it unnerves me a deep part of me when people “pray for peace” without having understood the necessities for war

the emperor is he who has the deadliest force. no questions. questions of benevolence come second kindness is not nothing without the power to effect. it is something. it is dignified but it is not effective https://t.co/cReIjhx9ta

i know mentally, they’re talking about aggressive versus defensive wars, non-initiation, and so on i know energetically, they’re maybe touched simply by the reality of the suffering of war

but do the “love and prayers” move them at all to learn what it actually takes to defend a people? to defend the earth? https://t.co/VUe8T7CDdO

“love and prayers” don’t materially change the conditions of the oppressed, ideally “love and prayers” coordinate you to take action to materially change the conditions of the oppressed

i’m woo enough. i think intentions directly affect the fabric of the universe and all that. but also, intentions are literally also intended to be intentions for actions; love is a feeling, and feelings are meant to guide action; prayer is a call in every sense of the word

my original tweet read "it unnerves me when white people pray for peace without having ..." and i meant westerners talking about peace elsewhere this tweet kind of explains the dissonance i was feeling https://t.co/lAS68SM9yU

you really can't understand "the Gaza war" without understanding simulacra levels because it's actually two entirely separate conflicts that have ZERO overlap in terms of the level of reality abstraction they operate at. this is really quite a thing to behold https://t.co/65VuxGMQ9o https://t.co/dtft3Xkj8l

@AskYatharth It's useful imo to polarize inaction bias spaces with get shit done energy.
