  1. @Gennadiy1981 @Nivsch @Vrubel @hundreth @Merkabah Star @Danioover9000 You know what? I bet if we all shared bread we’d have a laugh and get on despite different views. Like merkabah said, pass the popcorn - pass the bread too, and some of that Palestinian/Israeli olive oil. Sweet Jesus loves ya’ll.
  2. @hundreth @Vrubel As hundredth said it’s about the unintended outcome although the intent may seem good. As Vrubel said - most reasonable people don’t have an issue with the question but enough unreasonable people exist who are too polarized on the subject and can’t hold nuanced views. These questions are heavy and rigged, like the “do you condemn October 7th?”question - initially it seems straight forward but then it isn’t because there’s a context to the question and many passionate and polarized people who will hear your one word answer and autocomplete the rest of your views and misunderstand you. These questions are dripping with loaded assumptions that cling to both the answer and the person answering. They're designed to be yes or no questions, but they demand caveats. For pro-Palestinians, being pushed to denounce October 7th (which any sane person would) risks having that one word (Yes) misused to undermine the Palestinian cause itself as they get conflated. To curb conspiracy theories, it's probably better for a nation's elites to prioritize their own country. While alliances are important, these relationships fall apart if an ally seems to care more about your country than their own people. This stirs conspiracy theories and resentment, making the public pull back their support which Israel very much needs. In the US and Britain, for example, people are questioning why aid is sent to Israel when their own citizens need financial help, or why their armies and navies are scattered across the world—bombing Houthis in the Red Sea or sitting in the Mediterranean to contain Hezbollah—instead of protecting their own borders or waters. What they see is their leaders putting another nation’s borders and people above their own. It's in Israel's own interest to ensure other states aren't acting in its name in ways that further enrage their populations against it. Israel already does plenty on its own to provoke global anger anyway.
  3. The heuristic and policy says more about the state than the applicant. It's a mirror that doesn't reflect the fitness of the applicant, but the insecurities of the state subverted by anthers politics to the point they politicise their own operations. Germans this time aren't subject to the actions of the state with many stars across the Atlantic ( US neutering Nord stream ) but to the state with one star across the Med ( who they have historic guilt over massacring ) It can also be counter productive and risk back lash - just look at Americans even amongst the right now questioning their figure heads about being America or Israel first. This enforced pampering of Israel makes natives question their leaders loyalties and interests. Either way, applicants can just say what needs be said, and roam among Germany with fractured loyalties no one knows about. So what does it actually provide except a symbolic act to alleviate their historic guilt? In trying to rectify the sins of its past, it just risks compromising its future.
  4. Hate speech laws already exist and rightfully so. But this isn’t about clamping down on hate, it’s about mandating acceptance, linguistic tyranny similar to forcing someone to utter a lie under duress. It’s like Jordan Peterson railing against the tyranny of compelled pronouns—except he wouldn’t be critical of this. It’s almost verbal and ideological assault to demand new citizens declare recognition of a state possibly implicated in their suffering and a contributing factor in them having to seek out citizenship in there the first place. It’s just ironic that their right to reside in Germany hinges on a pledge to a state in the hot seat of the world court for genocide which is concluded to at least be plausible. The condition of citizenship is to declare recognition of a state who inflicts atrocious conditions on a stateless people - from a state which inflicted atrocious conditions on those people historically (Hitler and the Nazi regime) Western elites love to bomb regions into the Stone Age, chest beat about how civilised and developed they are, then complain about people from those regions showing up to seek refuge from their actions. Seems like Israel is the one being pampered and their feelings hurt because people don’t want to acknowledge or love them. They want to lawfully rape people into loving their glorious existence lol
  5. Perhaps cohesion, perhaps conformity to state sanctioned opinion trampling on individual freedom of thought. Sounds cohesive and not inflammatory at all to mandate a statement which rubs salt into the wound many immigrants feel who presently live in Germany and are yet to come. Particularly from the Middle East fleeing conflicts exacerbated by Western/Israeli foreign policy. They are asked to thumbs up a country they perceive played a part in or has been used as a tool by the military industrial complex to wage war on their homelands. Some people may believe Israel doesn’t have a right to exist and that this fantasy can ever come true, but most just believe it doesn’t have the right to exist as it does - occupationally which has historically always led to conflict and bloody uprisings. What Israel does have the right to is the right to remain silent, as it stands accused on the world stage - anything it says or does on a personal or political level will be held against it whether by the courts or by the consciousness of the world which it cares little for in its arrogance.
