We have a set of criteria for what constitutes a cult, and scientology is unequivocally a cult. If there’s any debate, it’s from the church trying to deny the fact.
Likewise, we also have the scientific method that disproves the health claims regularly made by homeopathy practicioners.
People around you are entitled to peace and privacy.
Your rights end where other people’s begins.
He just sounds like a lunatic to me. I’m not even scared, just angry at this neverending circus when we need to be saving the planet.
And he’s just one of many new powerful leaders.
We’re all just tired of this system, you can see it around more and more every day.
They’re saying we collectively as Americans tolerate a certain amount of fascism instead of fighting all of it.
Canadian allies, we need your help here.
Help us boycott and sabotage these capitalistic grifters.
Kindness and compassion towards life is how we heal the planet.
This does not mean we have to endlessly suffer their intolerance, or never punish the wicked and the greedy.
It means that when a tragedy befalls a problematic group of people, we empathize first and then after the immediate situation is adequately addressed, we demand accountability from everyone responsible.
Moron.
A one million dollar donation to them it’s like you donating $1.
They are not hard up for money, it’s because they either only started for because someone advised them to in order to influence public opinion or because they are upset about something the charitable organization did or didn’t do.
That’s why you cannot count on the rich for anything. They are pedantic narcissists that demand constant validation, lest they use their money to destroy you.
Please don’t make the mistakes we did.
Do not believe the promises of your employers-- slack off and claw back your time and energy as much as you possibly can.
I hold nothing but compassion and solidarity for those who follow.
I want things to be easier for them, not as hard or harder than they were for us.
Story:
Just had a really painful conversation with my Boomer in-laws. They refuse to see acknowledge how bad things are for us and blame us for our failure to thrive like they got to, after receiving a six-figure cash injection back in the 80s from their parents, which is all gone now with their frivolous spending.
What country you even from, that you do not have your own racism problems to deal with?
Start at home.
We got plenty of our own problems, best to leave it to Japan to figure out their own.
Japanese people have a right to ask questions about issues they are concerned about.
Asking whether or not you have actively participated in crimes against humanity is a reasonable question to ask, and if you do not want to answer it, then you can just go elsewhere.
If you go into someone else’s house, you need to be respectful of their space.
Many Chinese and Indian tourists regularly trample the alpine flower fields at Mt. Rainier National Park for selfies or just as a shortcut when they get tired of walking on the hiking paths.
When confronted, instead of being apologetic, they get defensive and diminish the impact of their actions by demeaning American culture and spaces.
“It’s just some flowers. They’ll grow back!”
Yeah, maybe. But that will take eighty years and it may not even happen due to climate change.
These kind of behaviors are what sours locals against tourism, especially when it is consistent across a cultural tourist groups.
We all need to do better when visiting each other’s spaces, and that starts by owning our cultural shortfalls and poor behavior, with the goal of personally improving our own.
Ironically, I’ve never heard any complaints about Japanese tourists, as they often arrived well-educated about local customs and behave respectfully.
Ironic how you lack empathy and compassion for others, while demanding it from others when it comes to you and your problems.

It’s not 4/10.
Most Americans simply did not bother to vote. Trumpers are a minority, it’s just that their hatefulness is artificially amplified by Russian bots.
I am proletariat for sure.
Not bitter and unhappy enough to be part of the 1%.
I did write an entire college textbook about statistics, so yes! I know what an outlier is.
From a very kind place in my heart, I am going to encourage you to seek therapy because the points you are making are deeply rooted in emotions, and are highly subjective based on your thoughts-- that is, your points are not facts, but merely your own opinions.
No shame in therapy! I enjoy my own time in therapy and I found it very helpful in helping me challenge my own perspectives to a healthier place.
I once worked for a CPA who asked me what a balance sheet was for.
He was from a wealthy Tibetan family dynasty and clearly paid his way into the industry, but who knows why he would choose to do that because he clearly was completely over his head.
We used to call him Michael Scott sans charisma.
