Revolutionary Think

Exactly. I see so many shmucks in the West that are basically useful idiots for them.

@Mohammad are you getting all the news of the buildings blowing up and the regime blaming it on gas leaks?

Thanks stay safe out there.

Nice. I didn't even care for validation or positive reinforcement after I wrote this but, the ones who know know and the ones who don't it's none of my concern to enlighten them. Now I'm mostly using YouTube for practical and entertainment purposes but, never to be tribal and find videos I agree with politically or philosophically and argue in the comment section. A giant wast of my time and energy.

It's kind of funny and sad at the same time but, in a good way. In my childhood I felt so hurt and angry about all the things going on beyond my control that I wish were in my control so I just got mad and complained about them. I used to believe in being the good guy and getting involved and self development "making it" "becoming rich / known / respected / understood / validated etc etc.). Then I realized all the toxicity in all of it. When I started removing myself from so many things on the internet. Even this forum and other things. I deleted instagram, I deleted facebook, I deleted a whole bunch of my old emails lol. I just kept removing. Removing people from my contacts, removing things inside my place I wasn't using anymore, removing the need to be seen, removing the need to compare myself to anyone, removing the need for a mentor / teacher, removing my need to be agreed with online THAT'S THE BIG ONE! I got something that I never got before. A sense of peace and stability that I didn't have since I was a kid and both my parents were married. This has helped me remember I'm talking for myself than any of Leo's videos and in addition are the other stuff out there online. I was born into this world without my consent and since I started on that premise I started realizing I owe nothing to anyone. I don't even owe my past self that had all those dreams and aspirations anything either. Once I got to the core of that and started to understand the randomness of life and how things just happen and how some things are just beyong my control and the more I want things to go a certain way the more pain and frustration I introduce in my life. Then that slave driver in my head that kept telling me to do more and be more died. I've never felt better.

For sure my parents are from Iran and I speak fluent Parsi. They came here to dumb Los Angeles, CA where there's nothing but, traffic and homeless people lol. I always wondered about going back but, there's no way in hell I would because I see almost every Iranian American that goes back is arrested for spying and then used as a bargaining chip for this piece of shit regime. So I can only really see Iran on video and not in person it's a real shame. About Trump ya there are practical and logistical concerns and life is not a video game where you can just push a button and it all changes. I'm guessing that if he were to do a limited strike with no plan then the regime would just go crazy launch a ton of missiles definitely at Israel and maybe at some of the Arab countries and if the right defenses weren't in place it would be a disaster and at the same time if not enough offensive capability wasn't in place either it wouldn't be enough for a strike to finish the job which would also be a disaster. If that was the case that fat idiot shouldn't have sent that message. There should've just been better cordination somehow with him and the protestors. I know people are thinking it gave the people of Iran hope and made then excited to go out into the streets but, these are human lives not chess pieces on a board I don't think that it's right. The thing about Trump is that he changes his mind on a whim like a fool and doesn't think about the day after and what kind of effect it has. During the 12 day war he said regime change is a good idea then immediately changed his mind and said it was too messy. One thing he did I think that was freaking terrible was when after the US got rid of the Fordo and Isfahan site (and one other hardened nuke site I can't remember maybe Natanz) was that he told Israel to STOP. Israel was also going to take out Khamenei and he didn't let it happen either. It's like he has a split personality. Unreliable douche! I really think that during 2022 the Iranian people really had a chance then we saw that go away. It's just so freaking annoying how this has all been working out. Like in 2025 during the 12 day war the Iranians could've came out on the streets too and then the regime would've really had it's hands full but, I think it's easier said than done and I'd understand why people wouldn't want to come out at a time of war. I think that the best thing was the US NOT getting involved in the 12 day war to hit those hardened structures especially Fordow. If that didn't happen Israel would've had the excuse to keep bombing the regime when it didn't have any air defenses until the regime was weak enough for Israel to do some kind of special operation to take out those places. Or even better if Israel didn't have the capability to take out Fordow and Natanz they could've just bombed the regime to non-existence so instaed of getting rid of the place there was just no regime to use it anymore lol. That would've been the optimal outcome in my perspective. Anyway I just hope these talks go nowhere and all that American firepower in the Sea doesn't go to waste and final removes the regime. I can understand the people too and their reluctance to go to the streets with these evil psychopathic barbarians and their Arab proxy friends patrolling it. I just hope the US, Israel (or any other country but, most of the Europeans seem to be cowards) can hit the repression centers and target the people doing the repression and then the people of Iran can finally get rid of these sh*t sucking Mother F**king assholes. I know I used harsh words but, that's the kind of words these mass murderers deserve.

