I looked into it some, and what's happening is less what the all the headlines make it out to be and more so a suppression not of any unitarian theological element, but instead a suppression of ritualistic components extrapolated from Arabized Saudi imperialism, and then in addition a suppression of the superstitions emergent from hundreds of years of magi malformation, thus ensuing in the transformation of a school of thought containing only foundational moral principles, to which whose followers are still allowed specific, targeted, and atomized zones existent in their own locales for the purpose of their inseparable prayer, coordinated in such a way as not to interfere nor obstruct other facets of life for other peoples. Banned and barred are all the things you'd expect to be banned or barred which lead to Chinese disharmony.
The end result ensues, effectively, in the modern day Christian, and a state semi-akin to the neighboring Kazakhastan. More concerning are/were the movements of independence toward an 'East Turkmenistan' hence why the construction of re-education camps were facilitated. So, not primarily for obstructing religion and people saying 'I believe in God' or in their fasting or distancing from consuming pork, but rather curbing the people from thinking themselves apart from belonging to China. Same with Tibet. Why the camps are said to have diminished of late, if not been destroyed or repurposed for a more pragmatic objective, owes not to the obsoleting of faith but because of the realization that a distancing from China only ultimately ensues in being swallowed by disagreeable muck. So, the 'carrot' approach is doing its job well, and as with all things, the carrot is better than the stick, and this will only prove ever increasingly as urbanization and all the material elements increase: the goal of a people seeking independence has been severed, for why should they seek it, when being part of China and abiding by its law is superior?
I'm pretty sure they had a sterilization thing going on for awhile and enabled the one child policy to continue in Xinjiang, but in line with curbing diminishing numbers throughout the nation, we can say, it is either banned if not outright criminalized. It is stupid and retarded anyway to eliminate people when instead you can transform the inherPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Turkey will join the RU. Too much friction and 800 year differences to ever be part of the EU. It'll split in two, but both parts will be part of the RU, with Kurdistan inclining itself more so toward the ME. The 'EU' will never ever control the black sea, and thus will never ever have any portion of Turkey to itself. That's where its 'zone' ends.

Poor social skills even online. My jokes and baits are shit.

you need to pay for a premium subscription to be eligible for monetization. i do see a lot of randos get their tweets blessed by the algorithm and suddenly explode, but you have be a paypiggy to cash in. i guess that's good since it filters third-worlders, but also neeties like me without much disposable income.

>>323975
you don't need social skills, just interact with other people's tweets and give your honest takes. a lot of stuff that pops off is just opinions that people had on 4chan 5 years ago. there's also a lot of ragebait and annoying engagement hacks but the twitter algo is very interesting and you could organically get followers and views just by posting normally.

China is the top customer base for X Premium, with India as always being number 2.

>>323746
Ah the classic go ahead and kys except if you are white

>>323746
I am indeed white and have lost all interest in politics. Right-wing here basically means foreigners are still welcome but we want to cut unemployment benefits. Anything further to the right is straight up illegal. Not that I have any interest in it anyway, I don't like left-wing stuff either. I don't believe any politician will ever scale back this intrusive power of the government and defend basic freedoms.

extremely silly and foolish.

>extremely silly and foolish.
what is even the point. they all want to make everything locked down and unfun anyway

When you dispense with the rhetoric, it seems all systems have a small minority exploiting a large minority.

The rest is mostly window dressing

Fascism is a war ideology. Why would you want war?

>>323888
Death is inevitable. Do you want death ?

>>323167
I would agree with that statement, it is worth noting however that it requires the people participating in it to be of very high development, else it fails catastrophically. With the state of normoids these days it feels like it would take millions of years to get to that point.

>>322679
I wonder what kind of people calls NEET/hiki 'parasite'? are they jealous of NEET and hiki or it's something else?

>it has been getting unbearable, the boredom and monotony are agonizing
funny that you say this because wagecucking for a couple years has the same result.
shitty work becomes monotone, unbearable and agonizing and you are counting the seconds until you can go home. by the time you are indeed back home you notice you are too tired to do anything that requires effort so you doomscrool jewtube and play videogames for an hour and then its off to bed so you can wake up and spend another day counting down the minutes and seconds until you can go home.
yeah and money? forget about money, as a lowly wagecuck you are just as poor as a neet.

>>323255
those words are true. to become rich, you need to make an ambitious video game by yourself like notch

Nowadays everybody on Twitter who isn't working a 9-5 but makes money otherwise calls themselves a "NEET". For me you are only a neet if you either live of welfare or your parents. If your parents die and you inherit their money you aren't a neet anymore even if your life stays exactly the same. You cant be neet and have wealth, be a landlord, cryptobro, trader or whatever, that is at least my definition of it.

>>323961
Your definition is quite irrelevant because it's patently incorrect. NEET is an acronym standing for 'Not in Education, Employment, or Training'. It's not related to one's source of income at all.

