I don´t give a damn whether the Jews want to live in Palestine, they can call it Israel or whatever they want and the Arab can call it Palestine as well, but they must live with the Palestinian as equal citizens, in peace and harmony… the land is for everybody, this nonsensical argument about No, we came here first (from both sides btw) is sooo ridicules. The history of the Palestinian in the last 70 years is just too miserable.

 

Any person actually has the right to live wherever he feels like, I´m very antinationalist, nationalism do nothing but magnifying tribalism (stage purple). Borders will create conflicts and more wars.

I didn’t expect everyone to respond to that ?

Since the subject was brought up, I feel obliged to mention the Maryrmade Podcast's 'Fear and Loathing in the New Jerusalem' series, which felt like an emotional gut punch because of how well the host gets you to empathize with the trauma experienced by both the Israelis and Palestinians in this long and sad conflict.  Really in depth and nuanced take that's a wonderful primer for anyone who wants to learn more about the subject.

because this conflict has affected billions and billions of people the last 70 years, solving it will be the first step to bring peace into the world.

@Fadl very very true.

Bill is full on Blue. John shows that some Blue can have a foul mouth. ead stands for "eat a dick" or as Ben Shapiro would say "Eat a D-word". So vulgar.

@Lyubov I agree with what you said. Israel was formed under a decent cause (escaping the holocaust), but they're using old biblical nonsense to justify evicting Palestinian people from their homes, and they've got America and England to support them.

 

Originally it was colonies of Jewish people there with the minority ethnic group of local jews from the region. They started coming in massive numbers due to the holocaust and buying up land so the Arabs in the region started rioting due to this. I support Israel existing as a country in the terms of its original geography. The world was quite messy during WWII so I understand how it came into existence and the conflict over resources. Today however since some healing has occurred and time has passed it's time to call them out on their expansion and apartheid policy.  The israel/Arab conflict is complex and messy and I realize even with it's original geography land was unfairly taken from many natives.

That's nationalism for ya in a nutshell.

Ironic how today's Israelis behave like Nazis.

People get lost in the content differences while not seeing the structural similarities. The problem with Nazis was not their content but their structure.

Blue looking at sissy Green emotional stuff

i came across this quote in 'Words Without Music: A Memoir ' a book about the life of composer Philip Glass (Who himself definitely is in stage green!).

The quote goes as follows: 'Kinder, Küche, Kirche'

This quote was used when he was telling about how his mother was a woman who could be considered a first generation feminist and who didn't want to abide by the standard gender roles.

The quote itself  is like the epitome of stage blue!

I’ve heard Fox News Bribed to get on stations originally. How true is this?

Powerful and heartbreaking documentary about an American military family. The father is textbook stage Blue who potentially was beginning to move into Orange when tragedy struck and set him back.

So that settles it. Westboro baptist church is less hateful than the KKK lol:

Healthy vs toxic blue (or at least a guy acting toxic blue - he could be stage green in real life)

[Leo Gura]

@Matt1576 Great example! Healthy Blue does exist.

Thanks @Leo Gura Been watching your videos for around 4 years since I was 15 - back when I myself was heavily stage blue/Christian.

This actually brought a tear to my eye

Text book case of a stage thinking it is above a stage when it is actually below it. Progression is seen as regression (explicitly stated in the title) and regression as progression. Also you can pretty much play stage-blue-vocabulary bingo with this one  I love the fact that he uses the phrase "swing the pendulum" in the beginning, just like Leo often does in SD-videos
