All that rabid American pride in the current climate makes me sick tho big chief. look in the mirror we don’t value human rights at home or abroad. Anyone can make a joke at americas expense. especially right now, but I still got my second amendment to protect my first. Would you like to know more? You seem to already know what I think but I’d happily elaborate why I made that comment. Your original assumption in your straw man left you looking pretty ridiculous so I’d love to see you try to pivot.
Who needs to pivot?
If we’re playing the game of false equivalencies, my sarcasm said everything that needed to be said about your blithe presumptions about “karma” for entire nation of people.
Also, “karma” doesn’t actually mean “comeuppance”, or “consequences”; it means (roughly) “work”.
Source: I have Northwestern Brahmin Indian blood, and was made to thoroughly study the Vedas, Puranas, Ramayan, Mahabharat (and the Bhagavad Gita contained within it).
Well that opens up like 3 layers of this onion you dropped on my plate. See I didn’t even have to straw man you! The stereotypes are working on overdrive for me. Holy shit. What can I even say that hasn’t been said at length. If you are American then why would you not use the American use of the word Karma? like popularized on the internet, commonly used for the last 20 or so years Karma. The one an average American would identify with and not the hindu translation. You sure hold a lot of US pride for someone who doesn’t understand US context on popular language? ‘instant karma’ there is no way you exist in America and don’t understand the context I was using.
NEXT
Citizens and residents of the United States don’t deserve to be exploited by foreign billionaires, to keep in context to the comment you originally responded to.
What you said implies a justification for the exploitation of the “American poor” (OP’s words) due to or for the “karma for the last century” (your words). If we replace “karma”, with “comeuppance” or “consequences” to keep in line with the “American context”, it still sounds stupid.
So once again, to be clear without sarcasm, an entire nation of millions of people who trace their identities and heritages from every corner of the planet don’t deserve said exploitation from both domestic and foreign billionaires.
As an aside, the “American definition” of karma comes from an incorrect definition from the first British translation of the Bhagavad Gita by Sir Charles Wilkins in 1785 during their colonial occupation of India. I commented about it because of how stupid it sounded to me, given my background and understanding of its concept.
Is this where I say, “NEXT”?
