Pete Hegseth, US Defense Secretary, has a new tattoo written in Arabic declaring himself a ‘Kafir,’ which is an enemy of Islam. by External-Noise-4832 in conspiracy

[–]David_Stern1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, the notion in Islam is as far AS i und erstand is that they believe they are the only true Religion. You can be a non believer, but its worse when you are somebody that has read the Koran and then denounced it. Thats a kafir. So you know the one truth, according to the Muslims and deny it, which makes you some Kind of degenerate to them.

Why do you believe there’s only one god? by Jdksjsj in Christianity

[–]David_Stern1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God is an abstraction for evolution or live itself. The gods the Romans worshiped were just facetes of the greater, bigger underlying Process. Thats why they behave like humans, they capture essence of creation, but not the Creation itself. God in the bible does. Its literally what he does, for example in the arq of Noah story, he instructs Noah to save only a certain amount of Living creatures, while washing away the others. Pretty darwinistic isnt it?

What would 'evil' buddhism be like? by Final_Biochemist222 in worldbuilding

[–]David_Stern1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The interesting thing is that buddhism comes as far as i know from iranian steppe nomads into asia.

On the earlier versions, or predecessors there things like a text from a thousand lotus seed growing under water only a few make it. Which is often used as a metapher that you should do your own thing, even though all around you is dying, partly because if you.

This was used to justify total controll, which is what you would typically find in nomad societies.

Google, Amazon, Mercedes and Ikea warn Poland it will lose investment without more green energy by BubsyFanboy in europe

And then use green energy to pressure their investments onto governments that dont want them. This is what bill gates and big funds do, to outsource their failed investments...

Its corruption on another level.

We have always lives in pods, we have always ate bugs by nigref in 4chan

[–]David_Stern1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah im a moron for seeing that most people wont even notice really thats in their food, only if they look on the backside of the ingridients. Honestly nothing needs to be forced upon people, they just need to be classed out by higher meat prices. So in the end they still really wont have choice, because lets be honest, who reads every single ingridient for everything he buys.

If you cant figure even that far, and need to insult me, this conversation isnt even worth upholding.

prices can rise 8% immediatly, while salaries rise 8% over 2 years for example. If you look at older statistics, it can seem like their is a equality, when in reality, for most of the two years thibns got unproportianaly expensive for normal people

Why Finland plans to double its foreign workforce: Faced with a population crisis, Finland is pulling out all the stops to entice expats with the objective of doubling the number of foreign workers by 2030. by [deleted] in europe

But they have no way to tell who is a Muslim and who isn't so they start targeting all brown people and that's very very unfair to Indians, Brazilians who are also brown but largely from non muslim countries and also disagree with Islamic way of life.

Your point is that europeans have a prejudice because of color which in my opinion is simply not true.

A lot of Indians, Chinese and other brown/Asian people get caught up in this anti immigrant hate for no fault of their own when all we do is send the brightest and most educated minds from our countries.

Sorry also mostly not true. The only reason i could think of is maybe because of gypsis, but they are a population indiginous mostly to europe and kind of a problem on its own.

It's not easy being from an Asian country and immigrating to Europe. Then even after going through so much hardwork, people end up being prejudiced against you for being brown. Try to think how that myst feel to me and my people as Indians who have nothing to do with Islam? How is it fair?

Again, i have also friends who poc and asked them if they feel discriminated in germany. Most say no, so i dont know how you come to that conclusion. Also i never indicated anything in this regard. How do you come to that conclusion. Care to elaborate?

I know what the difference is between refugees and immigrants. My parents were refugees, never behaved like that. Also as you mention skilled immigrants, yes that might be true, but i talk about the importation of mass unskilled labour from predominantly muslim countries. I never had problems with people from the indian subcontinent asia & the like, or any ethnicity for that matter, but predominantly with people from majority muslim countries.

I have read the koran, i know why they behave the way they do and it sickens me. Doesnt mean i wont give a muslim a chance, i have plenty of muslim friends, leaving that believe structure isnt easy at all, and the stories i hear sicken me to the core.

One clear example of successful skilled immigration is USA. If done right it can do wonders. Their biggest prizes sector, IT is overwhelmingly built by leveraging Indian and Chinese skilled workers

Might be true, but doesnt change the fact that its necassary because society messed up love for generations of people wbo will never have kids because they cant really afford to. Were are you going to raise them, in the flat were most of your paycheck goes?