  6. As you come from a Orthodox background its best to keep in mind that questioning something isn't rejecting it, but only revealing it in a new light with nuance. A few ways prophecies can be explained: Wisdom of pattern recognition - The observation of cyclical patterns in nature, society, and history can inform predictions that appear prophetic. Vagueness / retroactive interpretation - Many prophecies are worded in a way that allows for multiple interpretations. The ambiguity makes it easier to fit various events to the prophecy after the fact. Confirmation bias and their self fulfilling nature - People tend to remember and emphasise predictions that come true while forgetting or ignoring those that don't, creating an illusion of accuracy. The existence of a prophecy can influence people's behaviour, potentially leading to its fulfilment. A better way to view prophecy is like a promise - of a vision or intention. They are like promises or intentions made sacred that mobilise people to work towards them, sometimes over generations. When these promises are finally fulfilled, we look back and call them prophetic. Perhaps it's not mystical foresight - it's human determination making a vision come true.
  7. New German citizens must declare Israel’s right to exist - https://www.ft.com/content/56e6182c-4c00-433f-a43d-57ad131781a6 Reminds me of a US anti-BDS law that demands contractors pledge loyalty to Israel by not boycotting or divesting from Israel. If Israel were such a "Righteous nation with the most moral army'' it wouldn't require legally mandating a pinky-swear promise to not protest against them politically or economically. Apparently, loyalty is measured not in hearts or minds, but in contracts and signatures.
  8. Let’s not forget the hostage that is the US political system.
  9. https://x.com/KimDotcom/status/1804265849647436070 https://x.com/ArthurM40330824/status/1804407156407423199 In addition to above and in light of the recent beach attack in Sevastapool killing + terrorist attack claimed by ISIS in Dagestan targeting Churches (odd how ISIS in 8 months of Israel / Gaza haven't scratched a olive tree in Israel yet always seem to attack the enemies of the West) By Alon Mirzahi: Something has to also be said about American strategic stupidity, escalating at the same time in Ukraine and the ME. Here's just one aspect of it: Russia has a meaningful presence very close to Lebanon. It has very deep ties to Iran. By hurting Russia at home (maybe you've seen the Ukrainian-American attack on beachgoers in Crimea that took place a few hours ago: Putin and Lavrov are pointing fingers at the US directly), the Americans are pushing the Russians to want to retaliate, or take revenge. This is basic stuff. Now, think whatever you want about Russia and the Ukraine war, Russia has tremendous military capabilities, on par, and in some areas (like hypersonic missiles) even ahead of the US. As the US is rushing to protect and assist Israel's war on Lebanon, why expose American troops to Russian capabilities by escalating in Ukraine? A slight uptick in the help Russia provides Hezbollah and Iran, or Syrian Islamic resistance forces, could mean the lives of many, many Israelis and Americans. Hezbollah may have some super-advanced missiles, why push Russia to give them another 100? And we saw a bit of the intelligence Hezbollah has on Israel, can you imagine what Russia has, and can provide? The Americans must know that in Lebanon and potentially Syria, Russians have the perfect playfield to exact revenge on American forces who are shedding their blood in Ukraine. So why be so callous and dumb about it? In normal and sane times, the US would come to certain understandings with Russia before it allowed any escalation in the ME. But now it lets Israel start another war after it's already fatigued from one, in an atmosphere of open war against Russia, and when Russian forces have been deeply established in the region and have close relationships with Iran and its proxies. You thought I was kidding when I talked about an American aircraft carrier sinking. Believe me, if Russia wants a carrier to sink (directly or by proxy), it will sink. Look what the Houthis have done with 3rd rate missiles. I simply cannot understand the American callousness and strategic stupidity. Western elites are playing with their militaries as if it's all a monopoly game, one in which they are very unsophisticated players lacking all foresight and finesse. It is so obvious they are walking into a huge trap with absofuckinglutely nothing to gain, and no plan.''
