As I said, it was dismissive.
Christianity and Islam are ideas that you can say have killed millions of people as well. But I’m not going to blame christianity or Islam for it. I’m going to blame people. Same with socialism. If socialism was the most destructive thing in the universe, why have western governments applied so many socialist policies? Why are the highly thriving and peaceful Nordic countries full of socialist policies? Because these policies ensure fairness and generally lead to more balance within the people in a market economy, where things can get pretty unfair. The marrying of the two ideas is rather balancing as the nordic countries have proven. I don’t know why everything has to be so black and white. ‘This thing is evil!’ ‘No, that is evil.’ They are both sides of the same coin.
The line is crossed when you guys belittle people for thinking differently. It’s rather clear from this thread, you guys think lesser of him for believing in socialism. You would rather him be gone. I can feel the ‘**** this guy’ off of your posts and it’s clear as day.
That’s like me calling a flat earther stupid for believing in flat earth theory. He’s not going to listen to me after that. That’s like calling a child stupid for not knowing something he does not know. He’s going to feel hurt and like he’s in the wrong for not knowing.
Saying someone doesn’t know what they’re talking about and then proclaiming they can’t process things is in other words, calling them stupid and incapable of understanding things. It’s dismissive and not indicative of you trying to teach someone anything. A teacher doesn’t insult his student.
’ Okay so you believe in flat earth. Here’s what I know.’ That’s how you share ideas. Not by first telling someone how they don’t know shit. Respecting where people are at or what they believe is common human decency.
In hindsight, I’m rather sure if you are just expressing your thoughts and someone came into the thread saying ‘jaaj doesn’t know what he’s talking about. and he can’t process things,’ I’m pretty sure you’d get triggered by that and get get on the offensive. I’ve seen you do this kind of thing time and time again here. You also get offended by peoples opinions. Remember when you got offended by my opinion of you and me thinking you have never been with a woman or something like that? That was honestly wrong on my part and I genuinely apologize. But you got offended by that for sure.
That’s fair. That is your personal choice. Although I have something to say about this. To be of light and darkness is to be accepting of darkness. To truly reach your highest self, is to not be in rejection to anything. There are walls in your mind that prevent you from reaching a higher vibration and the things you reject, are those walls. Being dark to others is rejecting people for harboring things you reject. This is you rejecting darkness. So I don’t believe you are light and darkness. You are light restricting its shine into a very linear path, limited by all the darkness you reject. Wholeness, is to become one with the dark. You, in choosing to see the world as black and white, have subscribed to duality.
I’m telling you this moreso cause I know you’re more in the spiritual path of higher vibration and these sorts of things. Not everyone is but I know you are. The bad news is, that allness is inevitable and the only way to reach it is to accept everything you hate and dislike… for to not do so, is the reject your true self (god, tao, universe). I had to do it and it was very uncomftorable. So much pain and suffering but when I accepted, it released like it was all nothing at all.
Unfortunately, as I am seeing it, this is the way up in vibration. Many people here in the forum are also struggling with this and are held back by how much we restrict ourselves in this regard. So as long as these walls still exist, you will likely remain where you are. You are all that you hate and reject. There is no escaping that but if you wish to, your path will likely not reach the full potential. You can still learn much from duality and grow quite a bit of course. But then, you’re just another face in the matrix.
Just words from a soul to a soul. You can continue on your path as you are. Me and dream had to do this to go higher but maybe there’s an easier way. I don’t think there is but that’s okay if you don’t figure it out in this life. You’ll get to where you need to eventually.
I’m with you on this whole segment. Don’t disagree with anything you said here. But you know, universal basic income will be very necessary in this new kind of economy. That’s a very socialist policy. As I mentioned earlier, western capitalism is riddled with socialist policies to make the game fair. That is just going to be the icing on the cake of marrying the two concepts together. We are over here arguing about which one is better when society has already been marrying the two best aspects of eachother to become the more viable one for humanity.
I’m sorry about your family man and I hope their souls are thriving today.
Haven’t we been able to see that under capitalism or socialism, humanity will be corrupted by power and exploit people to the fullest in whatever way they can? Humanity is the problem. Not ideas brother.
Now of course, Communism as an idea allows for far corruption of power from humanity. I’m not fond of it either. But it’s just an idea and the concept behind it is all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs. That idea is literally not saying ‘murder millions of people.’ Under enlightened leaders, a system like that could work rather well. Natives in tribes practically lived like this and tend to live pretty harmonious lives where they were at peace with things. Some people just want to exist in peace and not fall into the endless competition and chase of consumption or growth. Not everyone wants to create and expand and explore the universe. Some people just want to live in harmony with others and survive. I get why some people would resonate with that. That’s just the concept behind it. The problem is the people that enforced that concept would do it with brute force.
Anyone who wasn’t in line with communism in a communist society would be killed. That is cancel culture with a death sentence lol. But now, we want to enforce cancel culture on people who have these ideas? Are we really any better than them if we want to play this game?
Is it? I am saying that he doesn’t have everything figured out and niether do you and niether do I. All within a post of me expressing compassion. Context matters and the distinction between posts was very clear here.
I’m not asking you to. All I am saying is to try to respect people’s point of view. Without that respect, there is no meaningful discussion and we end up having meaningless arguments that turn into egoic wars. Arguments that have diminishing returns. Waste of time and energy on my part and your part. I’m asking you guys to try to behave in a way that doesn’t keep leading to these diminishing returns.
