I don't think you've spent much time in English nightlife culture. That's where they take all the emotional repression and let it out in a few hours. Similiar things in other European countries. Its not healthy but its how its done. Sporting events also.

People still don't understand how the world works. Threaten something enough and it grows more resolved not weaker. Its just instinct. Huge population, Huge Economy. Irrelevant? Check your bias.

Can I speak plain. Because money is less of a god here. This is not an insult I have no other word that would substitute. If I said cultural differences, that's too weak a definition. Almost every decision Americans make seems to be based on money. I am somewhat like this and I have a great friend saying things like, just go with the flow, that I overthink it.

Because there is a recession on. Nobody wants to say it because they've realised on some level that it creates a worse version of it. People spend less, they act in a more conservative way financially and that means cash doesn't circulate. So we'll say we are coming out of harder times. I honestly believe we've gone over the hump, despite the fact some price rises are yet to come. *If anyone has an above average income, they will never fully understand that 50% of the country is having a harder time than they are. That's a huge chunk of the culture, politic (foreign and domestic), social dynamics, etc going on. Always raise the base and average up if you want a more stable society. This doesn't have to be financially either, financial assistance or betterment alone tends to just decrease the value of existing currencies, which doesn't help long term. Its everything else you can possibly think of.

Hopefully, this will help you in seeing that others go through what you do, and in 1 of these 100 men you will find a reflection you can relate to. I did a search to see if this was posted somewhere but couldn't see it, sorry if it is.

If we all want mature politics, we've got to pick average men and women, working average lives and focus on them. Raise the average up. Not all this focus on billionaires, playboys, and extremists of any kind on the political spectrum. Its not healthy for the collective in their own framing of life; it's disconnected from everyday people and not practical.

There is part of the human psyche that still needs addressing in children in many households being reflected a lot. I've been seeing different examples in what people have told me they've been interacting with recently, both in their young children, and in adults who didn't have that part of themselves parented. It's in a lot of people. That is the part that does things because it isn't given attention, acts out, and has a desperate need to be noticed. Here is the practical stupidity. They could have done all they've done. Changed the hand signal to something else. Not identifying themselves with Nazi's, white nationalists etc using a different word, whatever, and a large number of people would still kiss the ground they walk on. What you get instead is this 'oh we are not really fascists or nazi's' despite the fact they embody most fascist principles. This bending of reality that people engage in is why I carry so much hate. The other half of people bend it the other way, to try and fit their own definitions. Its just putting your fingers up at people for the sake of it to get a reaction to stay in people's focus. Politics are a ridiculous reality TV show. Don't give it too much focus. Oh did he didn't... he did.... let's make 500 videos on it speaking about the man. Waste of the human species time.

To experience, and to keep reality being created. Consciousness -------> | (Reflection) (Decided-Meaning-Reality) ------> | Consciousness Loop, begin again. -
I follow people that do. One guy produces music that is about a minute long and does it each week to build a following over a few years. I'm sure they do other promotion too, but online seems a significant part of it. He advocates for short songs precisely because of what you are describing, and it brings him more money when people go through the different songs on the music sites because they are short. I doubt he's making much off his youtube or tiktok videos but the point is just to send people to the songs.

If I were to critique something negatively, with the ideology you have, you would have resistance to hearing it, whereas the next guy might just shrug and say meh whatever, he'd maintain his state and you would get stuck in that downward spiral construct you are speaking about. I do this in a certain way myself, usually by viewing the wider world and seeing things I hate it in, which alters my state into lower ones obviously. -

This is also a constructed way of thinking. Saying X = Y is a construct. I'll not say what I perceive as bad things so only what I perceive as good things happen is a very rigid construction of your mind. Then I'll not allow others to say 'bad things' is even more rigid. If you want infinite love or the higher parts of your charts as a daily experience, you'd have to love what you currently push away, as exampled here. Its standard mentoring in this field to push at your constructs, ideologies, beliefs, etc. -

Your self could want for eternity and never get that want. It just tends to be in these more loving states that you describe that people have accepted who they are, aligned with life, got out of their own way, healed themselves, and improved their lives in many ways that things happen for them. They are also happier with simpler things often, so they are happy to start with. It doesn't necessarily mean it's easy even then to achieve something great. -
For music I am not convinced of this. Because it's all about how much someone or a group of people hears a song.

When I asked him about his political positions, and why he doesn't advocate for strategy in his answers as I tend to, he answered it was because he doesn't want people stuck on different stages of awareness. So he'll critique socialism because it helps move their political positions off stage green, I would assume the same is true here to get people off whatever stage they relate to in their politics. Generally speaking its good to get your political opinions pushed at, so you don't get too set in your ways. -

When I hear this I wish I could remember the group in India who specifically were angry all the time but were highly conscious. Maybe someone can remember the name. I say that to bend this construct on emotions you have a bit. I like the charts but they are not an absolute, for one by how many different charts people have lol, and for two the vibration of your life goes up and down naturally in your experience. Anger for me is incredibly useful in the right context for example, and when I need to get angry I hope I always am, but I am getting off track. What of yourself sitting here now believes that hearing something that disagrees with you is unpleasant, and hearing things that agree with you is pleasant? That's probably the most useful point I can raise. *Sorry for double post my internet is lagging
