  1. evil running wild in the world

    There is a story they tell in the lineage I follow, about WW2 being caused by literal demons possessing the minds of German leadership, shaping the way they thought and saw reality. I have absolutely no idea if that is true, but it is an interesting story. I can say I have met with people in real life, and recently who told me they were salivating (their words), to start killing certain groups of people. Those comments, that they were hungry to kill other people, makes me wonder if there isn't more to that story.

    "Ah folks see it. How could it be invisible?" “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” -George Orwell 1984 “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard It happens when people value their feelings over facts. As Kierkegaard suggested, we are fooled not just by lies, but by our refusal to see what is true. Most people lead with emotion. They decide how they feel first, then find reasons to justify it. Historical examples, like the manipulation of the German public through the Lügenpresse narrative, show how easily people can be trained to ignore reality. When you are told the truth is "disinformation," you stop seeing it entirely. “If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” ― Malcolm X I lived through this when a coworker used DARVO (Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender) to flip the script on me. After I requested a witness for our meetings, they painted me as the harasser. The lie took hold instantly: HR kicked me out without a hearing, my friends blocked me, and even the woman I was dating disappeared after they spoke with her. This is the power of a charismatic false narrative. It creates a self-reinforcing loop where the crowd becomes certain of a lie, rendering the actual truth invisible to everyone but the person being silenced.

    “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.” Right now the reason evil is running wild is because it is invisible to a large portion of people, even when presented with proof of it, their mind cannot see it. The people who can see it are scared, and view themselves as weak, and they don't want to "rock the boat". The solution is for all the people who feel like that to unite as one, and do something about it. The problem becomes convincing them all to adopt the mindset of "together we can change this", from "I am weak and powerless, and nothing I do matters".

  6. System like LoneManPai?

    I was unaware that was occurring, to be clear I am not a fan of SOTG or his "teachings". I just find it humorous that people who think they can literally fly and shoot eye lasers are the first ones to criticize others.
  7. System like LoneManPai?

    I mean I think SOTG was an improvement over people who claim to to be able to fly faster than the speed of light, shoot eye lasers, and kill giant Naga Demons, but to each their own.
