That’s true. Well because you always talk down on western and European countries. So i thought you can tell us how amazing your country and culture is.

Yea right now it’s hot. Like 32C and i‘m swimming in lakes and rivers every day a lot. It’s so beautiful. But also a lot doesn’t get done because summer is lazy. So autumn etc. are more productive. Yea the colour changes are too pretty. Winter can be a drag but then you know soon it’s spring. In summer it’s more lazy. Beach lakes rivers. Outside esting gelato. Women in bikini or some topless. Parties outside. Cafe freddo. Different vibe. But it wouldn’t be special if all year was like this.

I really do enjoy my four seasons too.

@Twentyfirst don’t be shy

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.

But the ultra rich are so greedy that they probably just leave to Texas or Dubai when the taxes get higher.

I mean it depends where. But probably just temporary. But never say never.

I have lived in Sydney for like 6 months. Nice place.

Then maybe you shouldn’t give it a 10? Or do you like freezing your ass off?

I would say in Europe in many countries it’s comparatively quite well. I mean the human condition already is kind of suffery but it’s ok.

Marching for freedom, LGBT, against repression, against infringement of rights and the Orban government

A very sensitive interesting man with a deep connection to the universe although also troubled.

Haaretz is doing an amazing job. The pressure must be unreal.

Meaning feels energetically heavy. I think that’s mostly the freedom in liberation. Free of meaning.

Meaning. Me-aning. Mean-ing. Meaning is dreaming. Like a semen, floundering like a seamen. Glittering gleaming beaming. Feening for meaning. Sizzling steaming. Scheming. Screaming for meaning. But nobody hears you in outer space. And all of that is meaningless ^ Meaning is meaningless. Ponder that.🤔

King Baldwin never existed. It has no meaning.

Nah

Gosh he’s too nice. When the dems attacked him. When Warren attacked him for being sexist. When Joe fully supported the Don.

Probably around 70% women and children. History will be harsh.

I watched a little bit it was nice. Did Bernie ask Joe why he supported the orange wannabe dictator? And why he’s friends with the autistic twisted mystic aka Muskolini? Probably not, he’s too nice.

Would you like casualty estimates, intensity levels, or a regional geographic map of these conflicts? I can also break them down by wars vs minor clashes using UCDP intensity thresholds.
