Female abuse case in point: saying your not hungry then stealing my food like a racoon.

I'm starting to feel that Trump in power is actually quiet dangerous (some of you will say "duh"). His behavior is undermining western hegemony. Completely backwards.

I guess I shouldn't feel happy when my mom tells me she is proud of me. Its like accepting a compliment from a cardboard box.

How many women do you talk with in general? Family, work, etc.? Its obvious that they are just people when you interact with them in my experience. Like, is the nurse that is just doing her job when she helps you at the doctors just an object? genuinely? Or when your mom is talking about how exhausted she is from work? perfectly normal interactions. It seems to me that seeing women purely as objects might have a practical element of not having to consider their thoughts and feelings as significant. It could protect you from feeling vulnerable and help justify exploitation (manipulation, rape, violence, etc.)

In my understanding, brutality peaked with red and there has been a general trend of violence becomes less and less as different groups become more interdependent. Orange to Green will be nothing like the example of tribal warfare but there is probably still going to be victims and necessarily so. Transition tends to come off the back of suffering. People have to be squeezed so hard by Stage Orange that their hair literally falls of from pollution and stress, etc. such that the old paradigm becomes definitely untenable. Likewise, Green will transition into yellow when people start dying from political incompetence.

Peaceful transition I believe to be a-historical. Stage Orange is itself not peaceful (industrialized warfare) and didn't truly flourish until after WW2, when European Blue became too exhausting and destructive. Chinese capitalism came of the back of communism where millions died. Currently Stage Orange countries, the US primarily, are keeping current Stage Blue countries in check, primarily Russia and China, from invading their neighbors. Peace is more a feature of geography, interdependent needs and shared values rather than an innate feature of mankind. Conflict is a pervasive feature of this reality and humanity is not a peaceful species. Before man was, war waited for him.

One thing you aren't addressing is how violence is the main driver of societies "merging". For instance, a tribe "merging" with another tribe usually occurs in the way of massacring all men, gangraping the women, killing the babies and abducting the young children so they then can expand the tribe with new members. Its only really the last 100 years that societies forming greater holons tending to be more peaceful, but that is of the back of 100s of years of conflict. Many modern countries and ethnicities where built of the back of ethnic cleansing for instance, like the US or Israel. Conservatism isn't inherently wrong in trying to protect "their" version of society from a human survivalist perspective. The alternative might be destruction.

People are complaining but if this happened during any other time in human history these migrants would simply have been massacred and the killers would be celebrated as heroes. The fact that it is at all a question to use violence against these migrants is itself evidence of how far we've come developmentally.

Geopolitically, humans are kind of like ants. Individually quiet worthless with the exception of high value leaders and personal. A couple of hundreds or thousands annihilated is acceptable in the context of justifiable actions. When it comes to understanding morality in relation to the business of human survival I'll say this, give to Ceasar's the things that are Ceasar's and give to god the things that are god's.

Migration is allegedly being used a tool of war by Russia to pressure and undermine Poland and the EU via Belarus to the East, with the Belarusian president urging migrants to cross the border into the EU. https://www.politico.eu/article/poland-donald-tusk-asylum-right-border-migration-belarus-russia-hybrid-war-eu/ In my opinion, Poland has a right to determine who it lets into its borders. If you are illegally trying to cross into a country then you should expect resistance. The use of force is permissible in my opinion if waved appropriately, like with the this article that states that border may shoot in cases of "self-defense" or as a "preventative manner". There will inevitably be cases of unjust violence but have to see the big picture of maintaining internal security. This is an aspect of Polish society that is not at peace so human rights have less of a say by default (like during war). Its easy to criticize Poland when its not your problem to begin with. The majority of Polish are in support of these policies for instance. https://www.infomigrants.net/en/post/58618/poland-allows-police-to-open-fire-on-migrants-at-the-belarusian-border

Killing combatants during a just war isn't seen as objectively bad nor is killing during self-defence. The lines can be blurred but generally I think its easy to justify those kinds of murder. A more interesting question is if its justified to torture someone you highly suspect to be a terrorist who has allegedly planted a ticking time bomb? Is it objectively bad to torture?

