@mrtyb2121 @Justin_Chains @tailopez I agree that both can be blessings and curses. I just wanted to share that both of those conditions don’t mean that you inherently see the world through envious eyes, like the responder stated, in response to the Dostoyevsky quote.

@AshitakaInst @Justin_Chains @tailopez i hear it but just because money and looks can end up being negative, it doesn’t make them inherently bad things. i would say that how people are influenced by them could be bad but that’s down to the individual. in of themselves, they objectively increase one’s quality of life

As Dostoevsky said, a man with no money and a woman without physical beauty both see the world without delusions.

@New_Common_Law @Justin_Chains @tailopez Exactly. My father, for example, never cared about riches. He wanted job that ended at 5, so that he could spend the rest of the day with his family. He never harbored any resentment for those who chose giving their life to amassing wealth.

@AshitakaInst @Justin_Chains @tailopez Resentment is merely a bias. It clouds perception. But plenty of poorer & less attractive people aren't all that resentful. And ultimately it's no real match for a dire shortage of authentic experiences, which is what Dostoyevsky was referring to.

@mrtyb2121 @Justin_Chains @tailopez Incorrect, only the most sane would say no. They know those are ultimately traps. Jesus and Buddha have warned about this. That’s why monks take vows of poverty, because all form of earthly riches fade.

@AshitakaInst @Justin_Chains @tailopez well maybe not enough to put in the effort but only psychos would say no to being rich and goodlooking, regardless of anything else

@Justin_Chains @tailopez Nope, its the reverse. The highest quality person doesn’t care about amassing riches or conventional beauty standards. Those are traps for people to fall into. Jesus, Buddha, many of the highest quality people have warned against this.

@AshitakaInst @tailopez You are right, the lowest quality people don’t care about either one.

@Justin_Chains @tailopez Incorrect, not everyone wants to be rich and conventionally beautiful.

@tailopez On the contrary, they both see the world through eyes of envy, which can be its own poison.

@TinyRoommates @Cinemanarchism @c2r4u2s4t1y2 @coldxman @ZaidJilani The denial is strong. Have a good one, my friend. I believe I’m done here.

@AshitakaInst @Cinemanarchism @c2r4u2s4t1y2 @coldxman @ZaidJilani As you can see in his reply, his ability to reason is pitiful.

This might be my last reply. But I just want to reaffirm, there is no revisionism here. From the beginning, my contention was that the framing of the original post was dishonest, and it leads people to false assumptions because of the missing context. Again, the Gaza Humanitarian Fund has invited multiple people from the pro-Israel crowd to Gaza. You clamped that pro-Israel people don’t go there. That’s false.

1. Now you’re just doing revisionism. Anyone can go read what was said. All you have is Coleman’s word. If you cannot admit that, you’re not being honest. 2 The issue isn’t on which platform it was posted, it’s the actual video in question, which I shared two replies to; mine and Alex’s.

@TinyRoommates @Cinemanarchism @c2r4u2s4t1y2 @coldxman @ZaidJilani I always try to engage and never let the vitriol take over. 😂 always try to be kind 🙏🏽

@AshitakaInst @Cinemanarchism @c2r4u2s4t1y2 @coldxman @ZaidJilani You are a kind person to be working with someone so mentally challenged.

@Cinemanarchism @TinyRoommates @c2r4u2s4t1y2 @coldxman @ZaidJilani *named Not unnamed.

1. The post was not about him having been to Palestine. The post was leaving the crucial context which would have insinuated that he was refusing to go there for purely ideological reasons. But once we found out the context of the timing, it makes sense of why he would not be able to add that extra trip. There is nothing unreasonable about that deduction. 2. You asked me to share a post of his being in Gaza. So I shared a post. Why does it matter if it was posted on TikTok or X or a news site? It was a post from the individual unnamed. Again, multiple people in the pro-Israel crowd have gone to Palestine. You falsely claimed that they haven’t.

