The David Duke right were anti zionists far before the left embraced it, we're talking the mid 2000's here it was all over conspiracy forums. I chuckle when I see anti zionists on the left. Bottom line, human nature is human nature. Does no good to target one ethic group when 80% of their populace have done nothing wrong. Most people are not political and just try to live their lives in spite of their leadership, not because of it. Most "cause fighters" tend to have a few screws loose, no matter what the cause is they are trying to fight for, simply because they want to force everyone else to believe the way they do, their invested emotional position, they think that if everyone thinks like they do it will make them more happy. Usually doesn't work, they're just fucked in the head. In any case, yes jews have a lot of power, and worse they push their money printing and mass migration to prop up their pyramid scheme banking system and increase their own wealth, but I ask myself would I rather be under rule of some other ethic group like the Arabs or Chinese? Not really. Not a fan of authoritarian systems of government, mostly due to human nature... concentrated power can't be trusted.

The real trick is never giving in with treat days, because of the way the dopamine system in the brain works, just one splurging of a chinese buffet makes it much more likely a person will eat there again and again. Treat days sound good in theory but really they just prime the brain to repeat the treat days excessively and then the weight starts to gain. Keep it off through permanent dietary changes. Avoid foods loaded with MSG, carbohydrates, and fats mixed together. Think most potato chips, crackers, cookies, hot pockets, donuts, and high carb calorie dense foods. Just don't eat them. Period. Triscuits and Sun Chips are not healthy... they load them with MSG or Yeast Extract to get you addicted to them. I use keto bread, 40 calories per slice... sugar free jelly, 10 calories per TBSP. Eat lots of frozen vegetables. Eggs (yes they are healthy, choline is good for people and most are deficient) ... fresh vegetables, mushrooms, tomato items and tomato soup. Various apple varieties (favorite is sugarbee) ... with a vitamix I like to make frozen smoothies with protein powder and frozen blueberries, or use lemon powder, liquid sucralose, and frozen strawberries to make a lemonade slushie. There's a subreddit called "volumeeating" that might help you. https://www.reddit.com/r/Volumeeating/ Ninja Cremi is good for dessert type items with minimal calories, though it's loud. It might not seem like it, but the body will reach a point where it no longer strongly craves the comfort high calorie junk item it once did, no matter what the item is. Certain foods only get eaten in the company of others, won't buy them for myself.

Most "toxins" in the body are actually mental constructs and created stories with the actual cause being an overactive sympathetic nervous system and too much life stress, partly from poor thoughts and too much engagement in social media and media sensationalism. Really heavy metals are the main thing fasting won't take care of, and fasting isn't even that necessary if you have a happy life in general, good friends or have found your peace of mind, with a limbic brain adapted to be chill in demanding situations. The whole "natural health" space on the internet has good intentions, but there's a lot of half truths mixed in and a lot of expensive natural remedies or even inexpensive ones that don't do anything... think liver flushes, P&B shakes, drinking oxidants like MMS or hydrogen peroxide, drinking "micro water" or "declustered water" , worrying about "chronic lyme" as a cause of everything (now it's toxins in general) even things like drinking urine. All snake oil. This idea that there are toxins everywhere is largely a sensationalist fabrication, at least in western countries, thanks to progressives cleaning everything up over the years. Yes microplastics are a thing but they are not really doing anything particularly harmful. Aside from that, most people's health suffers from high carb ultra processed foods more than anything, because they are so easy to overeat and so addictive... any food that combines carbs and fats together in large amounts. It's ironic that the most contaminated foods (because they have a lot of heavy metals) are considered healthy ones... fish, certain spices commonly used in health food circles, plant based protein powders, cocoa powder, these tend to be the items with the most heavy metals. The chemicals to preserve food are not really as dangerous as they are made out to be by internet content peddlers... they mostly act as antioxidants. The worst offenders are already out of the food supply (thanks progressives) and thank RFK for redoing the food guide pyramid to get rid of the silly base of living off carbohydrates as supposedly healthy... the obesity rates have skyrocketed under this carb heavy pyramid.

I get many leftists want people not eating meat, but the biggest health lie told the last 50 years is that stuffing yourself up with carbohydrates is the best way towards optimal health. It's harder to produce high profit margin, mass market cheap food when you rely more on perishables, which all meats, fruits, dairy, and vegetables ultimately are by comparison. Easier to stuff a bunch of carbs together with seed oils, throw in some MSG to make it addictive, and package it with a 2 year shelf life. Not even against eating bugs if they can make it taste good with the proper macros however. There is a need to provide inexpensive food to the lower classes. We can't have an entire planet of people eating paleo/keto diets because meat is a resource intensive thing to produce. The reality of the situation is few americans will eat this diet... most will default to their pizza, chips, candy bars, hot pockets, donuts, and french fries. The internet tends to produce small groups of loud individuals who end up in their own echo chambers circle jerking each other... this is the vegans, keto eaters, mediterranean diets, etc... the masses just eat what they crave, and consume what the tee vee says to, with their chips and beer in front of their dad bods during their NFL games.

