In taijiquan the perception of an opponents resistance gives you information about their abilities. The ideal is to be entirely empty of resistance such that when they attempt to place force on you it has nowhere to land.
In this way they defeat themselves by fighting things that are not there.
Western leadership points to the behavior of other nations as the reason for the tragic state of the world. They refuse to recognize it’s their own lack of understanding and consequent misguided policy that’s mostly responsible.
Wise leadership interacts with the world on negotiable terms and does not attempt to force other’s behavior to align with its own preconceived myopia.
Here in the US we have been plagued with inept leadership on both sides of the aisle for too long. The world cannot take it anymore. We need competent open minded leadership. #Kennedy2024
No form of civilization? Modern industrial production, perhaps - but civilization? Persia, India, China - you’re either kidding or unbelievably ignorant.
And by the way - modern industrial production (if that’s what you meant) is not equivalent to civilization at all. Why is the West so desperately trying to recover its sense of cultural identity? Industrialism destroys culture.
This is what you wrote:
“No country has had any form of civilization until the west colonized them.”
You were not talking about the present. Nice bluff.
There’s no way to separate the present civilizations in India & China from their past iterations. Maybe Iran but that’s mostly due to the efforts of of Kermit Roosevelt Jr. and the Iranian reaction to the overthrow of their government and installation of the Shah by the ever so civilized West.
But feel free to make up whatever bullshit you like. That’s the beauty of this medium.
Kennedy supporters: we now have clarity in our direction - we must convince ALL reasonable Independents and as many Blues and Reds as possible to join us in restoring our floundering democracy!
To assist you in spreading the word I have made this QR Menu, about which someone remarked “This works like a charm! How could anyone view these videos and NOT vote for Bobby?”
Pass it around! https://image.nostr.build/9cb34cb0bba18c12602029466e0ab26423679ed979602581246a7122e390564c.png
It will be used as the excuse to take the gloves off - and not just in that region.
Is it a coincidence that the FBI just created a “MAGA extremist” category last week?
I believe Nostr could play a major role in restoring US Democracy if we get organized. All other social media platforms are compromised and will be used to quash 3rd party or Independent candidates. We can use Nostr as a reliable place to maintain a network, strategize and coordinate action on other sites. If you’re ready to make it happen convene here: npub12vpqxleuesz053fdxr40ey7vhecrkxlh4m0u5ft8gvke2wlyl82sej00nk
The thing about corrupt totalitarians is they have a tendency to eat their own. Don’t despair - nothing is certain but it’s also the case that meaningful political is not impossible when good people decide they’ve had enough.
Nostr can play a huge role in this upcoming election if the movers here decided to organize. Kennedy is the only candidate who explicitly supports BTC - he accepts it for campaign contributions!
What the f is everyone waiting for?
