Another beautiful day of still not being far right or a leftist

Imagine still being "political" after witnessing this many years of total autism from both sides.

Not meaning your either side doesn't mean you're a centrist, directionbrained retard.

>>513947732
You should have your shit caved in for still using keyed, faggot

>>513947203 (OP)
How do you feel about the protests?

translated: the DNC strategy with Newsom will be to present him as a centrist.

Yes it does. Pick one. Centrists are for intellectually lazies.

>>513951937
kek the memes write themselves

>>513951937
No, it doesn't, that's called an assertion. It's like saying if you don't like shit flavored ice cream and you don't like piss flavored ice cream you must like vomit flavored ice cream.

>>513947203 (OP)
Could you describe the near right for me? Can you give me an example of a person who is near right?

>>513947203 (OP)
I'm sure any thread mentioning left/right or red/blue are just shill bot threads. No one is actually that retarded

>>513952177
Shit take.
Centrists will always end up in one way or the other whether they like it or not. There's a reason why we have a political compass in todays dialectics within the political sphere. It's like trying to figure out if you're a theist or atheist, there really isn't an in-between it's either you are one or not, otherwise you're just being lazy and don't really care at all.

Shame you chose the even grosser 3rd option of Irishman.

>>513952959
It doesn't matter what God or God's you believe or don't believe in, you're either atheistic or theistic.

I think the word you were looking for is agnostic, or the theological equivalent of "FUCK OFF I DON"T CARE"

>>513953434
Buddhists are classified as atheistic even though they believe in gods

The left right paradigm is for midwits

>>513954049
so is blaming da jooz for everything

>>513954138
No, that's rather galaxy brained

>>513953688
No they don't. They believe in an eternal universe if anything, not a supernatural being or creator.

>>513954197
Buddhists absolutely believe in deities and ritualistically access them.

>>513952808
>midwit doesn't understand false dichotomies
Whatever, blue tie man good red tie man bad, brap.

>>513954191
No, it's equally stupid, you've fallen into yet another false dichotomy.

>>513954191
You'll grow out of it.

>>513954338
Which gods do they believe in?
Some Buddhists believe in an devas, which is just a term for explaining something like the earth, or the sky, or a celestial body within the universe that is in a long cycle of rebirth and death.
They are only described as "gods" because that's how it's translated to English.

They are most definitely atheist, in the sense they don't believe in a literal supernatural being or creator.

>>513954402
You're being dishonest with yourself.

>>513954807
They believe in devas and other celestial beings. Saying those aren't gods is just postmodern western bullshit.
They don't believe (or don't recognize) a main creator god that runs the show. So they're like Hindus who believe in all the lesser deities but doesn't recognize a supreme being like Vishnu, Shiva, Shakti, etc.

>>513954807
>You're being dishonest with yourself.
Not an argument.

>>513955193
Devas are celestial beings, 90% of Buddhists don't believe in eternal life or an eternal universe, so how can they believe in God's at all? The definition of a God is an eternal supernatural being, that doesn't die.

>>513955324
Yes it is. You ultimately have to choose a side in any situation in life. Why is so different for political means?

>>513952058
You can't say both sides of a spectrum and then claim the middle ground as if it's a different color or something unique.
Here's some food for thought: libertarians launder money and are quite literally scheming with shitcoins you dumb dumb.

>>513955811
>90% of Buddhists don't believe in eternal life or an eternal universe
Is Samsara not eternal?
>The definition of a God is an eternal supernatural being, that doesn't die
No it isn't
Plenty of European pagan gods die
Every Hindu god that is an incarnated being will die (i.e. all of them that exist within Maya), it just might take billions or trillions of years

>>513956437
They're still eternal beings, those pagen gods don't die they go to a higher level beyond the universe or are incarcerated into something else, the samsara isn't a God, it's a state of life cycles to demonstrate that life can become suffering even after death. But Buddhists believe that even the longest life cycles come to an end eventually.

>>513956862
From what I understand Samsara doesn't have a beginning or an end
You personally can escape it but it'll always be here
>But Buddhists believe that even the longest life cycles come to an end eventually.
So do Hindus
Although theoretically you could be reincarnated over and over again if you never achieve Moksha or Nirvana, but I'm pretty sure the assumption is that every being will eventually get to that point
Other than whatever personality they map onto Brahman, which is eternal

>>513957301
There is always a beginning and an end eventually in Buddhism, their entire world view is based around life is suffering, and you have to find a path to go beyond that type of thinking and not suffer, otherwise you could be stuck in a life cycle of suffering, the samsara is a concept to explain that.
This is why Buddhists who starve themselves or set themselves on fire are seen as making the ultimate sacrifice or paying the ultimate debt.

>>513959559
Okay, but that's you as an individual. Not existence as a whole.
Unless you're saying the whole thing is a metaphor, in which case that is also postmodern garbage.

>>513959719
It's all concepts to follow, that's why it's a religion, it has metaphors, concepts and moral teachings that people religiously follow, but it can still be a religion that's atheistic.

>>513960308
You're acting like Buddhism is just a philosophy and isn't full of tantric magic and shit.

>>513960829
Well, religion does sort of fall into philosophy doesn't it?

>>513962893
Philosophy is part of it but Buddhism isn't a secular materialistic thing that's just pretending to appeal to metaphysical stuff for the sake of metaphor
