@The Crocodile I have the utmost respect for the police! And every law enforcement mechanism that there is. From where I am there is no police, no judge and no legal system. From this lens you would understand why I said the things I said. You can't appreciate the police unless you live somewhere where there is no police.

If I had a magic wand I would unalive all the people who behave violently towards others, who shit on the sovereignity of others, who give zero fucks about the lives of others, who are here only to prey and to exploit the defenseless people, I would anihilate everyone who does harm to others who steals or violate the life of any being be it animal or human. I would unalive all their offsprings aswell because I've never seen a garbage human birth a child that didn't inherit all their genetic devilry from their father. Those people have no right to be on this earth. NONE. Devils place is in hell not here on earth. And before you say that what I advocate makes me a garbage human too, I HAVE NEVER EVER IN MY LIFE done wrong to anybody on this earth. NONE. I've been living my life with the upmost consideration of other's soveregnity since I was in kindergarden. And I truly despise and I wish death and anihilation to anybody doing evil. I wish all the devils that is about time that THE VILE CREATURES RECEIVE THEIR JUST REWARD!!!!!

I hate y'all for your holistic takes on everything. To you nothing is black and white to you folks everything comes is many degrees. THAT IS BS. That MF is a devil who shot in cold blood 2 officers. What were the officers supposed to do? Give him candies to get out of the car? Give him a present? LEAVE ME ALONE with your justifications for why that garbage did what he did. The police did exactly right to teaser him. For half an hour you tell him to go out the car, he still fucks around and defies their order. If I could create a law I would say that when you refuse to comply to the orders from a police officers your rights to live are officially over!!!

I think you are wrong Leo! When you are at the dentist you don't shoot at him if he takes out a bad tooth. The same way you don't shoot at a police officer after you drive like a lunatic and refuse for half an hour to get out of the car. Bears should be caged or live in the mountains not in a society. People like that devil should not be anything but tasered and beaten all day long until the devil comes out of them.

"Every policy that a socialist calls for is in fact the cause of the problem that they are trying to solve" They call for rent control to lower the rents, and then wonder why rents end up being higher than they were before rent control, and why there are slumlords and housing shortages. They don’t realise the knock-on effects of their policies. They just want to save society - and that’s great! But: "The short-term gain hides the long-term cost." I encourage everyone to take a deep look at the video above and to subscribe to TIK History! To me TIK History is on par with Actualized.org in terms of thorough research and tier 2 development! When I see TIK explain various topics regarding history and doing parallels with what's happening today in the world makes me think that I am so lucky to have been exposed to such beautiful minds such as TIK and @Leo Gura. To me TIK is the Leo of history in terms of how he approaches his work.

@Girzo Would you please recommend me a book about economics? I would like to read one to grasp a bit about this topic which I totally admit that I am illiterate in.

But I am sorry that I said TIK is tier 2. In retrospect he clearly isn't but I still think he is a very developed orange! To me he is embodying everything positive in stage orange! And guys you are a bit too harsh. He ain't no libertarian! He is pro capitalism that's all. He has a bias against socialists and a fairly justified one none the less.

And when I say socialist I don't mean the type of socialism that Bernie Sanders advocates or the left leaning activists, that is not socialism that is a form of capitalism that has the greed and the bullshit extracted away from it. What I mean when I say socialism is what is happening in my home country! A new leader rose to proeminence for calling the nationalization of every factory and production outlet, the fact that the state should hold 51% of the shares of every bussiness in Romania, and the isolation of the country from the western world so that the country shall produce everything within. This guy is a fascist with positive views on war criminals from ww2, has ultra nationalistic rhetoric and says the word god, every 5 words. That is the socialism that breeds fascism that I warn about!

@Leo Gura Thank you for the warning Leo! But what TIK is saying about history in my eyes is extremely accurate! He said that the NSDAP party had used populism to garner the support needed to obtain a significant number of seats in the german parliament! Which is true! Fascists will use socialism to appeal to the working class, the same working class which will be later used as cannon fodder for their fascist ambition be it war or be it ultra nationalistic state controled isolationist economy! To me in order to achieve fascism you need ultra nationalism and socialism. Here TIK is correct. Hitler was a socialist who was also a extreme nationalist who was very openly racist and above all he was anti liberal! Failing to understand that calls for revolution, calls for destroying capitalism, calls for nationalization lead to full blown fascist authoritarianism. I hope I get my point across this time!

