  1. i care about making society less divisive i don't care about joining a tribe in this conflict and then go to war with the other tribe
  2. the first video had some great points the last video i'm not so sure about thanks for posting them though i learned something
  3. i just feel like most of those terms put people in boxes and it doesn't really help "she's a karen" "she's a woman of color" "he's an anti-vaxxer" "he's a libtard" "she's the victim" "he's a colonialist" i feel like americans especially love those terms and boxes (not just them obviously) and it shows in the climate of your society now i'm not enlightened or anything etc. there are many things that trigger me and that i'm trying to work on
  4. i'm going the middle/center path here, like buddhism if both sides are fighting imo the only sensible thing is to go to the center if you want peace and i don't care for this dumb conflict
  5. As i posted before asians make the most money in the U.S. not whites. Now it's not all about the money obviously but thats probably the biggest part of privilege imo. If it makes you happy to call yourself a "woman of color" then that's cool, but imo that's another rather useless term. "woman of color" what does that even mean, you're a non white woman? ook to me you're just a person, not a "karen" and not a "woman of color"
  6. You're comparing covid to WW2 and people who don't want the vaccine to Nazis? I find that a bit problematic to say the least. And if the virus mutates you'll blame the people who are critical of the vaccine anyways but yea even the Nazis who died in war deserve a bit of compassion imo Also maybe "they" are misinformed/confused/dumb/egoistic etc. maybe you're right But maybe it's you who's on the "wrong" side if there is such a thing, have you ever thought about that?
  7. you might ? well i'm unsure if it's just the essence that's the same or if all of it is totally you also hitler, trump a pig in a slaughterhouse etc.
  8. i'd prefer it if news were more boring and more truthful than the crap that you have now which is unnecessarily divisive and could cause a civil war at some point let's come back to the center boys and girls f the fringes
  9. 50K isn't nothing also if many people hear "this youtuber is running a cult" they'll click on it
  10. she seems normal in your opinion. but she was very angry and overreacting, very easily triggered. but i get it a little bit, she's very much into politics also now she basically hates yoga and meditation and is especially critical of the people who practice it, while she used to like it. well she doesn't hate all meditators she just thinks it's useless lovey dovey stuff
  11. but in the video he also basically said lets be inclusive for non hindus (that means nothing though) and drop the caste system (that seems pretty progressive)
  12. what do you consider a small dose. also how did you work on the purpose of healing sad etc. while on a small dose, did you just meditate and think about it, listen to youtube meditations, contemplate etc. or did you force yourself into social situations etc. while on a small dose?
  13. clout chasing? oh yesss
  14. well i envy you a bit did anything specific help you overcome it or just time and a culmination of things
  15. that's what i'm saying, so we don't need specifically a term for white women doing it or else its...........racism also pls drop the term "white old men"
  16. sure but there's also a pattern of black people beating asians up in ny and sf on the streets lately (that's on youtube) and there is also a pattern of asian store owners/clerks following black people around in stores and being in a way disrespectful to those black people. and there are many other patterns do we need also specific names for those patterns as well? i think not let's just also call them a-holes and c***s
  17. yea for example the woman i talked to yesterday said that. and also when the first protests started the media portrayed the protesters all as right wingers there is some truth to it in so far that there are many right wingers at the protests and the right wing parties are probably going to try to capitalise on the anger of the people who are critical of the vaccine and authority. just like trump capitalised on the anger of the people who voted obama and expected more change (yes we can) but there are apparently also many lefties at the protests and people from all races so it's just not the truth.
  18. also what's funny about it is that fringes on both sides basically accuse each other to be nazis and fascists the "antis" because the restrictions are basically fascism/nazism etc. and they make dumb holocaust comparisons and the "pros" because everybody who doesn't want it is basically a nazi and far right
  19. for example i've seen many of her videos on palestine which i agree with (to the extend that i'm informed, i don't know that much about the situation) but i've never heard her talk about the problems within islamic countries or areas like womens rights, lgbtq safety, that for example christians have less rights in palestine than muslims etc. and i've also heard her go at the u.s. (empire ), which i also mostly agree with but i haven't heard her criticise russia and china enough and there are many things to be criticised about those two also
  20. i think she's a bit one sided too though or maybe i haven't heard enough of her
  21. i do somewhat agree with that but there are levels to this imo foxnews is just straight up dumb in your face propaganda, while other channels are smarter at it like maybe cnn is very subtle and thus also sneakier in a way.
  22. ok but why do you specifically need a term for an "entitled white woman" or whatever it stands for? can you not just call her an a hole or c**t?
  23. there's truth in every religion i believe, from egyptian mythology up to something like even scientology. but is it still "jewish" enlightenment when he learned a lot of his ideas from buddhism, daoism and other eastern knowledge, maybe also other non dual teachings like advaita vedanta? many christians these days also mix christianity and buddhism etc.
