Engaged Buddhism

Engaged Buddhism, coined by Thich Nhat Hanh, applies Buddhist ethics and mindfulness to actively address social, political, environmental, & economic suffering.

If you think it is "privileged" to be sexually harassed by the majority of males you encounter, your parents didn't raise you right.

It's the lower middle class that fights over designer brands made in sweatshops for pennies. They dress up as stereotypes of what they want to be, but the upper middle class prefers high quality and ethically manufactured goods.

[Engaged Buddhism @EngagedBuddhism]

A brand name slapped on sweatshop cloths is just a brand name slapped on sweatshop cloths.

[Engaged Buddhism @EngagedBuddhism]

The upper middle class I grew up with often shopped at thrift stores. They didn't care about Gucci. They're not going to spend $5k on a pair of pants that shrinks after the first time they wash them. That's why they are upper middle class. Good people.

Just because someone is articulate does not mean that they aren't in need of deserving of resources.

American anti-intellectualism reduces employment opportunity for meritable individuals.

[Engaged Buddhism @EngagedBuddhism]

The $40k people want the $60k people who have experienced hardship to have lower quality food and less of it than themselves so they can feel superior. They will deny you employ, because they interpret articulate language patterns to mean that you "think you are better than them"

[Engaged Buddhism @EngagedBuddhism]

Yes, I am "privileged" to be told by functionally retarded people who make $40k annually that a $10 meal is "too fancy" for a poor woman in a country engineering it's own hyperinflation...🙄🤦

[Engaged Buddhism @EngagedBuddhism]

Where do these wannabe upper middle classers who try to force people into poverty think they can get a $2 meal?

"Oh no! An American woman fed herself after their woman-hating, closeted-gay president cut her off food stamps!"

Says only the narcissist trying to keep up with the Joneses that can't afford to live in the area I grew up in.

Hunger is not bougie.

[Engaged Buddhism @EngagedBuddhism]

I require money over food donations so I can purchase my own food because I have so many food sensitivities that what you think is a good deed is food poisoning or an allergic reaction for me. All beings deserve compassion. I am a being. Food that is toxic to my body isn't food.

[Engaged Buddhism @EngagedBuddhism]

People say I am "undeserving' because I spend my alms on food instead of crack.

[Engaged Buddhism @EngagedBuddhism]

People say I am "too bougie" because I spend my alms at independent businesses instead of fast food, even though fast food is more expensive.

[Engaged Buddhism @EngagedBuddhism]

Tacos for breakfast. When I get the money from my royalties, this business will be blessed with a monumental tip. Exceptional food and service. These guys are great at what they do. Blessed to spend the only money I have at their food truck.

Pfizer's useful idiots are teaching school children to gaslight each other using mental health terminology instead of something pragmatic like geography or history.

[Engaged Buddhism @EngagedBuddhism]

The majority of American uni students do not understand middle school coursework. What will this next generation understand?

[Engaged Buddhism @EngagedBuddhism]

Pfizer wants everyone in the USA to be mentally ill so they can profit and the capitalists we vote for are okay with that because of lead poisoning and subversion. Practically speaking, how is a mentally ill population supposed to defend itself, if at war?

Mentally healthy people don't make everything about their mental health.

If the American population can't handle basic disagreement, they will never be able to handle war.
