I’ll grant your right in principle, but wrong in intent. Meaning that all this actions are working to undermine European hegemony. However, I see it as all those countries pursuing their own self interest like any other nation, which automatically undermines every other nation. China and India aren’t buddies, for instance, but they’ll work on a couple of things if it serves them. India and Russia go way back so India won’t dump them just because the west wants them to do that. By that logic, the UK worked overtime to undermine the EU by leaving it, even though it sounds far fetched. And the dollar, I maybe underestimate the significance of this shift, but I don’t see any problem. In just world, I would be more open for the US using its economic power in coercive measure against rouge states to make them conform to international norms. However, we live in a world order where leaders can invade countries based on lies- weapons of mass destruction- and nobody gets prosecuted. Interestingly, the lie of weapons of mass destruction was one of the catalyst for mass immigration -Iraqis and afghanis- which is fuelling the European right wingers, which few people see the connection with. I’ll chose American corruption over the alternative. But, I might be naive and underestimating the dangers. Spies come with the territory of politics. All countries use spies. FYI I haven’t red the links, I’ll check them out.

How are BRICS countries working overtime to unbalance Europe? Russia, China maybe, but Brazil, India and South Africa?

I’ve been single for a long time and I take full responsibility for it. One thing that would solve the problem real quick would be too lower my standard. Is it possible to consciously lower one’s standard and be happy about it? Many of my friends have done the same.

Geting drunk automatically lower one’s standards and one might get laid more often . But that don’t rhyme with spirituality and health ,basically a short term strategy which the average normie resort to. So how do I lift weights with my mind? Go out and get rejected on a regular basis?

I feel the same about practice women. It feels dishonest to lead people on that one is not attracted to. And changing ones psyche due to rejection seem all good in theory but in practice you might find yourself getting more resentful and messing your vibe even more. strategizing is the way to go. And putting oneself in situation where the mingle potential is high. The trade of there is that one might not be able to focus on health and higher pursuit at that time.

So how does one get over looks then, which was the original question, btw? To work with oneself? Most self work just inflate one’s vanity like going to the gym, reading books and half assing spirituality.

Let me clarify. I’m attracted to beautiful women. So, when at the club or any meat market, I gravitate towards beauty. In regular life, I appreciate the whole package. Is just that opportunities to interact with people are few and far in between. So, it’s hard to motivate oneself to approach strangers that your aren’t attracted to.

I agree. It’s a big trap to pedestalize beautiful women.

@Yimpa I will contemplate that.

Im interested in adapting my view on it, because my news consumption mostly shows the bad sides. I know the good stuff like prohibition on alcohol, emphasise on family and discipline etc. Is there any good sources that supports this view which are freely available? which isn’t a cleric that self-congratulates his collective ego.

@Leo Gura I enjoyed reading your conversation with the AI. I would read other conversation on other topics too.

Happy nowruz🙂

Check your stats. It is a bit more nuanced.

Hasn’t anyone in this entire thread made the case that countries are social construct and belongs to nobody? Then I’ll repeat it. No country belongs to nobody absolutely speaking. But relatively speaking, Arabs conquered and renamed their territories like Egypt to Misr, Jordan to Urdunia, Syria to Shams. If you want a fair playing field, let’s sit down and renegotiated the entire Middle East so every minority gets a piece, if fairness is the concern. European Jews took back a land which had sentimental value to them. Which seems unfair, but plenty injustice goes on there. Orthodox people keep longing for reclaiming Constantinople, but they aren’t waging a holy crusade to make it happen. The world is unfair, relatively speaking. Playing the victim while trying to dictate terms is really overplaying one’s hand. Lastly, if human life was a priority for Arabs, Palestinians Muslims would be settled at a safe place. Wonder why Christian’s from the levant have had several waves of exoduses to Latin America? Because it is dangerous being a minority in the Middle East.

I share most of your views. But I want to add that Palestinian brother people (Arabs) could do more than gaslight the rest of the world for its inaction. The Arab league is also responsible for this catastrophe.

Furthermore, America support many nations because they wanna avoid that the soviets or another big player fills the vacuum.

Lying has consequences.

Also it seems like humanity goes through cycles. At the end of a cycle it seems the situation is vulnerable for radicalisation. Furthermore, it is tempting to go radical when things don’t turn out the way one expected.

That good. The public space shouldn’t tolerate anti-any group. Imagine an anti-Christian, white,black, Hispanic, catholic group or voice. It’s absurd. Criticism , questioning and inquiry, however, is healthy in any in most subject matters. In this case, American foreign policy in the Middle East, which Isreal plays a key role needs to be questioned for many reason. Especially when America wants to claim morale high over everyone else.

My point with sharing the videos is that criticism seems to come from many prominent Jewish and non-Jewish voices like Chomsky, Bernie Sanders, Finkelstien, Mearsheimer Jon Stewart and etc. Furthermore, these orthodox Jewish people claim that they are not alone and that many orthodox people are critical about Isreal from a religious pov. Honestly, it don’t know what’s what.

What about these guys?

Thanks!

Can anyone explain if the information from prominent Jewish scholars like Noam Chomsky and Norman Finkelstien is credible? They tend to be critical about Isreal which is interesting because of them being Jewish themselves.
