacks: Oh the irony! You very recently attacked the Degreeinfo totalitarian mob for your own reasons. [you and I even discussed your complaints via the back channel]
I think I'm permanently banned from Degreeinfo so, as a dissident, I took the liberty of expressing my Schadenfreude here.

I stand ten toes down in my attack. I don't pretend to be for unity with people who don't want to unify with me. LOL

What does it mean to "stand ten toes down in my attack?"

It means that I'm fully committed to the stance that I took.

Thank you! That's a new term for me. As discussed in our private conversation, I am still in total agreement with you.
As to anyone who has no inclination to be in unity with me: I respect everyone's choice in the matter. However, my prayer of UNITY is still offered in all sincerity.
