Also Golwalkar is 100% pro-nazi, he only went against them later for gains.

"German Race pride has now become the topic of the day. To keep up the purity of the race and its culture, Germany shocked the world by her purging the country of the Semitic races -- the Jews. Race pride at its highest has been manifested here. Germany has also shown how well-nigh impossible it is for races and cultures, having differences going to the root, to be assimilated into one united whole, a good lesson for us in Hindusthan to learn and profit by." (Golwalkar, MS, “We Or Our Nationhood Defined”, Nagpur, 1939, p. 45)

In general maybe, but if you were selling something online and received bitcoin on a wallet not associated with your irl identity you can be anonymous, its just not practical because you need to de-anonymize to get that into actual cash unless you really know what you are doing.

Monero is better.

Its not that, its more the general feeling of an american decline and an obsession on knowing how it will end.

Doomer feelings are growing more prevalent as out population becomes more divided and our monetary situation grows worse.

Many americans feel that our "American Empire" that dominated world politics is losing ground fast and there is a need to cope by being "smart" and swearing you know how it will happen.

Its pure copium, but it feels good to cope and feel an illusion of control.

TL;DR: its a need for control in worsening times, not hatred, that drives the doomer theories of an American collapse.

idk, smart people who are not on the spectrum tend to be great at explaining things in an easy to understand way for people of any intelligence level.

As for people on the spectrum, it depends on how they are specifically, many things can cause them to be more or less understandable to any joe-shmoe.

also if you are in one of those demographics it can be even better.

you would have a level of rapport inherently with those people and can make those connections even easier.

furthermore they tend to push harder against sanctions when they happen.

many of the most well known sanctioned nations (north korea, iran, turkiye, etc.) have just made their own stuff to varying degrees, based on how much they aren't allowed to buy.

furthermore bigger nations like china can fire back hard if need be.

we saw how europe's sanctions against russia were met with gas denial.

all in all, sanctions usually don't do much outside of wartime other than piss off the target of said sanctions, and actually push them to rely on you less.

they wouldn't reduce it to irradiated rubble, they would just use small yield nukes on certain cities to force capitulation.

they need ukraine to be usable for annexation so expect at most kyiv and maybe 1 or 2 other cities to be lightly irradiated.

like after a few months it would be cleaned up.

the real damage is to the people who would be in the areas, they could have generational dna damage.

I would assume it depends on the kind of strike.

If the russians use small yield nukes not much bigger than regular missiles I really doubt any nato response would happen.

The reality is a response is a possible avenue to real nuclear war, its stupid to basically commit suicide like that.

Russia wouldn't dare let anything reach the rest of europe, any nukes they use are almost certainly going to be small yield which nato wouldn't bother responding too, they are about as big as regular missiles.

yeah thats a good point, russia has crappy tanks and stuff but a lot of that is they used their military spending on nuclear weapons.

they know its their best trump card and they want to "win" by killing us more efficiently.

yeah people don't seem to understand the reality of nuclear war, how much nations want to avoid it, and that russia isn't a paper tiger like the news claims.

Russia is a near equal to america in its nuclear tech and absolutely has the firepower needed to induce MAD back at us.

Its the dumbest thing to think for a second that its a good idea to push for any kind of war with russia because it runs the risk of a game over for all nations involved.

places like the uk are absolutely done for, the whole island would be a mess.

we are probably heading towards that because the usa did the same thing that caused it already.

The crisis happened because the usa put bombs in turkiye which is super close to the ussr.

Now the usa has bombs in turkiye and other nato members near russia.

The issue is that we can't handle what we dish out, I guarantee if russia station nukes further than we stationed them to russia that we would freak out and threaten nuclear apocalypse.

the usa makes unnecessary enemies by acting hypocritical and basically pushing other nations around.

At one point we could have gotten russia in nato and could have slowly influenced it to be like the rest of nato.

Instead we gave them the middle finger and created a jaded enemy that wants to be the ussr again because we treated them as the ussr.

ukraine wouldn't be enough to push nato to even regular war let alone a nuclear response.

If putin keeps the radiation from spilling into nato territory its not enough to start ww3.

Despite cnn's lies, nato doesn't actually care much for ukraine, they just see this as a way to do damage indirectly to an enemy they want to hurt.

Nato isn't interested in committing suicide, afterall nuclear war benefits noone.

Honestly I see the ukraine situation either ending with a discussion that cedes at least the 2 "republics" on the border, or small yield nukes being used on small targets to scare ukraine to the negotiation table.

The reality is russia can last enough in war but ukraine is pretty tough and has nearly the same if not even more men than russia fielded.

they will almost certainly negotiate.

Forget that, we will probably be in a financial crisis before that.

I am thinking many nations will crumble due to this, many of the biggest nations are suffering and their markets are being ruined.

China's housing bubble popped and its banks are closing, the usa's economy is not in a good place and the attempts to fix its inflation are damaging many other nations, places like turkiye have had their currency become extremely weak.

Many nations are in stagnation or are in decline.

That would defeat the purpose of crypto. If its possible to pull the plug on a nation's crypto assets, which should be impossible, it would mean those coins are centralized and therefore useless garbage.

The ukraine situation has had a strange side effect of showing what is trustable and what is not, if my country pissed of the rest of the world I would only use something that couldn't be messed with.

yup, its time to go to other cities like austin.

If you want the perfect place to live look for a red state but a city thats moderate and large.

You get sweet sweet low tax rates, usually affordable housing, good jobs, political extremists are more rare since liberals aren't too powerful and the conservatives basically lost their previous dominance.

Red states with large moderate cities are the place to live in the usa.

Low taxes, less crazy people, good living.

If your city is dominated by one political side completely its basically time to run away.

typically not addictive.

Anyone who takes them runs the risk of being addicted to the experience hence the abuse of these drugs in the first place.

It may not be the same kind of addiction but they still go back time and time again.

Furthermore various mental issues can come from them so even if you don't get addicted you can still be harmed.

Its a useless past-time thats dangerous and is less fun than other mediums of entertainment.

Rather than reduce yourself to an incoherent mess for a while you can spend the money doing basically anything else for a better time.

Hang out with friends, travel somewhere in you state or country, play some video games, anything else is better.

Its a useless risk that should be banned, other than medical use, to protect society.

What matter is that we protect society.

Fun doesn't keep the nation together, we can't decide whats right or wrong just off of fun.

If you want to seriously harm yourself I believe we need to stop you.

That includes drug addictions, I think addicts need to be forcibly helped and not given more avenues to ruin their life.

I hate this "live and let live" type thinking with drugs because it enables people to ruin their lives.

I would rather be disliked but see people be healthy and their lives go well, than be liked for my opinion but enable people to ruin their lives.

addiction is no joke and consent to it doesn't make it right!

thats why people never get addicted, oh wait people abuse them habitually all the time.

drugs of any kind are addictive, infact even mere behaviors are addictive let alone drugs.

Its truly a mark of an individual in denial when they claim their favorite drugs aren't bad for them.

yes drugs are bad for you.

yes even weed is bad for you and is very addictive.

And people always bring up the medical use, but we all know what its going to be primarily used for.

We need to treat these drugs like we do other medicine, criminalize it if its not a prescribed one unless its very weak.

Its a huge problem if we let people ruin themselves with this garbage under the guise of decriminalizing for medicine, when we already are able to just prescribe them as medicine usually.

buddhists do believe in GOD, just not the same way christians do.

Anyone who claims its athiest is mistaken and hasn't done enough research into it.

Can't speak on real shintoism, I don't know anything about it, but the meiji era state-shintoism held the emperor as their deity.