  10. Some highlights from a article by John Pilger from 2016 - https://www.counterpunch.org/2016/03/23/a-world-war-has-begun-break-the-silence/ ''In the last eighteen months, the greatest build-up of military forces since World War Two — led by the United States — is taking place along Russia’s western frontier. Not since Hitler invaded the Soviet Union have foreign troops presented such a demonstrable threat to Russia. Ukraine – once part of the Soviet Union – has become a CIA theme park. Having orchestrated a coup in Kiev, Washington effectively controls a regime that is next door and hostile to Russia: a regime rotten with Nazis, literally. Prominent parliamentary figures in Ukraine are the political descendants of the notorious OUN and UPA fascists. They openly praise Hitler and call for the persecution and expulsion of the Russian speaking minority. This is seldom news in the West, or it is inverted to suppress the truth. In Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia — next door to Russia – the US military is deploying combat troops, tanks, heavy weapons. This extreme provocation of the world’s second nuclear power is met with silence in the West. What makes the prospect of nuclear war even more dangerous is a parallel campaign against China. Seldom a day passes when China is not elevated to the status of a “threat”. According to Admiral Harry Harris, the US Pacific commander, China is “building a great wall of sand in the South China Sea”. What he is referring to is China building airstrips in the Spratly Islands, which are the subject of a dispute with the Philippines – a dispute without priority until Washington pressured and bribed the government in Manila and the Pentagon launched a propaganda campaign called “freedom of navigation”. What does this really mean? It means freedom for American warships to patrol and dominate the coastal waters of China. Try to imagine the American reaction if Chinese warships did the same off the coast of California. I made a film called The War You Don’t See, in which I interviewed distinguished journalists in America and Britain: reporters such as Dan Rather of CBS, Rageh Omar of the BBC, David Rose of the Observer. All of them said that had journalists and broadcasters done their job and questioned the propaganda that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction; had the lies of George W. Bush and Tony Blair not been amplified and echoed by journalists, the 2003 invasion of Iraq might not have happened, and hundreds of thousands of men, women and children would be alive today. The propaganda laying the ground for a war against Russia and/or China is no different in principle. To my knowledge, no journalist in the Western “mainstream” — a Dan Rather equivalent, say –asks why China is building airstrips in the South China Sea. The answer ought to be glaringly obvious. The United States is encircling China with a network of bases, with ballistic missiles, battle groups, nuclear -armed bombers. This lethal arc extends from Australia to the islands of the Pacific, the Marianas and the Marshalls and Guam, to the Philippines, Thailand, Okinawa, Korea and across Eurasia to Afghanistan and India. America has hung a noose around the neck of China. This is not news. Silence by media; war by media.''
