    @Leo Gura Hey leo, is me trying to explain that the best argument against veganism is the preservation of culinary diversity and traditions, and then them proceeding by reengaging in classic vegan rhetoric, an example of leftsplaining ? 

    I don't know. That's up to you to decide.

    Be careful not to overuse the leftplaining concept. It can easily become a thought-terminating cliche.

    Isn’t the real question this: Would you rather have the truth - or do cocaine with Naomi Campbell at a John Galliano runway show?

    My point is this: You can try to reduce singularity to identity, to the Platonic ideal. But difference remains non-fungible. It escapes any fixed notion of truth.

    I don't understand your point.

    @Karmadhi I don't have a problem with action against Israel. My problem is with the lack of deep understanding, the skewing of the situation by leftists.

    Leftists are sacrificing truth and understanding for social justice, which is what I oppose. Truth must come first, social justice second, not the other way around.

    Israel can be sanctioned without the ideological thinking. The protestor ideology is what I oppose. The hysterical genocide chants and so forth. This precludes serious understanding of a complex situation, which is necessary to solve it.

    since Israel is more economically developed? It's easier too seem moral and "not use nukes" if you have the upper hand by 10x.

    But that economic development matters! Economics is pure survival value. Yes, Israel has much better economics which allows it to be more developed and civilized. It's not just easier to seem moral, it is the foundation for actual morality. Morality requires survival margin. Desperate people do desperate things. If I put a gun to your child's head you would start acting in immoral ways.

    And yes, upper hand matters too. America too would use nukes if backed absolutely into a corner. But the point is that America has enough margin to never be backed into such a corner. The margin isn't incidental, it is fundamental to development.

    Hamas are like rats in a frying pan. So they act like lunatics. It's sad, but it just is what it is and you have to deal with the rat at hand, not some hypothetical would-be scenario.

    If a mentally ill homeless man attacks you on the street, you gotta deal with him immediately, you cannot sit around lamenting about how unfair his childhood was. Yes, I'm sure his childhood was very unfair, but now he is a violent lunatic about to bite your face off. You cannot just let him run loose around your family.

    Maybe I’ve been mistaking self-awareness for actual awakening.

    Awakening is such a radical state change that it feels like you've broken reality. It's a state change so radical that the human mind cannot even imagine that such a state change is possible.

    It is an impossible state.

    So yeah... nothing you've been doing has been it or even in the ballpark of it.

    I know it's frustrating. I'm just being very straight with you so you don't waste your time jerking off.

    Really what you need is a breakthrough dose of 5-MeO-DMT. That would show you what I am talking about. A lot of stuff I say will suddenly make a lot more sense.

    I spent hours this week reading step by step about how Mossad assassinated top nuclear scientists. Poisoned, mail bombed, car bombed, shot in the face.

    Anyone who comes close to building a nuke in the Middle East will get a visit from Mossad assassins. That's how serious they take this matter.

    Netanyahu nearly launched an IDF invasion of Iran to take out their nuclear facilities.
