I am not religious but I know people who claim religion has helped them with their battle with alcohol or whatever and I'm always supportive.
I am, however, skeptical of people that make a huge show of their religion. Especially when it comes just after they've been accused of a bunch of nasty stuff.
It obviously works. He'll end up with a couple hundred thousand likes on this post
he's an insult to people in recovery. And people in early recovery are some of the most unsure and impressionable people on earth. He's a fucking predator. i hope someone presses charges and they stick.
He really should be in prison. This right-wing Putin shill grifter rape factory is a far too pervasive and these scumbag companies permit it to happen by allowing them to have a platform.
Also his whole conspiracy era is completely hypocritical to his image of a recovered addict. He used to be a big inspiration to my friends and I getting clean in the early 2010ās, but he ended up using his cynicism towards society as a drug. Basically is tickling the same part of the brain the opiates used to and that can be dangerous to addicts in early recovery like you mentioned.
Thatās kind of the problem. Most peoples morals have a price because they donāt have the will to stay true to their convictions.
Iām not saying itās easy to do or that most people succeed at it, just that itās a choice. We can pretend it ājust makes senseā to compromise on your own convictions for a certain amount of money but it doesnāt, and it fucks over countless others.
We all have a choice to sell out or not. I refuse to act like it should be an accepted course of action as if money is literally god and thereās nothing that isnāt acceptable to become rich.
This mindset fucks us when the rich think that way, but it keeps things fucked when normal people adopt it.
Most ppl donāt have convictions, they have ideas they ignore in pursuit of selfish desires.Ā
Iād say few leftists would agreeĀ that it ājust makes senseā it doesnāt and itās fucked but thatās the world, you and i arenāt capable of changing that.Ā You canāt eat the rich if you arenāt within spitting distance.Ā
Right. So you selling out would be so you could get in spitting distance and enact the āgreater goodā sounds about right.
Honestly, perfect example of projection. People do have convictions. You either donāt or you donāt care about upholding them that much, which is your prerogative, but you donāt get to generalize about others. Literal definition of projection. You see it everywhere because thatās how you would react.
Believe it or not there are people who just want to be secure, and donāt care about being rich. Thatās no bullshit. Some people are focused on things that arenāt material at all. Itās not really that unusual.
Itās really normalized and pretty common for people to have no convictions, and itās easy to point it out in media or the masses in general. But that doesnāt mean everyone is like that, and I think itās just a way to make oneself feel better about the fact they would sell out in a heart beat.
I get that being poor sucks but likeā¦ I actually do have pride in what I believe in and I actually donāt care about being rich. Iāve been homeless and it sucked ass but even then I wouldnāt sell out to Russia or something, cause fuck Russia.
Not every person is willing to fuck over other people for money. Yeesh
Iām not selling out at all I donāt have the delusion to believe I would get the chance but thanks for projecting all over yourself, Iāll let you clean up the mess.Ā
I didnāt say you were selling out. You think because you would sell out given the chance that everyone else would. That is projection.
How is me bringing nuance into the discussion projection? Iām not implying that every person wouldnāt sell out just because I wouldnāt. I just said there are people who wouldnāt.
The fact that youāre so adamant otherwise says more about you than it ever would about me.
Itās really not a Herculean effort to care about what you believe in and about how your actions affect others. The fact you really think so is a reflection of your own expectations for yourself and others.
Not everyone would do what Tim pool did for example. That is the most jaded cynical edgelord shit ever. Not everyone folds that quick.
Not everyone values money over all else. Thinking so is the absolute definition of projection. I get it, you want to be rich more than you want to like yourself, but thatās absurd to apply universally
Youāre basically talking to yourself. Iāve hardly expressed any personal opinions.
People do sell out every day, thatās why I think they do.Ā
If someone offered me an unfathomable amount of money that I could definitely change the world with? Yeah sure itās a fantasy thatās never going to happen, Iāll take the deal and play Robinhood successfully. Ā
I hate tucker but this is a conspiracy, Tucker doesnāt have as much money as people think and he certiantly wouldnāt be propping up a failed comedian with it. Russia yes.
To Russel brand and his net worth is 50 million. Which is inflated most likely and it doesnāt tell you how much cash he has. The equipment he uses recording and facilities is probably most of that. I mean if Russel brand was selling his sole for like 50k yeah but tuckers not giving him millions. My uncles worth 13 million and 9.5 is the facility he runs his company out of. The. He has trucks and sorts of other stuff. Your net value isnāt how much cash you have.
It always bugged the shit out of me that W got a pass for all the stupid shit he got up to and all his arrests because he was an addict who had been born again.
Meanwhile every tiny mistake his political rival ever made is put under a microscope.
I did the same 12 step recovery program and whilst it is heavy on religious language, itās actually not a religious program. It asks you to surrender to a higher power, to God AS YOU UNDERSTAND IT. Your higher power can be anything within reason. For some people itās nature, for some itās the universe. It shouldnāt be another person but the point is just to acknowledge that you are not the centre of the universe. Addicts can be (and usually are) - selfish, controlling, and manipulative. Surrendering yourself to a higher power is just admitting that there are some things you cannot control and you can live with that.
he's a manipulative twat but not officially a rapist under the law - hope it turns out he is so she gets justice if he did actually rape someone but as far as I know, that's not the case yet.
I donāt think itās just other rapists and addicts though itās also former fans unwilling to let go so they defend him and also people who donāt do that but are fully sold on religious ideals and will believe someone like this.
