Pretending it is anything more than a way to order your thoughts and slow your heart rate; which reading and journaling both do with about the same scientifically measured effectiveness, is the woowoo part.

It’s not a tie to a spiritual world, or doesn’t raise nor lower your vibration or frequency or whatever nonsense is pushed by which ever nonsense ‘sect’ decides to use it to back their nonsense.

It’s useful in creating a relaxed environment for your body to not overreact and start it’s maintenance functions. And can be useful as a practice to control your thoughts into more useful patterns.

Their admins are literally genocidal zionists who advocate for the eradication of brown people.

The country with the fascist extermination camps that accept anyone for money without any possible chance of appeal extends their laws to start exterminating children?

Who could have possibly seen this coming?

I agree, the people in charge of your instance, who happen to full-throatedly support the genocide of the palestinian people, do not however agree. That is something for your to wrestle with, and maybe choose a better instance should you wish to both advocate for or participate in acts prohibited to be discussed by lemmy.world’s rules.

‘Xenophobic’ my guy a culture of ignorance deserves to be criticized.

According to lemmy.world’s rules, as written by the Zionists in charge; advocating for any sort of violence would be against the rules. You have to go to those instances to see both proof of action plus advocating of further action.

My dude half the west believes there’s such a thing as a ‘uyghur genocide,’ half believe Israel has ever been a victim, and most still believe China is somehow a dictatorship despite that being an ancient CIA psyop.

There is no evidence a single person in the west has ever been taught critical thought, how to research claims, or that their government can lie through third parties that they’ve paid.

The real history behind Feng Shui is literally just how to not be as vulnerable to assassins and stubbed toes. The ‘woowoo’ stuff was added by whites in the US in the 1970s (like Yoga, meditation, and all other nonsense.

What could China do that the US dropping more bombs than were dropped during the entirety of WWII didn’t do?

What… what do you think modern Chinese history is? While it’s widely regarded as over, no peace treaty was ever signed. And while the KMT dictatorship lost power across the Taiwan islands in 1981, the resulting pseudo-government that formed afterwards also failed to introduce any cessation of hostilities. Hell right up until 1973 the KMT still wanted to invade the mainland again.

This war, like the Korean war, never ended. There was no formal end to either war, simply a continued pause in the hostilities. Worse, for your position, there is no active ceasefire agreement between the PRC and the pseudo-government on the island. The sole reason hostilities stopped in 1965 was because the US dedicated a carrier group to the area (and all the CIA-backed KMT soldiers that sheltered in Burma were finally routed and slowed their terror attacks down to focus on running drugs). At this point the PRC has dedicated itself to a peaceful unification, which has been the PRC’s position since 1965 when it was clear the few thousand remaining KMT soldiers could do no harm to mainland Chinese citizens and the need to be ever ready for war was taking far too many resources.

Give me one scholarly source that calls it a genocide

‘hey maybe an active civil war isn’t an example of imperialism’

“HURR DURR NO TRUE SCOTSMANNN”

…There’s video. You can just check and see.

Which western genocide are you confusing with the liberation of Tibet during its civil war?

Why do you think it is bad for the Sami to use the Dutch language? Why is it bad for the Cherokee to use English? Why is it bad for the Zulu to use Afrikaans?

East Turkestan has never existed in history, and no natives on Xinjiang have ever expressed a desire for that to be brought into existence. Turkish Terrorists have though. Weird how Uyghurs in Turkey live a worse life in all respects than those in Xinjiang now though…

Also No. They didn’t occupy Tibet, they freed it. But hey if you want to take the side of a child sex slave owning pedophile like the Dalai Lama…

There is no ‘Taiwanese national identity.’ The KMT eradicated what was left of the native Taiwanese population (to be fair that genocide was started by Japan, like nearly all genocides in East Asia). There are no native ‘taiwanese’ left, just primarily han chinese that invaded, eradicated the native population during a civil war, and declared themselves the last bastion of China.

Because they don’t teach critical thinking in any part of the western world. Capitalism abhors critical thinking in the general populace and requires an unintelligent, unquestioning populace to continue to exist.

Critical analysis is like critical thought; absent from liberals and anarchists.

It’s weird when you read this headline without the propaganda filter; it should read 'Texas Leads the Nation in Major Handouts to Corporations for the 14th Year"

Texas still has one of the lowest median wages in the nation and the lowest median wage per capita.
