>mfw I just realized how absolutely dangerous and retarded Anti-Semitism is

I've been reading a lot of historic conspiracy claims made about the Jews and to my shocking astonishment, the Anti-Semitic statements of today are literally no different to the theories being pushed in the 19th and early 20th century.

All the exact same stuff:

own land, make money
subvert custom and tradition and promote liberalism
usury and globalisation, divide and rule etc etc etc

It's literally each generation rehashing the same ideas under different terms 'Cultural Bolshevism' becomes 'Cultural Marxism'. Elaborate conspiracies with absolutely not a single piece of evidence, incredibly dangerous stuff.

Anyone else notice this?

Please no /pol/ posts, I know you won't be able to provide a single piece of evidence.

>>
>>1835063
These are actually problems, they're just not exclusive to Jews. And back in the day Jews didn't own land, they just did usury, which was exclusive to Jews. Basically, white people actually hate capitalists, but they're so cucked by propaganda double think, they are convinced by white capitalists it's only Jewish capitalists that are the problem, and not just rich Jews, but poor Jews as well. It's a successful deflection by white capitalists who hope to run their Jewish competitors out of business and take attention off themselves by using poor whites who won't benefit from the success of capitalist whites, by trying to turn the capitalism issue into a racial issue. Since the majority is prole and white, it makes sense for capitalists whites to make the proles think about their whiteness instead of them being proles.

Why does it seem like pollution and environmental issues like overpopulation were much considered much worse and concerning in the late 1960s and 1970s? It definitely seems like it was a theme in popular media and culture at the time (Soylent Green, Silent Running, etc.) How did they fix these problems/why did people seem to care much less about these issues in later decades?

It started and gained momentum with fearmongering and a few intellectual minds standing out. Essentially it was all these new technological advancements plus an awareness of what was going on. Also TV standards were loosened, and started depicting some of the horrors to-be that would destroy our environment. You had Nuclear incidents like Chernobyl and Three-Mile. People were still scared of microwaves because they're a form of "radiation".

You also have the white-washing by media giants as production of goods becomes increasingly centralized around just a few corporations, and they're the same ones who fund our media, so they're not going to talk about the environmental impacts of their production and often block news outlets from discussing those issues.

Politics plays a role in this too, as one half of our political system became Reaganomics which supported these big business endeavors with massive tax breaks which were in the name of fighting stagflation. As these Republican ideals formed a cohesive bond with donations from these massive business conglomerates, trade-protectionism became a key part of rhetoric. And along with all of that, it became taboo to talk about environmental issues, because we needed "strong business" to fight those evil commie bastards. Thus, caring about the environment became equated with communism and hippies. And to add to this, many of the "hippies" movements lost their leaders (assassination) as well as achieving their goals (civil rights), so the hippie movements who also supported environmental issues lost a lot of their steam for progress. We only see a current resurgence thanks to the digital age.

Doubtful
The US genocided millions of Japanese civilians through firebombings between 1942 and 1945 while Japan never killed any US civilian (the few that died at Pearl Harbour were hit by US fire)

Culturally, it was great.

Economically and in terms of political stability, things were hard from 1918 to 1924 and again after 1929, but from 1924 to 1929 there was a brief golden age when the economy was doing well and things were pretty stable.

They had top tier /pol/ banter.

In Orthodoxy, worship in Church is reconciliation of heaven in worth, united in praising God. The dome is the heavens, with Christ looking down, and the floor is the earth. Angels and saints adorn the walls, and those in Christ in heaven join us. But this depiction cannot be in simple raw, material terms, since it is the meeting of the ethereal and earth, the Kingdom of God, which is not simply the materializing of the spiritual, but the harmonizing of the spiritual and material. Therefore the depictions have to feel unusual and otherworldly, yet simple and spiritual: this all comes together in the unique style of Orthodox art.

I have been reading Dostoevsky and it has been really affecting me. I feel the kind of religion he is talking about is very different from the kind I have exposed to. Why/how did orthodox christianity get so different? Any book recs?
>>
>>1835413
Orthodox Christianity didn't get different. Rather, it's the rest of Christendom that did. Orthodox Christianity just didn't change.

Two novels I'd recommend

The Way of a Pilgrim: this is a very mystical novel that was found in a Greek monastery. It is about a homeless wanderer in 19th Century Russia seeking to learn the secret of perpetual prayer, to be able to pray every waking and sleeping second.

