  1. Stopped reading there. Lies again and again. Boring. Who is helping the most in the world? Who is building hospitals? Who made the red cross? Who is building animal shelters? Who abolished slavery. Who gives vaccines to the world. Who came up with human rights?Well mostly the west.
  2. Reading your post was a waste of time. Thanks and bye. And after reading it i have less respect for your cause again.
  3. That was always the case. Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Mayans, Persians, Ottomans, Europeans, Japanese, Chinese, Muslims, Christians, Americans and so on. A lot of good things. We like their foods. We respect China for being and ancient culture and inventions. We like Rumi and so ln. But if there’s rivalry and competition then there’s rivalry. It’s ingrained kind of. Look at sports. I mean i do agree that the hegemony of the west won’t and shouldn’t go on. Especially the US. Europe after world war 2 hasn’t been so hungry for power and whatnot. Less than Chinese and others imo. But what should come after the west is the question. Imo certainly not Islam, authoritarian Chinese style, Russian oligarchy or something. So then who will lead it better? I don’t see anybody.
  4. Because i find it annoying and bratty. I would also get a bit annoyed if someone always ever only mentioned everything bad about chinese or arabs or whatever and never mentioned anything good. Do you think you can change anybody’s mind with your comments on the internet or something? I don’t think so you make me disrespect your cause and such more actually. Also the women in Iran probably get suppressed more by Islam and their government than the west. Although the sanctions are bad. But in a way you’re holding the west to a much higher standard which is funny.
  5. Aren’t you a little bit thankful that your mother didn’t die of polio or infections? And yea i‘m not the guy using the internet (a beautiful invention) To write crap about arabs. You‘re the guy using the internet everyday to write crap about the west.
  6. Nice. The west also has an unusual amount of inventions, vaccines and so on. Everything you use almost.
  7. You could say the same thing about every state in a way. They need state, police, jails, laws, fines, power to keep the population in check.
  8. What about Vienna have you been there? Cool beautiful city and big and culturally interesting. Other nice ones Madrid, Barcelona, Lisbon, Lyon, Rome, Budapest and so on.
  9. Germany generally is cheaper than many countries in western Europe. Aside from some southern German cities like Munich etc. One of their sayings is „geiz ist geil“ which means something line stingyness is so hawt. It‘s no accident that many of the discounters like Lidl, Aldi. Müller etc. are german.
  10. Why is it shocking? Milan is the most expensive city in Italy. While Berlin is barely in the top 5 expensive cities in Germany. I also really like Milan.
  11. Temple of Concordia and fallen Ikarus
  12. I pay 87€ per month or 790€ a year in the city.
  13. i prefer Amsterdam. But i‘ve only visited Berlin once and Amsterdam a few times. But its just a preference.
  14. Hihi There really isn’t right or wrong. But this here is very very very very wrong.
  15. I think this is my second or third last.
  16. Tim Pool the Russian mule. Moscow asshat and asset. A man and a beenie. next.
  17. It’s just attention whoring. Not much else.
  18. And especially and most importantly. The Eurovision song contest.
  19. A 100 million were killed in China during the great leap forward and cultural revolution. China and India just never really had the technology to kill each other like the Europeans had 70 years ago, China and India are just now catching up barely. I mean China is India not.
  20. Notice how you don’t have free will to choose and believe in free will or not. Goes both ways.
  21. So seemingly at some point in early childhood the egoic structure seem to take a more dense form. Especially with some traumatic experiences. For example someone says your laugh is ugly then you try to hide or change the way you laugh or just laugh less as it seems more safe. Or you get the impression or being taught that you need to suppress your anger or be less sensitive. So as a safety mechanism, to fit in etc. you try to change and control yourself basically through beliefs. Then other things get built on top self protection mechanism and so on. So then you get more constricted, contracted, controlled, depressed. The idea of time itself also deepens and contracts more. The more traumatic experiences the more the egoic structure seemingly becomes a control freak for self and others. At some point the protection mechanisms might cause too much suffering so maybe you try to ease up with drugs or alcohol or something. Anyway at some point there might be a glimpse that it doesn’t necessarily need to be this way. So then you might try to untangle yourself from beliefs and constrictions and control. Which is quite complex. Especially if some trauma is involved. Ego is basically control through thoughts and beliefs. So the amount of control the ego can let go of control is the amount of freedom to be had. But it’s letting go into the unknown. Which the ego basically can’t. So basically all comes down to grace or luck whether and how much these structures soften. The end.
  22. Yea that stands and falls with the notion of free will. I resonate with the kind of radical nonduality which implies that there isn’t free will. There are seemingly decisions but for no one really. But it doesn’t really matter already i don’t have the free will to do or stop inner work as i’m drawn to it with a strong resonance and kind of addiction actually. Is there free will in having a resonance with something or being inspired by something. Not that’s also grace or tough luck. I could ne addicted to gambling also.
  23. Maybe it’s side effects of the medication mixed with depression and the dissolvement of the structure of self. Those meds are pretty strong and pretty sure low libido for example is listed as a side effect.
