@Nestlé
First Nations communities still have to boil water and many are so traumatized that they only trust bottled water I’ve seen the effects of it.
Canada treats their indigenous peoples like the US and Australia, maybe worse. Think about that next time you reach for that Nestle’ bottle of water or any of their other products. Boycott!
All governments see human beings as exploitable resources parcel to the land they lay claim to by military force
This is the worst thing. The worst. Because they all know climate change is real and dangerous, but instead of doing something about it and save lives and prevent an ecocide, they’re making money off it. They’re churning out fake studies showing that coal is great and they’re using their media to brainwash morons into hating the green movement and they’re moving like sharks on anyone trying to do anything good, and meanwhile they fucking know we’re right and they’re fucking getting rich because of it.
Again: not a fan of the death penalty, but this should be considered high treason and people should be beheaded in public squares for this kind of bullshit.
Changing Your Life
If you’ve decided that your life needs a change, but you don’t know how to go about creating that change, then you might try meditation. If your life feels stagnant and unchanging, or if it feels like it is changing too quickly, meditation works for that. Meditation does not transform your world overnight, but it can give you little pockets of peace, everyday, from which positive changes can grow.
Meditation is not a lot different from watching television or sitting at the computer, only there is no television or computer. You don’t need any special skill, spiritual incline, or religious beliefs, you just need to take a few minutes everyday to devote yourself to inviting positive change.
To meditate, find a quiet space where you will not be interrupted. Put a few cushions on a carpeted floor, or sit on a firm chair. Breathe in deeply and breathe out slowly. Do that three of four times, then begin counting your breaths from one to ten.
When your thoughts carry you away from your breaths, return to your breath and start counting again at one.
Keep your eyes open, lightly focused and looking downward to an area about three feet in front of you. Place your hands in your lap. Rest your tongue on the front of the roof of your mouth. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Try not to squirm. If the sky opens up in front of you, return to your breath, and start counting again at one. Try meditating twice a day for 15-20 minutes at a time.
If this way doesn’t work for you, try your own way. Your life will change.

Lilith
Demonic goddess of love, beauty, unity, fertility, motherhood, sex, life, rebirth, mercy, battle, protection, justice, retribution, confidence, wisdom, inner-strength, outcasts, enlightenment, and the Evening Star
Some of her titles: Mother of All, Elit of the Deathless Light, Red Goddess, Red Queen, Dark Mother, Mother of Abominations, Babalon the Great, Witch Mother, Mistress of Night, The Fire-Hearted, Mother of Life, Queen of Hell, The Evening Star, Queen of the Solar and Lunar Spheres, and Bride of the First Light
Rulerships: No amount of words could do this goddess justice, for she is of a vast many things, and is very paradoxical. This is due to her being one of the elder deities, which allows her to be highly complex and with many rulerships. Overall, Lilith is the Queen Mother of Hell and she is Love itself. She is both the glory of dawn and the mystery of the night. She is the raging wild fire and the fire of warmth. Yet despite being connected to both light and darkness, Lilith is primarily the queen of night; the Lady whose dress is adorned with every star in the heavens. Lilith is also an embodiment of the Queen of Heaven (the formless, feminine counterpart to the Source - the supreme deity) and is one of the three main Mother-Goddesses of this planet, along with Tiamat (the creator of Earth’s lifeforms), and Gaia, the Earth.
History: In legend, Lilith has more than one mythical origin: the commonly known in which she was the first human who turned into a demon, and the other where she and Samael began as one being before splitting in two. The latter is the closest to the story she shared with me. She was granted to Lucifer by the Source as his Twinflame, perfect in every way as Lucifer is. She emerged from the light of the Queen of Heaven as her very manifestation, and all the gods who saw her were in awe. Lucifer and Lilith fell deeply in love and soon married, there is no love that can match theirs as it flows through all creation. She is a duplicate of his divine essence and shares in his unmatched beauty and wisdom. Due to this shared essence, Lilith has draconic energy just as Lucifer does.