I stand corrected! I've seen just now a video which I haven't seen before about how TIK views the state intervention in society! Although he is biased on certain libertarian policies, I would still seek to look at the bigger picture that he is presenting! Which is looking at past events and current ones with a keen eye to understand why certain things have unfolded the way it did. Also his bible in terms of economics is this in the image! Have you guys read it? I haven't and I would like to know if you liked it.

@aurum Everyone has different views on different topics, I find value in what he is saying. He is not a libertarian, nor a anti - socialist, How I view it, he tries to find the middle ground and to point out at different aspects of each economic ideology. My role as a spectator is to find nuggets of truth from multiple sources. From Leo I have one piece of the puzzle, from TIK I have another, and so on, even from Tate if you toss away all the bullshit that he promotes you can still find valuable pieces of the puzzle.

@Lyubov Isn't tier 2 supposed to acknowledge different perspectives? Are his takes wrong about how some socialist policies backfire in the face of the very people socialism tries to help? I deeply condemn the use of the word blasphemy. You can disagree, it is your right, but in a tier 2 discussion you can't just outright dismiss one's point of view just because you have already taken a stance regarding a subject. Tier 2 is about open mindedness towards topics. Plus he is not anti socialistic, he values the welfare state and everything that it brings, he just points out that policies have often on the long term opposite outcomes than initially intended.

@aurum I've watched dozens of hours of his content an I can say hands down that this is tier 2 content. All his takes are factual, well thought and based on nuanced, multi source research. Just because he is not parroting the same errors that mainstream takes have had about various ideologies and events doesn't mean that he is making many errors, I've never sensed any error from him in over 20+ hours of content. If you had found a error in his rhetoric we can debate it. History lies in the heart of the debate!

I highly recommend this video for understanding that National Socialism was in my eyes a skewed form of Socialism. Not to be confused with mainstream stage Green Socialism. National Socialism was in deed far right in regards to everything except the socialist economic control and ideological framework of racial unity and state dominance. I've read Leo's blog post https://www.actualized.org/insights/was-hitler-far-left-or-far-right and although I agree with 99% I disagree in the association between national socialism and capitalism. I've put both the blog post and the transcript of the video in an AI chat and I asked it to compare both. Here is what it says. Here's a concise fact-check of the statements from the second text based on the long transcript: Claims from Second Text: Hitler was a far-right ultra-nationalist.Fact-Check: Correct, but the transcript argues this nationalism was tied to socialist economic control. Banned German Communist and Democratic Socialist parties.Fact-Check: True, but also noted that Hitler aimed to replace them with his form of socialism. Ended democracy in Germany.Fact-Check: Correct, aligning with the transcript's point on totalitarian state control. Hitler viewed Marxism as a Jewish plot.Fact-Check: Confirmed by the transcript, which shows Hitler's anti-Marxism was part of his anti-Semitic and anti-capitalist stance. Nazism as extreme nationalism.Fact-Check: True, but the transcript emphasizes this nationalism included socialist economic policies. Nazis held traditional conservative values.Fact-Check: Partially true; however, the transcript argues these values were used within a socialist framework for state control. Businesses in Nazi Germany were privately owned.Fact-Check: Nominally true, but the transcript explains this was under state control, not free-market capitalism. Some industries were privatized.Fact-Check: Correct, but the transcript clarifies this was state-guided "privatization" for control. Heavy state control for nationalist goals.Fact-Check: Correct, this is central to the transcript's argument of socialist control. Industrialists made huge profits.Fact-Check: Profits existed, but heavily taxed and regulated by the state according to the transcript. Banned independent labor unions.Fact-Check: True, the transcript discusses the creation of the German Labour Front as state control over labor. Hitler divided the world by ethnicity.Fact-Check: True, with an emphasis on racial socialism in the transcript. Nazis were anti-pluralist.Fact-Check: Correct, the transcript underscores this through the elimination of minorities. "Blood and soil" slogan.Fact-Check: True, highlighting racial and socialist ideology. Holocaust denial as right-wing.Fact-Check: The transcript does not directly address this but implies that denying Hitler's socialism aids Holocaust denial. Nazism's gender roles and anti-egalitarianism.Fact-Check: True, but within a broader socialist control narrative per the transcript. Nazism was anti-intellectual.Fact-Check: True, but the transcript frames this within state control over education and culture. Nazism opposed democracy and liberal values.Fact-Check: Correct, aligning with the transcript's description of totalitarian socialism. Conclusion: The second text accurately describes many political and social aspects of Nazism as right-wing, but the long transcript adds nuance by arguing that these were implemented through socialist economic control, making National Socialism a unique blend of nationalist, racist, and socialist policies. The transcript refutes the idea that Nazi economic policy was capitalist, emphasizing state control and ideological socialism.

