@Leo Gura I would agree in the sense that the vehicles are deliberately overpriced to play into status games which at the end of the day, does matter in attraction. Do you not appreciate the design/aesthetics of these sorts of cars tho? & would u consider car enthusiasts like Doug demuro who purchased a vintage Lamborghini countash as perverts or it could be a legitimate passion?

@Sandhu Which is your country? Wouldn’t you agree that hiding it is more up to relative personal preference or logistics rather than a vital static factor in the equation?

@Leo Gura Hiding it is only one factor in the process of grooming, and often an irrelevant one. The American elite and the general Hollywood/celebrity culture allows for this conduct openly, as long as the victim/family/society are groomed well enough. In third world countries, grooming is more difficult as predators must contend with the cultural/moral/social/financial barriers of families and the authorities which are much stricter than in America. Going back to my chrome hearts example, there are public images of Martha Stewart, Naomi Campbell, Diana Ross, Micheal Jackson, Mick Jagger, Jay z, Ghislane Maxwell posing in intimate photos with Epstein and also wearing the brand chrome hearts (which is ran by the stark family and is known for highly personalized service especially for VIP clientele as the starks like to surround themselves with powerful figures.) My instagram account was ignored and ultimately deleted for speaking out about this. These are household names that have earned the trust of the American people, when you look at the Epstein files you see that this trust was often the initial point of corruption that allowed for further grooming of victims.

@Leo Gura With children on the scale that we have in America. I recently sold my collection of chrome hearts clothing after the Epstein files were released, many popular American figures such as Martha Stewart, Naomi Campbell, Diana Ross, Micheal Jackson, Mick Jagger, Jay z, Ghislane Maxwell, have been intimately affiliated with Epstein and the fashion house chrome hearts. Not only is Americas hottest fashion house deeply corrupt, it has relationships with other figures from major world wide brands such as Pharrell from Louis Vuitton who boldly posted Pusha T after he and Jay z were caught in the Epstein files. Demna from gucci and balenciaga was also involved in a scandal with children. I think to have this activity be so prevalent would only be possible in American elite society.

@Leo Gura It may have been a typo but I do like the notion of “Chineses” rather than Chinese. From what I understand China is one of the most surveillance heavy countries in the world, utilizing facial recognition cameras, and the population is eager to inform authorities of any suspicions. Wouldn’t it be very difficult to conduct such activity specifically in china?

@Leo Gura Isn’t it possible for him to maintain his power and tone down the chauvinism, It seems that these chauvinistic antics only hinder him from true greatness.

@Leo Gura This is a very interesting phenomenon! Can we get some anecdotes on “men of the cloth” who used “sheep in wolfs clothing” effectively?

For example, in order for a rapist to become Good, he would need to introspect and recognize by the light of his own Consciousness that rape is wrong. For Andrew Tate to become Good, he would need to introspect and realize within himself that treating women the way he treats women is wrong. Do you see that this cannot come from outside of himself? It does not matter what the law says, or what the courtroom says, or what the Bible says, or what I say, because even if he followed all those external standards, as long as he internally thought that rape is cool, then he's a bad person. Bad not because I judge him, but bad because he lacks self-awareness. Rape is bad because it is unconscious survival. For Andrew Tate to become a Good person he would need to make all of his unconscious survival behavior conscious, which would be very painful for him to do because he would feel so bad about his past behavior. Which is why he's stuck being a bad person. Bad people are stuck in a vicious cycle of denial about their own behavior. Honestly, this entire paragraph is well written and I agree with it, I am only confused about one small sentence in this paragraph, “Rape is bad because it is unconscious survival.” Does Leo mean that the actual act of rape is unconscious because he mentions that the rapist thinks its “cool”, or does he mean that the rapist is not conscious of how his raping is a survival strategy?

@Ajay0 The root of these conflicts can be traced back to the founding of the countries! From the Ukrainian war of independence to “Zionism was the main force behind the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, and remains the country's dominant ideology today.”(Wikipedia).

@Knn Do you really think modern Israelis still bear a grudge that deep based on historical events that they weren’t alive for tho? It’s surely one factor in the equation but I believe Leo is correct to boil it down to simply not caring about others moral system.

@Nivsch If you ask me, Leo was spot on with the original bear analogy, the bear simply does not care about your moral system.

@Knna splendid read!

@Thought Art Quite the contrary, going back in history it seems like Zionism was the main catalyst of the conflict, with radical Islam adding fuel to the fire. @Willy Phallicus Palestine is prohibited from having a military due to Israeli policies, why put HAMAS and Palestine in the same boat? @Raze @Karmadhi Those are also important distinctions, ethnic cleansing is definitely more severe than the loss of a cultural identity

@Leo Gura Under the 1993 and 1995 Oslo Accords, the Palestinian Authority (PA) was established as an interim self-governing body. These agreements permitted the creation of a police and internal security force, but explicitly prohibited the establishment of a regular military or army. Palestinian security forces are restricted in their size, training, and weaponry, limited mostly to small arms and light vehicles. (Welcometopalestine.com) It seems like due to these Oslo Accords, Palestine is backed into a corner as far as defense which is why these terrorist organizations sprout up and become so powerful relative to the government. How is Palestine supposed to prevent terrorism without a strong defense?

@Terell Kirby Well said!
