Like, come on. You must see how this kind of thing is really postmodern.

Agreed. Humans are always born stupid and remain that way. No one truly understands the world other than how they perceive it

100%, and that’s what also causes a lot of division in the USA, you have so many people from so many different cultures and back grounds that have taught them to perceive the world around them the way they do

In various ways

I don't think it's just in America (although currently in the USA the problem is greatly noticeable). In Vietnam or Europe, there is a silent culture that people don't talk about -- if you step out of line, you're ostracized (differences is, because most people in the country clustered close to each other in values/opinions) so there's no division

That moment when you are presupp pilled.

Well lads, we apparently have the Buddha to blame for the existence of the patriarchy......... yep

Honestly, does anyone have any thoughts about this? Some people in another server I'm in started a flame war over it, and its still raging as I'm typing this out

Im about to slap the CRUSADE button

that is just a dissapointing article

holy fuck. they start attacking BUDDIHISM???

one of the more peaceful religions out there and of course the left wants to ruin it

"Can't have shit in Detroit"

Uhhhhhhhh. My initial thought is that they should read the Book of Buddhism, talk to the monks and understand the principles first before going apeshit about "woke" culture. How tf is it "misogynist"?

Feel free to read it for yourself. To make a long story short, a lot of people on the left are trying to shit on Buddhism and blame it for the spread of misogyny, while absolving Islam of all of its sins and pinning the blame on the buddha

They understood NOTHING. NOTHING!!! OF THE RELIGION!!! BUDDISM TEACHES "NO SEX OR SEXUAL THOUGHTS"!!! (IE. GREED). Obviously they would tell the monks not to eat a woman's out

You bet I am going through this one-by-one

if these people knows monks have committed suicides after accidentally having "sexual thoughts" and fantasizing woman

GOD

i'm sorry. I thought "woman is independent". there are so many feminist-empowering poems telling women "you're lethal", "you're a weapon". Wtf do you want then???

Of course the monks are taught not to walk around naked. How does that even say patriarchy??

Yes. People are social animal. They WILL GOSSIP when they come close together

YOU CAN'T GOSSIP. It's dishonesty for talking about people behind their back and shows jealousy

my what a conversation- imma head to general 😆

UGHHHH i gonna scream if i keep reading further

it's mostly me yelling to myself 😭

you are on here a lot, no?

haha, yes- I can use my eyes and tell that

hopping back and forth between this channel and Election discussion channel

I like that 'un

i like the history channel when its active

ahh yes that is a good one too. I love history 🙂

I usually lurk on that channel. I've limited world history knowledge, usually just Vietnamese stuffs

Well, doesn't the Buddhist equivalent of the Bible or Quran have passages that degrade women?

They can't attack Buddhism! It's Islamaphobia or something!

When will the left attack Islam

Not anytime soon, they have a "I scratch your back you scratch mine" relationship where Islam provides the votes in exchange for protection, privileges, and power

>_<

Funny how they won't attack Islam and Islam vehemently hates the gay community.

Not all of it obviously but you get what I mean.

I don't know much about Islam but I dunno man, kinda seems a bit mysogynistic to me