@Mohammad Best of luck I could only imagine the kind of suffering and uncertainty going on over there. I understand all the anger and the frustration. I wanted to ask if any of you feel betrayed by President Trump opening up his big mouth (in this case typing with his small hands either on a computer or even cell phone) telling everyone help is on the way and then later to keep protesting and take over the institutions. Then his big fat ass didn't act on his message. Then he dragged it out sent in the strike group and now he's doing these stupid talks with the regime in Oman. What do you think of all the people saying bombing you isn't saving you. I think it's incredibly stupid. Surgical strikes and carpet bombing AREN'T THE SAME THING. If I knew there was someone in my neighborhood with weapns 5 or 6 miles away from me planning to use those weapons to kill me and if any plane came by and bombed his house well his house ISN'T MY HOUSE a big different between levelling the entire neighborhood or nuking the f-ing place lol. These scum are willing to kill the entire country just so they can stay in power. How is it on the streets now. I know the regime invited their foreign proxies to shoot and kill people. Any chance people can defend themselves with more than motolov cocktails? Does the Artesh not have weapons they can use or does the IRGC just have the way bigger guns? I'm wondering even if the protest stops if the country shuts down and no one goes to work, people are on general strike and no one is paying taxes maybe the regime can just collapse like that instead of tons of blood shed on the street just maybe a general will for people to not participate in the system at all leaving the government not functioning. Just an idea, Anyway best of luck stay safe out there.

@Mohammad I agree with most of what you say but, what's the hope of you guys getting rid of these fuck faces if you're all unarmed?

I just find it amazing that everyone lost their minds for Gaza with the death toll of this so called 40,000 happening in months if not a couple years and the same death toll in Iran happens in not more than 2 weeks and no ones batting an eye. Not even... @Leo Gura PURE HYPOCRISY because it doesn't fit into a narrow potitical idealogy that US bad and allies bad everyone else good. PATHETIC!

Also the Free Palestine crow is silent about it too bunch of sick mindless hypocrites. She does a great explanation on it.

@Breathe I was there too in a heavy contemplation mode but, then doing is so so so much better than constantly thinking about it and 2nd guessing yourself!

So you were contemplating this you haven't done it.

Cool what parts have you visited so far, for how long, and what part did you like the most?

Yes but, to be completely honest I'm over simpflying my situation and embellishing a bit. I can also get a stamp for another 30 days but, this visis is a test run. I want to go back home collect my PS5 and bring it to Thailand. Mull over my options for a condo and not do it willynilly. I have been to Vietnam as well but, and came back so I got another 60 days that I still haven't exhausted. I also have my car lease that expires in March and I need to give that back. So I got back to tie some loose ends and come back here later. Also if you do too my "border runs" they find it suspicious and crack down on it.

Good point. I love loved living in a high rise as a kid. I lived in LA somewhere called the Wilshire Corridor. Then we moved out and I lived right next to Beverly Hills High School. Then after the divorce of my parents I lived in Bel Air. I HATED it because it was truly boring. Nowhere to go without a car. I felt like a prisoner in a gilded cage. Fast Forward to Today. I saw these videos on Thailand where you can get a fancy high rise for 1/10th or 1/15th even of those rip offs in the US. So I came here December 5th. So far so good I love it here. I was in a hotel with an awesome view. Lived in a condo for a while but, not the "cool ones" I saw before just the 6th floor when I would really like a 36th floor. So many things this country doese is so much more efficient than the US and really nice. Today I fly back to the US at night because Thailand only lets you stay maximum 60 days without a visa. I've made so many friends in Thailand who are property people and have great deals. Now I see the US as the past and South East Asia as the future. The US is only a place now that I make plans for the future in another country. I hate the US not because of politics but, because it's boring as hell and not innovative for shit. Before anyone says why not move to another city or state etc. Ya that's because I don't want to get ripped off. Almost every state is a rip off espcially the boring ones in the middle of the country that are cheaper than LA SF NY Seattle Miami etc. You get a whole bunch of nothing for a big price. Here though I get amazing things and see amazing people for small prices. That's a way better deal and I'm so happy I took this chance and did this test run.

The only time it got better was a few years after 2020 because of the virus. The economy and jobs opened up more and I got a job at the airport. I really enjoyed it. Don't have that job anymore would rather not get into it but, I've saved enough money to start a new life in another country if I feel like it.

