Arabs could sense the vibe of deteriorating order in their bones. Agree. The current government we have is a hugh problem. 🌲 You can rarely pretend to give an effective advice to someone just from the fact that you cannot see the unique inner logic behind his actions, no matter how obvious you will mistakenly think the answer is. If you really want to help and not to harm, encourage him to trust more his own logic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 8, 2023 @Leo Gura They are really not rational in their minds. All they care about is killing and slaughtering Israelis, even by means of suicide, collective suicides, hurting their own people. It's like this is their moral. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) It's pretty simple why terrorism is done: because your enemy's military is impossible to defeat in conventional warfare. Paragliders vs F-35s. It's like Ewoks fighting stormtroopers. There is even a scene where Ewoks use a glider to drop rocks on an AT-ST. Edited October 8, 2023 by Leo Gura You are God. You are Truth. You are Love.

In some ways it’s probably better to ignore otherwise we will just get sucked into the hurricane of hate one way or the other Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Their mentality / value system is, in my opinion, the main factor. 🌲 You can rarely pretend to give an effective advice to someone just from the fact that you cannot see the unique inner logic behind his actions, no matter how obvious you will mistakenly think the answer is.

They definitely suffer from under-development. That's what makes this conflict so stubborn. The Spiral stage differences lead to difficult asymmetries. These asymmetries need to be carefully weighed, which isn't easy to do. Edited October 8, 2023 by Leo Gura You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

Posted October 8, 2023 I listened to him for a while he says so e interesting and funny stuff (even bought a book but haven’t read it ) but now i’m kind of not interested in it anymore, also he touches his nose 20 times per minute Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 8, 2023 2 minutes ago, Nabd said: The problem is one need a good grasp of Lacan and Hegel to understand his philosophical takes, and I am not really sure if its worth it tbh. But when he talks about politics I actually think he is easier to understand. He is a communist in the sense that we need to find an alternative to capitalism because it clearly is not sustainable when it comes to ecology and corona like events. Yea the Zizek book i bought is about Lacan but i don’t know much about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) 8 minutes ago, Nabd said: He is a communist in the sense that we need to find an alternative to capitalism This is so stupid tho. Communism is not an alternative to capitalism. It is a ridiculous dead end. It is easier to solve the Israeli-Palestine problem than to understand Lacan.

Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) @Nabd I know he uses the term Communism in a playful way and means globalism. But even so, calling it Communism is a really bad move. That would be like if I called my stage Yellow solution to capitalism Nazism. Let's be Nazis, but minus all the bad stuff that Nazis did. He is too far up his own ass with the Communism references. Communism was an utter disaster of an ideology and should never be spoken of again. Edited October 8, 2023 by Leo Gura You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.
