  1. I don't talk shit about Trump. I say the truth about Trump. Of course there will be some opposition. But the opposition should have some validity instead of just calling me hateful for criticising Trump. That's a non argument. Peace out.
  2. @Parththakkar12 I've no idea what you're talking about in the last few lines. Authoritarian regimes can never give you the freedom that democracy gives Race relations and gender relations are like black holes. If not resolved they'll suck in the system You cannot keep people's free will suppressed for too long unless their free will includes the right to harm someone. I don't know why you think that maintaining race relations and gender relations is not for survival. They are exactly for survival. The only difference is that they may not be collective survival but individual survival. But survival of course. At the end of the day everyone wants to survive, a democracy ensures that.
  3. IWhy do you want democracy to collapse? As long as a democracy is fair for everyone, there is no problem. You're looking at democracy with a very myopic lens. Democracy is not simply majority wins system as you say it. It is a sum total of all democratic values enshrined in the constitution. Under such a constitution, no matter whoever comes to power, your basic fundamental human rights are protected by a democratic law and order. You're likening democracy to people's choice. Like a people's choice award. Nope.. Democracy is a functional configured system that has to follow a fixed set of principles ordained by the court and endorsed by the Constitution and all laws need to be abided by in order for anything to occur or take place. So in a democracy I cannot pitch my tent on someone's front yard. I cannot sell whatever drugs I want to sell. Someone cannot threaten my life without consequences. I won't suffer discrimination at job or shopping or basic needs like electricity, water, food etc. Nobody can tell me to get out of the country or take me as a slave. Nobody can bully me or forcefully take me out of my house. Nobody can hurt my pet. My rights are secured. And If I want to choose a leader who has good policies, I can do that through my right vote. Also no matter what religion I follow, even if it's not the national or state religion, even if I'm a minority by race, ethnicity, religion,employment or disability, I still reserve the right to access to all basic services given by the government to all. If I lived in an undemocratic system, some powerful leader, out of personal reasons can order his officials to demolish my house. If I set up a bakery business, they can demolish my bakery. They can even threaten me to not marry a person. Or they can discriminate me in my job and fire me for no reason. I can lose my basic rights as an individual, lose my house, livelihood, relationship, safety, security and my right to live. You need to understand that people vote for a democracy, not for dictatorship. And the reason is not because majority wins. Because even if the majority elected a totalitarian, he cannot do anything to an individual in a democratic society or system. The rights of the individual are still preserved since the constitution has been formed on the principles of democracy. So democracy is not simple voting by majority, although voting a leader is only 1 aspect of democracy. Democracy as a whole is a body of and values, structures and principles generally regarded as humanitarian and protective of basic human rights. These principles were formed long ago by revolutionary individuals who drafted charters of rights and rules (which came to be known as the constitution) and these rights and rules were configured in such a way that the basic fundamental rights of both an individual and community are preserved and protected. If I have to give you an example, it's like this. You buy a computer. That computer company is the leader you choose. Whichever computer you choose, the internet is the same. If your computer malfunctions, it does not mean that the internet is not working. It's only your computer. Whichever computer you buy, the rules and regulations will remain open and fair for everyone. You can complain about the computer and get a new one that performs better but you can't complain about the internet because the internet is already configured to be accessible to everyone. Similarly democracy, anywhere in the world, follows the same set of unique principles designed to protect every human, animal and society. But if you are living in a country where such a principle is violated, then it's a fake democracy or a pseudo democracy or namesake democracy. Now this is not a fault of democracy but the fault of the people who call it a democracy but don't follow the principles within it..
  4. Thank you for the support. Being emotional and having empathy for the millions who died by Trump's inaction on Covid-19, people think that I'm being emotional. But they don't realize that when the life is on the line, emotions are very important for survival. If emotions weren't important, they wouldn't have been coded in our DNA. We are not born to be robots, but to be thinking, feeling, reasoning individuals. And my emotions aren't baseless. At least I have a firm reason to be emotional. A nation was in crisis because of Trump. No person with a heart can keep watching such destruction and not be vocal about it. Telling people to not be vocal is like suppressing the only voices that have the courage to speak.
  5. Even Leo said on the same thread that we can't unite with the devils. It's impossible to have a middle ground when core principles are opposite. Trump is undemocratic. No democrat can have a middle ground with his terms and conditions.
  6. @louhad do you understand that I'm criticizing Trump and strong criticism can appear as hate?
  7. Judgement is necessary. And my hate is mere criticism of Trump. It's not the hate you're thinking of, I don't wish death for anyone. This hate is simply a strong criticism of Trump which is absolutely essential if we were to choose good leaders and weed out bad leaders Being spiritual and robotic or "love all" mantra will not work in politics. No spiritual bypassing. People's lives are at stake. Wise judgement is called the power of discernment. Whereas judging someone who is good and and makes little mistakes is called real judging, the bad kind of judging.
  8. And shows you how your lack of judgment can have you fooled! Btw you are judging me as stage green, as something bad. So even you're judging me. It's you who is carrying this shadow that stage green is emotional so it's automatically Illogical in your mind because you have rejected and repressed stage Green in your shadow. If I hate Donald Trump, it's not because of a shadow, but because of his actions or lack thereof. You're automatically assuming that I must like all liberals and Democrats and hate any conservative. You're so wrong. I'd hated Trump even if he were a Democrat and a liberal. Because actions are important, not stage of the Spiral or what you words anyone says His actions are horrible, undemocratic, narcissistic, dangerously careless and self serving. Stop blaming me dude!! Stop nitpicking on me. It's not my judgement which is dangerous, it's Donald Trump who is dangerous.
  9. How can I stop a fight today?
  10. I believe that people can have two types of energy fields around them. One is positive and creates positive changes in the environment of the person. Karma and aura. The other side
  11. The thing that you don't understand is that you cannot unite with the ones with bad intentions or mindsets. It's like telling someone to befriend terrorists. The road to healing is an independent road. Dems will have to work on their plans and reach their goals without befriending Republicans or submitting to their demands. The Republicans will have to be left to themselves because they won't be of much use as long as they hold out a grudge against Dems. You can't expect unity with someone whose values are different and diametrically opposite of yours. Because then it means agreeing to them or their values. But how can you agree to something that is against your core principles. But this does not mean an outright war. It only means moving along with your plans and goals leaving the opponent out of your business. It's not about attacking Republicans or creating hate against them. It only means avoiding them and moving on
  12. It's not possible to unite with people like Trumpers. How can Americans not understand this simple thing?
  13. In Finland and Sweden almost everything is a walk in the park.
  14. This is a false narrative, cooked up story. This is just some weird theory that doesn't hold water. Most people just use Facebook for chatting or posting updates. No big deal They're making Facebook out to be something it's not.
  15. True. There's nothing humane about Trump. Everything is a show, a reality show!!! Trump knows the art of the deal. Master manipulator who knows how to manipulate the masses through his "little mind" acts, meaningless. That guy is exposed during this election. People saw the real Trump, an egomaniacal fascist.
  16. @Hardkill Now we can say bye bye to this pathetic army forever.
  17. @Vipassana that don't happen in the case of Trump, he has been jinxed forever.
  18. @Arcangelo I love you. Take care.