Lilith was born as a goddess of unequaled beauty and splendour and rules alongside Lucifer in his Kingdom as his queen. Together, they have had many children whom are all beautiful and benevolent. Lilith does not actually harm children, this was a misconception due to the wind spirit Lilitu (part of the Mesopotamian “Lilin” group of Lilitu, Ardat Lili, and Lilu) being merged with the goddess Lamashtu (who also doesn’t kill children). Lilith adores them and has even looked after my own. She is the radiant Evening Star and is utterly perfect in every way, known throughout all history in many forms and names (as with all other deities).
Lilith lived with Lucifer in their kingdom for hundreds of millions of years before the Usurper, Jehovah, took over the Earth and cast aside the other gods. Jehovah was an aeonic deity (a creator god) who sought to claim the Earth and the Throne of the Universe as his own in order to gain more power. Lucifer began a rebellion against him with Lilith and many other gods, but all was in vain. After a horrible battle, their kingdom was destroyed by Jehovah, who then cast them into the nightmarish land of Hell. The gods who were banished to Hell had their essences change to become more dark and intense (which is why they developed dark wings and horns). Now as demons, Jehovah taught his human followers that these ancient gods were evil tempters and had them become known as their opposites (Lilith as infertility when she is life/motherhood, Lucifer as lies when he is truth, Mammon as greed when he is generosity, Beelzebub as gluttony when he is health, etc).
In Hell, Lucifer and Lilith are the High King and Queen of their kingdom where they live in a desert wasteland of eternal twilight. There are some oases and flower gardens here, surrounding the palace where they live. There are grotesque scenes of corrupt souls being tortured in the distance and also an isle where Lilith tortures all the people (especially the monks) who lusted after her. Despite what many believe about Lilith, she hates being sexualized and does not represent loveless lust. She wants sex that comes with love and respect, of being appreciated and treated like an equal. She despises people who lust after her and disrespect her like this, especially since she is married. She is also not a succubus nor the mother of the succubi race; this was said as an insult towards her; these entities are completely separate.
Element: As the Cosmic Mother, she is equally connected to all, but favours water and fire.
Colours: Red, wine red
Sacred Number: 7 (represents the divine Mother)
Appearance: She is a tall and slender woman with very long wavy black hair, black-red eyes (sometimes violet), fair skin, regal but gentle facial features, red lips, elegant black horns, and enormous black feathered wings with golden flecks. Lilith has often come to me bathed in light, with rose petals falling around her or sometimes swathed in shadow. She has a very classy and sensual taste in fashion and often wears wine red dresses with fancy golden jewelry. Her voice is very soothing and calm, but radiates power.
Visions of Lilith: In one vision, Lilith filled the entire horizon, merging dawn with dusk, her hair flowing like firestorm of black hues enriched with reddish glow…with her eyes closed; she slowly opens them, and creation becomes overflowing with her love, her smile is the most divine I’ve ever seen. Another was of her standing in an empty battlefield, skeletons and swords were strewn about in the darkness. She stood in the centre, naked, covered with blood, and with a red glow emanating from her body. She gave a bone-chilling smile and flames erupted around her.
Personality: Lilith is the Dark Mother of Starlight. She is deeply motherly, serene, protective, compassionate, wise, intelligent, mysterious, courageous, deeply curious, and golden-hearted. She is perfect in beauty- outside and in, and is full of incredible wonders. Lilith values truth, justice, grace, and free-will; no one can bring her down and she does her best to empower others as well. She is truly incredible and perfect, a radiant star of enlightenment and eternal love. Though she does indeed have a darker side, for during battles, she is terrifying and annihilating. She destroys all in her path and hates all corruption. She is normally gentle, but is sadistic towards those she hates and indulges in her blood-lust against them. Lilith can be very dominating in these circumstances, her fury could shake the very earth.
She is the Dark Mother and tends to view even monstrous-looking beings as beautiful. She is deeply nurturing yet is fully prepared to attack anyone who provokes her or her loved ones. Thus, red is her favoured colour since it represents many complex things that she corresponds with, such as love, eroticism, passion, fury, life, death. Lilith is the beautiful red rose with thorns, the fearsome mother, and the merciful queen.