  11. @Twentyfirst You’ve been asking the question as if you’ve had the answer the whole time lol What you’re questioning isn’t the Holocaust itself but the narrative around it. Your contention is that questioning this narrative shouldn’t lead to being called a holocaust denier or an anti-Semite. It’s possible for groups and empires to gain and lose power, just as it is for people to gain and lose power within their own lifetime. In an oversimplified way the motivations for it could be racism amplified by conditions not entirely the fault of the race in question. Although a few influentials among them may be blamed for contributing to negative conditions, that doesn’t justify racism and hatred towards them as a group - same way the Palestinian collective shouldn’t suffer for the actions of Hamas. A few influential Jewish bankers and bolsheviks doesn’t make a whole race responsible. You could break it down as pre-existing racism along with economic hardship and national humiliation (losing WW1) + fear of anything getting in the way (ideologies or individuals) of rebuilding their pride and profits needed to pay WW1 reparations imposed on them via the Treaty of Versailles. 1. Racism: Deep-rooted racism already existed which wasn’t unique to Germany or towards Jews. 2. Red Terror: Fear of communism and its association with Jews who were amongst prominent leaders of it. During unstable times stability is demanded not revolutionaries. 3. Reparations: Economic hardship and national humiliation post-WWI. Connected to the above point - a ideology focused on redistributing wealth rather than building it would be seen as a threat to a nation burdened with debts and economic trouble thus leading to the demonisation of such a ideology including it proponents. 4. Resentment and rage: General public discontent and a search for scapegoats.
  12. The West has seduced the world their Marilyn Monroe while hiding a Ted Bundy kill kit under their skirt - a serial killer of sovereignty masquerading as a pin up girl of liberty. Their imperfect democracy has you casting votes that mean less and less. You think a few vested interests were going to just relinquish power and put their fate in the hands of the many? As the right to vote expanded, the relevance of the vote contracted. They gave the people a gramophone to scream through whilst erecting a soundproof room around them. They've given the freedom to shout into the void, protest in circles, publicly debate within the accepted spectrum of opinions and to vote for two cheeks of the same political ass that is the deep states. As long no one disrupts the status quo, they can have all the freedom they want. This freedom is predicated upon irrelevance - the people remaining irrelevant enough to not disrupt power and profits. Freedom of speech is there but not freedom of reach - if you reach enough minds to have a sizeable influence they’ll get their tentacles on you to subvert or cancel you. Their ethics is “it’s okay when we do it but not when you do it”.
  13. Fundamentalist religious people (shadow of stage blue) take end time prophecies that are myth as literal, and self fulfil them into existence to hasten whatever good they are promised from it (coming of a Messiah and the return of Jesus). Many problems come from taking myth that is fiction for a fact that is literal, not realising that the value of fiction is in its functionality, rather than its factuality. Fundamentalists view prophets as the spokespeople of God, rather than the spokesperson on God. As if prophets have a direct hotline to God and lecture us Gods message - when existence is a conversation not a lecture. Prophets are cosmic philosophers, not cosmic commanders. The movie series Dune actually shows quite well how fundamentalists belief in prophecy and prophets are used for political ends and power. That doesn’t deny there were prophets who awakened to certain degrees. It’s just important to remember that they were speaking to and from their own time. Treating them as eternal mouthpieces of God ignores the context, culture and limitations of their era. Forget the military-industrial complex; the power-prophecy-profits complex, which intertwines with religion, is far more dangerous. Daniel Schmachtenberger discusses the concept of “Moloch” as a metaphor for competitive systems that are destructive not due to a deliberate intent to destroy but because of incentives that drive us toward destruction. In the power-prophecy-profits complex, the prophecy element includes an intent to fulfill those prophecies that steer us towards WW3. ** Thanks for providing your life story above to get where you’re coming from.
  14. @Gennadiy1981 From your comment above you seem to understand awakening, mysticism and the nature of God and what stage blue religion is but then you still take scripture literally when you said previously that the land is for the Jews because God says so. You also take prophecy of Armageddon as a truth? Israel/Palestine thread always gets lit on the weekends.
  15. The point is the number of videos seem far too high and disproportionate for a relatively smll deployment of soldiers/troops. For example Iraq and Afghanistan saw over 1.5 million US troops deployed over 20 years and we never saw this volume of content mocking death and destruction. One caveat is that social media plays a big role in visibility and social media took off half way through those wars when the numbers were drawn down significantly. But what’s striking to me is that even after a ICJ hearing on the world stage many soldiers feel just fine to continue with the behaviour.