>Opioids are difficult to access
There are RC opioids you can get from Canada

>>323816
Yes, get "safe" opioids under the counter from the country renowned worldwide for forcing assisted suicide on people who have broken arms.

>>323817
Assisted suicide is a blessing

>>323818
People who want to die don't deserve blessings. They deserve to wallow in their self-pity until they either grow out of it or bite the bullet. They can fuck off and die on their own without demanding others kill them in a way that funnels more tax money in to the pockets of a bunch of faggy doctors. It's gut-wrenching to be reminding that we walk amongst failed humans who are so infantile and weak that they demand big brother give them either feel-good pills to suck down and become too chemically retarded to feel sad, or a feel-good needle to end their life. That's irrelevant in the case of MAiDs though given that the whole program is an organ harvesting business that targets humans who are completely capable of healing back to full capacity.

>>323807
>Opioids are difficult to access even with chronic pain or more serious conditions because of rightoids and their war on drugs

Jews control "big pharma" and the FDA. The jewish Sackler family was the main force behind the so-called "opioid epidemic" to begin with.

Friendly reminder that the ONLY actual evidence for resurrection of Jesus is that the bible said so. There is no evidence from his time of that happening outside of the bible. And if Jesus didn't resurrect, then it's all just a scam and placebo effect.

>>322856
>To me jesus was a human that supersticious humans divinized and make a too magical history to turn his life more epic
Ironic. To me the biggest reason why I can't be Christian despite wanting to be religious all my life is the opposite.
It's not fantastical enough for me.
Jesus and all bible stories read like down to earth tribal history mixed with some slight fantasy.
At best it's some tall tale told by a village elder in a way to pass on some wisdom to the masses, at worst it's just some story about a handful of villagers/tribesmen doing mundane crap slightly exaggerated.


Too many real things in it that can be mapped onto things we experience in real life so you know by instinct what parts might or might not be bullshit.
Too many historical claims or truth/fact claims that can be proven false or at least attacked.
To me something like tao/daoism depicted in Chinese fantasy novels is a more believable/acceptable religion because they are so far removed from our own realm and reality.

I really don't understand why or how it spread so far and wide and how people can willingly subject themselves. Perhaps surface level aesthetics and a lack of curiosity to dwell deeper. Idk.
Most Christians don't know much aside from what was fed to them by curators of their denomination it seems. Not that I blame them, to most normies it's just another thing to do with the group like painting eggs for the easter bunny.
It's still crazy to me that so many people venerate those that aren't even remotely their kin.
My country was converted to get a dude crowned 1000 years ago and now it's a great part of "our" identity somehow. Crazy stuff.

To be fair I'd buy into it based on aesthetics alone if it was more fantastical/philosophical without the history part so I can't really blame anyone else.

>>323113
It sounds like your religion might just be escapism.

>>323113
>To me something like tao/daoism depicted in Chinese fantasy novels is a more believable/acceptable religion because they are so far removed from our own realm and reality.
And what incredible fantasy things did the Taoist/Daoist in these histories?
>Also
Thelema can be a fantasy fuel if you start to do more and more advanced rituals lol

I'm schizophrenic and hear voices yelling gibberish about "God" all day, at a certain point I had to admit I couldn't form any coherent conception about God anymore and had to throw everything I thought I believed about Christianity in the trash so to speak.
I've read the Bible and all that remains is cold information, like what book has what subject and what the main story and message is.
Don't really know where to go from here.

>>323943
Lol, thanks for an actual good response.

Well I guess in a sense the original meme was about learning as shown on these /lit/ charts. Knowledge and the pills go always hand in hand, but I wouldn't say it was self improvement in a manosphere grifter way, that sounds more like the distilled normalfag version.

>>323935
Can you start talking to people as soon as you download discord?
Redpill is mostly a conservative movement about how men are supposed to be tough and all that and how that would get you a succubus or awaked some sort of really stoic Roman Legionary inside you. It's mostly a hoax and a scam. You can only self-improve to a degree tbh, and that degree is greatly exaggerated within those circles, you still have the ceiling of you financial conditions, your genetic conditions, and your environmental conditions, etc. This industry is also heavily commercialised and no longer the bro-advice that it used to be. In a way it is as dumb as the bluepill personality BS.

>>323947
Oh, I see, I was almost there. But no, I hate Discord people. They're annoying 13-year-old boys. I would go back and tell them this. Sadly, I don't have the patience to teach them about stupid stuff like this. But thanks for the response.

>>323946
Thanks for the chart, lol.

