Peaceful liberation, you have to be kidding.
I'd love you to talk with my still alive 90 years old Polish grandma who happened to directly experience all the bullshit when Stalin and Hitler were best friends forever and later the 50 years of post war "liberation" of Poland by the Soviets. I can ask her questions on your behalf if you want. Direct experience no propaganda books.
It's crazy how their propaganda extended so much brain rot.
Do you really think that beans, broccoli, lentils and all the vegetables, fruits, legumes.. are more expensive than meat? Don't forget that meat also has subsidies to lower the final price, so you are also paying in taxes this "cheap" meat.
Their marketing strategy isn't just blaming the consumer, it is to sell that their product is "sustainable and green", and people instead of not buying, they buy their "sustainable and green" product that shouldn't even exist in the first place. So no, they are not wasting money on marketing, they just changed the strategy.
Coming back to people, have you tried convince someone to change their preferred message app even knowing that belongs to an evil company and making the change being a literal 5 minute task?
In my experience people aren't even trying. Just blaming the same way companies and politicians do. If we really tried our best many things would have changed already. I believe that everything we have now is just a mirror of our collective greed, and we are doomed if we expect the other (companies and politicians) to change anything.
I follow Tibetan Buddhism, more specifically the Gelug tradition.
Okay so I checked your profile and found that from what you've said in other posts seems that you're already an experienced meditator. A bit weird now, can I ask what is the purpose of this post?
I mean it requires some effort and can be a very boring task that your mind could go crazy if there is not some proper motivation to convince the mind to sit instead of watching Netflix or to do whatever you like most.
Seculars would take another approach on why they meditate but since we are in the Buddhist sub, in my tradition the reason to meditate is to achieve a very high degree of mental stability which will be used for other more advanced things, at least in this context there is definitely a "why".
What I wanted to communicate from the start is that you either take it seriously or don't even try, because the only thing that it will do for you is waste your time.
Depends a lot on your motivation, the "why are you meditating" and how serious you are on your practice. And also how serious you want to learn.
Based on this your result will vary a lot. Nobody here can promise you anything without knowing you. I could tell you that it will make you "calmer" but if you go with some expectations and doing minimum effort it could make you actually more nervous, and be one of those who later tell everyone "I tried but it didn't work, it's just a scam" :')
Maybe better tell us why do you want to meditate?
Yes seems that it is true, Tuta then I think they support custom domains.
Posteo is cool as an alternative to Proton for mail, they are bunch of nice Germans going to the office on bike, you can't go evil on that.
Oh yes it is there, I didn't know that. Thank you!
That's actually a good idea. Well I think tankies are beyond reparation, they'll confidently think that my grandma is being paid by the CIA or something similar.. But just for having recorded her experience of how it was living under the USSR dictatorship could be worth.
