Nah, there’s no self deprecation in that. It’s more like they’re just rationalizing their shitty behavior ahead of time by pretending they have a characteristic that’s entirely out of their control.
“Sorry I’m just [choosing to be] a bitch” is more accurate.
Worked with a couple people over the years who straight out said they are hard to deal with. Had much less problems with them than those who said “they could work with anyone”
Except E.Wedel is owned by Korean chaebol Lotte. Which is… I don’t even know honestly, I just know chaebols do a lot of fucked up shit. I guess my point is there is no ethical consumption under capitalism
you’re missing the point. There are a slew of contradictions in christian dogma that don’t make any sense at all. People who “punish” people are typically the good guys in stories. Take a sheriff in a western for instance. They chase the robber and throw them in jail as a form of punishment. The meme is just showcasing an example of how religion faulters under critical examination
They merely said that being separated from God means suffering, while following H…er.im means walking towards the establishment of H…er.is Kingdom/City unto Earth. They talked more about Hell as a state than as a physical place, but, well… who cares nowadays, right ? Parabola never taught us anything about the real world, the spirit doesn’t exist, and morals are relative, they were simply naive ignorants who never had anything to teach us, embrace modernity and reject 100% of the past.
I don’t entirely agree with my comment either, because there’s multiple interpretation of Hell.
One of them is interesting, it says that if our consciousness survives after our death, our mind will finally think clearly, we’ll remember our past better than if it happened today, and we’ll be overwhelmed by shame, this hell would be created by ourselves.
Another one would talk about a real place, but not in the afterlife but right here, on Earth(, it combines perfectly with this talk of afterlife if you believe in reincarnation), and says that if we all live our lives ‘searching for’/‘aiming at’ God, then our descendants/reincarnations will live in Paradise(, or in Hell if we don’t).
There’re other interpretations, as well as the thought that we’re not free since we’re determined, so God decided before our birth whether we would end up in Hell or in Paradise, a thought discussed in the Middle-Ages and rejected in favor of free-will(, i don’t think Spinoza would disagree with the conclusion that God predestined us for Hell, if he believed in Hell).
Obviously, the most common explanation is that police(wo)men didn’t existed back then, God-fearing people was the equivalent of virtuous people, even when nobody can see/stop them.
BJP hates democracy (they literally always say “too much democracy”) and socialist activists. BJP aligns with Russia only because Hindutva rightwingers are bigots that align with anti-LGBT culture among socially right leaning Russians, and because BJP leverages the age old relations we have had with Russia for ever, that Congress laid the foundations for.
I don’t think ideology has anything to do with the decision to keep quiet on Ukraine. India needs Russian fertiliser and oil, and does not want global wheat shortages that could raise the domestic price of food. So I don’t think the decision would have been different if the UPA was in power.
The reason is different for BJP and Congress. Congress never needed to do anything else, India has had considerable global soft power and peaceful social atmosphere under them.
Currently, BJP knows it has a very specific voter base (upper caste Kshatriyas/Brahmins/Baniyas ≈ 40%) within which people are starting to stop supporting Modi, because favours for Adani and big oligarchs. Modi wants to seize this moment to hang onto the balls of Xi and Putin, to become part of the new “vishwaguru” (world leader) polar hegemony, and become immortal in historical books for somehow uplifting India, even though India has become a trashy disturbed country since BJP came into power. This is the reason almost nobody knows or talks about. BJP knows the way it has thrown all of its critics and journalists in jail (and bought out all of TV news outlets) undemocratically, if they are elected out of power, all of them will find themselves jailed and possibly even hanged within months.
India’s needs for food and other goods is just an outcome of a great long term mutual relation with Russia, resulting in bilateral normalcy.
How does a long time NATO ally not impact the west exactly? The Israel/Palestine confict has been in the news since I have paid attention to international politics.
This entire weird conversation aside, Palestine/Israel conflict does not currently affect the West. It could hypothetically escalate until it affected the West I suppose.
Also, Israel is not in NATO. They are a “NATO partner” but are not legally tied to the security alliance.
That was the point. When it impacts the West directly, the we in the West decide to make things about right and wrong and morals and cook up excuses to throw more and more money because it serves our interests. When it’s Palestine… we decide to throw all of that out of the window and decide fund Israel (the aggressor) instead.
israel is much more powerful and will level Palestine in an afternoon if they want
does that give israel the right to level Palestine? no not directly. if you had a country attacking you, killing your citizens and you wanted them to stop and they wouldnt stop no matter what, what do YOU do?
the US would drop a nuke in this situation to be a moral dilemma 70 years later.
is Palestine stupid for talking shit and not backing it up yes. is israel overreacting? yes. Hindsight is 20/20 not that israel cares but Palestine should stop trying to be what theyre not
feel free to educate me as i dont know much about this subject.
I find it way more unnerving when the floor near (or sometimes not near) elevators stars shaking. Why does that happen? The elevator is obviously not connected to the floor‽
One time I told this girl I’ve known for a long time that my birthday was in June and she said “wait your a cancer? that explains so much” and I really wanted to say “really, so what explains why you’re such a bitch” unfortunately I was surrounded by a bunch of kids at the time so my rebuttal had to go missed