>a race to the bottom type dynamic where the state of the whole gets much worse due to the increasing burden on the natural world, conflict between tribes and so on, yet nobody feels like they can afford to not use these new technologies, otherwise they will get destroyed by those that do.

yeah this is why we can't have nice things, maybe this would change once people realize that every form of technology is automatically a weapon but this would require responsibility and responsibility is the thing people built weapons for in order to avoid it.

race to the bottom sounds like an awesome name for a band or a podcast.

it is quite difficult to carve out a little space to survive while the race is happening indeed. when keeping in mind what you just succeeded in expressing, everything that is worth capturing will eventually be part of the corrupting efforts of competing groups which is why human progress can only happen in the realm of maximum insignificance. as soon as you get popular, some group tries to turn you into fodder for the cannon. the difficulty of the age in which people refuse to understand that competition is the problem (and not the solution) is to remain underneath the threshold of detection as to avoid otherwise inevitable corruption.

>And dynamic applies in all aspects of life and the ratchet-effect-worsening of things year after year.

it is quite challenging trying to keep up with the rate at which things are enshittifying through self-sufficiency but what else is there.

>The issue is that those people who want such power and are good at acquiring it are usually the kinds of psycho- and sociopaths who should least have it, yet they are the ones driving the larger changes in the system due to the mechanism above.

thas rite tell em!

>Like you I try to do small acts of intentionally limiting myself, consciously going against this constant propaganda to consume more, be more comfortable, not think about any of these issues and so on.

i am sure this will put you on a positive trajectory. this way of life kept me from becoming one of these people who regret their entire life and get out of shape and depressed and look way older. i still looPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

what is more surprising there isn't any relevant information on what each foodstuff does to the body compiled already
no current research either
all you can find in medical papers is nutrient x correlates with condition y
last significant discovery in nutritional science was the discovery of the vitamins in the early 20th century
even worse the info out there is full of misinformation with people trying to shill a product

>>323903
>what is more surprising there isn't any relevant information on what each foodstuff does to the body compiled already

you have reached the point at which you can see the inferiority of a system that is based on money and violence in which a a few disproportionately influence what the many get to hear based on the whims of psychopaths and their secret world of 5d chess.

the solution to this is look for the information yourself. in this case i believe it means: you have to know how each type of food is digesting in your human body.

in the beginning you might not be able to know all the details like ph-values about everything but you are equipped with everything to solve this puzzle. you can tell how long something travels through you, how it makes you feel, if you feel tired, hopeless and depressed or strong, optimistic and full of life. meanwhile advertisement and convenience try to seduce you.

>last significant discovery in nutritional science was the discovery of the vitamins in the early 20th century

don't limit yourself to science if you are so far as to understand that science is but the expression of the inferior system. science found the lymphatic system in the brain only a few years ago while others knew this for a long time. recently they (the science bitches) found the brain converts glucose to fructose.

>you have reached the point at which you can see the inferiority of a system that is based on money and violence in which a a few disproportionately influence what the many get to hear based on the whims of psychopaths and their secret world of 5d chess.
Yes
>the solution to this is look for the information yourself.
There's not much you can do except toying with different kinds of foods and diets and see how you feel. If a certain routine causes cancer in the long term but makes you feel good in the short term there's no way to know this.
>you are equipped with everything to solve this puzzle.
best case you find some routine which works for you, nothing really compensates for this lack of information and presence of misinformation
>science is but the expression of the inferior system.
The modern way of doing science was invented in Western Europe a couple of centuries ago in a society very different and unlike our current system. Science itself is not tied to the system and people's outside of the system also engage in investigation, speculation and collection of knowledge.

HOLY CRAP U TURKISH OR SOMETHIN?:3

I'm a first world neet but my unemployment benefits will stop soon and then it's time to rope.
I don't know where this believe among third worlders comes from, you can get unlimited neetbux in first world. This only exists in a couple of specific welfare countries like certain Scandinavian nations.

>>323929
Yeah New Zealand is in the process of pushing people off NEETbux now. We were in the Scandinavian box before but it seems we're being shifted to where Spain and Italy are.

There's genuinely a developing NEET crisis in the west, it's something like 20% of 18-24 year olds literally doing nothing now lol. Not even going to school/uni, just no work. The local government extrapolated the increase since Covid and seen that by the 2030s it'd completely collapse the system. What's more worrying for the government is that once a NEET, always a NEET seems to be the thing. It's a sticky habit.

>>323930
>NEET crisis
This is just a new label to mistify jobs don't pay enough in the west. They made the system unattractive for the average person and are now implying it is anything else but people opting out.
I don't believe it's part of some plan either, just pushing away any responsibility or even consideration of the system failing.

>>323931
>I don't believe it's part of some plan either, just pushing away any responsibility or even consideration of the system failing.
Most of the people calling the shots are hoping they can kick the can down the road long enough that they'll be dead before they suffer any consequences. Those that aren't that old are wealthy enough to flee to another country, and for the super wealthy have some sort of 'ride out the apocalypse' bunker hidden somewhere.

>>323932
I doubt they will suffer any consequences, or that we will get a sudden collapse or climax to this decline.
The slow rotting, disengagement of the masses with the system, population decline and so on will continue indefinitely.
It took a very long time after the fall of the Roman Empire before something on the same level of civilisation appeared again.
People can and will go back to a more miserable way of living, especially normies.
