The world is as messed up as you allow it to be. Want chaos? It's out there. Boy, is it out there. Want peace? Same thing. Harder to get, but it's there. You just have to make your world into the world you want it to be. When you do that, everything that bothers you just fades away.

You think we have control to manifest our future circumstance just by will or a state of mind type deal? I don't mean to strawman ya, I'm just intrigued. 



Around the Network

It was one of the Town halls that chose to burn white and blue lights to show its support for the victims after 7 October. Since then it was known that Pro Hamas supporters were rallying around it and supporting Hamas attacks wearing keffiyeh's. Even in video's during the early fire you can see people wearing keffiyeh's around it, surprised? Ofcourse no proof they did it but damn that's a strange coincidence isn't it?

I get it that as an USA citizen you may hate Trump Or Vance but who you think is more right?  'Trump/Vance who blames this in Limoges on Muslims or the Democrats and leftist who say Teens/Tweens are causing the damages and fire in Limoges because students are fed up with the changes in Education?'

I can't feel sad for France, I don't even feel sad for my own Capital Brussels getting demolished because what else would you expect with a city that has one of the highest Muslim % populations in Europe. Trump called it a hellhole and based on facts everything atleast points to becoming a hellhole, people just hate Trump so much they don't want to say he has a point.

Importing Palestinians to Europe who cheered and partied for 9/11 will obviously will cause issues..

They did not give a fuck if you as an USA citizen died , if your parents or even your innocent children would have died, this never has been only about land but religion is a big factor aswell. Yeah F*ck Israel but if you want to see a real Genocide give Palestinians weapons and you will see a real Genocide.

The usual rioters are too blame, hijacking the largely peaceful protests (550,000 mobilized) to cause chaos and destruction. Looting stores and setting fires.

But sure quick blame anti genocide supporters and Muslims before any evidence the masked men were associated with either. Limoges has a notably lower Muslim and immigrant population than the rest of France, so why there if it was a Muslim rampage like you like to portray it. Actually Fox calls them "extremely violent, radical far-left groups". I don't seen any mention of Keffiyehs, pro Hamas supporters or Muslims.

The nationwide protests and rioting are entirely driven by domestic socioeconomic grievances, specifically the cost of living, public service cuts, and education changes. French officials and local prefects have attributed the arson strictly to "hooligans" and radical anti-government rioters, with zero connection made to Muslims, Palestinians, or Hamas.

Your theory about importing Palestinians makes no sense. France has a Palestinian community of about 25,000, spread over 69 million people, including part of 10,000 Syrian and Palestinian refugees following the conflict in Syria starting in 2011. Only 260 refugees have been allowed into France since the Gaza genocide started. Can it not simply be that French people are anti genocide? (And in the case of current nationwide protests, fed up with government policies / austerity measures in particular)

Plus bringing up 9/11, an event from 25 years ago orchestrated by a completely different group of people from a different part of the world, is a textbook Islamophobic trope used to collectively blame all Muslims for any unrelated tragedy that happens today.

We are seeing a extremely real genocide, live streamed. We are seeing what happens when you give the victims of a genocide unlimited weapons without any accountability. Killing out of fear of is exactly why the world is in such a bad place right now. And you're letting fear rule your emotions.

For example just yesterday:
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c962ydpmjm3zo
https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/west-bank-settlers-attack-palestinians-western-diplomats-belgium-says-2026-10-17/


Do you have any evidence Muslims are behind the protests in Brussels, as I can't find any. I see labor protests, student protests, anti austerity measures protests. These don't look like Muslims to me:



You asked who is more 'right,' but neither Trump nor Vance were anywhere near Limoges, they are simply using social media footage of a burning building to push their own domestic political agendas. Vance posted a clip of the fire on X to blame 'western liberals' and immigration, while Trump used the crisis to make a joke. Their statements aren't based on intelligence or findings from French investigators; they are just repeating standard, unverified talking points.

These protests are not coming from religion, they are driven by socioeconomic unrest felt by the entire population(s).

No, Trump hasn't made a point. He is a well-documented broken record on blaming negative events to Democrats, Muslims, and leftists regardless of the available evidence or established fact. For this reason alone, he's not a reliable source when blaming these groups on any unsubstantiated claim, it's just his MO. Even in cases where his blaming on Democrats, Muslims, or leftists ends up being accurate, it's not from a place of reasoning, but rather the broken clock being right twice a day effect.

Do I need to point out that a simple understanding of probability shows that you're being irrational if you're jumping to Trump as a source on this topic?



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Not by magical means, no. What happens out there is going to happen. But the control you have over how it bothers you is a real thing, and it's how monks and spirituals face even death with a smile.

Basically, when it comes to your mind, you have 100% autonomy. No one can control what goes on between your ears. Even if WW3 were to happen today, there's nothing stopping you from climbing the highest hill, sitting down, reading your favorite book, and being okay with the end. So if you want a more peaceful life, you must either search for the path toward complete surrender and acceptance of all things, or simply start analyzing your life from the outside in, and then when you discover the triggers, cut as many of them out as possible. Wake up to bad news on your phone? Stop reading the news on your phone. Find yourself gritting your teeth in frustration as you read idiotic Reddit comments, and then getting yourself into stupid word-battles over something that in hindsight, was totally pointless? Log out of Reddit and stop going there. It seems extreme, but it isn't, not really. I mean, not that long ago, none of us had access to the internet. Did we freak out constantly? We were bored? No. We were just fine. And in most cases, we were 100% happier than we are now.

You just have to want to be a happier person. Really want it. And then all it takes is stepping back and being honest with yourself. Where is my responsibly in my own pathology? What can I do to change it? That sort of thing. And then when you get the answers, you start walking toward the future you want and make it your own.

I just looked up at the stars and everything you said is true. Perspective changes. We're on a rock falling through space but yeah, we do get to decide.
