  1. Isn’t enlightenment in a way also depersonalisation?
  2. The problem is not the ceasefire in Ukraine. The problem is what does Ukraine have to give up? Will Russia collect and rearm itself in years not months. Will there be a bigger war because of appeasement to Putin. Etc. It’s complex and you can’t judge it on a ceasefire.
  3. In some ways Europe or let’s say EU + Norway, UK, Switzerland, Turkey Is also a sleeping giant that you don’t want to wake up. The question is only if they can pull together. I’m excited to see if Europe becomes irrelevant or becomes a giant. You could say Europe became less relevant with the world wars. Before that it was dominating the world stage. But then the US became the hegemony with some of Europe and Japan etc. as allies or some would say vassals almost.
  4. As legit as going to the toilet or the mall imo. Everything could be “spiritual” If everything is god or whatever then how could you get further or closer to that?
  5. It’s wild when you think how instrumental Fox News probably was in getting Donald elected.
  6. Interview with the guy who asked Zelensky “why don’t you wear a suit?” How is this guy a reporter? What an embarrassment this guy. Probably tweaking on fruit loops.
  7. Have you ever been to a parade? I’ve been to Madrid once coincidentally while it was LGBT parade. It’s quite wild. Almost all bigger west European cities have those parades and events.
  8. Yea so many cities in Europe have great public transport actually and i’m very happy about it. I actually haven’t been to Copenhagen but i think soon. Also wouldn’t mind to live in Amsterdam for a while.
  9. What i didn’t like is when he said “Donald you’re very intelligent, but this is a very dumb thing”
  10. Yea personally i also love the architecture in Amsterdam the black buildings, the canals and such. The overflow of tourists can be annoying but that’s in many cities in Europe.
  11. Nice yea i like Amsterdam. Going back there end of April around kings day probably.
  12. Yea i already corrected the post a few seconds after writing it.
  13. Who is right? Imo the ones who want more freedom and democracy. Also the ones who were invaded. Also the ones who don’t have the same "president” for over 20 years. The ones who gave up nukes for security assurances.
  14. @Nemra I remember you were asking for places to take psychs. So you doing it in Europe? And it’s successful, cool.
  15. He puts too much trust in Trump and the US imo. Although it’s good to act calm and collected with Trump and MaGa imo instead of just turning it into a back and forth fight/argument or start to panic. But i hope he better has a plan B ready also.
  16. Nice 👍
  17. And that’s a good thing. He’s like the Buddha of politics. Turning down the temperature before it’s too late. I mean i get that it seems boring for Americans who are tweaking in a froot loop sugar rush. But we like peace and calm. Less ego less Donald.
  18. Finally a cool movie at the cinema Oscar type stuff.
  19. The Finnish sauna president Good man thus far Cool calm and collected
  20. So how do you stop someone from spewing crappy authoritarian propaganda? I mean if this was a right wing forum i‘d understand it but dear lord.
  21. Netanyahu and Putin. Putin lost more Russians in Ukraine than Americans were lost in WW2. They just throw men into the meat grinder. No care or value for human lives.
  22. It’s quite frustrating to argue with people who support an authoritarian, violent dictator who bombs people without caring about human life. These people act like propagandists. Personally i just put them on ignore.
  23. Almost everybody in Europe was invaded and many in Asia.
