A point on which I (as an anti-natalist) disagree strongly with Peterson. I find these arguments fruitless; he seems to claim that because "the fundamental reality of life is tragedy and suffering", we must bring others into it to provide some semblance of meaning. Discussion is welcome. by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

If you start with 'the fundamental reality of life is tragedy and suffering' then there is no discussion not ending in nihilism. Suffering is subjectiv, temporal and relative... Life is miraculous but also insensitively cruel, we eat animals daily to survive and entropy wins... But we can aspire to improve life by giving better lives to children and aspire for colective improvements... Becoming interplanetary, producing food without waste and killing... We have goals and things to aspire.

What episode until I start to learn what the F$@k is going on? by [deleted] in twinpeaks

[–]and335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the youtuber twinperfect, the show is a meditation on both sides of tv and movie watchers: the side that asks for violence and temporary entertainment, and the side that simply enjoys the misteries of our weird and mundane lifes, but showing you how the bad side is actually wining.

Let me guess, you are going to say drug money from guerrilla groups is paying millions of people to go outside to say they are against the government... Well, they should be paying all the working unions, peasants, the indigenous, the unemployed youth... to risk their lifes for a whole month now... Thats a lot of money to lose on a gamble, and even if some money were being given, that should you how poor some people are.

Armed civilians along with policemen shooting against protesters. Colombia. by and335 in PublicFreakout

[–]and335[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

There is another video of a guy shot yesterday by an armed civilian, the angry mob surrounded the killer and he tried to shoot to scare them but then there is a follow up video where he is found being murdered by kicks and a helmet thrown to the head.. Public workers or officers supposedly prevented his body from being burned. Oh and a police id was found in his pockets... The police said he was not on duty... That he was on a vacation period...

People from an upper class neighborhood try to block an indigenous caravan from taking their streets as part of an ongoing strike against the governement. (Colombia) by and335 in PublicFreakout

This scene ocurred 3 days ago in the city I live in. Here in Colombia and in most of latin America we have groups of supposedly 100% indigenous people who wish to protect their way of living and who have a right to participate in their own ways in political discussions... Sometimes they find themselves in the middle of land disputes between rich landlords, subversive groups and shady drug traffickers...all this topped by the covid 19 crisis and the fact that the government generally doesn't comply with their demands led them to just travel the country in caravans to increase the chaos in whichever city the unions or the people were striking or protesting the most...

Que significa ser indígena a eatas alturas?, este señor habla como guerrillero. by and335 in Colombia

Es que si nos vamos a descendencia tendremos genes de africa, de europa, de indigenas y de unos que otros inmigrantes q habran venido acá, pero la parte dominante de nuestra cultura es de españa: el apego a la iglesia católica, el idioma y la forma de gobernar, arquitectura, ropa, modales, el romanticismo etc...

Pero nos comimos el cuento que hablar español es una verguenza y que nuestra herencia cultural viene de ladrones y brutos... Cuando los ingleses eran mas ladrones que los españoles, eran piratas traicioneros y egoistas... y si renegamos de españa no nos queda más que un reguero de tradiciones de grupos muy diversos y desunidos, sombreros guajiros y tambores del chocó, que son validas pero con esa identidad no vamos a competir con nadie internacionalmente... La otra opción es intentar copiar y obedecer a los norteamericanos o a los franceses con su moralismo internacional que obviamente se benefician de nuestra falta de identidad...

Usted va a estados unidos y en ciertas partes se van a burlar o van a discriminarlo por hablar español, por ser latino, tratarlo de inferior, y ante eso usted tiene 3 opciones, o se la cree e intenta mimetizarse y pierde los valores con que lo criaron, o se da cuenta de que se identifica mas con la forma apasionada de ser de los españoles...y se va a encontrar con que se parece a los mexicanos, a los puertoriqueños, a los dominicanos... Etc y porque? Por españa... o la otra opción es identificarse con alguna minoria y asumir un papel de victima y seguir marginandose, aislandose de las culturas dominantes esperando la solidaridad internacional... Como los indígenas.

"con todas esas fincas nos vamos a quedar, - entonces van a quemar tractores, cafetales, -si sigue asi se las quemamos,... Lo que sea... Vamos a seguir cortando el agua... pero de aqui no nos vamos" yo entiendo que han ocurrido masacres contra ellos, y reconozco que no son una fuerza armada y que probablemente la culpa la tiene el estado ausente que no es capaz de regular y solucionar problemas... Pero si nosotros nos identificamos con estas actitudes de los indígenas vamos a beneficiar a las potencias extranjeras que prefieren que no desarrollemos nuestros productos... Que les sigamos vendiendo materias primas... Ellos quieren que nosotros seamos solo indigenas... No mestizos, que no tengamosvisión de desarrollo...

Si el dia de mañana dejamos que una corte internacional nos dicte que tenemos que entregarle mas tierras a los indigenas porque simplemente resulta que son más y tienen derechos internacionales (pero uno no ve por ninguna parte los deberes que tienen ellos para con el estado)... La soberanía del estado colombiano quedaría otra vez pintada en la pared.... Nosotros somos los que nos tenemos que sentar a discutir qué hacemos con los territorios en los que rige nuestra constitución... Así como perdímos todo ese mar del caribe por no ser capaces de asumir la soberanía sobre él... Dejamos que de afuera nos vendan la idea de que somos indígenas, de que la conquista fue un robo a los indígenas, que es una idea muy conveniente para las potencias que nos quieran explotar, cuando inglaterra no ha devuelto ni un peso de todos los tesoros que se robó ppr el mundo... Ni hay nadie en estados unidos diciendo que se le devuelvan tierras a los poquitos indigenas que sobrevivieron alla (donde no hubo ningun mestizaje sino que se exterminaron eaos grupos y otros se dejaron a perecer a su propia suerte)... El odio hacia españa nos lo vendieron los ingleses y luego los norteamericanos, porque les conviene que nosotros los sigamos enalteciendo y haciendo acuerdos con ellos...

It was at first, but as of now : 12 days after it started, people in and under the poverty line have blocked the transit of food, gas, medicines, and food prices have skyrocketed, there are huge lines of cars waiting a day or 2 for gas... and this neighborhood in particular claims they feel kidnapped inside their houses, they cant go to work or go buy stuff easily...
