It reminded me that if you browsed Reddit from Spain many of the ads were literal scams, like the typical fake photo of a celebrity or even the Spanish king recommending you to invest in a very fishy crypto platform.

Spanish users were complaining and reporting these ads for months but last time I checked these ads were still running.

The conclusion is that Reddit didn’t even check who is running the ads and with what purpose as long as they pay them, and of course they don’t give a crap if their users get scammed.

In my country, one of the most successful supermarkets is run by a fascist and he uses part of his fortune to finance our local fascist party, which is gaining strength every year by the way. Do we support fascism by buying in that supermarket? What if we suddenly started to boycott the supermarket to hell?

My point is that they earn profits by using their services and in today’s society money is power. And from where the CEO got his power? From the millions of people with the mindset of “if it benefits me I don’t care”.

Of course that’s not possible, the issue here is being aware and not caring and in some cases supporting it for convenience and selfishness.

That’s the logic of as long as it benefits ME I don’t care and I support them no matter what they do. This same logic has been applied to all the shitty things done in history like slavery, war and so forth, and the reason the world is the way it is.

I follow the Gelug School from Tibetan Buddhism. The practice is a lot of study actually and reflection and meditation of that. We study texts of authors like Arya Nagarjuna, Lama Tsongkhapa, Shantideva and so forth… The meditation is analytical but we also practice Shamatha (single pointed concentration) as a fundamental practice. And we also study psychology and logic.

The foundation is what is called the “Three Principal Aspects of the Path”, which I think it should be the same of other Mahayana schools: Renunciation, Bodhicitta and Wisdom of Emptiness. And all the meditations and study that comes from it

And after a solid foundation of these three is built then comes the practice of Tantra, which I can’t say too much because I haven’t reached that point yet.

So how many millions after the debunk we have to write down by leaders like Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and others?
