N-Day is a game within another game and people are clearly enjoying themselves. One nation here (I’ve been in touch) has been involved with Fascist Solidarity Accord. Reminder: We can discuss anything in Philosophers but don’t want fascist nations resident here.

Destroyed a nation

Tisk tisk. Could you not have talked it out, like Putin or Netanyahu? Oh wait, you did talk it out like they do.
On that flat note, the truely disturbing trend is the cowardice of the world putting up with heads of state that break these internationally agreed upon rules of war based on humanitarian efforts, if such a thing could be had in war. Many "leaders" around the world are, no doubt, emboldened by the lack of consequences their horrible actions face.
If people on the bottom feel this way, then people on the top feel this way....... and they have means to carry out their atrocities.

The US providing arms to Israel and calling for a ceasefire, is like a firefighter using gasoline to stop a building from burning.

“No passion is stronger in the breast of a man than the desire to make others believe as he believes. Nothing so cuts at the root of his happiness and fills him with rage as the sense that another rates low what he prizes high.”

With Gaza in ruins and Lebanon under siege, what defence remains for Netanyahu’s actions?
Nesrine Malik in the Guardian, 30 September 2024
‘Existential threat’ is a thin excuse: Israel itself is pushing the Middle East to the brink
A common defence of Israel’s belligerence, both within the Palestinian territories and in the wider region, is the claim that it must act in this way because it is surrounded by countries that are trying to annihilate it. Like many of the arguments that attempt to justify Israel’s disproportionate response to 7 October, it is not only incorrect but also an inversion of reality. The events of the last few months and the assault on Lebanon over the past few days demonstrate that it is Israel which is a threat to its neighbours.
On last Monday alone, Israeli airstrikes killed 558 people in Lebanon – half the number who died in a whole month of war between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006. Among the dead were 50 children, as well as humanitarian workers, first aid responders and government employees. Lebanon’s prime minister, Najib Mikati, says a million people could soon be displaced. The strike that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday levelled six apartment blocks in Beirut. A Gaza in microcosm is quickly unfolding – thousands fleeing for safety, traumatised children, high casualties, an escalation where there is no limit on the civilian lives that can be sacrificed to achieve Israel’s goals.

I've been recently getting into philosophy and I am reading my first philosophical text that my friend gave me, Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. A classic of stoic literature I'm sure, and I'm wondering what your thoughts on it are.

About halfway down the page, refer to my rant here:
page=display_region_rmb/region=philosophers?start=5975
It was 2 pages ago on 240, what a coincidence. I am sure I had never taken on the Stoics here before. Yelling on the streets maybe, but not here.
Stoics do not exist anymore, not the original type.
When studying groups long passed, one must ask oneself why these types of people do not exist anymore. Was the life too challenging and spiritual for gathering devotees? Were they a group targeted by violence and submitted? Were they inherently and fatally flawed and doomed to their extinction?
...
That last one might have been about humanity, but no spoilers, if you know.
