Macron and Merz’s budding bromance could reshape Europe—but will it survive Germany’s chronic caution? Franco-German ‘alignment’ always sounds great, until the real decisions (and debt) come due. #EU #France #Germany #Macron #Merz www.politico.eu/article/dona...

Starmer steps in as the 'diplomatic power player' to mend the Trump-Zelenskyy rift—but at what cost? Is this the new face of bully diplomacy, where allies must beg, apologize, and compromise to keep the US engaged? Pragmatism over principles— #Realpolitik in action. www.politico.eu/article/keir...

🚨 Russia isn’t just waging war on Ukraine—it’s exporting state-sponsored terrorism across Europe. Recruiting saboteurs, hacking, & spreading disinfo—this is hybrid warfare in action. The EU must act decisively. #Russia #HybridThreats #Security via @politico.eu www.politico.eu/article/russ...

9/ So was the seed of hatred always there? It seems so. Even if buried under verses of compassion, history shows how easily it sprouts. #religion #extremism

8/ This doesn’t mean Abrahamic religions are inherently evil. But their DNA contains both love and division, peace and conquest. That’s why they’ve inspired both saints and warlords.
100
Joji @jojisky.bsky.social · 09/03/2025
7/ Critics might say: “Any ideology can be twisted for violence!” True. But the degree matters. Abrahamic texts provide clear justification for exclusion and even war. Buddhist texts generally don’t.
100
Joji @jojisky.bsky.social · 09/03/2025
6/ The Abrahamic faiths, by contrast, instill fear—of hell, of divine wrath, of heretics. This fear, mixed with moral absolutism, creates fertile ground for radicalization.
100
Joji @jojisky.bsky.social · 09/03/2025
5/ Why? Because Buddhism doesn’t claim a “chosen people” or a single path to salvation. It focuses on personal enlightenment, not divine punishment. No heaven vs. hell, no eternal judgment.
100
Joji @jojisky.bsky.social · 09/03/2025
4/ Compare this with Buddhism. While Buddhism has been used to justify war (e.g., militant Zen in Japan, Buddhist nationalism in Myanmar), its core teachings lack divine mandates for conquest or holy war.
100
Joji @jojisky.bsky.social · 09/03/2025
3/ The Hebrew Bible orders massacres (Deut. 20:16-18). The New Testament was used to justify the Crusades and colonialism. The Quran, while full of mercy, has passages extremists exploit. The potential for violence was always there.
100
Joji @jojisky.bsky.social · 09/03/2025
2/ The Abrahamic religions preach love and justice. But they also divide the world into believers vs. non-believers, saved vs. damned, chosen vs. forsaken. This duality makes them vulnerable to both peace and war.

Joji @jojisky.bsky.social · 09/03/2025
1/ Many say Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are religions of peace. Yet history is filled with violence, persecution, and extremism in their name. Is the seed of hatred hidden within them? Let’s explore. 🧵

5/ The battle ahead isn’t just political—it’s existential. If reality and the future belong only to the elites, what happens to the rest of us? The fight isn’t just for democracy, but for the right to define truth—and to remain fully human.

Joji @jojisky.bsky.social · 07/03/2025
4/ Reality & the future are now luxury products. AI-generated lies are free. Truth is behind a paywall. The rich chase life extension while the rest are fed distractions—trapped in endless culture wars instead of shaping what comes next.

3/ Musk’s salute wasn’t about Nazis—it was about power. It signaled that elites can break taboos, rewrite reality, and get away with it. Western oligarchs have adopted Russia’s playbook: fabricate illusions, stretch the present, monopolize the future.
100
Joji @jojisky.bsky.social · 07/03/2025
2/ The Russian method is spreading. Political elites no longer hide their lies. They fabricate reality openly, knowing they’ll face no consequences. From “Russia isn’t invading” to “ethnic cleansing is resettlement”, the game is the same: control truth itself.

1/ Reality is under assault. Putin’s Russia doesn’t dream of a future—it rewrites the past & traps society in an endless present. Fake social conflicts, distractions, & historical revision keep people from imagining change. Sound familiar? It should. 🧵 substack.com/inbox/post/1...

“The Mahabodhi Temple, a UNESCO WHS, holds profound spiritual & cultural significance for Buddhists worldwide. Its control by a non-Buddhist majority committee is a grave injustice & an attack on the fundamental principles of religious freedom and human rights.” en.themooknayak.com/amp/story/in...

@mcfaulmike.bsky.social: “Trump, Vance & others either have forgotten or never knew that Zelensky signed a ceasefire agreement with Putin in 2019. Three years later, Putin launched his full-scale invasion. So, signing another ceasefire with no security guarantees feels like suicide for Ukrainians.”

Dear Mike, Trump’s 'master chess move' is, at best, delusion and, at worst, reckless incompetence—Russia won’t be stopped by a mining deal; it has already attacked Western-linked areas before. His plan drags the U.S. in, not out. This isn’t 4D chess; it’s a con. 👑🤡 #Geopolitics

Joji @jojisky.bsky.social · 02/03/2025
Trump’s “genius” plan is pure delusion. Russia has attacked Western-linked areas before, and a mining deal won’t stop them. Claiming to keep the U.S. out while making its assets a target is a contradiction. This isn’t chess—it’s a clown show. 🤡

Joji @jojisky.bsky.social · 02/03/2025
Trump fermerà la guerra con un accordo minerario"? Peccato che: ❌ La Russia ha già attaccato zone con interessi USA. ❌ Un business non è una garanzia di sicurezza. ❌ Dire "gli USA staranno fuori" e poi coinvolgerli è una contraddizione. Scacchi? Questo sembra più dama giocata male. 🤨

FROM RED SCARE TO RED CARPET: The U.S. went from the paranoid witch hunts of McCarthyism in the 50s—where a whiff of Soviet sympathy could end careers—to a foreign policy Moscow openly celebrates. Turns out the real ‘useful idiots’ were just running late. #FullCircle #KremlinApproved