As Queen, Lilith is greatly revered and praised in Hell, for she is viewed as the ultimate and most perfect goddess. She is highly intelligent and loves knowledge; she strives to know everything. Her mind is vast and incredibly beautiful, and she deeply enjoys bestowing her knowledge unto others. As she is the goddess of outcasts, she especially does not tolerate oppression of any kind. Lilith stands beside all people who have been wronged and demonized, this includes sex workers and all transgendered people as well. Those who feel otherwise will not be accepted by her and will be forced to confront their ignorance.
How to call her: Speak to Lilith as you would with any other entity, be polite and considerate. Contact her through telepathically speaking in your mind, directing the words to her (you can do this verbally, but if malicious spirits hear, they may pretend to be her). Allow yourself to be embraced by her presence, ask her to be near and speak to her of whatever you wish. Some common side-effects of her energy is the feeling of warmth, power, and/or arousal. She is very nurturing towards her devotees and is incredibly beautiful, often wrapping her large black wings around people to comfort them.
What she can do: Lilith is extremely powerful and can help with basically anything, but she does have some areas of expertise. She can help with self-love and confidence, gaining loving relationships of all kinds, revenge (justified), empowerment of all kinds, assertiveness, emotional healing, fertility issues, protection, witchcraft, removing fear, wisdom, shadow work, revolution, spiritual rebirth, seeking knowledge, enlightenment, and success in all areas of life.
Her enn (for meditation or devotion): Renich Viasa Avage Lillith Lirach.
Offerings:
Vent to her of your troubles and love her, for she values your love more than any material object.
Lilith also deeply values when her devotees gain new knowledge, wisdom, and when they undergo spiritual awakening/evolution. Additionally, pamper yourself, stand up for yourself and others, gain courage, and be a warrior in the face of adversity.
Statues of Lilith can be of either Aphrodite painted red or a female angel statue (as long as it’s not too Christian) and paint the wings black.

Lucifer / Luciferianism
i feel ashamed being 28 and still using this website as a release for my emotions
I really hate the false entitlement the internet gives people
More uplifting news during this outbreak ♥️
Y’all keep romanticizing the government taking all of our freedoms and instilling fear into the public WOW
Conflicting viewpoints on this but still interesting
Add on there that none of them will be liable for vaccine injuries , also... just like every vaccine we have bc they are fuckin poison
Pro tip: If a guy tells you he isn’t very political, he is conservative but has learned that won’t get him laid
#or he's never been affected by politics in his life#so probably a centrist
Nothing wrong with being centrist, nor does it mean politics doesn't affect you.
I'm Centrist because:
1. I agree with different sides on different topics.
2. I just don't trust politicians in general, regardless of affiliation.
Your complacency is the reason that people continue to be oppressed.
To quote Desmond Tutu: “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”
People continue to be oppressed bc they allow themselves too.... I don’t think Harriet Tubman would refer to herself as oppressed when she broke barriers that were made to oppress her. Claiming oppression and speaking it on our selves is why “we” continue to be oppressed
Go on my FB feed and talk to some people I went to hs with. This is them- to a tea. they don’t care, just fuck all liberals.
This really hurt my eyes trying to read so I’m writing the reddit post for others:
“You all don’t get it. I live in Trump country, in the Ozarks in southern Missouri, one of the last places where the KKK still has a relatively strong established presence. They don’t give a shit what he does. He’s just something to rally around and hate liberals, that’s it, period. He absolutely realizes that, and plays it up, they love it, he knows they love it, and the fact that people act like it’s anything other than that just proves that liberals are idiots, all the more reason for high fives all around.
“If you keep getting caught up in why do they not realize blah blah blah and how can they still back him after blah blah blah, you are not understanding what is the underlying motivating factor of his support. It’s fuck liberals, that’s pretty much it.
