Disclaimer: I'm not a troll, I used to be very (too) active on GZD here and on reddit. Feel free to search through my history here or on reddit over 1 month ago. There's also this using Pushshift. Regarding my name "Pinkeston" because the trueanon people kept pointing that out. It's a play on words from the 1996 Weezer album "Pinkerton" (which I used to love but can't listen to anymore because it's incelly) but it's "pinkest" so it's more "pink" than "pinker". I never knew of the "American private security guard and detective agency" when I chose this username 4 years ago

About 3-4 weeks ago I double steeped about 6g of shrooms to make a ridiculously strong tea, and while there's so much about that trip that I could write about, I just want to talk about the title. I wanted to post this earlier but waited this long because there's always an afterglow where you're still affected by the drugs but that completely went away after only 2 days for me and I still feel the same or possibly even stronger as I did immediately after the trip

During the trip, I thought about the Russia Ukraine war since that's kind of always on my mind and I imagined all the suffering that was occurring on the land. For a very slight bit I was dropped in the middle of the war field on the ground and experienced all the destruction and death around me and I cried and wept for all the victims that are experiencing Hell RIGHT NOW

I realized that resisting and escalating tensions can only lead to more harm and suffering. The fighting will never end. The total amount of deaths and pain caused worldwide in 100 years of resistance will be mountains higher than no resistance at all

Violence only breeds more violence. No matter what the politics are (NATO expansion, Azov massacres in Donbas, etc.), you can't solve those issues with just more war

The only way to create a peaceful just world is to change it through companionship and love. Forcefully submitting others to your will only creates more suffering and oppression that will result in never ending cycles

Revolutionaries who have overthrown kings and dictators, workers that have forced their company's hand by going on strikes, and even people who have gone against their employer/state by leaking secrets like Snowden, Manning, and Assange

I can respect their well-meaning intentions but all of these only contribute or create new problems that are the exact same ones they were trying to solve

I'm asking all of you to please consider and realize all the harm you'd be doing by even just unionizing at work. It's a slippery slope to mass destruction and suffering. No more resisting for the sake of EVERYBODY

Make love not war

I researched a bit and can't find an original source from any Russian company or state department so probably just from nationalists or a meme video? Who knows

Extremely racist.

It's probably because he's really reactionary in some ways like his really brutal anti-drug laws and punishments

But everybody understands how economically exploited countries like Iran, Syria, or Iraq (who never get shit on) can't be expected to be more socially progressive than developed countries

Weird how some people will single out Russia and Duterte for some reason

  1. Many libertarians have the same opinions as us on non-economic foreign policies of the West (seeing through "human rights" claims as hypocrisy to justify war that is waged for resources and geographical control, what coups/assassinations/terrorists are ClA ops, etc.) because these are all state activities and they are anti-state, at least in the current form in the West

  2. Blumenthal's opinions on the situation of vaccines in USA is very libertarian

  3. Clearly not a communist given he has never spoken positively about any AES and never explicitly supported enemies of the West

Yea idk that's all I got lol

Kim invited Red Velvet to perform because he's a huge fan

Thanks for saying this, I totally agree though it's a bit harder for me to have such a strong stance on the topic because I don't research China nor do I live there so my knowledge is just from visiting there often the past few decades

Can I ask what you see that's over-glorifying or over-idealising?

For me, I see people way overestimating the quality of life in China overall, underestimating how poor the rural regions are, and underestimate how good the West has it in many areas (work/career life for highly educated/skilled workers, cost/availability of many goods and services, etc.)