I think my childhood was horrible despite not having to deal with poverty. It was the poverty of belonging that really hurt me growing up. Yet, I can't help but think that this is why I felt that @Leo Gura generalises a lot about the audience so it's funny when I feel like when he does the audience generalising and the audience scolding thing he's not talking to me. Of course it's not possible to address every individual viewer so I'm sure he's going for the LCD. It's amazing because when he was talking about rich people and their gala's and how they like wine I related to it so much because when I was young I saw it and I couldn't stand it. As a child I was very quiet and HATED small talk. I just wanted to be left alone to play my video games. I think the reason I enjoyed video games so much is because there was a reason to it. Like a task / level needed to be completed and you could to a lot of exploring. There was a mission and there was fun. Then I just thought real life wasn't as interesting and exciting because it just seemed so boring. Yet, my life was OK it wasn't amazing and it wasn't terrible. Then BAM my parents divorced leaving me in this state of shock and frustration. We lived in the city and I enjoyed seeing the city lights outside my window and I can remember being the happiest when I looked out the window at the city lights. My mom said ok so me and your dad aren't going to live together and you and me are living with grandma and grandpa. My heart sank to my stomach because grandma and grandpa's house was a place to visit not to live. They lived in Bel Air and Bel Air SUCKED! Yet, it was in a very rich area up in the hills with houses as far as the eye could see. No stores, no shops, no gyms, no nothing. You had to drive a couple blocks just for human connection that wasn't your immediate family. I couldn't stand it. Yet, most people I talked to told me I had no right to say anything because since I lived in an area that only rich people have access too I should just shut up and consider myself priveledged. That just made me feel worse. School was no better I felt bored, frustrated, and misunderstood. I started noticing things about myself. I hated loud parties, I never got the point of why people liked alcohol, and everytime people would talk about pop culture I felt like it was nails on a chalkboard. I was labeled in school as ADD ADHD Aspergers now what they call autism spectrum disorder etc. the world just saw me as something to be fixed never as a person to be understood and it stung a lot and I spent so much of my childhood brooding in anger and hate because of the lack of help and truly being seen. I honestly couldn't stand it when celebrities were interviewed for their opinions. I got so mad that the world paid attention to such trivial shit instead of talking about how to improve the human condition and what being here all means (so obviously that's what attracted me to Leo's content). It all culminated in 8th grade when we had something called community circle. We'd pass this stuffed bear around and whoever got the bear it was their turn to speak. I got the stuffed bear and just went off on the school. I said it was oppressive, boring, not inspiring, and why do we have teachers who hate what they do and announce how much they hate it to the entire class. I said a lot of things and by the end of it most students were clapping for me. I let that go to my head later in my life by chasing validation from others until I finally stopped. Although I could always feel something as a kid something wasn't right why does our culture worship narcissists and celebrities instead of honoring people like inventors, scientists, philosophers etc. (well growing up in a place like LA it was even worse). Then when graduating college around the 08 recession and having tons of trouble even getting a basic retail job I just hated society with a burning passion. Like everything I was told as a kid about getting good grades which I did get mostly As and Bs was just one big fat lie. I enrolled in this course called JumpCut Academy (later I kinda realized it was a scam) to make it big on YouTube. I met this young guy named Jeet funny enough who had a YouTube channel called SimplyJeet I told him how I think there are these big societal problems in the schooling system and the job market in general that the news media doesn't talk about and how disgusting it is that the most narcissistic people in the world are getting all the attention while people like me who have a real genuine message get neglected and overlooked. That's when he mentions your (Leo Gura's) channel on YouTube and that's how I ended up here and I haven't spoken to Jeet in over 5 years we just grew apart (this is before all of Leo's awakenings etc.) All I can remember after my parents divorce and the way my mind worked for always questioning things is being profoundly disappointed in life and always questioning why things were the way they were and why people who weren't narcissists and attention whores got all the attention while people who just wanted to help and/or discorver things about reality were ignored and not given a crap about by the mainstream. Going back to the title of this post that's why I wonder. I wonder if the crap didn't hit the fan in my life if I would've discovered this place or been a conformist. I guess even if things didn't go as bad as they did my tendancy even before my parents divorce to hate pop culture, not enjoy school, and dislike loud music and big parties would've lead me here anyway?

I almost forgot when Leo talked about being creative I remember that at a young age I created an entire world to myself. Well anyway. I created this critique of modern society: I also created this idea of a city I'd love to live in if I could create it myself:

@Leo Gura OK fine. Palestinians are not entitled to land just because Israelis have a bunch of it. That's not how things work.

You might find this crazy but, neither do I. If Jews had a ton of countries and owned almost all of the middle east and they wanted a tiny strip of land near the mediterrean sea I wouldn't think that would be a good thing. If Jews raised their children to want to murder Arabs and Muslims and explicitly put that in their media I would be against them. If Jews owned almost 90% of the middle east and then wanted a tiny piece of it I wouldn't be on their side. If Jews voted in an organization that explicitly went after women and children killed raped tortured them and then held them hostage I'd be against it as well. If the religions were reversed and it were the Muslims with a tiny piece of land that they could call their home and the Jews didn't even want that then I wouldn't be for that. I don't automatically support Israel because I am Jewish. I just see how much land is afforded to the Arabs and Muslims how they treat it and what they do with it. Then Israel has this tiny Jewish state that's nothing compared to all the land in North Africa and the rest of the middle east and somehow that's considered too much. Context is also important here. I don't live in Israel I live in the United States born to Iranian parents. I wonder why so far you've said nothing against the Iranian regime and the way they treat their own people. Like during the women life freedom movement I wonder if anything about what was going on over there was even talked about. Yet, somehow when Israel is involved they're always the bad guy.

@Ramasta9 interesting. So deep web stuff you'll have to just put in the website not have to google anything. Or is it more than that?

Look in a mirror lately?