"Objectively" here seems pretty loaded, since what is considered objective can itself be relative, human survival bias being the strongest bias we have (avoid pain, gain pleasure). From a human perspective, rectal bleeding without further context is "objectively" bad because its painful but it could be "good" in the aforementioned context of it being a side-effect of life saving medicine. Therefor, rectal bleeding isn't objectively bad but it can seem so depending on your perspective. In the same sense, its not objectively bad if a rogue sniper meteorite hits your head and kills you. Practically, in the business of being human, rectal bleeding is "objectively bad" in most cases but it can change meaning depending on the context because it is not inherently bad outside of a human perspective and therefor the meaning can be changed to what suits the human bias. Like giving a car a new coat of paint. The car is still "objectively" metal underneath the paint but the paint makes it appear differently. Rectal bleeding can be funny instead of bad for instance.

Hitler was literally inspired by how America ethnically cleansed the Native population.

"America first" politically isn't even about making the US a better country. Its clear that a lot of the policies that Trump promotes actually undermine the country in the long-term and hurt every day citizen. Its really a bid for power and selling off the economy veiled in a veneer of American exceptionalism. Wanting to control Greenland for instance is primarily about controlling access to the resources there in my opinion without having to deal with for instance annoying pollution rules. The US already has access to using Greenland for military and business purposes without having to pay for the upkeep which Denmark currently does.

Its a huge transformation if real, though there's a heavy use of makeup. All of that work to transition just to end up insecure and self-conscious like dime a dozen women.

You should've told her that you already cast a spell on her.

I used to host group meditations at a school I went to once. A regular one day came with her friend who said she just wanted to observe. After the meditation her friend was grilling me on what meditation is exactly with a tone of suspicion. They where both Christian and she was worried that her friend was doing something satanistic or pagan or whatnot.

Thanks, ChatGPT. Just kidding. I certainly haven't considered connection being a possible important factor in therapy. Makes sense considering people tell you to shop around to find a therapist you gel with. A part of why AI is attractive as well is because its less confronting compared to laying out your insecurities and what not to an actual person and experiencing their reaction.

That's funny because I always feel like I'm arguing with soyboy liberals. I guess hard conservatism tends to be too obvious. I find a lot of lefty views here overly idealistic and removed from reality. In my mind as a plebian, if I had lots of money I would just relax and enjoy life. But I guess I'm not accounting for the kind of mind that it would take to accumulate that kind of wealth or if you where brought up into it.

Maybe you just need to chill out a bit. Not trying come off as judgy or anything.

https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/09/10/439190586/marine-corps-study-finds-all-male-combat-units-faster-than-mixed-units Here's a study that finds that all male combat units have overall better performance. I don't know if this study is possibly out of date or not. The military solves a fundamental and arguably existential problem for society (large scale unregulated violence and tribalism). My stance is that everyone should have the opportunity to enlist but at the end of the day operational function trumps all other concerns. It doesn't matter who's feelings get hurt. Its raw pragmatism.

Its fair to question the militaries methodology when selecting recruits but enlistment is not a privilege at the end of the day. You can be motivated and pass all requirements but still be rejected if the military has no need for you. Recruitment should be on the basis of maintaining operational function. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't see women ever joining special forces for instance besides one in a million freaks of nature when the majority of men already wash out. I don't see there being any factual evidence that trans are necessarilly less fit to serve however and this particular issue dribbles like a ball everytime theres a new president, undoing the policy change of the previous president, which makes me think that its largely ideological. That said, you could perhaps make the argument that it could harm cohesion. A battalion of nazis is going to be less effective if you start inducting Californian hippies into the fold.

I guess I underestimated Musk if that is all true. I thought he was a just cringey edgelord. He must have a pretty wacky worldview to not be content with just being inanely rich. Though we already knew that he's an egomaniac.

Africa is like a hardcore PVP server with permanent survival debuffs. Europe is more like creative mode in comparison (they patched out PVP after the WW2 expansion).
