@Leo Gura Isn’t it possible for him to maintain his power and tone down the chauvinism, It seems that these chauvinistic antics only hinder him from true greatness.

@Leo Gura This is a very interesting phenomenon! Can we get some anecdotes on “men of the cloth” who used “sheep in wolfs clothing” effectively?

I know many themes in hip hop are completely antithetical to the values instilled by actualized.org, however I am curious to know which, if any rap songs, are enjoyed by the actualized community

For example, in order for a rapist to become Good, he would need to introspect and recognize by the light of his own Consciousness that rape is wrong. For Andrew Tate to become Good, he would need to introspect and realize within himself that treating women the way he treats women is wrong. Do you see that this cannot come from outside of himself? It does not matter what the law says, or what the courtroom says, or what the Bible says, or what I say, because even if he followed all those external standards, as long as he internally thought that rape is cool, then he's a bad person. Bad not because I judge him, but bad because he lacks self-awareness. Rape is bad because it is unconscious survival. For Andrew Tate to become a Good person he would need to make all of his unconscious survival behavior conscious, which would be very painful for him to do because he would feel so bad about his past behavior. Which is why he's stuck being a bad person. Bad people are stuck in a vicious cycle of denial about their own behavior. Honestly, this entire paragraph is well written and I agree with it, I am only confused about one small sentence in this paragraph, “Rape is bad because it is unconscious survival.” Does Leo mean that the actual act of rape is unconscious because he mentions that the rapist thinks its “cool”, or does he mean that the rapist is not conscious of how his raping is a survival strategy?

@Ajay0 The root of these conflicts can be traced back to the founding of the countries! From the Ukrainian war of independence to “Zionism was the main force behind the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, and remains the country's dominant ideology today.”(Wikipedia).

@Knn Do you really think modern Israelis still bear a grudge that deep based on historical events that they weren’t alive for tho? It’s surely one factor in the equation but I believe Leo is correct to boil it down to simply not caring about others moral system.

@Nivsch If you ask me, Leo was spot on with the original bear analogy, the bear simply does not care about your moral system.

@Knna splendid read!

@Thought Art Quite the contrary, going back in history it seems like Zionism was the main catalyst of the conflict, with radical Islam adding fuel to the fire. @Willy Phallicus Palestine is prohibited from having a military due to Israeli policies, why put HAMAS and Palestine in the same boat? @Raze @Karmadhi Those are also important distinctions, ethnic cleansing is definitely more severe than the loss of a cultural identity

@Leo Gura Under the 1993 and 1995 Oslo Accords, the Palestinian Authority (PA) was established as an interim self-governing body. These agreements permitted the creation of a police and internal security force, but explicitly prohibited the establishment of a regular military or army. Palestinian security forces are restricted in their size, training, and weaponry, limited mostly to small arms and light vehicles. (Welcometopalestine.com) It seems like due to these Oslo Accords, Palestine is backed into a corner as far as defense which is why these terrorist organizations sprout up and become so powerful relative to the government. How is Palestine supposed to prevent terrorism without a strong defense?

@Terell Kirby Well said!

@Leo Gura Which ideal or theory have I pointed to? And how does it differ from the political reality

@Leo Gura Are they really the military arm? Or more like the only defense force in Palestine so they are perceived as the official military? They are not officially affiliated with the government, and mostly stick to the Gaza Strip region.

@Karmadhi So your basically saying that AL QAEDA was being frivolous in their efforts to attack USA for their military presence, where as Palestine has suffered more of a prolonged/brutal abuse at the hands of the Israelis?

@Karmadhi Would it be correct to compare this to the 9/11 situation?

@Leo Gura HAMAS is a terrorist organization seperate from Palestine, how can the entire country be held responsible for the acts of a terrorist organization?

@Leo Gura Diplomatically is the key word, Palestine and Israel don’t exist in a vacuum. Should HAMAS have attacked Israel, obviously not but as you said “the bear does not care about your moral system”, but Palestines government is seperate from HAMAS, and they could defend themselves through diplomatic relations with other countries and organizations such as the UN. (Which the US has repeatedly tried to push Palestine out of)

@Leo Gura Unless you managed to pull a gun from your coat? It is possible for Palestine to diplomatically aggregate enough man-power to defend themselves from Israel

@Leo Gura But if the grizzly bear over reacts, do the Palestinians not have the right to defend themselves from the over reaction? Wouldn’ disregarding someone’s moral system make them more likely to “Pull a gun out of their coat”?

@Leo Gura “Israeli military actions have killed more than 74,000 Palestinians, while Palestinian attacks have killed more than 2,000 Israelis in the war that began in October 2023”. [wikipedia] “In 2005, Israel carried out a unilateral withdrawal, known as the Israeli disengagement from the Gaza Strip, removing all military forces and dismantling 21 Jewish settlements. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon initiated the plan to improve national security, reduce military costs, ease friction with the dense Palestinian population, and break a diplomatic stalemate” [iemu.org] How would you incorporate these statistics into your position?

@Leo Gura From what I understand Palestine is not really capable of attacking Israel in a seriously effective way? Like it’s similiar to the 9/11 situation no? Obviously a country has to protect itself from attacks and terorrism but it can easily get emotional and go overboard.

@Sincerity Did you look through my instagram profile at all? The first 3 posts lay the foundation, but I have over 400 total posts on my page providing context and details about these incidents.

Snoop Dogg (Wiz Khalifas Associate) has been coordinating with a local human trafficker who has been targeting me. I was assaulted outside a dispensary where wiz khalifa was advertising his product, I have over 400 posts of evidence about this case, what do you guys think wiz is up to these days? Instagram:whitegirlploy

@Sincerity It’s related to the same situation but it’s not a duplicate thread? Wiz khalifa and Off the Charts are seperate entities from snoop

@SincerityHow was I targeted? I was wearing expensive jewelry and designer clothing and spending high dollar amounts at a dispensary, the assault is detailed in one of my instagram posts, but long story short I was jumped outside of the store, its on camera, and I already filed a police report. @NewKidOnTheBlock Well obviously you are going to behave differently if you smoke a lot of weed compared to being sober?
