  • I don’t think monotheism was a big thing before. I just suspect that early religions were created with a respect and fear of nature and that the deities served as a foil for all the forces of nature around humans. Our way of life was to live among divinity, and in reverence to it. Then monotheism arrives, alongside so called “civilization”, sedentarism allows dominion over nature, and a new philosophy comes. This philosophy is a dogmatical undermining of the creative forces of nature (mostly represented as femme) in favour of a pragmatical and extractive view (“you will not have any god other than me”) allowing for a disrespect of natural resources that a direct connection to our current climate change problem.

    It was a direct attempt at removing the ancient values of coexistence with nature, starting with oppressing femmininity and undermining what they historically and spiritually represented.

    I am not throwing out monotheistic religion, I am not throwing out religion at all. You are right in saying I’m “exchanging” one religious view from another, but my feeling is that the original meaning of spirituality has been tainted by ancient propaganda.

    This is all speculation, I’d be lying if I said otherwise, but in seeing the powers that be today and the way they act, and think…it just all seems so convenient to say that humanity is “naturally” inclined to fuck up their land. I do not believe that. I believe that humanity is naturally inclined to be gullible, and that someone made us believe we were above nature and should destroy and make violence to it, exactly what we are taught to do with women and feminility in general.

    I just don’t believe it is a coincidence

    You’re not alone, it’s just that we’re all separate by invisible barriers, sometimes natural, like time and space, but not of them artificial, like money and walls and institutions and jobs.

    We were never meant to live this isolated, none of us. Humankind has always been a community effort, and today our loneliness is a tool for our predators. It might not be a cheerful thing to read, but to me, knowing that this loneliness is a shackle to hold our power, from people that KNOW and fear we are always one step from realizing what is being taken from us, fills me with determination and a twisted sense of pride. At the very least, it makes the feeling of being completely responsible for my sadness go away





  • You are extremely dishonest in interpreting the message from the one user who is excercising way too much patience with you. You should wash your mouth when you speak about MLK when spouting for your moralism.

    Also, unfriendly tip: if you’re gonna critizice people for being condescending to you, you shouldn’t start your argument being condescending towards everyone a priori.

    Finally, you have no moral high ground, your “non violence” apparently only applies to popular opinion and not state or politicians actions. Also, citing the French revolution as an example is woefully reductive and shows that maybe you should dust off your degree and read just a bit more.







  • I think all your criticisms are valid, but I sense a generalized vitriol born from disappointment of specific entities or people, while you’re criticizing what’s possibly the first “big” political for many of those people, and you risk of alienating everyone potentially capable or willing to do more by talking this way. No political community is sustainable if there cannot be clemency for the inadequate actions of ignorant people.

    Accountability is important, criticism is important, but self criticism and self accountability are the most important of all.

    Acting high and mighty towards the “less politically pure” than you will not pressure anyone into doing more, you might not like to hear it, but to many what you wrote can be equally seen as virtue signalling.

    I write this with no animosity, just trying to form a constructive criticism for your justified frustration
