Maybe poor hungry people don't have energy to riot? Also it's important to realize the vast majority of people don't read the news, inform themselves, or care about politics. Or if they do they get low quality information from Facebook. This makes it hard for us who do follow the news to understand why the majority act the way they do. Keep on rocking in the free world! -

Leo criticizes Disney in the most recent episode on conformity. I used to hate Disney for being a giant monopoly that pedals garbage on and of the screen. However after considering further I find Disney as merely a successful story telling company that tell stories of triumph, overcoming difficulties, equality, diversity, music, dreams, etc.. Take star wars for example. (I know it didn't start out as Disney) It's still a story about good and evil and how difficult it is for goodness to triumph and how seductive evil can be. These are timeless lessons that are equally as profound as any myth or legend that humans have been telling themselves for millennia. Most other Disney movies are stories about young kids rising up againsts unconscious and evil older people. Aren't stories like these a net benefit for society? Is Disney's only sin is that it's too successful and huge?

Nothing is good or bad. For example, If some people want to wear colorful origami hats on their heads and insist we use the pronoun "fold/foldself" we should let them despite it being a slight inconvenience to us or society. I think it would be fun if we were free to create our own identities and could dress the way we want and be whoever we want. On the other hand we can't be surprised some people will think this is stupid. Just like many things people do are stupid but allowed. Some arguably stupid things people do and identify with: circumcision, buy expensive purses and watches and cars, join an organized religion, eat meat, eat vegan. These things are almost as much a part of identity as much as gender is. I especially like to think of the parallel between adult circumsion (child circumcision is child abuse) and trans surgery. Both are altering your genitals for your new deeply help identity. So in some sense trans is a delusion in another sense it's freedom of expression. Its interesting to think that men only wear "men's clothes" because of group think, conformity, and tradition. There's nothing inherently manly about a collared shirt and infact a few hundred years ago it was manly to wear skirts. So to truly break out of group think and conformity, like LGBTQ people claim they are doing, would one not care about what clothes one wears and put on anything? Or would they wear whatever clothes they like? -
Are the videos as good as Leo's or better? Do you have to do the Kriya Yoga every day? Does it work to make you feel better?

Yes! I was thinking this but couldn't articulate it. I am certain you are an SD wizard. Thanks again for the great insight on this topic! -

I see what you mean. The Flagrant show, which is a "slightly conservative leaning bro podcast", gave me the idea originally so I'm not surprised it's not very well thought through to the same depth that you did. Yes eating meat is not as bad as slavery. However slavery was once deemed "not so bad" at one point and now it's considered pure evil. I wonder if the same thing will happen to meat eating but that it will never be seen as bad as slavery. These are just nuances and I appreciate your analysis on the matter very thoughtful. I am trying to vegetarian too. And send a link to your channel please. -

So true. It's really hard to justify eating meat. I wonder in the future if the progressives will take down statues of famous people because they are meat. (Similar to how they do that with slave owners today!) You are very good at articulating your thoughts in general. Are you an author or something? You are very impressive. -

Another great point. All your points are really good. Thanks for taking the time to analyse this video. Clearly SD is a helpful way to see the world. -
enchanted replied to enchanted's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Great point! You really clarified this topic for me @OmniNautyou really know SD well. Yes the apologizing is almost unbelievable -

That's a great point. And I also agree 100% with the speakers in the video. It's just fun to watch stage green tie itslef into knots to try and be multicultural and not oppressive. They have clearly made a shadow of "white colonialist" aka "the white devil". But if multiculturalism/post modernism is true then "white colonial" is just another valid perspective with lots of advantages and disadvantages. I think the presents are way ahead of their time (compared to the average person) but I'm glad they are trying to awaken the species to higher values and greater consciousness. -

Yes this the situation that young people are facing throughout the western world. A few reasons are: decades of outsourcing jobs, wealth concentration by the wealthy, and 3rd world population booms that compete for resources with wealthier countries. Also our genius parents and grandparents decided to fund everything on credit and live well beyond their means for the future generations to pay the debt. We are the future generation that is being stuck with the bill. Interestingly, Europe colonized/owned the world and then it cannibalized itself with two unnecessary world wars that forced them to decolonize. Arguably It's been a slow decline since then (despite the few years of post war boom).