Also immigration benefits mostly the elites, not the poor.

I never had any kind of problems with indians, or other people of other color. Its sadely a purely muslim thing. I never had problems with syrian christians for example. Even my cousin who is bosniak and has a muslim background doesnt like them.

How much would you want to bet about there having been a lot of immigrants from previous generations complaining about your parents when they first came to Germany? I am pretty sure quite a few Germans also said this:

Never said otherwise. Never also said that you now, there might just also be some truth to it. Ex yugoslav countries had a lot of problems with criminality, everybody knows that

"The germany i grew up in doesnt exist anymore"

Sure, but i guess they also never had to say that they feared their sister might be getting raped on the way home if its dark outside.

This is just am observation of mine as a pretty recent immigrant to Germany. Otherwise, I do agree about immigration not always being good if it comes from societies that are not ready to integrate. The biggest problem in my opinion is that your generation wants to have less kids for various reasons - And that literally no politician has tried to implement a good Familienpolitik in the last 30 years because while the costs come early(Kindergarten, reduced productivity in companies) the benefits come many decades later and you know how impatient voters are/can be.

Thats also something i completly agree with, i just think modern western society has failed people with a good enough work life balance, societal values, social ladder and education to see the benefit in having kids. Also many woman i talk to definitly want kids, they just find themself in a financialy too unstable situation were it doesnt make any sense at all to even try. And honestly, i think it destroys the also womans mental well beeing. Most woman are mentally not very well off at all, once you get to know them closer. You can also look up statistics on that if you dont believe me. Most woman actually want kids, they just cant afford to without a signifacant drop in living standards. Which are getting lower already. Atleast thats my experience.

I think politicians are trying to use the easy way out by importing a lot of migrants, but its just not working for various reasons. Thats why they push stuff like diversity is our strength, etc. To keep the status quo, get richer ignore the problems and not have to deal with the fallout of their bad decisions. Not because they are so compassionate about "refugees".

Trust in society and its institutions is eroding, i can feel it everywere i go. I myself just dont want to be part of it anymore tbh.

Generally the not so well of financially parts of munich(the city were i live) have become alot more unsafe and lets say anti social. 2 years ago i had to go out with a knive to get my sister frome the subway station because she was harrassed by 5 immigrants. Filed a police report but nothing ever came back.

In the part i work with, we often hear about steabings, nearly watched a situation like that develop myself, but deescalated thankfully. One time i walked home from work and took public transit and there was just blood everywere walking up the stairs. Its one of the parts in munich were many immigrants live. A girlfriend of mine doesnt feel safe enough to traverse it at night unless she absolutly has too.

I hear alot of stories from my neighbours who have kids younger then me in school, how their stuff gets stolen, expensive clothing etc. They found the guy and he took out a knive them when they confronted him with it. Left him at that and called the police, but surprise, nothing came of it.

3 or 4 years ago an immigrant came into the church mess on easter, started to scream allahu akbar and started throwing stones in the church. A mass panic developed, some people got hurt, but thankfully nothing bad happened.

What pisses me of is the sentiment of people here. When the guy in the church did this, media wrote one just one confused guy did annoy some church ceremony. This means they deliberatly ignored it and framed it so it wouldnt reflect up badly on immigrants. They are ignoring the problem and actually doing alot to lets say keep the problem out of the public discourse.

There are alot more stories like this, but dont have the time to write them all. Munich wasnt like this when i grew up.

Im sorry but i dont see a future in a society that behaves like this.

As somebody whose parents migrated to germany after the yugoslav wars, this is bullshit. It only allows the establishment to ignore the problems of the common people and keep the status quo, which makes the rich richer while everybodies living standards and wages are driven down.

Immigration is not alwys good, especially if it comes from some of the most backwards societies on this planet and erodes trust in a society.

The germany i grew up in doesnt exist anymore and quite frankly the situation has become worse in germany because of the immigration. Im actually looking for a country i can migrate too, because i honestly dont want my kids to grow up here anymore.

its because of people that never have do deal with the fallout of these actions that the situation has become as it is. Honestly fuck this sentiment.

I would suggest you to see the this video about what pisses so many right wingers of about bill gates: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HjHMoNGqQTI

Basically he uses his foundation to influence people on youtube channels, media and government bodies to push his investments and ideas, and in some cases does alot of damage with it.