“Have you noticed he can do pretty much anything imaginable and they’ll explain some way that rationalizes it that makes zero logical sense? Because they’re not even keeping track of any logical narrative, it’s irrelevant, fuck liberals is the only relevant thing, trust me, I know first hand what I’m talking about. That’s why they just laugh at it all, because you all don’t even realize they really, truly, don’t give a fuck about whatever the conversation is about, it’s just a side mission story that doesn’t really matter anyways. That’s all just trivial details- the economy, health care, whatever. Fuck liberals.
“Look at the thing with not wearing the masks. I can tell you what that’s about. It’s about exposing fear. They’re playing chicken with nature and whoever flinches just moved down their internal pecking order, one step closer to being a liberal.
“You gotta understand the one core value that they hold above all others is hatred for weakness, because that’s what they believe strength is, hatred for weakness. And I mean passionate, sadistic hatred. And I’m not exaggerating. Believe me. Sadistic, passionate hatred, and that’s what proves they’re strong, their passionate hatred for weakness. Sometimes they lump in vulnerability, a compromised circumstance, or an overwhelming circumstance in there with weakness, too, because people tend to start humbling themselves when they’re in those circumstances and that’s an obvious sign of weakness.
“Kindness=weakness. Honesty=weakness. Compromise=weakness. They consider their very existence to be superior in every way to anyone who doesn’t hate weakness as much as they do. They consider liberals to be weak people who are inferior, almost a difference species, and the fact that liberals are so weak is why they have to unite in large numbers, which they find disgusting, but it’s that disgust that is a true expression of their natural superiority.
“Go ahead and try to have a logical, rational conversation with them though. Just keep in mind what I said here, and think about it.”
This summed up something I’ve been trying to say for years. Because, yes, the cruelty is the point for trump supporters but this is why.
This is why there is no bottom of the barrel and why so many of them will tell you he’s been such a successful president. They don’t care that he’s the reason they’re getting fucked in taxes or that his border wall is a failure, they don’t care that he hasn’t managed to really pass any landmark legislation or make good on the promises he made during his campaign. They don’t care because the ONLY measure they’re using to determine how successful he’s been and how much they support him is how much he pisses off or hurts liberals and the more he does it the better he looks to them, the more support they give him and the more bullshit he doubles down on. It’s a never-ending feedback loop and it’s ALL about the performance rather than his actions. It’s why we’ve devolved into whatever mess of a country you’d like to refer to the US in 2020 as with seemingly no rock bottom.
These are people who don’t understand politics as an entity that actually affects them, they can’t be reasoned with because they know being like that pisses off liberals. It’s honestly the most juvenile, immature tactic that elementary school-aged bullies use but they get a rise out of liberals repeatedly by doing it. It’s why so many of them comment on social media “trump 2020″ on posts that aren’t even about politics: because they know just posting that on a tasty video or something will piss off a bunch of liberals. We need to just stop responding to them when they say this type of shit, we need to ignore them, we need to stop giving them the outrage they want.
But, of course, we can’t do that because ignoring fascism is the same as and just as dangerous as enabling it.
Most of them don’t even pay attention to what he’s actually does and says; ask them about it–half the time, they don’t even know what you’re taking about. But as long as he’s pissing off liberals (and I’m using the colloquial US definition of “opposite of conservative” here), he’s doing everything they want. Conservativism in this country has devolved into a movement with no ideals, no principles, nothing at all beyond hurt the enemy at all cost.
best breakdown i’ve seen of trumps supporters.
The cruelty IS the point.
☝ Required reading for those still confounded by Trump supporters and their motivations.
Let’s also start replacing “liberals” with people of color and immigrants and gays and other minorities. Yes, pissing off “liberals” is the goal, but remember who they think those liberals are. You can’t separate their hated from racism and homophobia etc
Malcom x said best never trust white liberal man. A lot of these opinions are formed from watching censored news reports and reading misleading articles. I’ve hated trump for 3 years, being a black woman... this year I dived deep into research and becoming knowledgeable to the truth I see why Biden is a literal devil while trump is not all that bad.............. and finally understood when Malcom x told us to never trust a liberal white man aka Biden
