Germany still participates in western imperialism (participating in the invasion of Afghanistan, supporting Israel, etc), that is correct. It's history is full of double standards and hypocrisy, same as British, French, Dutch, Belgian, Portugese, Spanish, Italian and American history, all mercilessly extracted wealth out of their colonies in competition to each other. All of that led to the world of today. It is important to consider that German politics is extremely ideologically confused, upholding European dominance in the world, because it is profitable, as well as trying to be liberal and good because of the things you stated. They are unconditional US and Israel supporters, but do little airdrops of food for Gaza, because starving people, eh, is a little too much. When it comes to Arabs in Europe, much violence, clan and mafia wars, gang rapes and terror happened. It just happened in front of everybody's eyes, and the establishment tried to deny it oftentimes. Calling Germans Nazis for being critical about that, is just ludicrous...

I don't think so. Germany is pitted against Russia mainly because of the USA... and because of conflicting political systems, pluralistic democracy vs autocratic fascism. Germany is critical to Muslims because of mass migration and the subsequent destabilization of the society and culture. I can attest to it as someone from central Europe. Tons of Chinese, Ukrainians, etc here, but violent crimes from foreigners come mainly from central Asian people (Arabic and Afghan). That's a sad but open secret. Merz just came back to CDUs original conservatism, after Merkel softened it at the end of her reign

Asking more questions directed at other people Serious pick up (I have a girlfriend though) Building kind of a group based on shared interests

What is a good strategy for communication and socializing if you have attention problems? As someone who has the problem of ADHD (for me little attention stamina, problems concentrating singularly and being cognitivelly quick) how should I go about socializing. I tried to be more withdrawn and silent, which gives me a better presence but it feels quite maladaptive and neurosis promoting. Going out and forcing me try-harding meeting people helped me getting more friends but first I get high strung and stressed out from that and a certain portion of people just end up not holding up the contact from their side. And in the end it did not give me good strategies. Maybe someone has good tactics and strategies for navigating society and being more carismatic as a half-wit?

I see that thats what kind of happens in my life. Two things though 1. I have to talk to "neurotypical" people too in my life, as part of going out, education, professional life, etc. 2. Should people just segregate in your opinion?

All the lobbying going on in the US with AIPAC and the like, must be happening in Europa in much more secret

Germany is not going to side with Israel, they are already closely allied. The ruling party CDU is one of those "We stand with Israel"-sayers. No matter what happens to the Palestinians. Economy over peace. It mainly comes down to the guilt of the Holocaust and being a puppet to the US. Criticizing Zionism in Germany could even get you in jail in a politically motivated sentence, because " anti-semitism"

I think it is mainly for securing lots of petro dollars and in so keeping the American empire vital.

@Ramasta9 I got panic attacks from trying to chelate with cilantro. The problem is, you don't know the half life and how much of the chelating agent is in the herb and can't do safe chealtion this way

@Ramasta9 Klinghardt also recommends wild garlic and cilantro for chelation, be very careful

I don't play video games regularly for years now. I just saw how much of a waste of time the can be.Guess that many here gone trough the same and can relate. Recently, I decided to create a steam account though and purchase my fav game of all time in discount. I like to go to concerts, play frisbee or table tennis from time to time to relax and let my mind rest on one thing that I love. These are distractions that actually have a positive impact on my life. What I want to avoid getting sucked into multi hour sessions of playing. This is particular difficult because I like to play grand strategy games. Do you have experience integrating occasional gaming into a self actualizing, productive and healthy life in a way that actually benefits you ans your life? The thing is, I love strategy games and they give me a great feeling. But I hate seeing my potential being eaten up by distraction.

I see, one should practice flexibility, it's important. I'm actually lowkey scared of wasting potential, to be honest.

Interesting, did not expect that answer from you. The vacation comparison makes sense, especially with good role play games like Dark Souls.

No

NORMal things aren't automatically conformity

Stop trolling. You know that's totally false.

What really bogs my mind is how the whole endeavour of spirituality is to come to Truth, Awakening, God, Moksha,... But how certain of an attainment is this, if in all eternity, life is where it is right now. Confused, suffering, frustrated? Ok some joy, some clarity too, but still so confused, suffering, frustrated. In all eternity life is like it is right now. So how about a state of omiscience, of freedom, of clarity, when all of eternity lead to ignorance, bondage and confusion? It feels like it needs limitations to even be something.

Reminds me of Giordano Bruno's book that I am reading right now. Would you say that only via nothingness, the absolute can be experienced?

True in a sense, Catholic church, Communist parties, Monarchies, big industries,... Although I would say a lot of conditioning has to do with pragmatic survival matters, proper functioning of society, and general lack of education. The most important thing is how you develop yourself. Don't hope for elites to hand you everything on a silver platter.

Even if I see time as illusion, still there is sequence. Life flows as a state of consciousness, allowing things to happen in different specifications, limits,... So, you distinguish between this reality (understandable to a degree) and infinity (not understandable)? If not understanding, can you embody the absolute or shape yourself to reflect it?

Death is already here in a way. The acquired mind is futile and will wane again. And that's the whole point - it seems like awakening is happening over and over again, because sleep and ignorance will set in again and again. It's like night and day.

Cats definitely are frustrated sometimes.

Great saying! You came up with it?