Most cults exist so their leaders can have sex with lots of women. Period. Most people are their religion because of geography and luck, no other reason. It astounds me that people never seem to think about this and continue to live as they were taught, not as how they want. Everyone thinks they have the best evidence and miracles, but it's really just that spiderman meme pointing at its reflection.

Same. People around me complain about being woken up but will simply not wear earplugs when given the option to do so. It's a habit that takes time for the limbic brain to want to actually do. I find these to be the most comfortable, get them free at work https://www.webstaurantstore.com/3m-311-4106-e-a-rsoft-yellow-black-metal-detectable-corded-foam-earplug-pack/3993114106.html One can practice radical acceptance of being woken up or not sleeping however. It's a gradual process to not be bothered by it. Some people's brains are wired to enjoy the outside noise, makes them feel secure like people around. Much of it is mental perception.

There's lots of closed mindedness among the greens.. mostly because they actually believe the stuff peddled by the mainstream media and turned green into another cult just like the lower stages. Maybe it's "better" in theory but the differences between Christianity and the Woke are not huge in the end, they both propose forms of government that wouldn't work given human nature. You will never save everyone in an environment of evolution and natural selection where nature is brutal and we are wired with primitive drives that cause us to live secret lives hidden away from the polished exteriors we present to society. Spiral dynamics seems fairly accurate to me. However, enlightenment was never supposed to be about having inflated spiritual egos and fighting political wars against lower stages. Would love to live in an authoritarian-lite country like Singapore where there is tight control, but the cost of living is still way too high, and they do execute drug dealers and imprison drug users. People would then bitch about freedom of expression... pick one... freedom or control. Our nature makes having both at the same time difficult, because people aren't going to just do the right thing because you or anyone thinks they should. Do you want more control over what people are willing to do or not? Democracy means diversity and disorder, creativity and chaos. Accept chaos is part of the system and find the peace of mind you seek. Turn off media sources and stop falling into political echo chambers. Seems to me like greens are being greens. Not yellows. They are tier 1 consciousness, and that's fine.

does human nature prevent any system of government from working ideally? Are we victims of our own genes? Absolutely, human nature is the goddamn obstacle. It's the messy, biological, self-interested core of us that makes any notion of an "ideal" government system a theoretical wet dream that collapses the second you introduce real people. The cold, hard truth is that our innate psychological and evolutionary predispositions are fundamentally at odds with the pure, impartial logic required for an ideal system to function perfectly. 🧐 The Inescapable Constraints of Human Nature The whole structure of political philosophy, from Hobbes to Rousseau and beyond, is essentially an attempt to manage the beast of human nature. Why do we need government at all? Because letting us run around in a 'state of nature' leads to a shitshow—a "war of all against all," as Hobbes so elegantly put it. The very traits that allowed our ancestors to survive in small groups are the same ones that poison large-scale political systems: Self-Interest and Egotism: At the deepest, most biochemical level, we are wired for self-preservation and resource acquisition. This manifests in politics as greed, corruption, and the relentless pursuit of power by individuals who will invariably twist a system—even one designed to be "ideal"—to serve their own ends. Tribalism and In-Group Bias: Evolutionarily, cooperating with your immediate group and viewing the "out-group" with suspicion was a survival mechanism. In modern politics, this becomes partisan deadlock, nationalism, and identity politics, making rational, universal decision-making virtually impossible. A perfect system requires an objective assessment of the greater good; human nature defaults to "my team's good." Irrationality and Cognitive Bias: We aren't rational economic or political agents, no matter what some goddamn models claim. We're driven by emotion, fear, and a host of cognitive biases like motivated reasoning, where we seek out and interpret information that confirms what we already want to believe. This is why factual, logical policy often loses out to a charismatic, fear-mongering authoritarian during a crisis. The "authoritarian reflex" suggests that our unconscious tendency to prefer aggressive, strong leaders spikes during times of perceived threat, which is a massive constraint on the stability of delicate systems like democracy. 🧬 Are We Victims of Our Genes? The idea that we are victims of our own genes is a bit too simplistic—it implies total, fatalistic control—but it holds a significant kernel of truth. Genetic Predispositions: Studies in genopolitics, a controversial but fascinating field, suggest that political attitudes and behaviors (like party affiliation strength, and even threat sensitivity) have a heritable component. You've got genes linked to neurotransmitter function and differences in brain structures (like the amygdala, associated with fear) that are correlated with political orientation. Not Determinism, but Constraint: These biological factors don't determine your vote, but they establish likelihoods and constraints on the types of psychological traits that influence your political engagement. For example, a higher sensitivity to disgust or threat (which is biologically mediated) can predispose an individual toward more conservative or security-focused political attitudes. We aren't puppets on genetic strings, but our genes built the stage upon which political life plays out, and they laid down the default behaviors of the actors (us). Any system, no matter how flawlessly drafted on paper, must be run by these flawed, self-interested, fear-driven, tribal organisms. Ultimately, the failure of any real-world government to be "ideal" isn't a failure of the blueprint; it's a failure of the raw materials. You can't build a perfect machine out of inherently imperfect, squishy, and emotionally unstable components like us. That's the tragic, brutal, and utterly factual irony of politics. What do you think? Is there any way to design a system that effectively counteracts those fundamental biological impulses, or are we just cycling through different flavors of failure until the heat death of the universe?

