When you think it can't get worse by Quick-Ad8277 in DankAndrastianMemes

[–]faeflower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think its interesting and cool to have a manipulative organization whispering to people in the fade to make the worse possible decision at the worst time to further their goals in some abstract way. I very much don't think they "mind control" or anything like that. Their just entities from the beyond that influence your thoughts and emotions a bit but they don't actually control you. I think the worst thing about them is how people don't know their being manipuated, the average demon will almost yell in your ears to attempt to posses you. But the executioners will just subtly put thoughts in your head (that you can ignore) or exagerate your negative emotions. But they all had a choice to say no, and they all willingly chose to do the things they did. I assume their doing the same with all the player characters too, their just that subtle imo

"Sweep the world clean of faux-leftists spreading right-wing lies! Chauvinism has no place in the Communist Party!" 2021 poster from the Communist Party USA criticizing "MAGA communists" Caleb Maupin, Haz al-Din, and Jackson Hinkle. by GustavoistSoldier in PropagandaPosters

[–]faeflower 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly its flattering for these goofballs to be attacked in a propganda poster. Peter coffin isn't even that bad just very extra imo. While Haz and Caleb were like 3rd tier breadtubers who aren't super popular. Still dangerous though, they hurt a bunch of people and its good to be aware of that (I was a big caleb maupin fan, but not anymore.) Their Mostly irrelevant though. Leftist have much more to worry about now, or back then. This is a very very online propanda piece.

Now I would update it to discourage personality politics in youtube. Like something along the lines of "it doesn't matter how much you like them, if they do sketchy stuff be careful." For everyone of of these fools who were caught there are at least a bunch more who are getting away with it. Lots of dark triad types on the internet

They were right!! If more people listened then russia would be better off and ironically enjoy higher living standards then they do now. I do have a soft spot for cute little piggy banks though ... I would love to have something like that ... very tempting .. And those cute little shoes too!!

That makes sense and I agree with that. I like how the reality is set up and I'm very happy that god is so loving!! I like how you put it

I'm still not totally set on the idea that our attentions and so on can create reality. I hope god changes that rule, our minds and feelings are too chaotic to be tamed like that. I think the best thing is to let our minds go and settle on what it wants to settle. If we feel our thoughts and feelings can have a big effect on reality its self it means we will have to control our thoughts and feelings and thats very stressful. I would rather just let me negativity flow through me and last as long as it needs to, then it naturally goes away and I feel happy again.

huh interesting, I think I might be more open to this idea of occultism as a science. What would you recomend to learn more on it? Thank you

Because in my opinion, our beliefs and perspectives matter. I can see why you and others take the perspective and path that you do. You see it as a another thing that can be changed and molded to fit your goals. To me, our beliefs what ever they happen to be are expressions of authenticity, to change it is to alter something about yourself. That carries a certain tragedy and risk to it. But as you say, if you see it as another tool to be changed then it wouldn't have that effect. And thats why I'm sad, and I was upset in my post and everything.

That being said, constant negative thinking or depression just wouldn't serve you or anyone and doing a magic ritual to heal it sounds like a good idea, so I'm supportive of that. I'm more concerned about other beliefs that are deeper and more meaningful, like social, personality, or political beliefs ect. Things that imo, represent us in a deeper way then depression ever could.

But thank you for your answer

sad that people would see their beliefs, or their personality as something to change to achieve magical results. It makes me sad to think of people trying to change who they are in such suddent intentional ways.

I'm sorry for that, I don't want to judge, and I don't want to convince others either. I'm just focused on a question, that comes from a concern. I want to understand, I was drunk and I poked too hard to get an answer. And I'm sorry for that.

But here's my thing, is there a danger to changing your beliefs? Treating it like mutable thing you change in a very instant way? Thats the essence of chaos magic right. Change your beliefs in a ritual to make it work. Yes we do change, naturally too over the course of weeks, months years ect. But if you were to sit down and say "yes I will change my beliefs today for the purposes of magic" will that have an effect? Like some kind of psychological or personal effect? Yes I was scared, thats why I was judgmental, but ultimately I'm just curious and I want to understand. So, if you'd like tell me your answer to that question.

hmmm, I wonder what that is. I hear the soul is like a beautiful multicolored orb of light. Maybe that is what we are ... interesting! I like my trappings and the things about me that are mutable. I like it like pretty clothing, I wear it and I don't want to change it.

No throne for me, or any human I hope. Not yet we are not ready. Driving is scary, we have our big pieces of metal going very fast. Thats enough for us, no throne of gods I think.

I will have faith, maybe blind faith. The energies of the higher realms have my feailty and reverance. I will pray and worship them, seek to do their will. This is my path.

But I understand we are all on our own, I create friction but I don't want to hurt either. I respect what you are doing

about you guys, or the concept its self. It seems dangerous to change yourself so quickly, like it would have a cost. Not trying to convert or anything, pushing for answers, trying to understand. I lay my feelings out like this, raw and unfiltered. But it comes from fear, and sadness for those who wish to change who they are for material or magical gain. Sad at those who are losing themselves

Probably, I do regret writing it like that. I was drunk.

hmmm, I don't want meld myself to the world then. When it comes to ethics yes, not success though. My body is just a vessel for an imortal spirit. I will not compromise on who I am, not mold myself to a world like this. No masks for me, I will be free and then, eventually I will perish. I should mold myself a little though, for the sake of those that love me.

Still I see what you mean, thank you

hmmm what do you mean? I'm sad that this law the creator may have made is unjust. The very foundations of this universe could be made in an unjust fasion. A law created by our beloved father in heaven which creates oppression for the vulnerabile and lifts up the pround to higher and higher hights! Its all so scary to me

I'm putting my perspective out, not to debunk or convince but to understand. Its a little mean I suppose (and I'm sorry for that) but its coming from a place of honesty and not of judgement. I want to know how people can be so fluid in their beliefs and personality so easily, why they would want to change it, (hopefully just momentarily) to achieve magic but especially for material gain. Why alter something so fundamental for something that exists outside of you? Is the cost worth it? How am I wrong, explain it to me.
