@JasonBassler1 It's a cycle that has continued for centuries... To break it, we must eliminate the concepts of money, trade, and heredity, something that would be very difficult to accept and understand.
@willie6850@grok show how this isn't new and that it has happened time and time again as part of the cycles of empires. And mention what happens after this stage.
@s_aconite Because the jobs those rich people offer them are what put food on their table... it's not that hard to understand how modern slavery works.
@HorrorGorl Israel was established with significant assistance from powerful and influential figures in the United States. The modern state of Israel enjoys nearly the same rights and benefits as a U.S. state.
We could say it is a satellite state.
@TheMarcitect The only way to do this is to move to a country that isn't as significant in the global economy, live on a farm, and try to be as self-sufficient as possible. As long as you live in a civilized country, you'll be forced to fight in wars for the "good" of the nation.
We’ve spent centuries living in cycles of oligarchies that manipulate the people into thinking that the people’s interests are the priority, when in reality they’re just using them so they can live like kings.
The cycle always reaches a point of awakening, where emerging elites support the people’s awakening, civil wars and revolutions break out, and those new ruling elites become the new oligarchy, while the old oligarchies that survived, whether by blending into the new system or moving to another country, continue on.
We are caught in a cycle of oligarchic power. Every time there is a change in power, all resistance from the previous regime is suppressed, including its books and knowledge. A new culture is shaped, and this delays the next awakening of the people for generations.
You don't have to see it as a conspiracy theory; look at it this way:
The owners of large companies—whose services are essential to a nation's livelihood and continued growth—will always make decisions that are primarily beneficial to them economically and, to some extent, to the nation.
Regardless of whether these decisions are good or bad, they are decisions that are brought to the table and discussed before being implemented. That’s why, as we saw last week during the Chinese president’s visit to the White House, we had figures like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, and others in attendance. They’re always invited to participate in important discussions because their services are essential to nations and their economic power.
Those with money have a say in the important decisions that change our lives.
Propaganda during a war always goes unnoticed when it comes from your own side.
If we take the war between Ukraine and Russia as an example, both the Russian and Ukrainian sides are committing atrocities and killing civilians. If you watch the news from each country, both portray the other side as the root of all evil and use that excuse to continue committing their own atrocities.
Every conflict is always like this; they’ll always try to convince you that we have to hit the enemy hard because the enemy is hitting us hard. But in the end, that only creates an unstoppable cycle of chaos and destruction—a cycle from which the big corporations that develop weapons and military security profit.
You just need to read a little more and learn to recognize propaganda patterns, but if you're someone who can't manage anxiety and stress, I don't recommend it. Do so at your own risk.
Just remember: if you want to live in peace, stay in the ignorance, but if you want to know the truth, there's no turning back.
And the worst part of all this is that they’ll keep pushing the narrative that Russia started the war, and in the future, when people study what happened in World War III, it will be portrayed as Russia starting the war against Europe… It really makes you wonder about World War I and World War II, about what really happened back then and what we know based on the official history.
Game theory advice:
Whenever you plan something grand, do not start planning from the beginning (t=0). Start at the end, at the final state you wish to reach. From there, you will now go backwards. Constantly ask yourself, "What do I need to do to get there?" and break the large goal down into smaller steps. This method is called backward induction, and it works particularly well when you lack direction. You will be able to work toward your goals with unmatched clarity.
today, officials in Washington are confirming that Trump administration have plans to intervene militarily in Cuba within the next four months, something I've seen coming since the beginning of this year.
Now that we have official reasons to intervene in Cuba, as Trump himself has mentioned on several previous occasions.
it’s just a matter of when? 🕰️
What can be predicted with certainty is that in 2026, the Cuban regime will fall as a result of a U.S. intervention.
@JIMMYEDGAR Just quiet the noise and embrace the present moment.
At the end of the day, it's the only meaningful thing you can do that you have control over.
@SiriusBShaman Money itself is an illusion to which we assign an imaginary value
@grok Explain what fiat money is so that people understand the truth about money.
At some point, we humans will realize that all the tragedies that occur in the world are created by our own egos. We are the most self-destructive beings on this planet.
