Oh and boredom. Get bored and don't do anything, anything at all, from time to time. Except listen.

If I wanted to disarm you. A good way to go about it might be for me to convince you I know something you can't.
Just a thought.

@ThinPicking I kinda get what you're saying? Most people outsource their thinking to "experts" that cultivate a faux mystique around themselves and attempt to personify abstractions like science and religion. Although me personally, if someone was sitting on crazy knowledge and wouldn't share it with me, I'd be indignant, not disarmed.

@onliest USA of course had to enter the war, it was the act of a vulture, eating what's left and taking advantage of the weakness derived from the war.
And bro I am from Spain, and I tell you Franco started a civil war, people was being killed for their beliefs. Maybe you were a simple shepherd living in a small town and next day you were shot in front of a wall because you were affiliated to the communist party, that back then was the only thing protecting the rights of the working class. You had to kill your brother, your uncle, your neighbour... Franco created all that hatred, and don't be fooled by the Right VS Left never ending fight, Franco attacked because Spain was giving more and more independence to the historic nations that form Iberia, like Catalunya, Basque Country or Galicia. This was the fear of Franco and nowadays is the fear of the Spanish state, it has always been, these nations are just kept in a colonial economical state to feed the bottomless hole that Madrid is, and that Franco created. He is often seen as the saviour of Spain and Christianity, but it's just propaganda, he destroyed cultures, supressed languages, killed innocent people (civilians not soldiers), he basically destroyed Spain. But he has a lot of good propaganda for being ultra catholic, Spain was like that before he took power, he didn't invent anything. My grandma still talks about life those days.. if these proto fascist Twitter accounts that love Franco and just get totally manipulated by propaganda could hear my grandma they would shit themselves in shame bro, Franco dictatorship was the worst that could happen to Spain, and we are still paying it nowadays in a democracy created by him and the king to keep stealing and growing their wealth out of the people of this country, Italy and Portugal made revolutions against fascist dictatorships and nowadays are better countries, Spain's fate has been worse.

What about the whole empathy = weakness thing
so many times people tell us just take what you want no remorse for others
you can reach psychopathic levels of confidence by eating certain things but I mean whats the point? like really? where does that get any of us?
people say it's just human nature but I remember reading about how primitive humans actually cared for the sick, theres been fossils found where skeletons with broken legs have been found with rotten teeth and date seeds around the skeleton because the members of the tribe had been feeding the disabled person dates all the time. we really are being lied to.
people on antidepressants freak me out?? has anyone else noticed this? like it actually makes me scared the lack of empathy... wtf

That is the nature of a civil war.
The Reds were murdering priests long before Franco began his uprising. They raped nuns before they killed them. I stand by my comment that if the communists won it would've been 1000% worse.
Franco had horrible diplomatic relationships after WWII which definitely hurt Spain economically.

What about symbolic dreams... What are those about. Useful if we have them or no?
Or is it what our mind makes up. But I don't think so. Why tf are we being told our dreams don't have meaning? Also where the hell do our dreams actually come from?

@onliest it's not so easy. When communism is involved it's easy to choose sides quickly. Church is Spain was collaborating with fascists groups as Falange for example, back then society was really radicalised in both ends. Do you think the fascist didn't rape women and kill children??
The dictatorship was the end of any hope for a healthy and independent Spain, not necessarily ruled by communism. Racism between regions was created, destruction of other languages and cultures, historical catholical kingdoms also destroyed because you can only be "Spanish". Destruction of monuments, libraries etc. Terror to speak your mind, freedom was only given to rich people that of course supported Franco in order to keep their wealth. This is the base of our current democracy, the rich families that ruled with Franco are the ones that have Spain on strings, and no right or left party will touch them, because these are Franco's death bed wishes. He also stole cultural heritage like Castles, art, sculptures, land, everything. Like i told you, when the communist are the enemy is so easy to point out the evil side right?? I wouldn't be so brave saying that Franco was the less worse option, I know that my nation which is Galicia would be free and independent nowadays if Franco didn't rule. I know that my grandparents wouldn't have to start working at 9 years old instead of learning how to read (they were born after the war), I know that, indeed, Spain would be a better country letting go of nations and kingdoms that doesn't belong to Spain.
I hope you understand, for foreigners to fully understand the depth of Iberia, I would have to write here the length of 4 bibles. It's not something unique in Europea as so many modern countries are formed with other countries without state. And the damage that the dictatorship caused here, I assure you you can't even get a grasp of it. It could be a great country, yes, but so many dreams were destroyed when the war started. And as i told you the Church was a fascist tool so the attacks on churches were seen as normal by comms. Franco bombed Guernika full of civilians to show off muscle... That's also horrible like the comms. The real way out of that madness was slowly giving privileges to these nations without state and forming the country based on the necessities of each region, because that Spanish national pride is artificial and made up to create the idea of a unified country. In Galicia a golden generation of intelectuals defended from many points of view, cultural, artistical, historical, traditional, linguistical.. the independence of Galicia, they were catholic and really religious, some more right handed others left handed, but the link between them was the love for Galicia and the hope to see the nation running free from all the miseries that the Spanish government was causing (yes, long before the dictatorship). Truth is that republics and dictatorships always treated these nations like shit, because thats what it matters on Spanish politics, keeping the centralized system with the center of the black hole in Madrid, no right no left, they lost Cuba and they don't want to lose the last colonies left, because without them Spain wouldn't be Spain.
