-------------------- Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

Asante, I am severely prejudiced against certain ethnic and/or religious groups. Im not denying this at all
This doesnt mean I would like them all to be transported to the gas-chambers.
Frankly speaking I dont really care about people outside my sphere of family and friends. And outside of traveling abroad I prefer to interact with people I can best relate too. We all have our own struggles

Quite a lot of leftwing shitheads though, and as soon as you dont agree with them you are either a Fascist or a Nazi

I'm not saying that you're a Nazi, I'm saying that if you are, as you call it, severely prejudiced against certain ethnic and/or religious groups. you are less likely to notice the racist shitheads and very many more people will be considered "leftwing shitheads" than from where I'm standing, politically.
If you go to Paris, get on top of the Eiffel Tower you can look around and around over the Paris area and say: "where's the fucking Eiffel Tower?!"
In the 1940s, many members of the Nazi party were utterly shocked what happened in the camps. Many had been either utterly ignorant or distracting themselves from the truth during the war. They knew the Jews were going nowhere nice, but many held the opinion of work camps with a sustainable standard of living, instead of 600 calories of soup and bread and a striped pajama in the Polish winter. Even villagers right next to the camps often had no idea just how utterly horrid it was.

I see posts from long time members that are maybe more "right" in nature.
I dont think I have seen people outright claiming white supremacy. That would probably be an offense punished with a ban too
Maybe my view is somewhat skewed by the discussion on Jezz Bezos' wealth

Both Democrats and Republicans are more rightwing than the Nazi party was so thats not surprising.

We discussed it a lot in Tantric Buddhism studies, my professor was a big sci-fi fan  it was used to "explain" enlightenment and the seemingly non-enlightened actions of some masters Marpa Lotsāwa was known for drunkeness and fighting since his childhood but also for continuing to drink heavily and beat some of his disciples and potentially wife and children after becoming a recognized enlightened master and single-handedly carrying a teaching lineage from India to Tibet
like psychedelics, enlightenment does not change conventional personality
This is something that I have continually run up against in spiritual goups. What I don't get is the apologism for toxicity enacted by "the (supposedly) enlightened". I spent a lot of time on the edges of a certain Zen lineage about 10 years ago - never went full in, but some of the members of the local Zendo that I was active at were ordained. Several of them had some pretty questionable ideas and practices in their personal lives. My ex-husband, who turned out to have made up his ordination credentials (before I met him... he was an abusive gas-lighter and it turned out to be this whole thing and was a flash-in-the-pan controversy in the wider Zen community at the time), was waaaaay in to citing Chogyam Trungpa's abusive behavior as an explanation for his own 'crazy wisdom'... it was disgusting. I have spent a lot of time since then questioning the way these eastern spiritual practices have morphed in the west... when so many of the teachers who came to import it here and gather these large followings to disseminate them kinda went crazy on power along the way. Is it the relative lack of constraints here as opposed to the more regimented monastic communities that they came from? I dunno. The same thing has happened in yoga. Over the last 10 years this same cycle of controversy surrounding abusive practices (particularly with sex and money) continues to play out over and over again with well known leaders in both communities.
At any rate, to bring it back to the question of the original post, I do tend to agree that sustained psychological work (and willingness to see one's inherent prejudices and blind-spots) is necessary to bring about lasting change in one's point of view. It is one thing to have a revelatory moment (or trip), and sometimes there are the rare cases where personality change is immediate and sustained (and that includes negative as well as positive personality change), but introspection -- and enacting changes in one's thought and actions based on that introspection -- should be a lasting effort.

You might be happy to know I’ve spent years attempting to separate the wheat from the chaff regarding Zen schools and their major existing lineages. If you ever get deeply back into that life and are looking for a real deal sangha with a genuinely extraordinarily ordinary teacher whose not got the stink of enlightenment, and who makes Zero excuses for immoral behavior, and lived/lives and walks the talk - let me know over PM .
You may see me joke around and goof off a lot in the Pub, but that’s just an online persona, offline I generally do not act or live so heedlessly. Take care!

He did not originally post it as a movie quote, he edited it after asante deleted his post
The first time may have been uninentional but i specifically PMd him asking to delete snd instead he just reframed it as a quote even after asante deleted

Even if it were an innocent mistake initially, re-editing a moderated post to re-include the same information about the person is utterly prohibited, especially since in reactuions it was already established that, quote or no quote, it was a factual namedrop.
Contact the staffer or write a support ticket "a terrible mistake was made" but do NOT repeat the infraction after having been moderated for it because thats defiance and that gets you tazed or, in this case, have a 16 day ban turn into a 100.
