Take a rest and enjoy paid unemployment for a while if you can! It's a great opportunity to reset your mind.

Absolutely yes, just from seeing the video title. There's so much bullshit and noise on the internet these days that you need a master's degree to tell the trash from valuable content.

Do you think lying in a job interview is justified? I think yes, because I have been fooled so many times and I think that we workers are at such a disadvantage that I think it's fair.

North Korea is poor because it is an absolute monarchy and treats its citizens like cattle. If you can't see that, you have a problem.

This reminded me of my first date with my current girlfriend. We went to a bar with music playing, I suggested we sit on a couch and she sat far enough away to prevent me from initiating contact. I spent the rest of the time in the bar thinking I had screwed up, since up to that point the night had been great. When we left the bar that same night we kissed. I think she just didn't want to make it too easy. It might be the same in your case.

I really wish for Kamala to win, but I still don't like when people vote for a candidate because they have a policy that will personally benefit them. This attitude is what sometimes causes politicians to make bullshit promises they know they won't keep. When voting for a candidate, one should consider the whole package.

I will send you a private message if you don't mind.

Thanks to you Now I'm in no hurry. I feel like I have 5-10 years to consolidate Stage Green horizontally.

I genuinely feel that I have recently entered stage green. It takes a lot of time, guys. it has taken me about 7 years. It's one thing to intellectually understand the concepts that Leo talks about and agree with them, and it's another to integrate them into your inner being. If anyone has questions on how to transition from Orange to Green, feel free to reach out to me, but for me, it boils down to the fact that someone in Stage Green is able to see reality in a broader way, without judging it based on what benefits them personally. Going from Blue to Orange was quite easier. I actually did it even before knowing Leo, as society somehow predisposes you to it, and if you're not too stubborn, you can reach Orange. But going from Orange to Green has been insanely difficult, so much self-deception, prejudice, and not wanting to open my eyes to reality. Plus society doesn't help, since it usually has a lot of bias against Green (at least where I live). Let's say that society agrees with your selfishness. It takes a lot of work guys, don't underestimate this shit.

The Islamic Golden Age, at least in Spain where I'm from and I know that part of the history relatively well,was spread through violence and agression.

That's my life purpose, but I don't know yet how to materialize it. My area of expertise is logistics and international trade, which I believe is difficult to venture into without exploiting employees since the margins are minimal. Plus I don't want to risk my life savings.

Look, the fact that the United States has attempted more coups and invaded more countries than Russia and China combined isn't because the latter have better morals or superior ethics. It's due to the economic and military dominance of the U.S., along with its cultural hegemony over the past 100 years through music, movies, and television. Opposition in third-world countries have repeatedly sought U.S. support because, deep down, they aspire to be like them. They believe they can replicate their success. No one wants to emulate a backwards dictatorship like Russia. Despite its flaws, limitations, and fanaticism, the United States is a much better place to live for most people. The United States has simply been more successful in its imperialism. Putin and Xi Jinping in their wet dreams aspire to do the same the americans has done. Anti-imperialists in this forum should aspire to something better than whitewashing failed dictatorships.

Don't throw your vote in the bin and stop holding maximalist positions.

Before imperialism, there was tribalism, endless wars between tribes. Imperialism by brute force brought peace to many places where there had only been wars. It was an innovation at the time. Certainly, it has no place in today's world, but we need to look at things with perspective and not be carried away by emotions.

Fear has been proven throughout history to be a brutally effective tool.

If this data is true, it seems that Islam takes advantage of the division within the rest of society. With a simple majority, they are able to dominate the country.

They are forced to wear veils to protect them from sexual harassment from other men.

You have to admit the guy is coherent, few pro-Russia supporters in the West would be brave enough to actually move to Russia. It’d be interesting to see how he survives there, whether through the local economy or with passive income from Canada. It would be quite hypocritical of him to live in Russia while criticizing the West if his livelihood still depends on it. I also want to see how long his honeymoon with Russia lasts. I remember years ago following a Frenchman living in Russia who was pro-Putin. In the end, the guy was honest enough to change his position and admit that living in Russia isn’t as great as white nationalists make it out to be. P.S. The Russian countryside is really beautiful.

Well explained. Do you know any documentary that explains this conflict from a green (non-radical) perspective?

Most of the conquistadors came from low nobility, good lineage, but poor. Many had no future in Spain, and some were even criminals who had their sentences pardoned in exchange for going to America. Religious started arriving in big numbers later and played a big role in reducing the exploitation of indigenous people, often clashing with landowners who mistreated indians. Meanwhile, the spanish crown sent officials to oversee, they considered the indigenous people as citizens, just like Christians in Castile (largely because they would pay taxes). The problem was that the crown also demanded wealth to fund wars in Europe, so the conquistadors if they wanted to be rich and gain royal recognition, had little choice but to enslave indigenous people for cheap labor in agriculture or mining. Spain did pass laws to limit or prohibit abuse, but by the time royal emissaries arrived It had already been a long time, also a common response from the conquistadors was, "I obey but I do not comply." America was simply too far away for effective control. The most violent phase of the conquest was early on, up until the mid-16th century. It's easy to see why things got so brutal: first, the people who went to the Americas weren't the best of Spanish society. Second, they were far from Spain without supervision. Third, they were incredibly greedy, to a level that’s hard to grasp. Fourth, and often overlooked, the Spanish were actually a minority and conquered with the help of indigenous allies, but they never fully trusted them and lived in constant paranoia. The indigenous people were skilled at plotting conspiracies against the Spaniards. At any sign that the Indians were conspiring to kill them, the Spanish would strike first, killing them treacherously.

I honestly believe you are wrong here, but you've mind fucked me so many times before that I'm not completely confident I have the truth on this. What I can tell you is that I have come to this conclusion after reading history from serious English historians and accounts from conquistadors, not hearsay from bullshit spanish nationalistic pseudohistorians.

Being a right-winger is one of the biggest traps for young men. You think you have everything figured out and that leftists are stupid. While your worldview isn’t entirely wrong, it is very myopic and narrow. I know this quite well because I was one for 20 years. Ridiculing and insulting them doesn’t help at all, in fact, it’s counterproductive because it makes them close off even more. For me now, it’s also very tempting to mock them, since you can clearly see their limitations. But the counterintuitive move here is not to demonize them, 95% of them genuinely believe they are doing good for the world.

I don't think the word "genocide" is the most accurate, I would rather say it was an extermination. I know the history of the Spanish conquistadors quite well, and there was no deliberate or even centralized plan to exterminate the natives, although in many cases it happened due to viruses, wars, marginalization of the indigenous people, which led them to not reproduce or commit suicide, etc.

England's 'worst street' is not representative of the entire West.

If you have a vocation for public service, I find it more practical to join or support a political party in your local community.
