I know you used to quote Buddhism but you're right that your current attitudes reflect Hindu culture. I probably know a lot more about that stuff than you. And the caste system is anti-meritocratic and regressive. No place in the modern world.


The caste system in its original state is fluid and based on prrsonality. The modern indian interpretation is a twisted version of what was represented before the kurukshetra wars, possibly the after effects of the Kali Yuga during the Dwapara Yuga.

If you want to know more about the culture I suggest reading the Bhagavad Gita.

It's hilarious that sub-mediocre thinkers like you always try so very hard to find some kind of alternate social structure where you can imagine that you deserve to be near the top.

I mean, it's really, definitely not just you that I've seen this sort of thing with, and it's just hilarious every time. There's nothing that a dullard seems to enjoy more than finding a way to delude themselves into thinking they're anything but.

I have actually read that. And the Ramayana. I am stronger in Christian theology. I like Buddhist ethics and other virtue based ethics like Aristotle's a lot more though. Kant has my heart.

Ramayana is great too! Rama and sita represent the male and female archetypes from Hindu culture.

The thing I like especially about Hinduism is that its a complete worldview. Many views are reactionary and arent complete guides to life.

Ive never read any of Kant unfortunately.

Yep, he's dumb enough to think that there's any classified information in the report that they saw, GG indeed.

If only he wasn't such a complete mouthbreathing dipshit and showed up to his intelligence briefings, he might have already known what was in the report instead of having to cry like a child who wasn't invited to play tag.


Cry white boy! We'z President Nah!

I think you're gotten pretty out of touch and turned some weird Buddhist fascination into some horribly classist rhetoric. If you really believe the things you say on here I believe you are an evil person and should reconsider your worldview and offer your fellow man some more grace, and have some more humility.

way to religion assume, bigot

Oh I see - you know more about it than the local scholars do because you might or might not fap to Evola.
He's not a bad scholar though.

Well, the Yavanas affected Buddha's sculpting, and the Saka meant affection upon their history as well. Which of the two are more Indian according to you?

Evola you say? He was truly a gift to us men among the ruins, mounted on our degenerate tigers.
