  1. Grass is greener on the other side type shit. Americans aren't enslaving and genociding their neighbors. Just because your economically pessimistic doesn't necesarilly mean that the dictatorship is unequivocally better. Only perhaps better in certain specific regards. This whole tanky shit is brainrot.
  2. So? Doesn't mean an unmitigated China is good for the world. Your just supporting the other empire.
  3. China has the RSF rank 175/180. It's one of the worst countries to be in a journalist in. https://rsf.org/en/propaganda-monitor-rsf-exposes-china-s-global-campaign-distort-journalism-worldwide It is stuff like this why China isn't trusted. You can't even adequately have a dialogue about the truth of the country itself. Its funny too how having literal concentration camps is kind of glozed over. I don't want that running the world.
  4. Fundamental differences in how to run a government on a philosophical level. Its a dictatorship which does not have the same commitments to liberalism and sovereignty. People don't want that running the world. If china can't have small nation neighbours without wanting to attack them they are not fit for the mantle. It's like a wild animal. You literally have to cage them in militarily to keep their aggression in check. Saudis and especially Israel now are demonized plenty for the same reasons. Its mainly people who are personally involved with Israel who glaze it. You don't quiet have your facts straight. I don't understand the millenial China glazers man. Is it just "west sucks" brain turn off? Like those pro-Russia fuck Ukraine lefties sheerly because they just hate the west that much.
  5. To be fair to the big J, he was a prominent cult leader and they did come to him for advice, like with that story of the whoring woman who they wanted to execute. It be like if the CIA asked for you opinion on invading Iraq and everyone cared. He would either have to be their mouth piece and lie to himself or roll with the consequences.
  6. Pharisees disliked Jesus because he undermined their institutional authority over religious law. A revered cult leader criticizes them for valuing the formality of scripture over the actual essence it is supposed to point to. In this context, valuing the formalization of scripture and biblical law over the essence and spirituality they are supposed to cultivate, which they didn't even embody ("may the first one without sin throw the stone at her") To the pharisees, religion was predominately a survival strategy to gain status and power. Much of this critique rings true of academia in the modern world, which tend to value accreditation over truth. Invariably, institutions become political entities, and their survival takes precedent over their proclaimed mission, often twisting it. Like, if your mission is truth, by prioritizing survival you must reject truth whenever it's unconducive to survival. I wonder if humanity can ever solve this problem entirely when it comes to their institutions? The pharisees and others worked with the Romans to have Jesus killed because he threatened to destabilize their power. It's quiet the hypocrisy from men of the cloth. Not chud christian posting btw. I'm not even religious.
  7. I don't understand why certain conservative Americans are so pro-Israel to the point of it being identity. Is it the WW2 hero complex? I understand Israel being strategically important, but this fervor does not seem entirely rational.
  8. As if ganging up on ginger boy is going to make a difference. Shut the fuck up. Get over yourself. What it really is is group think and ideology. Mob mentality. Bullying a fucking musician for having the "wrong opinion".
  9. You should be able to tell algorythmic slop from a glance. The only AI prediction that seems credible is its actual use being much less than the hype. That's normal for sillicone valley hype cycles.
  10. You'll need a degree if you want to do 1:1 licensed therapy. Depending on the rules where you live, you make people sign waivers if your not licensed and providing 1:1 emotional work ("alternative medicine"). People like Tony Robbins or Teal Swan who just give advice broadly don't even have a college degree.
  11. We live now in a media environment that is much more politicized than when Ed Sheeran first became big. He's part of a dying breed of mainstream entertainment and thinks you can just impartial your way through. It must be culture shock for him. You could say that you shouldn't have to deal with political fans but that's just reality now.
  12. Crying to your audience is PR. Just unintentional and bad. Bro just needs some balls. If he wants to have a cry he could just bury his face in his goth mommy's thighs and wipe away the tears with wads of cash.
  13. He's being a bitch, crying on stage. It's the worst thing he could've done. It just empowers the Palestine psychos. They smell the blood in the water. He can't get over that all his LA friends evaporate like Thanos when their career goals don't align. Bro is rich and the same pro-palestine hoes would still suck his dick. He should've just powered through. How many times has Trump been "canceled"? It doesn't work if you don't care.
  14. Reddit is genuinely bad for the internet overall. Its turning people into brainrotted losers.