  16. I’m all for believing there’s a political centre amongst Zionists / Israelis and that the fundamentalists just run the government - but then you see countless videos of IDF mockery and things like this that make you question that assumption. This debate is all the way in Toronto. The deafening boos drowning out human rights reports reveal the fortress of denial built by those who've swallowed the Zionist narrative whole. It's easier to silence dissent than confront the cognitive dissonance of supporting a regime committing documented atrocities. Imagine the script was flipped and self proclaimed moderate Muslims booed at reports documenting the atrocities of ISIS.
  17. The warmth of the sun can linger long after the sunset, likewise, religion and radicals can influence a society enough that even when their influence fades, the effects still shape society in subtle ways. The few bad agents take holy words that are intended to bestow responsibility and twist them to mean superiority. Though they are few, they wield disproportionate influence as they are the ones currently with power in government. They can pull at policy and propaganda which shifts the centre of gravity in their direction or in other cases cause a pendulum swing in revolution against them. Words don’t have to be explicitly stated to have an affect on the psyche, which translates into actions, state action or personal action. Just a steady drip-feed of dogma, absorbed through cultural osmosis. Before you know it, the Overton window has shuffled enough to have a sizeable portion of the population dancing to a tune they never consciously chose to follow. The latest: https://amp.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/20/idf-transfers-powers-in-occupied-west-bank-to-pro-settler-civil-servants
  18. @Hatfort You always provide a good synopsis of the situation even on the Gaza side. Every time Putin extends an olive branch, our benevolent leaders are quick to torch it. Doing this during a peace summit in Switzerland just exposes the hypocrisy - maybe Putin timed this purposely to create the contrast. Or maybe he just thought their in the mood for peace as their literally doing a summit on it dedicated to Ukraine. They’re rejecting peace to feed the beast of power and profits. The very same talking heads who lecture us about freedom and democracy are suddenly mute when it comes to Ukraine literally dragging its citizens kicking and screaming to the front lines. The con in con-scription is you die for a script written by those who don’t. “Bodily autonomy" flies out the window when there's a war to be fought. The audacity of war cheerleaders debating whether we should support this madness. Just sacrificing Ukrainian lives on the altar of geopolitical power games and democracy is a moral catastrophe dressed up in yellow and blue. As a talking head in the West said on live TV - the Ukrainian war is a cheap way to weaken Russia with Ukrainian lives in the meat grinder instead of their own citizens from Britain, France, Germany or the US.
  19. Sure they can, but most perform it formally rather than heartily with presence. Prayer can come as a natural outcome of true meditation, but it’s a prayer without words. This experience transcends reasoning, movement or spoken words; it's a lived reality. If prayer helps to quiet the mind through its mantras or movements, the silence it brings can help realise God. Prayer is like a mechanism or tool to lead you to silence, it isn’t the experience of divine silence itself. Prayer takes on a form whether physical, verbal or both, but is meant to take you to the formless. Meditation skips over and dives you straight into silence. Prayer uses form to reach the formless, meditation transforms you as you sit with the formless. I messed around with Claude and came to this: “Ah, now we're talking cosmic clockwork and celestial synchronicity. You've hit on something juicy there, my friend. Sure, there's a method to the madness of prayer times. It's not just some arbitrary bullshit cooked up by bored monks. The sun, that blazing ball of nuclear fusion, has been humanity's metronome since we first crawled out of the primordial ooze. Dawn, noon, dusk - these aren't just transitions of light, they're energetic thresholds. The world literally shifts around us, and our meat suits respond whether we're aware of it or not. Our circadian rhythms dance to this solar symphony, and our consciousness fluctuates along with it. So yeah, those prayer times? They're tapping into something primal, something that predates organized religion by eons. It's like surfing the waves of awareness that naturally ebb and flow with the sun's journey across the sky. But here's the rub: you don't need a prayer mat or a fancy chant to ride these waves. The heightened