Yes, this is true. But in the end this is a risk the Ukrainian people chose for themselves. They wanted to turn towards the West. Is there a price to pay for that? Yup. Putin the like OJ Simpson watching his ex-wife through the bushes. Unfortunately this ends badly for the wife.

This is not good. Treat yourself with love.

Yeah, well... winning primaries is necessary. Again, be careful with pie-in-sky notions of politics. Stay grounded in how politics actually works, not how you wish it worked.

@Emotionalmosquito Well, spiritual Awakening is the solution for you.

Correct. You can't accept it. You must die. The acceptance of Infinity is called death. An ego/self cannot accept Infinity. Infinity is too serious to be "accepted". It kills you and your death is the "acceptance". Imagine a gazelle getting caught in the jaws of a lion. At first it struggles but at some point the struggle become futile and it just "accepts" it. Yes, life is a difficult thing so appreciate every peaceful moment while it lasts because it won't last forever.

Well said.

God is unlimited imagination. Torture is just one of the things that can be imagined. It is not possible that torture cannot be imagined -- since you can imagine it. In order to be able to imagine an entire universe, torture must also be imaginable. Torture exists simply because EVERYTHING is imaginable. What you are really wrestling with is the fact that imagination is unlimited. And yes, that's a hell of a powerful notion. It's the power of God. Is the power of God terrifying to a mortal? Of course! God's power is unlimited and you would rather it be limited. But if it was limited in any way then the universe could not be imagined from nothing.

I have a more mundane explanation for why unconscious politics prevails: Because the majority of mankind is ignorant and unconscious. Why did Trump win? Because millions of Americans are simply politically ignorant. If we just properly educated Americans, a guy like Trump could never win an election.

Oh, this is simple. The only way to get good with women is to socialize with 1000s of women. Everything else is irrelevant. If you want to solve this problem you must undertake the pickup journey. That means you start going out consistently every week and talking to hundreds and thousands of women. I have outlined the entire process in my videos: How To Get Laid - Part 1, 2, and 3. Re-watch that video series. It really is the answer. It is so comprehensive that there's little else to say. Don't worry about confidence. Confidence will come naturally as you gain socialization experience. You don't need to do any special tricks or techniques to be confident. Experience IS confidence. The only way to be visible to women is to socialize with them. P.S. Sorry about your scooter accident. I fell off my scooter too. Not as bad as you but it still hurt. Scooters are the Devil's vehicle.

This is a poor argument because we had an election after that, in 2020, where Bernie lost fair and square against Biden. Leftists are in denial about. That's why he lost. Unconscious politics beat conscious politics. It's like a saint fighting against a psychopath. The psychopath will win.

A $35M mansion for my family, a rat box for your family. That's peak Elon Musk.

This was tried and failed. Bernie is incapable of winning a national primary. And he didn't plan to run.

I call BS on this. He lives in private jets and billionaire rental properties or friends houses, or lavish corporate headquarters. When you are billionaire you don't need a house, you can rent a new house every week or live out of 5 star luxury resorts. Normal people need real houses, not rat boxes. The reason Musk doesn't have a house per se is because he travels around so much for business. Realistically he probably spends most of his time in hotels just because that's most convenient.

That's blindspot of the center. Yeah, it's a shitty dynamic to be caught between lunatic right-wingers and conformist centrists.

I understand. But you are comparing historically underdeveloped Eastern Europe with Germany -- an industrial powerhouse and a top world economy.

That threatens everyone's survival. Be careful that your revolution does not end up eating you. Notice how people here push back on me even when I post a video on nationalization. And you think you can just abolish private property? That will start a civil war. You want me to advocate for a civil war in the middle of a fascist takeover of America? You think Wall Street and DC will allow you to abolish private property? This is a joke. You don't understand how power works. You might as well charge the White House lawn in a full frontal assault with a shotgun. You'll get further. I'm not going to fill my audience's mind with pie-in-sky political ideas. This would be irresponsible for me to do.

That's fine. It's a phase. I've been there. Read the political books on my book list. Question the idealistic dogmas of progressivism. The way to transcend Green progressivism is to realize how utopian and unrealistic their ideas are. You can realize this by deeply studying human nature to see that human nature is much more regressive and conservative than progressives imagine. Basically, study survival deeper and deeper until you understand why conservatism is necessary. The better you understand human nature and how power works, the more you will see that progressive ideas are pie-in-the-sky. As one example, not voting for Kamala just because Biden was funding Israel was a very stupid progressive way of thinking. Because now with Trump Palestine is dead. A more realistic view of power and human nature would have revealed this to you ahead of time.

Bernie is literally not a Democrat. So no, it's not his party. Which is why they snub him. Of course professional Dems will not want to elect a guy who isn't even a Dem. This is another blindspot within leftist thinking. Leftists want Bernie so bad that they fail to reason properly about why he lost. Bernie does not have wide enough appeal to win major national elections. But progressives cannot admit that fact into their worldview, so they double-down on demonizing corporate Dems.

He's pretty good but he's also got a problematic debate-bro facet. He's too eager to win debates rather than truth-seeking and sense-making. This limits his understanding. The goal is not own people in debates. This is childish. He's a bit too distracted by that. Medhi has a kind of obnoxious element to him, like he's trying too hard to win arguments. Like his ego feeds off it. But he makes many very solid arguments. But with all these leftists, they are still fundamentally paradigm locked. They are missing Tier 2 understanding of politics.

In terms of style, yes. We are distinguishing here between style of delivery vs policy. Is he a Zionist? I wasn't aware. I haven't watched him in a long time. I don't recall ever hearing his full views on Palestine.

@Cathy92506 If you mean to say that Awakening is nothing more than skill at handling emotions, then the answer is definitely NO. Technically, Awakening has nothing to do with emotions. However, if you seriously pursue Awakening then emotional skillfullness will come as a byproduct of much consciousness work.

If everyone had the development level of a saint then libertarianism would be the proper form of government. Obviously our average level of development determines what form of government is currently sustainable. A Yellow government cannot work because less than 1% of the population is Yellow. Who's going to run it? Show me a single Yellow politician or congressman.

It is an error in reasoning to regard all nationalization efforts as the same. Airports in America are nationalized. They work just fine. Obviously communism and even socialism is wrong. But that doesn't mean nationalizing some industries is wrong. It has to be done in an intelligent and selective way. USSR is an outdated model. Study China instead. China proves that it can work.

In an intelligent, mature, and self-aware way -- which they are incapable of. They can only behave up to the level of their cognitive and moral development.

No, they are just obnoxious on their own. Except for Pakman, he is fine. It's not autism, it's egotism. When you speak for a living on YT, especially doing criticism, it slowly poisons your mind.
