So karma from last century?
Ooooh, I remember this game!
Yes, we average Americans are certainly guilty of the sins of previous generations.
Even first generation Americans, who are children of immigrants, like me, and had no choice in where they were born.
Naturally, we are de facto guilty of everything some rich assholes and our government’s policies have done to the world, and we must pay for it with our lives and livelihoods.
Oh, also, none of the contributions in the sciences, arts, and literature from normal Americans ever made life better for people around the world.
We are a cancer upon the planet and must be exterminated. It’s just “our karma”. We americans are bad and deserve all the bad things in life.
Am I doing it right?
Are you American bro? Like are you here right now while we are scrapping science for theology? You’re going to brag about some shit your great grandparents did while it gets flushed down the toilet. Get a grip lmao our nation is in an irreversible state of decline that we get to preside over. Buckle up ur gonna need to be tougher than this comment suggests.
Settle down, tough guy.
All that rabid American pride in the current climate makes me sick tho big chief. look in the mirror we don’t value human rights at home or abroad. Anyone can make a joke at americas expense. especially right now, but I still got my second amendment to protect my first. Would you like to know more? You seem to already know what I think but I’d happily elaborate why I made that comment. Your original assumption in your straw man left you looking pretty ridiculous so I’d love to see you try to pivot.
Who needs to pivot?
If we’re playing the game of false equivalencies, my sarcasm said everything that needed to be said about your blithe presumptions about “karma” for entire nation of people.
Also, “karma” doesn’t actually mean “comeuppance”, or “consequences”; it means (roughly) “work”.
Source: I have Northwestern Brahmin Indian blood, and was made to thoroughly study the Vedas, Puranas, Ramayan, Mahabharat (and the Bhagavad Gita contained within it).
Well that opens up like 3 layers of this onion you dropped on my plate. See I didn’t even have to straw man you! The stereotypes are working on overdrive for me. Holy shit. What can I even say that hasn’t been said at length. If you are American then why would you not use the American use of the word Karma? like popularized on the internet, commonly used for the last 20 or so years Karma. The one an average American would identify with and not the hindu translation. You sure hold a lot of US pride for someone who doesn’t understand US context on popular language? ‘instant karma’ there is no way you exist in America and don’t understand the context I was using.
NEXT
Citizens and residents of the United States don’t deserve to be exploited by foreign billionaires, to keep in context to the comment you originally responded to.
What you said is implies a justification for the exploitation of the “American poor” (OP’s words) due to or for the “karma for the last century” (your words). If we replace “karma”, with “comeuppance” or “consequences” to keep in line with the “American context”, it still sounds stupid.
So once again, to be clear without sarcasm, an entire nation of millions of people who trace their identities and heritages from every corner of the planet don’t deserve said exploitation from both domestic and foreign billionaires.
As an aside, the “American definition” of karma comes from an incorrect definition from the first British translation of the Bhagavad Gita in 1785 during their colonial occupation of India by Sir Charles Wilkins. I commented about it because of how stupid it sounded to me, given my background and understanding of its concept.
Is this where I say, “NEXT”?
and I literally said none of that I guess if you understood US china relations from 1980- present you would have maybe detected the comedic irony there. I bet ur really fun at parties.
im American. I think it’s funny that we are now being exploited by the Chinese elite that we made during the last 50 years while exploiting their populace for the cheap toys your mom clearly did not give you enough of. LOL
