Putin - difference between Russians and Americans


Recommended Posts

Do you see a future for people like us of certain values and frames of mind (across the races and cultures) in the UK and Europe, Dal? 

I'm surprised at the brazen besharmpunna on display at the moment. The man behind the curtain seems to no longer care that his presence has become known if you know what I mean.

Can you not feel the growing suspicion amongst intelligent people (of all backgrounds) regarding modern mainstream culture? I think they are suspicious of it but feel powerless against it. 

I think we may have tough times ahead. We need bold, strong, inspiring leadership with foresight in the diaspora. We can't hide behind conservatism away from the world (like so many try), because we'll just get chipped away at and become relevant then (death by a thousand cuts). We need things in the open between us. Unless we get dynamic again we'll be in deep doo doo. 

It's a bad enough that we have all and sundry trying to pull the wool over our eyes without being able to trust and rely on each other. There is an obvious link between how disunited we are (or as Ranjeet put it - a low trust society) and how much we will be getting targeted by others. And by this I mean for ideological conversions.  So you can have all the external insignias of the faith but internally you are converted to another way of thinking - and when this is done well - a person would actually have no clue that they had been converted at all.  

Personally I feel that the whole debate about colonialism and how it led to mass mind-manipulation amongst our quom is actually very relevant to today. But it is SO contentious (right now) with families being indoctrinated for a good few generations now, that it is hard to broach without serious backlashes. And this looks like a block on intellectual growth to me. 

I think in the UK, the truth finally emerging about what is now known as 'grooming' might be waking more people up. We have to show them that certain state operatus (like the police, media, government departments) aren't the benign forces we might be led to believe but sometimes actively acting against Sikhs or covertly supporting others who are anti-Sikh. We need to get an independent, well informed, sophisticated mindset as common amongst apnay - which is no easy task given their proclivities......lol

We also need to get more discerning regarding our leadership. We need people who aren't scared to face and counter established forces and their deeply entrenched narratives effectively. On the plus (coming from an old schooler) we have seen some of this happening with Bhai Jagraj Singh and SIkh Youth UK lately. But it still needs to grow, until most apnay are broadly singing from the same hymn book - with all their diversity. Disabling those apnay chaaplooses that they wheel out to counter any progressive or challenging narrative we come out with must be a top priority too.

Define 'intelligent', lol. I'm know and am aware of many educated and erudite people, but I struggle to attribute the quality of wisdom and foresight to their cognition. The paradox of such a thing doesn't bode well, particularly when such people hold the reins to the fate of the majority. I can perhaps forgive genuine ignorance and inexperience, but self-interest and malice masquerading as benevolence is unforgivable.

No, don't get it twisted. I don't equate success in formal academic education, or an ability to express yourself as 'intelligence'. Some guys are not remotely educated but have an innate grasp of human nature and social realities that enable them to see the truth around them incisively. Formal education can be as much of an indoctrination than anything else (I'm sure we've discussed this before?)

It's like all the grooming filth. It was actually ground level (not highly educated) street guys who picked up on it and tried to combat it first. If they had been educated farts they probably wouldn't have got off their ar5es in the first place - or make a thousand excuses for it like the majority did. 

Now, with all the supporting undeniable evidence of gorian also getting targeted on 'industrial scales' - the farts have a tougher time maintaining their position (which is based on fear and selfishness when you analyse it). I think a lot of the 'educated and erudite' people you speak of can actually see the truth, but chose out of fear and selfishness to go along with the majority policy of silence and conformity. Another thing I've noticed is that established leaders are often very narcissistic - and they would rather tear down, or resist anyone taking the hits to get important contentious issues to the fore - then risk diminishing any of their own importance. 

And again, it all boils down to who we chose as leaders and how much we openly support them - especially when the establishment tries to (inevitably) tear them down. Since when have Singhs ever historically chosen pu55ies to lead them? This is a new habit. You could probably guess that I think this sort of thinking has its antecedents from the 'annexation' period and all the compromises made then.

But those people don't have a voice, or at worst are viewed with a considerable amount of condescension and mistrust. Such people are abandoned and left muttering on the sidelines at the injustice of it all, which is where it's understood that they can't affect anything. This status-obsessed world we occupy seems to assume that if you haven't "made it" there must be some serious deficiencies in the individual, and therefore most of what such people have to offer is taken with a pinch of salt or, at worst, even disregarded just because it doesn't originate from a place of supposed authority. So how does that particular individual ever transfer their thoughts and philosophies to tangible action -- in a system that perhaps purposefully yet unobtrusively makes it very difficult for those who don't follow the narrative and those without "official endorsements" to succeed -- when they aren't afforded the grace to do so?

You cannot participate and then win a game that is fixed. To even try and play is futile. So you either give up or you destroy the game, hoping there are enough like-minded individuals ready to flock to your cause to eliminate the idea of a disgruntled lone-wolf raging at an unjust world.

The points putin mentioned in the first video is actually common knowledge even amongst those who study the history of US even cursorily. Slavery, ethnic cleansing of natives , and dropping nuclear bomb on japan is common knowledge i thought lol .

No, there is another way of looking at it. Making movements at ground level that go upwards. The example I gave previously is a good one to study. I was talking to some younger lot and they said this:

That grooming thing was originally confronted and challenged by a relatively tiny number of people and all the usual obfuscation techniques where thrown against them. Media manipulation, accusations of racism, being made out to be backwards, police harassment, imprisonment and other judicial system attacks. Wheeling out tokens to try and undermine what was being claimed etc. But they persisted. 

Now if we had a thousand of such people nationwide, and they just successfully taught 3 youngers each. We've already got a 4 fold increase. Then think about what some of them may go on to do. What the youngers told me was that we've now got a generation who've been informed about this, so they are aware of it, and also the tactics used by certain goray and sullay to try and obfuscate.  That's against all this effort to counter it. 

Yeah, some people have taken hits in order to achieve this, but that is inevitable. But we've got to a point where more people than ever are informed and potentially active. This momentum must be kept up. This is just the beginning. We have to 'feel' our way through this. 

Actually the model being followed is a historically Sikhi one. Gurus' made their impact at ground level and the relationship between them and the state was always one that fluctuated from support (like with Akhbar) to outright violent hostility (like with Jahangir and Aurenga) . But they still got their message across and built up the community through all of this. Our thing right now has to be about weeding out the selfish and greedy from amongst our leadership, or at least tolerate only those who also have some genuine love for the panth and it's ideals and are conscious of the insidious games being played against us. Awareness is growing.

You don't understand goray. They either have major cognitive dissonance going on about these things and do all the usual (denial, suppressed thoughts, throwing blame on others) or they actually sadistically love what they've historically done and actually rue the fact that they can't openly do this anymore. 

Bring up the topic of slavery or ethnic cleansing and they either 1) run off or try and change the topic to avoid the conversation 2) get angry that they have to face these truths 3) act really pleased about it all.

    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj. 
    • best thing is to follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada and use common sense for gray areas. Anything outside of that's irrelevant tbh that code is what Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the 5 Pyaare agreed on when creating Amrit in 1699
