Mainstream yokels for the most part still unconsciously nod and accept that Rothko and Pollock are masters, for example. They don't like the art, no one really does; they may tell others they do to keep appearances, and the really sad ones search for some way of coming to like them, but no one does. Most people hear about the banana being taped to a wall and say
>that's stupid but funny, haha
without ever scrutinizing the details of who made it, who bought it, why, how much, who brokered it, what are their past records, what is their genealogical relationship, and oh! would you look at that, they happen to be part of the British peerage. Funny, huh?
>Wall Street made it obvious in fucking 1987
First of all, this is a movie. Films are all about hypnotism at this point. Normal people don't actually pay any attention, they just see pretty actors and actresses saying words and get swept up in emotions. That scene doesn't have a soundtrack to lead you on, at least. But most people won't hear
>60k, sell it for 600k
and ever consider money-laundering, as in hiding the profits of dirty, illegal money from drugs, sex trafficking, embezzlement, coups, etc. Most people have no clue that the US government (and most world governments) are synonymous, one and the same with the Mafia, with pirates, with the Vikings, with Phoenicians, with the Sea People, etc. It's all the same plundering, being done by CIA, highwaymen, (((red)))beard, you name it. No one knows. This movie is the tip of the iceberg and makes people think
>wall street is bad and these crooks must be stopped!
How? How do you stop them?
>regulation and government intervention!
You mean the same government that is run by Wall Street's cousins that have been intermarrying for hundreds of generations? Uh huh.

I'm trying to learn more about Kali, as I find her to be a very stable archetypal representation of forces at play in the universe.
Does anyone have knowledge on this subject?
I'm specifically looking to understand more about her enemies, what sort of things she attacks, when she would show up sort of thing.

So far I've come across some ideas, like those whom perpetuate fruitless dogma.
Though I would like to read more about her mythology, and any other ideas about when she would show up on the scene.

Thanks!

HEY, YOU! You are alive. What are you feeling? In the deepest core, honestly, in your most naked mind? Give it to me, or else!
>Aw but I don't wanna say this shit on an anonymous website
Say it anyway. I wanna fuck my sister, really hard.

Although the Rubiat did quite nicely, the fact you seem to overlook it it says perhaps you're a bit full of yourself and should find your poo street.

Find me the Slave revolts in ancient Egypt, Greece and China that were strong enough to warp the culture of the civilization itself. Hell even in Rome, with it's massively complex history, slave and serf revolts happened dozens of times and it didn't change shit until the collapse which was brought about by (SHITTY LEADERSHIP) being unable to manage all the chaos.

You are wrong to say "it's tried and failed" when it clearly shows to be successful when executed properly and even half assed hundreds of times.

There is no successful Democracy or True democracy, Democracy is the same thing as Marxism, whatever these foul ideologies are to be called is irrelevant, they undermine hierarchy and use the weight of lesser and nastier folks to inhibit the existence of higher folks.

Stop trying to patch the veil with your own contrived bullshit when Tradition and Religion has already busted it open for all to see.

This is simply the Kali Yuga, the age of weakest consciousness. Just because at this rate nothing can save us doesn't mean that the lessons of the past become irrelevant.

How do I start with India and it's mythology and religion?

This may come as a shock, but there are more than two religions in the world.

I've got this trans (FtM) friend that is one of the most beautiful people I know. His androgynous look is simply outworldly and I've had this crush on him since I met him. He will start to take testosterone soon and remove breast tissue.
I think he'll be happier, but damn, what an aesthetic loss...

I like depictions of Kali

>What is based about materialism
Materialism as understood by Spinoza and the Indians is not the dominant mindset today.
>>11193055
Just read the Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita. They are both quite short but very dense, like Spinoza's Ethics or Wittgenstein's Tractacus.
Also, read a little about the history of South Asia before the British, which is an anime tier adventure of ruthless warlords fighting the Mongols and building towers out of skulls.
The current state of India is mainly the fault of the eternal Anglo. They were as great as China before