@Leo GuraAgain, you probably assume that because you believe that stage purple cannot build nations, which is correct, that's why you need the stage blue coating, but let's imagine that stage purple can built a nation of the extent of Nazi Germany, once it accomplishes that, what is this nation's objectives? Given their purple level of development? Isn't it exactly what the Nazis actually did between 1933 and 1945? To me it is! Only a stage purple nation will aim to destroy the "Subhumans" which are other tribes aka nations that undermine their survival. So that's what the nazis did! They went on a quest to destroy the tribes that opposed their agenda and to take their land. If this isn't something that you yourself have talked in your stage purple video that tribes want to conquer neighbouring tribes to take their resources then I admit being wrong. I think that here is just a difference of scale in case of 20th century fascism rather that stage of development. The reason that more classic stage purple tribes in the Amazon forest haven't done the same horrific evil as the fascists of the 20th century is simply SCALE! At the core, in my eyes, there is no difference! The level of development of nationalists and tribes from the Amazon IS THE SAME!!!

@Leo Gura Why? To me all this Aryan master race BS screams PURPLE. Even the swastika is a pagan symbol. You talked about symbolism in your Stage Purple video. And I do not strictly refer to Nazism, I mostly refer to fascism and Orthodox Christianity, which in my eyes have a coating of blue, but the core is stage purple! Purple is the one who adores their dead forebears and adheres to the most dumb traditions! To me the most stark example of purple is Ortodox Christianity! I admit that I have a very skewed view of the world and of Spiral Dynamics. But through my experience religion is mostly stage purple BS. I admit myself that I am at stage red, where I deeply rebel against religion.

@Leo Gura And don't you think that going hyper toxic orange can actually regress the whole society back to a less developed stage? I think that going hyper capitalistic can also cause a big backlash like what happened in Nazi Germany prior to 1933. In my opinion in the aftermath of this ideological war the society will be less developed that before the Trump era back in 2016. So after all this shit show is over we will be no were near the point we were before all this began.

@aurum @Leo GuraI do believe I am not wrong here! My understanding of blue is as follows: Discipline and obedience to authority. Rigid thinking and us vs them mentality. Order and structure and deep respect for the ethnicity of one's group. In general for me blue is living life in conformity and discipline. Here is what purple means for me: Herd mentality and irrational belief in the Christian God above everything else. Barbarism and tribalism!( My ethnicity and my view of the world trumps others, Only my way is correct! Others are wrong) Close mindedness. The ultra focus on traditions, rituals, mysticism and the forever commemoration of the forebears. The glorification of violence and conquest for the greater good of the community! Defeating adversaries that have different beliefs than myself. I know what the Spiral Dynamics model is contradicted by my assumptions but I believe one of the greatest mistakes we can make is to think rigidly inside the already defined model(Spiral Dynamics). To me I see that the model overestimates the amount of development that humans have achieved so far. From my direct experience everyone is 2 stages lower. For me what you call Green I call Blue. For me there are 3 Tiers of development. Purple and Red are tier 1. Blue, Orange and Green are tier 2. And Yellow and Turquoise are tier 3. Spiral dynamics in my eyes fatally places Christianity as stage Blue. I live in Romania, and here after living for 24 years in a Orthodox Christian society, I completely grasped that Ortodox Christianity falls in the definition of purple I laid above. To me stage blue is a stage where for the first time in history the human starts to behave more like a rational being than a lame ape. And what I see around me is ignorant apes everywhere. I think you guys under appreciate the amount of development that is required to even reach blue! And in my eyes mankind is mostly at purple and red! Our political and societal situation is the biggest proof that what I said above could be at least partly true!

