[Peace Treaty] Community Unity - No More Politics

I had to look that up, but this is what I got from Quora…?

The black pill believes in a more nihilistic concept that the red pill doesn’t agree with. They believe that reality is rigged and that some people are destined to fail no matter what they do. They also oppose a lot of red pill teachings as offering false hope to these people destined to fail.

Uh… is this it? - this is some self-defeating incel/nihilist crap. Surely that the opposite of LHP. Guess that makes me red pilled, then.

@DavidSmith - unfortunately I missed the boat on that, and haven’t been around that long - I don’t suppose you feel like paraphrasing for us plebs that don’t know what you’re talking about…?

Compliance! I hate politics, I vote but I don’t want to discuss any of it here. :+1::clap:

It’s pretty obvious, dude. The owners wanted to clean the site up and make it a haven for special snowflake ‘magickians’ in preparation for the mass launch of their e-book and paperback releases. This never had anything to do with magick or improving the forum.

It did, however, have EVERYTHING to do with capitalism and money, and in that light it was a smart decision, regardless of how underhanded it was presented to us. So the ruling (IMO) is simply that BALG is a business whose true mission statement should read “make money however opportunistic way we can”. Never a good thing.

They should probably re-name it Become A Living Capitalist. A savvy student might at least learn how money magick can sometimes work via observation.

The only comment I want to make is that ALL forms of political topic or posting where the core premise is party politics or identity politics, and politicised topics such as mass migration of peoples are now prohibited. I mention this because “special snowflake” is a term often applied to people engaging in identity politics.

Those are also spelled out in the document Timothy gave me as not permitted. They can be discussed freely via PM as covered in the OP.

@Woodsman81 you already know this, but for the benefit of newer members, many of us (me very much included) feel strongly about political issues of various kinds, I am personally anti-marxist among other things, and we conduct magick to pursue our desired goals.

There is no expectation that forum members cease this kind of work outside the forum, nor is anyone of less value if they do political-oriented magick - I do not share the OP belief that politics and magick simply do not mix, and this forum is not a cult, so agreeing with the forum owners, or moderators, or Regular members is in no way expected or required.

So the ban applies on all forms of political posting. And is being meticulously applied as such.

I went into more detail regarding the practical application here: BALG RULES - Please read them! - #80 by Lady_Eva

If anyone has any questions, you are most welcome to PM me. :sunny:

That’s not the issue. I do what I want regardless of what anyone else says; I merely choose to comply when it suits me or I genuinely care about a person.

What pissed me off was the underhanded way in which it was presented. This never had anything to do with magick, bettering of the self/forum, or any of the other nicely written B.S. spewed by the OP. This was a blatant attempt to cast a wider net for their book launch.

As I said, I totally understand the move from a business perspective. It’s the piss poor attempt to pass it off as an enlightened act that irked me. In other words, to quote Clint Eastwood: “Don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s raining…”.

I have no issues with someone being an upfront asshole. At all. It’s actually pretty respectable in an off-handed way, because a problem has been identified that can now be resolved. But to assume I am dumb enough to buy a lie and then attempt to pull it off on me is unforgivable.

Fair enough, I just wanted to be clear on that one point. :+1:

Are we allowed to talk about long dead historical people like Dr. Dee? John Dee - Wikipedia
Or centuries old governments/occult topics from history, and some of these countries don’t even exist anymore?[quote=“Biffa_Bacon, post:267, topic:40540, full:true”]
I guess it would depend on whether there was any opinion given on a politically relevant or obviously political topic. Does sort of beg the question how the application of magic can be discussed effectively without some manner of politics seeping in, but there you go I guess.

You can’t. Not when you have ancient Egypt were the rulers were worship as gods.

the·oc·ra·cy

/THēˈäkrəsē/

noun

  1. a system of government in which priests rule in the name of God or a god.

I would understand if there was better outline to this rule. Just to forbid a whole topic limits what this site COULD be. My entire believe system and personal practice is just cut off from me mentioning it here.

Edit: how come you deleted your post @Purple ? It was a valid point to raise.

I’m in full agreement with all of this, both as a member and in terms of how a topic like that would be moderated. :+1:

Agreed as well, if anyone has questions about this and maybe feel uncertain about posting them, you’re always welcome to PM me. :smiley:

I also put as much of a guideline as possible here.

I understand the need for the ban for modern political talk. But there should be guidelines for historical politics on magic on here.

STEPS ON SOAPBOX

I’m nobody within the ranks of become a living God, I’m just another forum person, that said, I wholeheartedly agree with the ideas that Timothy and the staff have put forth.

It isn’t that I’m trying to get cool with Lady_Eva or Timothy, I’m not trying to become buddies, it’s just that I’ve seen what politics does to friendships and camaraderie, indeed entire families have been destroyed, and long-term friendships have been turned ugly and black due to the discussion of politics.

I have never seen a political discussion that has gone in a positive way, although they always start off friendly, and with a mode or Viewpoint of respect for other people’s views, it eventually turns into name calling, hate speech, and leaves people angry and divided.

Nobody is being censored, indeed, if you have something to say regarding anyting, even if it’s an unpopular opinion or idea, anybody and everybody is encouraged to speak up or even speak out, so nobody’s being censored as far as I can tell. The only thing that’s happening is that the become a living God staff recognizes and is indeed aware of how damaging political discussions can be in an open Forum such as this.

We all have differing viewpoints, differing ideas when it comes to political issues such as gun control, border walls, immigration, taxes, and indeed anything that could go in a political Direction, some of us feel extremely strong about some of these issues, and strong feelings lead to strong emotions, strong emotions lead to strong words and opinions, and strong words leads to hurt feelings, damaged relationships, and hatred.

STEPS OFF OF SOAPBOX

I am only asking to share historical information how long dead occultists effective countries and how their work change history of mankind. I see the people behind this site in the same way. How I see where this all might end? Its an important point I think that needs to be talked about.

I’ll address how that can practically be done whilst honouring the spirit and word of the rule later this week. :+1:


This topic is itself very contentious, and this is MY Christmas Day, as well as everyone else’s, also that of all our incredible Regular-rank contributing members who are the Member Moderators watching out for problems on the forum.

With that in mind, I respectfully close this topic until tomorrow because I do not wish controversy and contention to break out, it’s Timothy’s topic so I would not usually do this, but I do not wish to spend the most important work-free holiday of the year watching this get bumped and risking anyone, perhaps with an excess of festive cheer, making controversial comments on it that will detract from our day.

Love to all. :sparkling_heart: :christmas_tree: :sparkles:

This topic was automatically opened after 23 hours.

Members who post race-baiting, identity-politics and highly politicised topics which patently have no magickal content or context whatsoever AND who are fully aware of this rule will receive some form of temporary restriction on their accounts. I am referring to @Micah’s earlier post plainly made to mock this rule and provoke politicised responses from forum members. I have suspended @Micah’s account for 2 days.
