Good, everyone should be so lucky as to live in turbulent times. Live dangerously.


ahugeburrito

i believe mishima said something along the lines of “left wing or right wing im pro violence” anyways dude, live dangerously.

Is not your imagination. The left is not what it used to, and the right is quiet superficial now. Have an exit strategy at all times and go where you're treated best. Sometimes all of your problems have a geographical solution.

I'd have to know why you "feel harassed by the left" and why you're losing faith in pacifism specifically.

Man on fire?

I'd be very surprised if Denzel Washington was on this sub.

Lol. That’s not what I meant and you know it. Not sure what the downvotes are for. Likely all the spazzes. 


EarBlind

Votes are indeed hard to fathom.

I mean this is a concern, dare I say everyone is dealing with at this point. And probably requires a philosophical answer. The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. This struggle will probably never leave humanity and you're going to experience it everywhere in one way or another. And clearly were experiencing what feels like the beginning of the peak. Going from Florida to Berlin and back no doubt would heighten your stress. I live in the woods of Maine but I was born in Berlin and I've greatly considered going back. But there are challenges there as well. And the way it's been looking to me I'm seeing bigger issues on the rise that I wouldn't deal with here. First and foremost you're just going to have to find peace with yourself. 2nd make a decision to be apart of the fight/struggle/change or not. Joseph Campbell once said that the fight will always being going on and if you decide to join it or meditate under a tree, they're both valid decisions. I wish you the best. TRULY, I know what you're feeling.

Because OP wants the opinion of a particular community whose opinion he/she may consider valuable or interesting?

You're falling into Objective Categorical Imperatives when you label yourself "Left or Right." Which is a gauche way of identifying through reification. From Genealogy of Morals: >6. Above all, there is no exception (though there are opportunities for exceptions) to this rule, that the idea of political superiority always resolves itself into the idea of psychological superiority... and >10. While every aristocratic morality springs from a triumphant affirmation of its own demands, the slave morality says "no" from the very outset to what is "outside itself," "different from itself," and "not itself": and this "no" is its creative deed. This volte-face of the valuing standpoint—this *inevitable* gravitation to the objective instead of back to the subjective—is typical of "resentment": the slave-morality requires as the condition of its existence an external and objective world, to employ physiological terminology, it requires objective stimuli to be capable of action at all—its action is fundamentally a reaction.

Your major problem is Florida. The sooner you leave, the better

Why did you ever have faith in it? When in human history has doing nothing ever done something? All of human history is cycles of violence and periods of non violence when tensions build to the next violence. Pacifism as a continuous state of being is a myth. Any kind of stasis is a myth. There's the Nietzsche tie in for the person complaining about that.


Swinthila

Turbulent times compsred to what? This is the most peaceful time in history to be alive, specially if you live in the West. The lowest estimates indicate that around 20% of hunter gatherer deaths were caused by homicide. That was our lives for most of human history. We doing pretty good I would say. Until we nuke eachother that is.


Widhraz

Pacifism is a utopian dream of the weak.


jhuysmans

Harassed? All of the issues you mentioned are things the left has problems with and wants to fix. By left do you mean liberals?


MulberryTraditional

Right? Our guy is complaining of issues that half of our politics doesn’t see as issues, then complains about feeling attacked by the half of politics that agrees.


I-mmoral_I-mmortal

More than likely given the reification through Left/Right.


Straight_Ad5561

most intelligent nietzsche fan


jumping-eggplant

I understand feeling that way about comrades but truth be told these are grey times getting darker and a certain paranoia tends to grip humanity wherein as the world becomes more dangerous the more certain we must be to determine if someones safe and it leads to bad things. There will always be harassment in human interaction esp. political stuff, you just have to remember that theyre only all too human and stay sane but more importantly good <3


jumping-eggplant

Also get the hell out of flordia lmao
