Was listening to the following Disaffected Podcast yesterday. Josh introduces with a monologue on forgiveness where he addresses Erika Kirks forgiveness of Charlies assassin and another incident where a father forgives the boy who stabbed his son to death. Josh also talks about his posts on SM about the abuse he suffered at the hands of his mother and how replies come telling him to forgive her. He has tried to get those that who reply to define what they mean by that. He also interviews Harrison Koehli, editor of Political Ponerology they talk about the subject through the lense of the study of pathology.


During the podcast, Josh mentions the writings of Paul Dohse who addresses what he refers to 'Carte Blanche Forgiveness' on his blog 'Pauls Passing Thoughts'. Dohse has written six articles on the subject with the basic premise that many current teachings or social expectations about forgiveness are false, manipulative and lead to spiritual tyranny. He addresses the illogical presuppositions that the false practices of forgiveness rely on.

A two-part series by Dohse:
