Defeatism is rampant in so many circles now. People are incapable of seeing anything as a win, even if it is small. “If he looks like he will win, he won’t. If he does they will kill him. If they don’t they will deport him. If they don’t the something else bad will happen. And if all those things don’t happen and he truly wins then he won’t change anything anyway. And of it looks like he might then we will complain about him not being radical enough.” There simply is no winning for so many western leftists.

China already perfected using time as a weapon. Waiting for capitalism to destroy itself.

“If you don’t have nukes. Get nukes.”

I agree on the grounds that Putin knows that NATO and the EU will absolutely turn on him at a moments notice, and is rabid to do so. On one end is an ally that will never betray or attack them and on the other end is an org that has spend decades trying to destroy him and will do so as soon as it’s convenient. China will absolutely never stand against Russia in any form unless Russia were to like,go completely insane and attack them. Meanwhile NATO will do everything it can tof fuck them over at a moments notice.

On the other hand though, he’s smart enough to also know his future, and the future of the Russian oligarchy, relies entirely on not allowing Chinese socialism to influence the Russian proletariat. And that when the west falls, the AES countries will continue to grow more and more.

So I think he both wants to keep China as an ally, but absolutely knows he can’t last forever with the largest and most powerful socialist nation to ever exist sharing a border. And I don’t think he will ever “go left” as I have seen other dream about. If the oligarchy was every overthrown in Russia, he’s know he would be a dead man.

So trusting him to always be on China’s side is not something I think anyone should ever do. If he could survive against the west without China he absolutely would abandon them.

This is just my views on the matter though.

Slaps roof of country. “This bad boy can fit so many trees.”

“Boot leather is a hell of a drug.”

If Iran truly loves their missiles, they need let them be free.

Technically the earliest life reproduced without eggs and evolved eggs as a means to reproduce later. So at some point in existence the ancestors of chickens existed without eggs. So all eg laying life existed at one point before eggs were a thing.

Mans it’s almost like their government has tons of experience trapping people inside of zones that are getting bombed to fuck. Color me surprised.

It’s also reasonable to assume most gasoline is already stabilized to a degree. Reddit bros like to " 🤓 actually this apocalypse show is bad because people wouldn’t be driving cars after 6 months because all the gasoline would go bad "

Meanwhile my shitty, cheap, gas power garden tiller has had the same gasoline in it for like 3 or 4 years now and still starts up and runs fine. I started a remote job during the pandemic and so I put a stabilizer in my cars fuel. All it did was make it run weird till I eventually had to fill up with fresh gas 9 months later.

They are eating each other.

Adding At least it’s your grandma. My boomer mom thinks there’s going to be another “civil war” but between legal immigrants and illegal immigrants. Boomerism is a mental disease.

Can we hurry up and just kill all the capitalists already? Millions of lives about to be lost in a war, millions more already lost over the course of an 80 year genocide, and all these fuckers are clapping their hands and wetting themselves over new potential profits.

I guess my meaning was more, they should be taken more seriously then just popping out and doing them for shits and giggles. Like you gotta be in the right frame of mind,know what to expect, prepare for it etc. To me, “recreational” does a disservice to the impact these can have on you. When I think of “recreational” I think more of “haha fun let’s get fucked up” and less “I’m going to analyze existence for a while as I melt into a formless being of pure thought and emotion.” There’s probably a better term for it, but I feel like you get the point and it’s just semantics at this point. lol

Spoilering this because it’s a WALL of text. Summary:
Psychedelics saved my life. I’d have killed myself nearly a decade ago had I been forced to only be able to take prescription depression “medication” that just made me worse. People in here shitting on them need to actually educate themselves on them instead of just spamming “drugs bad.” Lack of education is why these things are used incorrectly and also seen as recreational when their main benefit comes from using them medically and meditatively. These are not recreational substances imo and they should not be used in that manner.

My only criticism here is that Ketamine is the devil and, IMO, no one should take that trash. It’s like some evil being tried to make its own shitty version of psilocybin but it’s just corrupted and evil. It’s addictive and does not help you the way psilocybin does. I have been trying to get a friend off it for a while but he can’t. He’s addicted to it and it hasn’t done shit for his anxiety.

Psilocybin on the other hand is amazing. Saved my life when prescription drugs where making me suicidal. Changed my life for the better and I’ve used it to help several other friends of mine. Idk much about DMT but I hear good things.

And yeah, these things should be treated like medicine, not some recreational thing. I have a friend out once a year. We sit under a tree and look out at a field and trip. We don’t talk or anything. Just sit and meditate on life for 3 hours or so. My mental health has been so much better since we started this ritual.

I disagree only on the grounds of, I do not see these things (DMT, psilocybin , etc) as recreational and I think the reason they have any bad rap is because they are treated as such. Things like psilocybin are an amazing meditative and medicinal tool to open, and even heal your mind. But doing them recreationally like they are weed or something? I would never advocate for that.

But otherwise I agree we are way too quick to pop off with “drugs bad,” just because “illegal.” I can go to any country in asia, and go drink enough alcohol to kill myself. Meanwhile it’s next to impossible to kill yourself, or hurt others, with something like weed, but get caught with it and your life is over.

It really is surprising they weren’t a par tof it sooner but good news is good news.

They just showed the jets a picture of the ocean and they crashed themselves.
