@gengar Dude, you love to take things I say and twist them into way more than it is. It is like you are hunting for things to be disgruntled about. I don't place my art above anyone. The themes of human literature are shallow and grossly overrated. Nevermind video games. A profound video game is like a profound story in a porno.

Hey, ya'll, I need your help! I want to create a comprehensive list of video examples of prototypical stage Green thinking. This is not meant to humiliate or demonize stage Green. It's meant to be an educational tool for people learning about Spiral Dynamics. So towards that end, scour Youtube and find all the videos you can which exhibit stage Green thinking. Try to find videos which are short and sweet. The more diversity we can display here, the better. Try to find examples from various cultures: Europe, Middle East, Asia, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, Africa, South America, etc. We will create a mega-thread like this for every stage in the Spiral, from Red to Turquoise. But here, let's just focus on Green. Each week I will start a new mega-thread topic for the next stage. Do not start a political debate in this thread! It is not our goal here to defend our personal political positions or to judge any stage, but simply to compile examples. Thanks for your help! I'm excited to see what kind of juicy stuff you dig up. Try to be selective with your choices. This can turn into a really cool list.

Good topic. Thanks! We need moar!

@birds_of_attar Very cool. Thanks for sharing. Happy for you

Men are not merely socialized to objectify women. This underestimates the depth of the issue. If only it were so easy! The truth is that men's sex drive objectifies women. That is the source of the socialization. You can't just blame everything on socialization because the socialization itself needs a source. Socialization is not arbitrary or whimsical. It follows physical and biological realities. The reason these lofty leftist ideologies fail is because human nature is not taken seriously. Men have an objective attitude towards sex. You will not train that out of men. Men view women as sex objects because that's how men are wired to view them. This is hard for women to understand because women aren't wired that way. This is where feminism fails. It doesn't understand the depth of the issue. It's in denial about the truth because the truth is too ugly for a liberal's precious ears.

Scientists are like hungry hyenas looking for their next meal on the savanna. Survival. Survival never changes.

I don't know a single matriarchal society. This is some liberal fantasy.

Adds a whole new level of meaning to JP's advice to "clean your room". Clean your room, or your room will eat you.

Now you know how police feel.

@Jodistrict Changing the entire economy is a huge, huge issue. It's just much harder to do than gay rights. Gay rights ultimately harms no one.

A lot of these people are drunk, mentally ill, severely ignorant, or all three at once.

So? That's a win. Take the win. It is like you are asking for corporations to hate minorities too. Lol.

Self-snitching is a bitch

@CosmicExplorer The reason is that you can't ban it. We tried and it didn't hold. It's just too popular to ban. If you ban it doesn't mean people will stop using it. But yes, alcohol is truly the Devil's drug.

No. You are conflating things. The most rabid grass-roots leftists are feminists. It has nothing to do with big money corpos. Corpos adopt the ideas much later down stream. Feminism trickles into corporate culture. Corpo culture likes to be inclusive to not offend customers and employees. You make feminism sound like some fake, astroturfed thing, but it isn't, it is genuine. Identity politics is genuine. Minority activism is genuine.

The best character to play is yourself

Tell them you already found you a nice girl on OnlyFans.

Superstitions like breaking a mirror, seeing a black cat, knocking over the salt shaker, knock on wood, etc.

When cops tresspass you, little do they know that time dilates and the tresspass doesn't apply into the past. Loophole found!

Genocide is a hell of a drug.
