🤔But then you have to ask who decides which societies are oppressed, impoverished, or broken and labeled as "underdeveloped." Sorry, but that feels like a warped perspective to me. Obviously, nobody is an angel free from ego. If we swapped places, who knows? It's all just speculation and projecting your own traits onto others. Sounds like a cheap excuse to me.
I wasn't trying to justify anyone or equate the victim with the aggressor. I guess I expected people to misinterpret me.
It’s pretty obvious how colonial powers got so strong and developed—by completely wrecking everything in their path.
Yeah. And? What does my personal growth have to do with "colonial powers"?
Am I supposed to join a class struggle or something? 😁
Man, anyone with even a shred of a soul can't even fathom the soullessness of a psychopath. The question is whether that brings them happiness, satisfaction, or peace—whatever they think counts as success or progress.
Ideologies like communism and the rest saw exploitation and built a system to fix it, but they ended up falling into the exact same trap.
Why?
No matter how "humane" an ideology looks on paper, it can't facilitate individual growth or change a person at a level deep enough to create actual change. It’s all surface-level stuff; you just end up changing the facade without touching the core. The ego just latches onto the idea of "humanity and progress" to justify its own violence. The violence doesn't go away; it just changes masks. The chaos keeps spinning. Action and reaction. One side goes down, the other goes up, and the cycle repeats. ☕
Schizophrenia is nothing more than extreme hypocrisy...
For instance, fighting against certain ideologies day and night, only to suddenly align oneself with American ideology as if it were the great liberator...
