As if the drooling mass won't just elect and prop up another identical figure to do the same shit once you wankers 'eradicate the evil'

'Bad people will always exist so we should just let them do what they want and propegate undetered.' Lmao. Put yourself in the shoes of someone who had their prepubescent daughter snatched off the street to be tortured in a basement for the rest of her life by some douchebag billionaire who gets praise showered on him everywhere he goes and ask yourself if you'd still be making cool, shoulder-shruging posts on 4chan. Ever consider your attachment is just an emotional defense mechanism in reaction to the depth of evil and suffering in this world and our current powerlessness to fight it? How about you spend some time contemplating that instead of koans about rivers.

No you fucking retard let me make this as plain as possible for your marble smooth brain to conprehend.
>>IF YOU DO NOT CHANGE THE MASSES THEN NO AMOUNT OF YOUR MASTURBATORY FANTASIES ABOUT KILLING ELITES WILL AMOUNT TO ANYTHING.

you keep skipping over the only part that matters to concentrate on this percieved commandment to do nothing which is the opposite of what the post said. Stop wasting everyones time and actually read for once

Intellectual children immediately jump to drastic vigilante behavior. Change the masses, but not by posting on here! Go immediately execute elites with your katana instead of using legal systems or public pressure! 


> Just that they're not the kinds of lower material pleasures the average person is after.
Not having my children mutilated by an insane state apparatus is a lower material pleasure?
> In an ideal world
That's not this world sadly.


You have a good, practical answer based in dharma. Let those who have trained to serve as protectors step in first, but stepping in yourself if necessary is very righteous.


Yes I wholeheartedly support this.

Then work on making it this world. Walk the spiritual path alone, come out of it victorious over the ego, then you can work on becoming a force for the greater communal good.
I stand by it, in order to become a righteous man you have to extinguish your personal desires for fame, glory, women etc. Then you can exert punishment upon the wicked.
If you mindlessly have children in the first place, without knowing how to defend them or yourself, it's easy for the powers that be to morally corrupt them.

There is a period in every man's life where he needs to withdraw even from combat, in order to hone the sharpness of his mental blade. Ahimsa is one of these principles which serve to develop the spirit, but it's not always practicable when you are out in the world.
Bodhidharma, when seeing how physically exhusted the Shaolin monks were from fasting and meditation, taught them martial arts. Such warrior monks are also permitted to eat meat, which would otherwise contradict ahimsa.

Bodhidharma is a ming dynasty literary invention attributed with the authorship of the yijinjing and the xisui jing. Neither being a martial art and both being based on taoist not yogic exercises. The martial arts themselves are of a largely secular origin with many of the staff methods they would largely become known for being traced back to a specific general. Going back to Chinese classic literature though shaolin is usually depicted as wildly heretical not keeping ANY of the vows and engaging in not just violence but mercenary violence for profit, consuming not just meat but the most unclean of meats, drinking to beligerance and lustful indulgences. Permission for their lack of dietary restrictions by the way coming from the tang emperor as a reward for military service and lacks any spiritual/religious reasoning for it's permissibility