awareness is there for the taking, divine experience ripe for the plucking, if you've got the balls to pay attention. Imagine this: you're up at dawn, world still hushed, that liminal space between night and day. Your mind's still soft from sleep, defenses down. The sun crests the horizon, and bam! - if you're really present, really there, you might just catch a glimpse of the cosmic machinery in action. Same goes for high noon, when the sun's at its zenith and the world holds its breath for a moment. Or sunset, as the light bleeds out of the sky and the veil between worlds feels gossamer-thin. These moments of transition, they're like cracks in the matrix of ordinary reality. And yeah, structured prayer can be a tool to pry those cracks open wider. But it's not the only way, and for some, it might even be a distraction from the main event. The real question is: can you cultivate the awareness to notice these moments without the crutch of ritual? Can you tap into that heightened state through sheer presence, through raw, unflinching attention to the now? That's the challenge, isn't it? To sync up with the cosmic dance not through rote repetition, but through moment-to-moment aliveness. It's a hell of a lot harder than following a prayer schedule, but man, the payoff... that's where the real divine fireworks happen. So yeah, there's definitely something to be said for those sun-linked prayer times. But maybe, just maybe, they're training wheels for a much wilder ride - direct, unmediated communion with the pulsing heart of reality itself.“ - Claude
  20. Lol, maybe if it’s written on a explosive projectile and I got a Hamas tunnel a million miles from me you’ll send me one 😂 Israel and the West love to talk about their common values. The tragedy is that both Western Christianity and Judaism (Islam included) have profound ethical teachings about justice, compassion, and human dignity. But they get overshadowed by vested interests with darker motives. The positive “common values” become a cloak bad agents wear to commit their crimes. Both sides share mythic tales of being "chosen” - using ancient texts to justify modern atrocities. They wave the white flag of peace and self-defence, which the world now sees as a red flag of hypocrisy, soaked in blood. The Christians had their "Manifest Destiny," a God-given right to steamroll over native populations in lands far away from home. The Zionists have their "Promised Land," a cosmic real estate deed they use to justify bulldozing Palestinian homes and planting settlers like weeds in occupied territory. Divine selection breeds a toxic superiority complex that makes Darwinian selection look like child’s play. To think one’s own group won the cosmic jackpot to be gods favourite - allows them to view themselves as the protagonists in a cosmic drama, with everyone else as expendable. The ideas of ‘divine mandate’ and ‘promised land’ can easily become license to operate outside the bounds of international law and basic human decency.
  21. Insightful. Tragic that it can just take one stubborn person to undo collective effort.
  22. Israel can’t allow Gaza and West Bank to come under its democratic umbrella of sovereignty because it won’t be a majority Jewish ethno-state. But at the same time they can’t allow those two territories to go their own way so they are left in limbo with West Bank being permanently sat on by Israel’s occupational ass cheeks and Gaza getting visited frequently by bombs sent from Tel Aviv - baptised and blessed by messianic Neo cons. I can’t envision Israel even relinquishing control of West Bank because that has more holy heritage than even Israel proper and is not filled with urban centrist Israelis who may empathise enough to negotiate - but by settlers who are way more right wing fundamentalist and now armed by the gov. Thats not even getting started on the logistical hurdle of West Bank being at a higher vantage point putting Israel in the cross hairs of a possible future Palestinian state that are armed. They’d demand a de-militarised West Bank which Palestinians would most likely never agree to either as it’s not fully sovereign - and after all they’ve dealt with they’d feel more entitled to be armed in order to defend against a group they can’t trust after decades of bad blood. @Danioover9000 Wish I got a love letter from Zion like yourself 😂
