  • It’s kinda shocking how the tactics of colonialism end up mirroring itself throughout history. The occupation and destruction of Gaza and the occupation and destruction of the Indian Mughal empire are devastatingly similar.

    The beginning of the end for the Mughal happened during the Indian rebellion in 1857 when troops of the Mughal empire rebelled against the British East India company. It started as a popular uprising against the military of the company, but after an incident akin to Oct 7th around 200 British women and children were taken hostage and eventually killed by a small group of rebels.

    In response the British went on a retribution campaign that would end up killing upwards to 800k Indians, most of which were civilians. During the retribution campaign there were motifs we can recognize today being implemented in modern colonialism.

    Particularly the use of false allegations in media to justify retributive violence and sexual assault against women.

    “British soldiers also committed sexual violence against Indian women as a form of retaliation against the rebellion.[163][164] As towns and cities were captured from the sepoys, the British soldiers took their revenge on Indian civilians by committing atrocities and rapes against Indian women.”

    “Incidents of rape allegedly committed by Indian rebels against British women and girls appalled the British public. These atrocities were often used to justify the British reaction to the rebellion. British newspapers printed various eyewitness accounts of the rape of English women and girls. One such account was published by The Times, regarding an incident where 48 English girls as young as 10 had been raped by Indian rebels in Delhi. Karl Marx criticized this story as false propaganda, and pointed out that the story was written by a clergyman in Bangalore, far from the events of the rebellion, with no evidence to support his allegation.”

    “During the aftermath of the rebellion, a series of exhaustive investigations were carried out by British police and intelligence officials into reports that British women prisoners had been “dishonoured” at the Bibighar and elsewhere. One such detailed enquiry was at the direction of Lord Canning. The consensus was that there was no convincing evidence of such crimes having been committed, although numbers of British women and children had been killed outright.[181]”



  • I’m saying that there are two types of truths. One is what is reality but that we are forced to view it through our sense and mind and consciousness which can never actually grasp the real reality.

    This requires some cognitive dissonance to overcome its logical inconsistency.

    You cannot claim there to be a “true” reality while also claiming that our perceptive biases are so strong that we cannot accurately experience/describe it.

    That filter is what makes it a subjective truth.

    This is an unsubstantiated claim that is easily disputed by the concept of empirical content.

    This is to my point that the right understand this and succeeded in a lot of areas the left don’t because of this.

    Lol, you don’t need to adopt a relative perspective of reality to understand the concept of manipulation and lying.

    The left are very rigid and seen to fall on their own truth. I see it in arguments and online. They don’t mold things or play around with events the same way the right does.

    I think you have a problem with moral/ethical constructs moreso than a mind/body problem.

    think they don’t because of their relationship to what they see as true or not.

    I would argue that the perspective of a shared moral or ethical constructual “truth” is what separates the left and the right.

    If we deny the idea of a moral or ethical truth what is the point of a leftist government anyways? If we’re all experiencing a personally subjective reality, what is the point of an empathetical society?

    I think your individualist perspective is a lot more common on the right than the left.

    The way the right have reframed arguments about trans, racism, Jeffery Epstein, immigration, government needs to be better understood by the right. Not just called out but instead adapted.

    The method is incompatible with the end goals. The right can lie and create mistrust because chaos and instability is their goal. This is not the same as the left, who are trying to create stability and equity through organization.


  • how do you know that other observer is not a p zombie or part of the hallucination.

    Because p zombies are a poorly constructed philosophical concept, not a tangible reality.

    The idea of something physically identical to humans but lacks consciousness is circular reasoning as the engagement of the physical body and the environment is what creates consciousness.

    The same applies to hallucinations. Hallucinations require previous knowledge and interaction with emperical content. So even if you hallucinate the sun, that implies the existence of an actual sun you are hallucinating about.

    Truths it isn’t something we can deal with. We can only deal with our truths which is subjective, not objective

    That’s a self defeating argument. Stating that all truths are subjective implies that the statement itself is subjective.


  • The four officials — the former principal of Ninnekah High School, a former superintendent, a former athletics director and a former secretary — were dismissed from the lawsuit as part of the settlement.

    ^Word of Akins’ relationship with Jane Doe No. 2 began to spread in the school district. Multiple adults and former students told authorities district staff were aware of the rumors but brushed it off, according to law enforcement reports.

    I currently live in OK, Ninnekah is a tiny shithole in the middle of nowhere with like 700 people in it. If more than a couple of adults knew about it, the whole town knew about it.