Again, you were wrong about two things. 1. You were wrong about the original post, framing Coleman as not going to Palestine for ideological reasons. 2. You were wrong about people in the pro-Israel crowd not visiting Gaza. The Gaza Humanitarian Fund invited many pro-Israel people to go into Gaza, and they did. tiktok.com/t/ZTkLhSBxq/

@AshitakaInst @TinyRoommates @c2r4u2s4t1y2 @coldxman @ZaidJilani You mean the black gay influencer who argued that Israel were the good guys because they were holding on to all the food and aid that was meant to be distributed to the Palestinians? This guy? Please show me him going to Gaza. I want to see his groundbreaking journalism.

@Cinemanarchism @TinyRoommates @c2r4u2s4t1y2 @coldxman @ZaidJilani It’s untrue that pro-Israel influencers haven’t gone into Gaza. Xaviaer DuRousseau is just one example. So, it’s false to frame Coleman didn’t go there for purely ideological reasons, and false to claim that pro-Israel influencers haven’t been to Palestine.

So did Noam, and yet they couldn’t make it happen. Interesting how on these Israeli funded trips to the region, the Zionists are the ones who don’t ever have the time to add an extra couple days to their trip despite having a month+ of notice, and despite claiming they want to find as much information as possible to arrive at the truth.

@Cinemanarchism @TinyRoommates @c2r4u2s4t1y2 @coldxman @ZaidJilani Then what reason do you have to believe he is lying? He explained why he couldn’t add the extra leg of the trip, and it makes perfect sense. And he even shared interest in going on a new trip.

@AshitakaInst @TinyRoommates @c2r4u2s4t1y2 @coldxman @ZaidJilani You don’t speak for me.

@Cinemanarchism @TinyRoommates @c2r4u2s4t1y2 @coldxman @ZaidJilani We have no reason to believe that Coleman is lying. Especially when he frequently has high profile guests on his podcast, which makes quick schedule changes a difficulty.

@AshitakaInst @TinyRoommates @c2r4u2s4t1y2 @coldxman @ZaidJilani Could Coleman be lying to the public by claiming he just couldn’t fit it into his schedule during the trip?

@Cinemanarchism @TinyRoommates @c2r4u2s4t1y2 @coldxman @ZaidJilani No, Zaid insinuated that Coleman refused the added trip because of ideological reasons. That’s a false way to frame it. He’s lying to the public by omitting facts that shape the narrative in order to insinuate a false assumption in the mind of the audience.

@AshitakaInst @TinyRoommates @c2r4u2s4t1y2 @coldxman @ZaidJilani That’s a weird way to say Zaid is right.

@Cinemanarchism @TinyRoommates @c2r4u2s4t1y2 @coldxman @ZaidJilani The original poster insinuated that Coleman refused the added trip because of ideological reasons. That’s a false way to frame it. He’s lying to the public by omitting facts that shape the narrative in order to insinuate a false assumption in the mind of the audience.

@Cinemanarchism @TinyRoommates @c2r4u2s4t1y2 @coldxman @ZaidJilani I wonder if you understand that 5 weeks to an influencer/podcaster like Coleman is different for 5 weeks for a normal person. He has high profile figures that have blocked interview time with him months in advance, so it’s not as easy as you make it seem.

@AfrSelf68905 @TeriqPhillips No, you don’t quit porn so that you can have real sex 😂 you quit porn because it’s destroying you, your mind, and your future.

@TeriqPhillips If you quit porn but you are still not getting actual sex, then you didn’t accomplish jack.

Addicted to porn? I'm 1709 days clean. Here's everything you need to know:

@Wholetruth333 @Truth_matters20 You are the one who missed the point, we can hide and we can show our good deeds. The original post said you can’t show your good deeds to the world, Jesus says you can. But the glory must be for God, not for yourself.

@AshitakaInst @Truth_matters20 You miss the point. Jesus also said this:

Lent is an extra-biblical tradition, by the way.

@Truth_matters20 Incorrect. Jesus prayed in public and allowed us to show our good deeds to the world.

There is nothing wrong with fasting and self-denial, but it should be done in humility and secret, as Jesus said (Matthew 6:16-18). It also shouldn't be viewed sacramentally. God's grace cannot be earned (Eph. 2:8-9).
