We went from this to "There is a conflict and Israel has to admit they are wrong."

This position is taken by Leo considering the current genocidal circumstances in Gaza. Systemic thinking is fluid and practical enough to make black-white distinctions if it requires it. You are not going to extinguish a fire by analyzing all the actors & circumstances which caused the fire. First you need a water bucket.

I can't get behind this because why would someone change a universal rule because "Well now this side has gotten worse, so now I'm taking sides and breaking a universal rule."

And what precisely is the circumstance which means that we need an immediate bucket, and not analysis? Trump is the best example of this mentality. "Hamas wants peace and Israel wants to keep going." Just a complete detachment from the context of the fact that Hamas is explicitly genocidal and that Gazans salute Hitler. A complete detachment from the fact that Hamas wants to manipulate the public image because that's the #1 point of terrorism. And this ultimately amounts to saying that a certain race of people or a certain country shouldn't be able to defend itself, or at the very least deserves to be more shamed for minor moral failings during it's defense, than people who throw LGBTQ members off buildings or salute hitler.

All 3 of these attitudes are below SD tier 2. They'd all qualify for examples of how stage blue thinks.

@numbersinarow It's not about taking sides and clinging to it, it's about what is more important for the current situation. A clear opinion is practical in dire times. The reality is that you cannot do analysis and build up civilization from understanding the systemic issues at hand when we are still in war with each other.

Universal rules in the relative domain are imagined. The rules we accept are based on survival, so we imagine them to be universal.

The game "Alpha Centauri."

It's like civilization but in space.

All the factions are very clearly modelled after SD stages, except for the free information UN one, but that one could be argued to be influenced by purple.

And then there are psychic research options based on concepts from real life philosophers.

 George Soros

Hi guys, I have no idea who George Soros is, and browsing the web and asking AI gave me unclear answers. Currently in my country there are maybe more than half of the population who hate with all their being this Soros guy. Those people are in my eyes stage red/blue rednecks and fanatic Christians. It's basically like a MAGA movement who blame everything bad that has ever happened on this George Soros guy. I've made an opinion about him like this liberal, progressive philanthropist person who gave money to developing countries to help developing countries become more progressive.  
I want to know your opinion. Who is this guy and why the MAGA people make conspiracy theories about him and why they hate him so much?

[Loving Radiance]

@Daniel Balan He gets the hate from MAGA people because he advocates for green values using his money, like for LGBTQ+ rights, refugee aid, criminal justice reform, democratic movement, humane and rational immigration policies and international cooperation. In general, he is also seen as part of conspiracies because he is a Jewish billionaire philanthropist who influences global politics. Notice the bias in the conspiratorial thinking: the Koch brothers are also billionaires who influence global politics but get no hate cause they stand for conservative values. Soros is seen as satanic for the pre-modern worldview cause the pluralistic values he advocates for are seen as alien and as a thread for identity.

As I read under a video essay, "conspiracism is pre-modern thought applied to post-modern politics."

@Loving Radiance Thanks for the clarification. 

[Leo Gura]

I removed a lot of names from the list of Yellow examples.

I was too liberal in classifying people as Yellow. It's quite hard to find pure examples of Yellow.

@Leo Gura Elon Musk having been on that list for so long was a real disgrace to your work. Now to rectify that you should place him on the stage red list of examples
