This video is conformity.

@Joseph Maynor YOU'RE BACK?

Massive update on family situation. My uncle called me to tell me that he, my other uncle, Dad, and Aunty were all very disappointed in me for "worshipping cows". He was telling me that his kids were leaving tomorrow for Saudi Arabia for Umrah, and he was again insisting that I cancel my upcoming retreat. And the day before that, I spoke with my Aunty on the phone who was telling me that she didn't want me to go on this path. She said that Buddhism was wrong because they don't have a God and worship cows. She was telling me to read the Quran and show up with my elder cousin for Friday prayers. I'm supposed to meet with the family next Friday to the Mosque for Friday prayers. I explained to my uncle why I was doing these meditation retreats. That back in May I was experience an immense amount of anxiety and that I went to the retreat to take care of myself, and I loved it. My Dad calls me and apparently my Uncle told him that I told my uncle that I was depressed and suicidal. The words depressed and suicidal never left my mouth, but thats how my Uncle twisted it.

Yes, this. One-hundred percent a thousand times this.

I wrote this thread, I think this is a pretty good example of conformity.

Hello fellow Lebanese.

I want to go because I love my family but I’m worried that they’re going to try to convert me and are not going to be open minded to Eastern spirituality. I tried opening their minds by introducing Buddhist scripture and (New Age) spiritual books but they shut me down and told me to read the Quran instead. By the way, I am not a Buddhist and most of the literature I read is not Buddhist. But it’s like, they don’t know anything about Eastern religion, Actualized.org, and the New Age. Have never bothered to read any books, talk to any spiritual leaders, or visit any temples. but… They know that it’s wrong, so they don’t have to study it.

We are talking about a socialism success story and proof that it works.

T H A N K Y O U

Yugoslavia was the ideal example of Socialism as it had a unique emphasis on workers' self management. See this paper below: https://pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdf/10.1257/jep.5.4.187 And this video: If socialism simply doesn't work, then how do you explain this?

Tea is delicious! I'm currently drinking a DavidsTea 'Buddha's Blend'. Good job British.

I disagree. I think Tito in Yugoslavia provided a better alternative.

Of course it is. But I was pointing out that this is only popular with kids on the internet who have no appreciation for the boring technical aspects of government and are just trying to find an edgy club to join. This is the political equivalent of gothic kids in high school who are super into Friedrich Nietzsche and nihilism but are not actually serious about philosophy.

I completely disagree. I drink coffee for no other reason than I love it.

Cigarettes really are pure conformity. No one would smoke unless there was a decades long marketing campaign and it was baked into the culture.

I like the recent post about tourism in Iraq. People who travel are so damn conformist, especially from America. They go to all of the well known spots, Paris, Tokyo, Berlin, etc... And that's it. Even when people visit Russia, they'll go to St. Petersburg, then Moscow, then they'll fly home. They don't want to go to the Middle East, the Balkans, Africa. I wanted to tell my closest friends that I recently found the love of my life in Montenegro, and all of the people I told this to in America had no clue what Montenegro even was, so I just tell them I was also in Serbia. I had to explain that its a country in Europe. Then they just asked me if I liked Serbian and Montenegrin food. Always food with these people, the number one question I get asked about traveling. Americans, I swear...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment Oh great, another totalitarian and completely impractical political ideology that has no mainstream appeal, no chance of getting into power, and is only active on niche corners of the internet.

I love Slavs. I'm literally next month going to fly to Montenegro for a date. My heart has been stolen and I don't want it back.

@Leo Gura Do you believe that Epstein was a pedophile? What about Donald Trump? If Trump is not a pedophile, do you think he possibly knew about Epstein's pedophilia and knowingly covered it up?

Reading the original spiral dynamics book is an utter necessity. it frames everything in an academic context as it should be understood.

"She rightfully called out the AIPAC and voted against money to Israel, foreign wars, and defense spending, is what she did. She was a brave American Congresswoman. And in this house, Marjorie Greene is a hero. End of story.”