Laurus: this is a relatively recent novel from Russia. It's about a man who falls into fornication (monogamous, loving fornication, but still fornication) that leads to catastrophic consequences, and how that in turns leads him to a path of repentance that makes him a holy fool. A holy fool is a special concept in Orthodoxy, here is an example of an actual one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_Fool_for_Christ

You're probably familiar with the concept from Dostoevsky. Stinking Lizaveta was seen as a Holy Fool in the Brothers Karamazov, which accentuates the horrific nature of her being raped.

Writings by African GI's indicate that they felt they were treated much better by Europeans than by Americans. I remember reading somewhere about a black soldier who was a POW and felt that the conditions in the German prison camp were better than back home in the US.

Ton of factors in this. They technically are right now, but not hardcore.

They could solo a majority of the earths gdp with nukes, but that's not too impressive.

Like for instance, in one month they can make 1.5 thousand Abrahms tanks. That could actually rival the entire planets production, but they couldn't get a decisive victory from those tanks in the first month, and after like 3-4 months all countries would be in total war.

They could also riposte a lot of missiles and whatnot, and maybe even sustain a war against the planet for a year at most (if everybody else completely botches the cruise missile/air war on u.s. homeland, which they probably wouldnt, not to mention sleepers), but they can't blitzkrieg the entire planet.

im not sure he needed to exist.

We are imprisoned in a global system of mind control created not by conspirators but by emergent, self-perpetuating, and self-serving sociocultural structures that subvert all agency except for the most trivial choices and won't die out because these structures are constantly competing for mind share and evolving to better exploit it, and if one structure dies another will replace it.

Consider religion. Christianity hooks people by playing on fear of death and hell as well as desire for eternal life, salvation and truth. Once it implants itself it burrows in, into mental habit, hijacking emotion. Eventually the believer experiences God, loves God and feels God's love, literally. It has hijacked the most powerful emotion we can experience to perpetuate itself. Through a few years the totalizing belief system becomes a perception of their world. They then are compelled to spread this belief system to others and their children, to spread the good news. And so it is with all religion, in various ways and degrees.

But even if traditional religion died out, it wouldn't matter. We have recently seen the fresh emergence of technology-worship in the wake of Christianity becoming less popular. Gods are promised as super-AIs that are beyond the limits of all humanity, benevolent machines that will save us. We will live eternally by uploading our minds. We will have limitless abundance as robotic servants do every task imaginable for us. We will ascend to the very heavens themselves in shiny spaceships and live among the stars. We will make Star Trek real. This is the atheistic religion of the technology consumer whose appetites know no end.

Nationalism, globalism, political ideologies and parties, socioeconomic systems, just look at how the Believers of these structures act, the mechanisms of control that act upon them, and you will see the truth of this. The Enlightenment myth is that we are rational actors, able to judge claims and ideas by reason alone, that being in error is merely a matter of ignorance, not having enough information. The reality is that we are usually ruled by our emotions, especially when our beliefs and perceptions are deeply ingrained. Because we are immersed in these systems of control our entire lives, we do not know otherwise, the illusion if our own agency can be maintained. We are able to choose between a vast array of products and services.

The economic world is effectively owned and/or controlled by large corporations and banks - socioeconomic entities that only have the purpose of persistence and profit. Even their investors are enthralled, owned by ownership. Most of the time pieces of corporations are owned by other corporations, and corporations may even own pieces of each other and indeed at the highest levels we find an enmeshment of ownership such that it is like a single corporation controls the core of the global economy: https://www.sg.ethz.ch/media/medialibrary/2013/12/james_glatteth-2007-02.pdf The super-rich aren't even in control.

We are immersed in consumer culture, from our birth we are bombarded by advertisements, marketing messages, and consumer media from all directions. It conditions us to focus on consumption, to love it. It plays on our basic reward and punishment mechanisms, giving buy highs, "buyer's remorse" and envy for not having. All of Maslow's hierarchy, every possible need is being serviced, including ones that cannot be commodified: buy this and you will be popular and belong, buy this and you will have self esteem and confidence, buy this and you will be like this celebrity, buy this will make you a good person in whatever way. Love and worship this celebrity, or hate and despise them, check out New Movie by Guy Everyone Loves. Just like religion hijacks all of human experience, so does consumer culture.