@Leo Gura National Socialism was as totalitarian and authoritarian as a regime can get, on a slider of totalitarianism national socialism it's at the maximum limit on that scale! But we have to make distinctions here! I argue that what you said here in the blog post is misleading: Most businesses in Nazi Germany were privately owned. Private property existed. Some industries were denationalized and privatized Hitler allowed German industrialists to earn huge profits Independent labor unions were banned. Worker rights and strikes were suppressed. Those affirmations above may induce a sense that Nazi Germany had a capitalist economic system. Which is wrong. Businesses were part of state-controlled cartels, and their operations were dictated by state policies, not market forces. The state had the power to intervene in every business transaction, making private ownership in name only. State-Controlled Privatization: What was called "privatization" was more about state control through nominally private entities. The state often nationalized businesses first and then sold them to individuals or entities aligned with national socialist ideology, who were then subject to extensive state control. This was not privatization in the capitalist sense but a method to enhance state control over the economy. Profit for State Benefit: While industrialists could earn profits, these were heavily regulated, taxed, and could be confiscated under various pretexts. In 1941, industrialists were complaining that 80 to 90 percent of their profits were being taken by the state. Profits were seen as a means to fund state objectives, not as an end in themselves. Although independent labor unions were indeed banned, they were replaced by the German Labour Front (DAF), which was a state-controlled entity. This was part of the socialist policy of state control over all aspects of life, including labor. I do emphasize the fact that we should see that national socialism should be seen as the enemy of capitalism because as you said in your blog post Hitler’s nationalist agenda was similar to Christian Nationalism and Project 2025. That means that we are living in times where history repeats itself and if we are not careful we might mistake the fascist movement that is going on world wide with something that is improving capitalism, which is FALSE! Fascism is the Kryptonite of capitalism, of free markets and Democracy! FASCISM is deeply illiberal and controlling. And my critique with this post is that one should never put FASCISM and Capitalism in the same sentence -because that is the mistake that led to the second election of Trump. If people realised that Ultra - Nationalism, creating a ethno - Christian state only serves to the destruction of capitalism and the rise of Fascism which at it's core is totalitarian authoritarian socialism.

I want to know what you think of this guys

Also as a side note, @Leo Gura often said that on the spiral fascism and nazism are at the lower end of blue. My opinion after knowing this model for 6 years, I realized that everyone is actually 2 stages below I firstly assumed. Having said that, I think fascism and nazism are actually stage purple, why? Their belief in mysticism! How animalistic and how brutal they behave against people that they view as inferior, the notion of Lebensraum, which is about taking living space in the east, in my mind it depicts a very stage purple image, Leo also said that Christians are stage blue, which I also believe that are actually at stage purple, I see the elements of stage blue in them but to me that is just the coating, which hides underneath a very dense core of purple. It might seem total BS what I just said here but that is what my intuition is telling me after seeing reality only just through my own lenses.

@Leo Gura One can only go green if he surrenders on purpose all the egoic benefits of orange for the sake of all the other beings. Much like I give up some of my comfort so that others can enjoy a peaceful life too. The problem is that Green is a colective stage, so as an orange individual you must make sacrifices for the community for the sake of the community without gaining anything in return. I think this shift from individualist to collectivist is the biggest obstacle in going beyond orange. And I think that the same problem is preventing Yellow into going into Turquoise.

@Leo Gura Thank you for responding. And I also thank you for your latest blog post about the truth. This is what I understood: Truth means to behave and to think and to exist as "Saint like" as possible. Eg. To follow the golden rule. Treat others as you would like to be treated. To care about the consequences of every action that you do. To fully respect the sovereignty of other beings. To behave maturely in society. To think twice before you speak or you are about to do something. To drive safely, seatbelt fastened and no phone while driving. To take your time and objectively analyse the stage of development and the policies of candidates when you vote for an election. And so on. This is what you made me realize as being the truth trough Actualized.org. I know that I have a very shallow understanding of this concept but this is what I understand at my level of development. Firstly I thought I was green, then I realized that I was orange, now I finally understood after starting to integrate some of the work aspects you mention that I am actually Blue/Red. I have a ton of work to do, and I understood that mankind is much lower on the spiral than I initially thought.

Question for @Leo Gura. Throughout your actualized.org teachings, you always emphasized the importance of one's life being governed by The Truth. And in your blog post about the bible being written by The Devil you once again called for aligning one's self with The Truth as the ultimate solution to reducing one's self deception and corruption. I am very confused about what this Truth means. Because after I watched your video The power of not knowing, It made me realize that I don't know what the truth is in any situation. Earlier this month I asked you to define what the work that must be done in order to become a tier 2 human entails. Now please explain to us in a 1 2 3 format what are all the aspects that are integral to the truth. I have the utmost recognition and respect for everything that you have contributed to me personally and to mankind as a hole. Kind Regards!

@OBEler I appreciate your friendly tone of response, I use my money very carefully, I spend money on food, and on urgent household payments, I am very careful on how I spend it. But I will educate myself about crypto sometime in the future.