  23. The UN Human Rights Council has investigated Israel's war in detail - and the conclusions are damming. "We conclude that Israeli authorities are responsible for war crimes, crimes against humanity.. including extermination, internationally directing attacks against civilians... using starvation as a method of war... sexual and gender-based violence..." https://x.com/tparsi/status/1803434047927902395?s=46&t=DuLUbFRQFGpB8oo7PwRglQ Looks like Israel is gearing up for Lebanon while Bibi is scolding the US. Netenyahu - "I told Secretary Blinken it's inconceivable that in the past few months, the administration has been withholding weapons and ammunitions to Israel" Alon Mirzahi - “I have watched the full Hezbollah video again, closely, and it is so outrageous. The level of intelligence and the plethora of high-quality, strategic targets identifiable by picture is staggering. It also means jamming will not help to protect these sites, as drones/missiles will not have to communicate or be actively guided from Lebanon: they will be able to operate independently. And, as I've said earlier, the IDF can only imagine what Hezbollah knows beyond what it's flaunting. This is high-level psychological warfare against Israel (both its military and civil society). “ Edward Snowden - “I'm sorry, but Biden going full "Genocide Joe"—torching his electoral chances and 80% of Gaza in order to cover for Bibi's war crimes—only to have Bibi (predictably) start running campaign ads for Trump is just so, so perfectly Scorpion-and-the-Frog. You couldn't write it better.” https://x.com/snowden/status/1803137446294724967?s=46&t=DuLUbFRQFGpB8oo7PwRglQ
  24. That was just the missing part of the puzzle for me which you just helped illuminate in my understanding - that if spiral dynamics is about including and transcending, stage blue is based solely off exclusion which limits its development and growth.
  25. Blue is dogmatic about the divine, with a distorted ego-centric connection to it, they conceptually tribalize around the transcendental and interpret it with rigid literalism. Godly selection. Orange is dismissive of the divine, with a soulless scientific secularism, which manifests a Darwinian doctrine that hardens the heart into a nihilistic zero sum game of survival of the fittest. Natural selection. Green is disembodied with the divine, they unground themselves in lofty and utopian ideals that reality can’t accommodate, they equalise inequalities in unjust ways. Social selection. Stage Orange often receives more criticism for the damage it causes because it excels at accumulating power and developing influential tools. Their capability amplifies their shadow, making their ethical shortcomings and their impacts more visible on a global scale. Stage Blue’s shadow is less visible not because it’s inherently less damaging, but because it lacks the same level of development and leverage to affect the world. Blue’s shadow is potentially just as corpse filled as Orange's, they just haven't been afforded the platforms to project that ugliness on a grander scale yet - although we do see the shadow elements of blue hinged onto the power that orange has built through evangelical America ie Neocons or the messianic ultra Zionists. Modern tools of power built off dynamism, wielded by ancient dogma - different latitudes, same attitude. Both stages can produce individuals who commit unethical acts, but for different reasons. Stage Blue, because their morality is exclusionary. Stage Orange, because of disconnection to the soul (depth) in pursuit of the material (surface). Stage blues dogmatism stifles its ability to develop and get their hands on power. Stage oranges dynamism accelerates power accumulation and the development of tools that have global impact. Stage blue has a sense of morality that can balance and check power, but only within its own rigid framework that excludes those who aren’t in it and are deemed sinful. Stage orange can lack morality in pursuit of the material or be morally relativistic to justify the unjustifiable. Its disconnect from the soul manifests in its shadow when the powerful tools it gets its hands on are used to interfere and intervene in world affairs in unethical ways rather than interact and integrate with others on the world stage. A video of stage blue critiquing stage orange. Diagnosis requires critique, solutions require consciousness - so while he may diagnose the problem, he lacks the solution. Any self-obsessed perspective which sees itself as separate from the whole is going to birth horrors into the world. Stage blue’s exclusionary morality see’s itself separate from the whole in the context of caste colour and creed. Stage orange’s materialism and rationality severs us from the whole - empiricism tries to quantify qualities that are beyond measurement. They dismiss the existence of the divine simply because they can’t measure it. Not sure what’s worse, being soulless or having a distorted ego-centric connection to the soul. Stage orange cuts ties to the cosmic life source , stage blue instrumentalizes it to reinforce its tribal identities as the One True Path while demonising all other routes as sin-stained. Blue is spiritually bloated while Orange is a spiritual vacuum.