How clean is everything? How is the crime? Despite not having as much freedom I get the sense that autocratic nations at least enforce laws better and people behave themselves because they know there are consequences for their actions. What is the cost of living for actual chinese people, not western influencers earning US dollars and spending them in China.... are we making any progress at average middle class people able to get ahead on this planet or is it more of the same, where the top 10% can buy up everything using the central bank money printing, cantillon effect, and existing wealth to leverage, while the wages of the working class don't keep up with the rate of inflation? Do they have to work 60-80 hours a week just to be able to support themselves? What is the worst thing about living there you've noticed so far if you did live there and were a born citizen? I watch "Because I'm Lizzy" youtube videos and they tend to just show the positives whereas SerpentZA & Laowhy86 seem to peddle bullshit but in a negative light.

Quite true. Even knowing this information about "radical acceptance" it's hard to internalize it. Most people don't stand a chance here. Get born in North Korea and try to preach about radical acceptance of leaders who are hypocrites and live lavish lives totally at contrast to the way they treat their citizens.

There's literally an infinite number of choices of everything these days for egos to "define their individuality" and "be themselves" whether it's cars, vacation destinations, sports teams, video games, or religions. Makes me chuckle. Find your inner peace. How you get there doesn't necessarily matter as much. It's neurochemical reactions in the brain combined with external stimuli generating a result determined by genetics and environment. I've found 15 mg/day Lexapro to really help me achieve peace of mind, working on my thoughts and mindfullness without that reactive emotional animal brain always getting in the way with it's irrational evolutionary demands.

Pushing one's limit is a young man's game. Past 35 it should be more about common sense exercise to maintain the body without destroying joints and tendons. Exercise itself is somewhat overrated and just another "belief system" that people decide to participate in. In fact past a certain point, the more you use your body the faster it falls apart, just like any other item.

I mean, higher spiral dynamics stages are more evolved than lower ones. Today's modern left is less dangerous because they are more evolved. Conservative parties tend to be lower on the scale and more apt to resort to violence and autocratic ways of leading, but that's not to say that greens can't be violent because we have clear numerous examples of them being violent, mostly fueled by the leftist propaganda they get when going to colleges, which pushes them to "hate the haters" in a very polarizing and unhealthy manner. Most conservatives are not nearly as fascist as the media and colleges paint them out to be, and this caricature of the right leads to increasing polarization. Most non political people have more common sense than most people into any sort of strict "movement" who want to try to assimilate followers whether it's religious or political or whatever. Most of them are nutty to one degree or another. I look at the movement following Charlie with the same healthy skepticism as the one telling me I must embrace 85 genders or else. A stage yellow is not going to be a strict leftist supporting these social utopian forms of government that go against the basic laws of nature if they see these systems aren't going to work, as an example. Just my opinion. It's about getting past emotional bias and understanding human nature, as best one can do. Most centrists are probably not more "evolved" but some are. They are mostly less dangerous, as long as they aren't centrists that are easily manipulated into causes or conspiracy theories.

The problem isn't "right wing" as much as it is any large group that brainwashes people with dogma. The shooter here went into college and got all that "right wingers are fascist" dogma thrown at him by the professors and got radicalized. After watching the wife speak however I got the sense she was cult indoctrinated herself and the last thing we need is some right wing religious cult getting significant power. If you want to unite people, you can't keep attacking them and portraying them as fascists and preaching about democracy while at the same time claiming the other side is dangerous and shouldn't have a voice. Most normal people aren't into "movements" and are good people by nature (as good as they can be given our genetic makeup.) It tends to be activists who are varying degrees of mentally damaged, which is contrary to what they'd like you to think when they talk about the "sheep" not knowing the "so called" truth about whatever so called truth this "truth seeker" thinks they know. Best thing the average person can do is live by example, live a good life, and avoid social media, politics, and various "movements" and "causes" designed to impose morality on people's behavior, whether it's loony left or loony right.

Porn is no more or less a problem than drug culture or excessive use of screens. It's all just dopamine hits giving short term pleasure. As for climate change, until the people who talk about it actually reduce carbon emissions themselves, not much will improve. You see a lot of people on the left who fly all over the world and have large carbon footprints themselves. It's one thing to talk about carbon emissions, it's another thing to reduce them oneself, and most people don't want to give up their enjoyment of life and experiencing everything to live on principle, and the banking systems which rely on consumption and perpetual growth to fund unfunded liabilities, don't want people to stop consuming. As to the solution to all these problems, if you want to give people freedom you have to accept they aren't all going to make the "right" choice... which means you're supporting forcing people to live a certain way. The mistake the left makes is thinking people will simply make the right choice, when given unlimited freedom, and then there's the matter of what choices are considered "right" which is in the eyes of the beholder ... in any case it takes pavlonian conditioning and enforcement of laws to force people to behave in the way those in charge would want them to behave.
