  • To me both work and both won’t work. It’s just up to what you can deal with or clears your conscience.

    If enough people left because of this, the problem would be solved, the dog would lose its teeth. If enough people fought the problem, the problem would also be solved.

    The reality is; a ridiculous amount of the population will even consider they should be doing something. Not only they won’t, but they will fuel the war machine, vote the vilains to power again and again, buy whatever propaganda they are sold that makes them feel without guilt and still enjoy a first world life built on the exploitation of weaker countries.

    Even here, with more informed people we get people posting constant brainwash about scape goats (chinese, immigration, whatever bullshit they watch on tv).

    If enough people cared the problem wouldn’t even exist to begin with. How powerful is the military, big companies, etc, without slaves to serve them?

    So, it’s whatever makes you feel better. To me right now is trying to make sure I’m not helping the problem to get worse. I don’t care if everyone else is evil and happier because of that. I can’t convince anyone to change, so I just want to reduce my own guilt.





  • Who should I donate to? I sent you a private message ages ago about that. That’s the biggest thing I can do, where my money goes to.

    I don’t want to do activism anymore. I did a lot before and that just affected me. I’m old enough to know that nothing will ever change, it never did. Things just change hands some times.

    I’ve seen so many israeli and american invasions in my life. Each one of them made me think “this is it, the world won’t accept this one”. And in return we get more movies where the hero saves the world from the terrorists and the tickets sale grows new records again and again. And if you talk to any australian, they will tell you about those chinese, spying on you, killing everyone, they are going to invade next week and eat your dog! Or is it the comunists? The terrorists? The antichrist?

    I admire those who still have hope, but I don’t. I just don’t want to be part of the problem. And right now, living here, I am. If the next bondi incident have me as one of the killed, I wouldn’t find it unfair. But right now I can’t leave, and although I try I can’t ignore this shit I’m involved. So if I go to any protest or anything it’s because I feel kind of forced. It won’t change anything, I am still guilty like most australians, but it makes me pretend I’m doing something about it. I don’t know…

    Edit: I mean, do you remember Snowden? What activism can be bigger than someone giving clear proof to the whole world that the US is spying on everyone? I was in Brazil back then, there were leaked conversations of the president. I though that for sure the brazilian government, all those governments would do something about it. And nothing. And that’s just one of many examples.

    If something like that and the others can’t fix anything, no amount of activism will. Not in a meaningful way. I doubt any murder was prevented.

    And even some concrete action, like what the palestinians did that trying to counter attack, resulted in Gaza being completely destroyed. Or the actions of the Palestine group in UK, where now they will die of hunger in jail. And new laws are being in place there and here in response to show who’s really in power.

    Sorry for the long post. I’m just screaming at the clouds. This stuff frustrates me a lot.





  • Yup. I used to to think that future generations would look at our car culture the way we look at slavery. Destroying the planet for profit, comfort and laziness. Then the battery revolution happened and if anything the laziness got even worse.

    Even vehicles that used to be prohibitive are now used more then the better option, like electric scooters, bicycles, etc. I see a lot more electric bicycles on the road now than proper ones. And most of them teenagers, so that’s not even the usual excuse of *it’s replacing a car " because they can’t drive, it just added more vehicles, just unlicensed ones.

    But it makes people feel good with hypocrisy to pretend that they are doing something good, without really making any effort or sacrifice, except spending more money and consuming more.

    It’s our idea of making a difference. Consuming.






  • Yeah, sorry, that was badly phrased.

    I hate the muslim religion. Most religions really. I know a lot of nice muslims, and people from many religions. It doesn’t make them bad people, but religion is an evil thing which allows humans to be their most evil. And the most evil people will use it.

    It’s using religion as an excuse that israel was founded and managed to murder so many people and commit so much evil. So many millions of people were murdered as well using christianity as a tool, and also islam, and the list goes on.

    But there are billions of people supporting religion, so it’s hard to criticize it without looking bad. I am offending billions of people by equating their religion to evil.

    It’s like stealing for me. You’re not necessarily bad because you steal. That doesn’t necessarily define who you are, but it is something bad and you should be criticized for that. And if you make stealing the whole of your personality, like people do with religions, it’s going to be hard to not criticize you as a person.

    Anyway, I shouldn’t post. I always make my opinion sound horrible.


  • I know you hate Muslims, but this is not about Muslims. That’s as racist as thinking that all Jews are genocidal maniacs.

    Israel kill a lot of people, not just Muslims. The issue is about them doing whatever they want and us helping them and even changing the laws for their benefits.

    Personally, I hate Muslims. It’s a religion full of hate, just like Jews. Both religions and the criminals using that as an excuse should disappear. Christians are more hypocritical and lazy but still dangerous too. And if Australia was making it illegal to protest against a genocidal Muslim country murdering hundreds of thousands of people just because muslim criminals have too much influence here I would be very pissed too.

    Anyway about the news, thanks for that. I guess greens are becoming too successful and inevitably selling out. Time to chose something else to vote for…

    But I don’t know… Relying on other people take away a lot of the experience.

    I had to rely too every month on trips to buy food and I didn’t like at all that I couldn’t be self sufficient. But at least it was my money.

    Plus, the fear. Just going into town one a month was terrible. I can’t imagine him going to the camps 40 times a year. He mentions how much of a toll it took on him and I can imagine. But doing it that often? That’s a massive will to survive. I would give up. I can take what nature throws at me, but humans are unpredictable and dangerous. It would be just constant suffering and anxiety.

    That’s so cool. He did what I wanted to do. But mine only lasted 4 months before I was found.

    I can clearly understand his fear of attracting attention. And the pleasures of solitude…

    And I understand why he didn’t run again. Once you’re found, the dream is kind of shattered. The feeling of safety is gone… But his lasted a life time.

    The night when he went to a house where there was someone there must have traumatised him for weeks. Or it would have done that to me at least.

    I never thought of stealing. I don’t know if I could do that.


  • The regime lost. They went into hiding or ran away. It’s not necessary for every single person related to a group to be killed for it to lose.

    The soviet union lost. Nazis lost. The Ottoman empire lost. England, Spain, Portugal didn’t lose to an enemy but their empires died. One group is always thought as evil in western education, the other is not.

    The united states need to be properly defeated for the next winners to see the American atrocities in a proper light.

    But I would be already happy with just their empire fading away and only lies remaining in school books.
