Trying my hardest to be civil in this uncivilised world.
Fuck if I know, I’m not that clever. 😭
On my end, just not supporting some businesses and a bit of charity is what I do, but more courageous (and probably less self-centered) folks like the people of Palestine Action do get some shit done from time to time.
I mean, it’s not like they’re gonna repent if we ask nicely, lol. We’ve no choice but to fight the oppressors even if we dislike fighting.
Why not? Should it wait another century?
Idk, the far right has taken over Italy, Germany and probably France, soon. The people in these countries, whilst not as awful as Americans, are/can still be very uncaring and sociopathically self-centered on average (I’m a well-travelled frog, not just an “external hater”).
First tell the truth and then we’ll deal with the consequences. It’s a bitchy amoral move to deny the truth simply because it would affect you negatively in this world.
Idk if this is OC or not but goddamn it’s on point and extremely relevant. Sometimes people forget the only reason the West can just get lost in consumerism and hedonism is because of the stolen resources and subjugation of people around the world. 🥲
Hey hey, America/Americans are not representative of humanity as a whole!
Roman Catholicism was the state religion of the Roman empire (the America of its time), their own man-worshipping polytheistic creation (they’re Trinitarians, Jesus only worshiped the “Father”, not himself or the Spirit). All Christian denominations derive from it and have the same unstable foundations.
Bear in mind I’m not disregarding the Law and the prophets (and Jesus is one of my phone’s wallpapers, lol), just the Western heretical creation that forgoes duty and righteousness for “belief in Jesus Christ, our Lord and saviour”, whatever the fuck that means. Jesus himself said that you have to work good deeds so you can please God, that you have to pursue perfection of character “just like the Father is perfect”, and that’ll he’ll reject many who claim to follow him (it ain’t enough to just say “Jesus, Jesus!”) so idk why Paulian creed so often supersedes it in Christian history but whatevs.
Christianity is literally a religion created by the America of its time, co-opting the image of Jesus, a “Jewish” monotheist anti-imperialist revolutionary, after they killed him and goddamn, hasn’t it worked wonders for Western leaders… Deus Vult remains strong to this day! 😭
Agreed, agreed, but only because of the examples you provided. Had you said something closer to “a poor mom stealing food from the supermarket and a rich man with no financial needs to meet stealing from the poor are the same/just as bad” then I would’ve had a different reaction, lol.
I understand the feeling (don’t condone it, neither in you or me, but trust me, I understand it deeply) but you cannot morally justify putting a person’s life in danger because they’re annoying online. You can usually just block them too, you know? And the possibility of that person being a literal child or an emotionally/mentally challenged adult is very high too… You’re gonna have to deal with your anger management issues, my friend (again, I understand!), for the sake of all of us.
I mean, uhh, kinda? But sometimes people have important questions and aren’t just asserting things from ignorance and to stop them from participating would just keep them ignorant which isn’t very prosocial of us. If you want to participate and speak your mind and know almost nothing about the topic, I think the most honest and least annoying way to do so is to give everyone a disclaimer (“I’m very ignorant about this but I feel like…”).
Idk about talking about the Oscars and being interested in movies as a medium. Talking about the Oscars critically would require more knowledge about movies in the sense of “Hollywood is, at least today, just another Western grift”, their reasons for keeping the Oscars relevant and money-laundering schemes, lol.
It’s useful but certainly going to make people dumber and/or schizos, sadly.
A now popular word used by “liberals” for anyone that doesn’t just regurgitate Western narratives, from what I’ve seen.
“Tankie” is for liberals what “woke” is for right-wingers.
They’re psyching the Western hateful dummies with nothing to live for for massive war in the continent and all they can say is “well Russia is THE ENEMY, we have to destroy them!” 😅. What a group of stupid villains, lol.
If you wanna rise in the West, you better be evil.
RIP Aaron Schwartz. 🙏
TBF, free will is a thing. A friend of mine back in my army days intentionally fell down the stairs not to be deployed to “protect French interests in West Africa”. So either they’re “suckers” or they’re okay murdering innocents across the world for money.
