Hi Leo. First time poster here. While I entirely understand where you are coming from, and agree with you, I would still like to encourage you to open your mind to the possibility that there's much more nuance and love to Lenin than is usually understood across the political spectrum. I know that you're already superhumanly open minded, but having blind spots is just a part of playing the game of being human. If it's okay, I'd like to recommend to you a book about Lenin. It's called "Revolution at the Gates: Selected Writings of Lenin from 1917" by Slavoj Žižek. It entirely changed my view of the man, when I read it soon after it first came out.

I have read several Lenin biographies.

Slavoj Zizek is a communist fool and not to be trusted on such matters.

Algorithms don't prepare anything. They merely maximize profits and clickbait.

On the same day Kirk was shot there was a high school shooting.  Why was the Kirk shooting played up and the high school shooting played down and basically ignored?  After all, he was just a pundit giving his opinions and not that important.  Someone or something in the media consciously makes these decisions.  The algorithm doesn’t make the events, but it does choose which of the continuous stream of events gets amplified by the media and imposed on all of us as something important.

Because no one cares about a school shooting and everyone cares about a political assassination. Use your brains.

Okay but if truth doesn't care about any specific  individual's feelings. How is Truth compassion then? Isn't that a contradiction?

Empathy is a natural consequence of experiencing another's experience. Experience is Truth.

Alright, I’ve changed my thoughts again.

Charlie Kirk was a clueless kleptocratic moron whose half-baked dipshit ideas made the word a far worse place. Fuck him.

It would be funny if Trump turns it into a political rally where his ego takes center stage. 

Well, you sure predicted that, but everyone did

The Lenin biography that you posted on your book list was perfect. I already read it several years ago, but because you posted it on your list, I'm going to read it again.

They'll forget about Kirk in about 6 months.

His wife was probably more advanced than him... .She didn't realize it but here the Bible served her well.  Would he have said the same? I was impressed. It goes to show the Bible has some positive aspects.

It was a murder.  Using the word "assassination" buys into the propaganda.  A youtube pundit that expresses his opinion isn't assassinated.

He isn't open minded at all with politics with his behavior on the forum its no different than how he is with spirituality.  On the spiritual forum he sometimes acts like a spiritual 7 year old.  Sometimes I think he makes his videos on psychedelics because embodiment he surely doesn't have.  And that's OK that's very hard to do.

Okay hold on! 

Charlie was always on the Instagram and YouTube algorithm showing only clips of him debating University trans, and kids pretty much locked into the academic paradigm with very little advanced epistemic and rational skills. Those clips I noticed on the comments section that most people would rally behind him and talk down on the kids arguing with him. It seems like even black people love his position and ideology that he would spill out of his mouth. A lot of black people especially defend him and they even get offended by anyone that disagrees with him or has an opinion about his death, this makes me think. Do people that support him, especially fellow folks among us that aren't that versatile in politics only influenced by his ideas that confirm they're pre existing beliefs and positions? Because if you just seen a random clip of him roasting a trans person on an issue that they have no logic in, I'm sure anybody could get behind him and agree and even support him without really looking much further into his politics, ideology and his entire world view.

It could be that the people whoever they are that follow him and love his college debate will be left with the impression of him being an absolutely good person and a selfless person that was telling the truth. This is very concerning because you cannot even talk to these people anymore because everything is so heated and tense

Maybe i am wrong but I think his views on transgenders was one of the most distorted of them all.  Bless his soul.  But didn't he demonize it?  This shows the issues with Christianity.  His wife was willing to forgive his death but she would still condemn a transgender.  That to me demonstrates the sickness of religion.   Of course the Bible is open to interpretation.

She didn't forgive shit. It was totally performative - signaling virtue as if she's some saint. These people operate under delusions that are hard for more conscious people to fathom.

Hmm.  Do you think she could get up there if it was written for her.  That would be truly soulless.  No if that were the case she would have demonized like Trump.  I think it was sincere but I have been wrong before.

She could have written it herself. I'm surrounded by Christians. I know how they virtue signal. And I know an actor when I see one. I can snuff bullshit out a mile away, and she was full of shit. Her spiritual ego is fucking massive. Blows my mind how people didn't see anything other than that.

I mean i haven’t seen the speech or event. But she probably is trying to forgive the killer. Because she wants to be a "good Christian" but she probably can’t forgive. It’s just kind of spiritual bypassing.
