@sweethoneybaby If I'm understanding you, youre saying white people aka caucasions are distinct from all other humans as they have some % of neanderthal dna and as such are more violent. That's fine you can say that but the fact is the way it plays at sociologically is that you have in-groups and out-groups and out-groups can be victims of great violence and oppression. Some of the biggest genocides are nothing to do with Caucasians. Native Americans, aztecs, Egyptians, China under Mao, vietnam etc etc most civilizations operated in this way. The argument you can make with Caucasians is that they had advanced technology relative to other human groups at the time, which allowed them to other lands and take over. But it could've been the same and was in some cases for example the moors from Africa going into southern Europe for example. So no this is not just case of Caucasions having faulty dna if that was the case how would you explain everything I've brought up which is only the tip of the iceberg? -
Its happened before though, Greece won the euros in 2004 i think and were even more defensive than Morocco, so there is precedent for it working, albeit not very often. I put money on France to win at the start of the tournament anyway so i still think theyll do it

I don't really get your point, but the concept of race is an illusion debunked by science, every human is 99.9% genetically similar. However 'race', can and is often used as a proxy to distinguish in-groups and out-groups. Race is used as a justification for bad treatment of the out-group. A lot of internal conflict in countries is due to the out-group having enough and fighting for the rights, eg the catholics in Ireland. If force and intimidation doesn't work against the out-group, then they are usually gaslit and told they are trouble makers and sometimes that they are genetically inferior, which is when we come back around to racism. Examples of this dynamic include the Israel conflicts, African-Americans in the USA obviously during slavery but also after (the effects of which still linger), south Africa apartheid, Asians in USA in the 19th century. Essentially when any new group moves to a richer country there are usually problems, despite the fact that the new group will usually be willing to work harder and actually all things considered are a net positive economically for the country. In some ways they can't do anything right, if they're hard working, they get accused of taking natives jobs, if they're not hard working they're accused of being lazy. Also more focus is put on the criminals of the new group alcan attempt to paint the whole group as criminal, despite the fact that every group of people will have a criminal element. Again this is racism designed to frame the outgroup as less than. Final point it is important to talk about racism, otherwise people can be oppressed using the dynamic I outlined and not talking about racism can essentially be a way to shut the oppressed people up. This is done in colombia fir example where black people do get treated differently, however the conversation is very difficult because every colombian is taught to think of themselves as colombian first. Therefore it makes the conversation about black people being treated differently a lot more complicated as they have less of an individual identity. This may not have been the intention of Colombia but it is the result. So its better to be open and honest when talking about race. -

His titles are terrible but I think this is the result of working with a marketing company that's responsible for them. There was a major marketing push from him around the time of the pandemic which 'worked' as it resulted in a lot of new subs. Ultimately its Brands channel and his responsibility though. -

No, in reality non-duality would be at odds with new age, because non-duality would be the dropping of identity and beliefs. New age is a very distinct identity and has its own belief systems ie crystals, anti-government etc. If you look at non-dual teachers like Tolle or Spira you wouldn't say they have a new age identity, they dress very basically but not in robes for example. But apart from the aesthetics it is very different philosophically, however a lot of new age can get into people like Tolle but they tend to revere them as almost like Gods on earth. A lot of them are completely devoted to a guru. I think a lot of these gurus actually think they're a little crazy and non-dual teachings are to get them out of this kind of worship they do. -

Had exactly the same experience with him, which is a shame because I think he was a really good teacher -
Hey man, i think i might be able to help, if you'd be interested in a session via zoom just drop me a pm, I have done sessions with others on here as well.

Ive actually got an Auntie who believes that Trump is the second coming of a biblical figure and there has been a prophecy that he will rid the world of evil or something. Shes a devout catholic but i think here main issue is the abortion thing, so she will support whoever she feels is anti-abortion and buy into any ideology that explains why trump in this case is great. The funny thing is Trump probably doesnt even care about abortion. But i will check out the books you suggested

I have a theory that most mgtow guys aren't choosing to go their own way, they just can't get any success with dating so they make it seem like they're choosing. You can only choose if you actually have both options. It's like the Chris Rock joke, you can't boycott something you weren't invited to, he says 'I can't just boycott getting into Rhiannas pants, I wasn't invited!' Saying that there's value in working on yourself, do that until you have got a choice and then go from there

There's a book called 'escaping the rabbit hole' by Mick West. Specifically on thr subject of how to talk to a loved one about these conspiracies, it's free on audible if you have sub

It's crazy how he's leaving all these far right people completely stunned, it's almost a good tool in highlighting the limits of how far the far-right commentators will go. Who knew they actually stopped at anti-semitism

What or who do you class as the devil, are they physical or an entity, or how you describe it? Genuinely interested

I'm so confused! Who is a pedophile, is anyone a pedophile????

True lol, it's funny how the ego never likes being sincere, it always wants to win or at least perceive its winning. He could just be being funny though

Amazing!

Are you trolling? If so this is kinda genius

These final group games are exciting, you genuinely couldn't predict these outcomes. I think a lot of the smaller nations are catching up to the bigger ones so looking forward to the rest of the tournament

I would love to hear you rap bro, but this vid came into my head when you said 'burry him for good,privately'.

He's on info wars saying he loves Hitler now. Thing is you could actually say this and it be true but I think he's just saying it for shock or I getbthat feeling anyway.

?? the guy was looking like a villain, these guys would definitely be the bad guys if it was film

Become good at recognising it first within yourself then it will be easier to spot in others

@Raptorsin7 What did he say he was going to do for you in the sessions? As in were you expecting him to get you to an enlightenment state or what was the nature of it?

Well done man!

@Fuku Heres the issue as I see it, youre doing all these self improvement habits, or at least putting pressure on yourself to do them because you think there will be a desired outcome. In your case you believe you will 'ascend'. If you break this down, it basically means you dont believe you are good enough now and you need to do a, b and c so that you then become 'good enough'. It doesnt seem to matter whether you like doing the thing or not, youre just going to power through because it is a sacrifice youre willing to make to get where you want to be. This is an exhausting way to live life, its no wonder that youve had enough, if everyday youre thinking youre not good enough and either forcing yourself to do things or making yourself feel bad about not doing things. A better way to handle it is dont worry about what the outcome is going to be, take away the fantasy of ascending, imagine that never happens, wouldnt you want to just do stuff that you enjoy and that challenges you? This is what you should focus on. I like going to the gym for example but not a lot of people like it and they would have to force themselves to do it. I really dislike the exercise bike for example, if i had to do that every time I go to the gym it would be like torture for me, I'd be able to do it if is was feeling really motivated but otherwise it would be so hard. I youre only doing things you have to be really motivated for, its just not going to be sustainable. Pick things that actually get you motivated once you start doing them, or you just enjoy so much you dont need to be motivated to do. But overall i think youre just too outcome dependent and this is over shadowing everything. Someone suggested IFS which is a great therapy, you have to learn to accept and love yourself where you are now, not some mythical ascended version of you that will come into being if you do all your self-improvement habits.

Yeah i did gain a bit of respect for Pool here which i never wouldve expected, but i wouldnt say Lex didnt push back, I just think the way he handles conversations is usually charitable and he tries to steelman whoever hes talking to. He still pushed Ye quite a lot and obviously it affected him because he got quite agitated. On a separate note, the exact same thing happened here in the UK a couple years ago. Theres a rapper called Wiley who is known as the godfather of grime, had chart success, i think he was given an mbe from the royal family etc. But he has that same kind of mad genius, creative trait that Ye has. He tweeted essentially the same conspiracy Ye is talking about and he was pretty much cancelled -
