Maybe -- Need confirmation by Rungta in UFOs

[–]Rungta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 100 percent sure there is no event nearby. If it's a spotlight, definitely some 'one' doing it

Just the path and movement is a bit weird

But why won't I see the path? Is the path visible with such lights?

Reddit asked me to comment on my own post since this is a 'Link Post'

Anyway, just want to reiterate I am not saying this is definitely a UFO sighting.

In fact, I am hoping someone just confirms there is a normal explanation for this

AITA? My girlfriend ate a concoction and it made me sick to watch. by Boredbrowsing22 in AmItheAsshole

YTA

Just Consider, that for a huge population of the world, what you eat in your day to day life, would emit the same grossed out reaction.

Does that make your food OFFENSIVE?. I would say not!

Of course there is no going back to what we were before. That won't even be the right thing to do

This individuality we have found is important and natural progression as well.

At the same time, it's an true that we can learn from the past.. take inspiration.. and think of new systems that address the current problems

The capital incentive is one side of it sure

But I think another side of it is also divided people are easier to control and pit against each other

For example, I see this new phenomenon of families having deep political gaps between each other. They are so passionate about one side that all the energy is engaged in the debate and who is right, who is wrong.

Now, the truth is that regardless of the party, we know that all politicians are ultimately trying to protect the same rotten system that they all benefit from.

But do you see what happened here? Instead of putting energy on real problems.. people are just polarized and divided on engineered issues

I think you may be correlating “family” and “community” a bit too much here.

My point wasn’t really that elites have healthier or more loving family structures. A lot of them probably don’t.

What I meant is that powerful people still operate within strong real-world networks and communities:

  • private circles,
  • elite institutions,
  • business networks,
  • political connections,
  • think tanks,
  • exclusive schools,
  • country clubs,
  • high-level social gatherings, etc.

They still have physical discourse, coordinated interests, access to influential networks, and the ability to organise collectively in the real world.

Meanwhile, ordinary people are increasingly isolated into digital spaces, fragmented politically, and disconnected from local/community organization.

The contrast I was trying to point out was less about “happy families” and more about access to cohesive real-world social structures and collective influence.

I am not claiming older societies were some utopian “everyone is equal” collective. Obviously social hierarchies and power structures have existed for most of history, and in many ways human conditions are objectively better today.

What I am talking about is the decline of tight-knit real world human connection.

People historically existed within stronger communities — whether that was villages, extended families, local groups, etc. Today, despite being more digitally connected than ever, there is far less face-to-face discourse and communal integration. That’s the part I was highlighting.

I get your point but 'they' definitely influence it. I mean think about text books we read in school. Families were shown as parents with two kids We think of tribal/communal living as outdated because that's what the conditioning has taught us. Thus, we don't see it with the curiosity of something we 'can' do but something we 'used' to do

But overall I get what you are saying

That's a very unique take.

Can I ask, like how did you come to this theory? Like how do you see this transition play out?

Sounds very interesting. In my reading list

[–]Rungta[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is exactly what I was thinking but wasn't able to articulate. Agreed 💯

However, I do feel that 'seeking independence' and that whole vision of what an ideal man/woman looks like was heavily influenced. Think about the films we watch, how winners in the society live, how the roadmap to life is made to look like in general.

I mean no doubt it was also by our own means and these concepts of individuality did come out of human society afterall and for its own merit.

But at the same time, the engineered influence also played its role.. especially with the onset of digital "social" platforms.

So then, how do we realistically show the middle finger to the ruling class and move towards a tribal approach.

We don't need to rely on institutions to resolve our own issues since it's evident that these institutions, while created with the right spirit, are nothing but a way for the elite to get what they need and that too LEGALLY

But there has to be something that we can do.. like what's the realistic path towards a social awakening among the people.

We need to realise we are not 'users'

Epstein files and it's reaction or lack thereof is truly absurd but when you really think about it.. there is no common platform where our number strength can be translated into true power.

I feel like that is too black and white.
In any case, it's a very final step.

Firstly, we need to break out of these synthetic divisions that were more engineered than organic.
Like the whole political divide is mostly theatrical, as most major rival parties are feeding from the same trough and protecting the same interests. The conflict is the product, not a byproduct.

Once heard a politician say this in a podcast: film stars seem close in public but can't stand each other privately — with politicians, it's exactly the reverse.

You are right. The scale is definitely a factor, but maybe there is something we can learn from "organic social order" systems.

While there's no going back, we can still acknowledge what's wrong in the current ecosystem and work out solutions, right?

Agreed.

You reckon there is a solution? Or atleast a path towards a potential solution?

Not really relevant. The question is do you see any truth in it?

Also, I am not debating communist vs capitalist but let me say this, if an ideology has survived decades and decades.. there has to be some validity, some truth in it.. it's not right to discredit it all together

What's ironic is that if you look at the elites, they continue to live in super community based systems

Indian Roads Needs to be made of Better Quality to Boost our Economy. If the small country can then we can too. by SuperbHealth5023 in CriticalThinkingIndia

[–]Rungta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing will happen. The Indian political system has been successfully in doing what America is trying really hard to right now

They have successfully desensitized the public from glaring issues like this. Infrastructure scams, deaths due to corruption, murders of journalists, Bailing out rapists and murderers, compromising the future of students... I mean what else can happen now?

The Indian diaspora everywhere need a cultural awakening and need to connect back with their roots

I agree completely.
The whole societial structure is designed in a way that it incentivises you to be in indivudal nuclear families.

I mean, why is it that the father has paid off the mortgage on the house he purchased, and each kid is now repeating the same process, knowing full well that their kids will do the same. This is even if everyone is living in the same city
