Oh yeah the man was a prophet of peace, I’m not putting it on him. 👍

Does left and right just mean prosocial Vs antisocial? What do these directions used as political labels even mean? Are they useful labels?

Completely eyeballed it but I included every Western imperialist project that was done with Bible in hand and chanting variations of “Deus Vult”, so that’s large chunks of Asia, most of Africa, all of Latin America, and every Western incursion on West Asia from the Crusades to Iran today. And let’s not forget the pagan persecution in the West itself by the Romans. That’s a shit ton of people through the ages, right?

Jesus, by far. The people who have been murdered in his name is probably close to or over a good billion, right?

He’s not really a “foundational figure of Christianity” though, his image was just co-opted by the Roman empire which then created the religion also co-opting the actual “Jewish revival” Jesus was at the core of (bringing the fundamentals of monotheism back into mind and expanding the teachings to everyone, not just a small select community).

“So let’s bomb them to the stone ages, that’s the right thing to do!”

The only reason this kind of stuff is posted by Western media, ofc.

Respectfully, wtf is “food culture”? Is the fascination with taking food pics for Insta and going to popular restaurants you see on TikTok that have great decor and selfie backgrounds? I think it’s ridiculously performative and for silly people.

If you meant “what are your hot takes about food?”, then idk, I think I have pretty lukewarm ones, lol (“Chinese > Italian > Indian” for popular cuisines around the world, for instance).

Genocide enabler, lol.

“Proscribed group due to it using violence.” But nvm Israel and whoever supports them, right?

My guy, the UK created Israel as a settler colonial project and innocents have been murdered and oppressed for decades, and your take is “they should be stopped, they’re going into companies (that directly support the Zionist project)!”. Just say you don’t care about non-Whites and that the status quo should be maintained regardless of the lives lost to it, at least you’d be honest.

Having a Western-aligned (America and vassal states) leader in close proximity to a nation who has not submitted yet is certainly part of the plan, always, but could the admin truly be incompetent enough to fuck it up for themselves? Or is Orban just being replaced by a different puppet and we’re spectating the theatrics of democracy, no more, no less? I think seeing things as “removing Orban is good for Europe” (and whatever other alternative is “bad for Europe”) is a bit oversimplified.

It’s literally that simple, but many Westerners who choose to be one of/on the side of the world’s villains don’t seem to grasp it and I don’t know why.

Too religious/“old-fashioned” for some .ml communities, too autistically principled and anti-Western for Reddit and similar e-spaces. 😭

I feel pretty comfy on Lemmy all in all though, I can’t lie.

Everything is military/war oriented. Remember the “war on drugs”? They can’t comprehend the world except from a perspective of opposition and control. 🤷🥲

TIL, but I think I’m too old to put into practice, haha.

Indeed. ✊

👏

Is there anything you want to do or be, so badly, that would move you to act despite the distractions?

Yeah, that’s why, I’m a Muslim man!

I can’t just say that ironically or mockingly, haven’t you read my username? 😅

“These GODLESS, EVIL people in the Iranian REGIME couldn’t accept my simple requests and don’t want to work for peace, even though I tried very hard, everybody’s saying that. So, even though I don’t want to, we might have to SEND THEIR COUNTRY TO THE STONE AGE. Blood for the blood god, skulls for the skull throne! Thank you for your attention to this matter. - The Big Don”

Did I do it right? 🙏

I wonder what percentage of Western lemmings can actually say they have at least these “simple” things (excluding the last few points, of course).

Another lemming posted some data already but I guess, intuitively, it makes sense: no responsibilities and usually taken care of -> some responsibilities without the PFC/maturity necessary to handle them efficiently but you still somewhat prioritise and have time for fun-> even larger responsibilities (usually caring for other people as well, like children and parents) but with enough maturity to handle them without needing to focus on youthful hedonism -> fewer responsibilities but still mature and now probably in a better financial position, and you can already be satisfied with your lot in life and what you’ve done with it -> little to no responsibilities and you’re usually taken care of.
