Yes but the reality is that you have to try something to better your situation. This sounds like something that could be worth a shot. Your mind is already filled with all kinds of dogma and ideology.

Because you want what they have.

Educate yourself and then contemplate. There is plenty of analysis out there already.

Agreed. I’m not seeing a lot of talk about what needs to be done after Trump loses in November. But I’m sure he will try to pull something.

Keep in mind the goal is not to force transcendence of Orange. If Orange is where you are at, that’s where you are at. That’s what is realistic for many people. We want to take what is best from Orange and leave the rest if possible. We are building on top of each stage. For instance, you should be able to set an ambitious long-term goal and diligently work towards it everyday. This will also require healthy Blue discipline. If you cannot do this, what chance do you have of achieving loftier social justice goals like at Green and above? You cannot even run the basics of your own life, let alone solve the collective problems of society.

Cool. Most people on this forum are not directly involved in the world of politics. So it’ll be interesting to hear from someone actually going through it. Looking forward to hearing what you discover.

@NightHawkBuzz What is your interest in participating on this forum?

Then I’d keep looking to see if you can find someone. All sorts of weird things are possible with both spirituality and health.

The idea is that they wouldn’t be related. Obviously I don’t really know. I’m not a medical expert.

No amount of spiritual work has changed my depth perception. If you’re honestly noticing a change in your vision, that could be a medical condition.

Maybe the Dark Polarity will save us from these types of new agers. Dark Polarity 2024.

That was actually mature and well-handled by everyone involved. I'm impressed.

Thank you but "Conspirituality" is not my term. It's a well-known thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspirituality

@strika This has nothing to do with conscious politics. This is new age conspirituality. If you keep posting things like this, you will likely be banned from the whole forum.

I could see that happening. Especially since he will likely view said backlash as the woke mob coming for him. Maybe he complies publicly, but privately would be a different question.

Can't read the full article without subscribing to Fortune. The little blurb I can read says something about still supporting a Super Pac. Hopefully he did decide to call off the 45 million, but who knows. In his own words, he has vowed to destroy the "woke mind-virus". That is problematic.

Adam Kinzinger.

This is an egregious misattribution of correlation / causation. That Putin did not launch his full invasion under Trump is more timing than anything else. There was still plenty of conflict that was happening. It could have happened under any administration. No wars at all? The world just became a peaceful place because everyone was just so in awe and afraid of Trump? Lol. This is a narcissistic fantasy. There are wars and conflicts happening all the time, including under the Trump admin. Trump can do nothing to stop them.

The best defense against Putin is competent leadership that knows how to run an effective administration. Which is what Kamala represents.

Pure nonsense. Trump’s behavior is perfectly predictable. Just ask yourself what a narcissistic idiot with no regards for the truth would do.

Yes, deepen your analysis. Western interventionism has been exploitive for the global south and at times problematic for their development. Great. Now what other distinctions can we make?

I understand his point. It’s a very obvious one for anyone versed in progressive politics. Nothing new is being said.

People on social media talking about how sad it is for Joe Biden that it had to "end this way" and that it stains his legacy. No! If Kamala is the nominee and beats Trump, dropping out will prove to be a legendary move by Biden. This only cements his status as a great president.

I’m surprised he feels a trump victory is so likely. Assuming Kamala is the nominee, I’m optimistic right now about her chances. People are getting behind her. Maybe trump still wins, but saying a trump victory is ”still very likely” seems like a bad read.

Scale is not the only factor. And to a certain degree, the scale argument works against you. The west has been more successful at exploitation because it has things like functioning courts and laws. This allows for scale. Third world country courts are so corrupt in many cases that they cannot scale their exploitation. False. Devilry takes many forms. Just because you are a weaker devil doesn't mean you're not a devil. It's not about being equal in some simplistic fashion. There can be differences. Just recognize the devilry when it exists. And stop acting like the east is a bunch of saints compared to the west. One thing is guaranteed: if there's humans, there's devilry going on. Well that part is true. There certainly are reasons. But also, there is anti-western bias. Both exist. I have. That's partly how I drifted towards the political left in the US. The right-wing has historically been too drunk on nationalism and American exceptionalism to take issues of western devilry seriously.
