You’re uhh interesting, and that makes you memorable! But yeah, crazy story. 😅

Lots of all-or-nothing thinking in your post…

I thought you were maybe just shitposting when you posted about it some time ago… 🥲

And yes, yes it is. Lots of prostitutes and Johns in this world, though.

We are who we choose to be, and if you have been nothing but sociopathically antisocial all this time, I’m not gonna expect you to randomly change your mind… and I can safely call you an “evil person”. Evil because they decided to be so, and I’m just labelling this person’s most salient characteristic, not saying they were born that way or whatever, ofc not. People are malleable on paper but for pragmatic reasons at some point (specially if you’re old) I assume you’re stuck in your ways and no words will make you turn it around, and as such you can warrant the static “evil” label.

This is just the classic “let’s leave it up in the air so nobody gets judged because I wouldn’t like it either!” Western laissez-faire mentality that stops any thorough moral analysis. I’ll only accept it if it’s coming from a Cartesian “I think therefore I am and I can’t say anything else about anything with certainty”, if not it’s just moral permissiveness/intellectual laziness. Not everyone can just be “talked into sanity” and prosociality, many people have chosen their paths and as such can only go one way, in this world or the next. Can we make that final judgment, unbiasedly and accurately? No, but that’s reality, we can still acknowledge they’ve crossed enough thresholds and seem unrepentant enough that, for all intents and purposes, we can reasonably consider this person “evil” and, more importantly, just antisocial and dangerous enough to either lock up and ostracise.

In the real world with real means, do you think you could talk Trump out of touching kids and gambling the lives of many for the sake of personal profit? Satanyahu to stop colonizing West Asia? Do you think you could stop a rapist while he’s at it with the words of Jesus or Muhammad? Come on, now.

You could serve a million years but if you don’t regret it (if what you did was morally wrong and you got locked up for good reasons, many people are not, sadly) then what “fresh start” is possible?

Maybe they just got abused by their parents so heavily they were pushed into this, and that’s understandable, but in other cases I don’t think that spending time locked up necessarily means you’re a different person who “deserves” a chance to have a normal life, it all depends on how you processed things.

“Best of intentions”

My man, you joined the military, not a bakery. And if you joined the American one, even if you’ve only had a diet of strict pro-Western imperialism propaganda, you KNOW you’re signing up to kill. And they don’t “have your ass” as much as God does, and whatever punishment they would’ve gotten is certainly not as bad as Hell, but these people don’t believe in anything in earnest.

Westerners feel that way when the propaganda/ideology is threatened. They also often have issues not thinking in all or nothing terms, so they need these dichotomies.

Seeing from the heavily upvoted comments removed by the mods, this ain’t changing anytime soon, lol.

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.
