I just think the empire is in a different position right now to be sparing resources for unimportant things plus Americans are largely (by now) selfish and sociopathic and simply don't care about anyone besides themselves (not even the white kids that die in school shootings changed that!) so what's the point in pretending? It ain't the early 00s anymore, there's a proxy war with Russia that ain't necessarily going super well and another proxy war with China brewing, we can't be thinking about our fake morality at a time like this!

There are opinions and then there are whether this crap is.

More like "the ideology has created fundamentally broken and selfish, if not evil, people, and expecting anything to get more righteous and fraternal in a country/society that was created through genocide and grew/grows stronger through murder and pillage is just silly".

You don't think I pray for the West and wish they would turn to God and righteousness? The whole world basically has suffered the greed and rage of Western Europeans through millennia, I also would like for it to stop! 😭

For some reason, I'm disinclined to take the word of religions which sanction slavery and pedophilia (and expanded through genocide and grew stronger through murder and pillage) as the final word on righteousness.

Humans running from the monster they devoted their life to creating and then blaming anything other than themselves.

This is something they can try to run from but the universe is going to reign hell on them for all the time they ignore the truth.

You can't change the wave, you have to learn how to ride it, all else will bring failure.

All the time people spend trying to own the wave only leads to the growth of the monster. All that time wasted when they could learn how to ride wave and basically surf "as one" with the energy of the big-bangs universe expansion.

When you ride the wave... Those moments when you feel completely in the present, when everything is what it is supposed to be, and you feel love, actual love not pleasure... That's what happens when you learn to ride the wave. That's what it means to be with any "God" and what genuine religions and spirituality are actually about.

Oooh, what a lovely and poetic post. Thanks! 👍
