  1. I mean I guess it depends on how you define hero. Is it someone in a position of power over others who uses the power wisely? Is it someone who makes a non selfish decision? Is it someone who keeps his humanity in a non human time? Someone who risks their own safety and wellbeing for others? I said the woman because she offered herself to the soldiers instead of her daughter. But yea i’m sure there were many heroes in the concentration camps who tried to make life more bearable for others and so on.
  2. I don’t really have an opinion who was the biggest hero. It’s just a story at this point imo. Maybe a Nazi who disobeyed orders or recently i’ve heard stories of many french women were raped by american soldiers, some of their men were shot by these soldiers. American soldiers wanted to rape a young french woman/girl but her mother offered herself instead. Thy raped her at gun point. Maybe she was the biggest hero.
  3. All of that is just an opinion not “truth” You don’t know what should have could have would have happened. Were they proud and strong? Sure. So were the Germans. And many say bombing Dresden the way it was (mostly women and children) was a crime against humanity. But it wasn’t nuked either. History is written by the victor and a lot of that “it was the only way” type of stuff is just a story.
  4. Or like a separate self Basically an Ego is seemingly bound by beliefs, thoughts, energetic pulls, traumas, defense mechanisms etc. we can’t really say it exists, it’s a construct, you could say it’s illusory. Same with ideologies and countries etc. we can’t say they exist or don’t exist. It’s a construct. With countries there are borders which are basically just lines, they can change and do. (For example if we look at Israel/Palestine) And then it’s a construct of ideas, beliefs, peoples, traumas etc. and it’s held together by law, armies, currency etc. There’s a lot of stuff like hypocrisy, confirmation bias, narcissism, cognitive dissonance in egos and countries and ideologies etc. The human and the let’s say country or ideology also have a shadow. And similarly the shadow is hard to confront. You could say woke ideology is part of the shadow of Western Society for example. But woke ideology itself also has a shadow which is hard to confront for itself. For example Germany seemingly was forced to confront its WW2, holocaust etc shadow. But in a way what they learned from it is to fully support the Jewish state no questions asked let’s say and not to be against any and every oppression. I feel like (and that’s just an opinion and maybe not true) countries and ideas like China, Russia, Islam etc. haven’t even really began to confront their shadow. While “some” western entities have done more but there’s also endless hypocrisy and defense mechanisms, cognitive dissonance and so on. Anyway it’s not deep stuff i’m just at the spa ranting.
  5. It’s not going anywhere because it already “is” no becoming
  6. You know the self or the seperate self or the ego always has this idea of getting somewhere. Of getting something someday. Of some day there will be “me” who is good or safe or happy or ok or better at least. This path. Could be healing traumas. Could be monetarily. Could be socially. Could be spiritual to get enlightenment. Could be knowledge. Could be helping others. It could be anything. But what if it’s an illusion. If there’s no goal even. All the goals are an illusion. If there’s nowhere to get to. Because there’s no one and no thing and no time. So what if this isn’t going anywhere. (But not “not going anwhere as a new goal) Full stop.
  7. It’s funny how people always wait for the end of the trilogy of WWs Three’s a charm after all.
  8. No. But i like Jesus. And some of the older stories are cool like Adam and Steve can be seen as an allegory to non duality. Gaining knowledge of separation, being cast out of Eden, naked and afraid and so on.
  9. That’s why Jesus was quite neat you know what i mean. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you – The Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12). Blessed are the meek, the merciful, the peacemakers… – From the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3–10). Forgive others, and you will be forgiven (Luke 6:37). Turn the other cheek – Respond to wrongs with nonviolence (Matthew 5:39). Store up treasures in heaven, not on earth (Matthew 6:19–21). Let him who is without sin cast the first stone – On mercy and humility (John 8:7).
  10. I guess we’ll never know. Bomb first ask questions later.
  11. I don’t have an interest in debating you sorry. It’s fine i’m not even saying you’re wrong. My point is i won’t support that crap.
  12. I’m from Europe. Who is hateful? I’m PurplePee the leper King
  13. Alright you think it’s great and all. Good luck with your great epistemology and debating skills. I don’t really have an interest in convincing you either way.
  14. Having intellectual honesty by following pathological liars and crooks into another war? How many iraqis died? You’re funny
  15. And they are not even your allies ouchie. Here talking about the gullibility of Americans.
  16. Yea and also the guy in the video cannot be trusted in any way shape or form. He lies like in the video. He kills Palestinians in droves (women and children). The International criminal court has a warrant for this guy. Many Israelis are protesting against him and his gang. He’s corrupt. He wants to drag the US into more endless wars against his enemies. I could go on.
  17. He makes good points but imo far too lenient with Putin and Russians etc. Those guys are kgb liars who try to destabilise the EU by supporting far right extremists etc. I never hear jeffy talk about that.
