The left-wing-neo-con-virtue-signallers support the removal of so-called "brutal dictators" which results in those nations being many times worse off than before. This is because the left-wing-neo-cons are indoctrinated by the corporate war industry mainstream media. For example, they are happy for millions of Iranians to be killed in war as long as it allows for more sexual promiscuity & homosexuality in Iran. None of this is related to Buddhism, really. It is mostly ignorance.Monks and nuns should only comment in extreme political circumstances such as war, brutal dictatorship etc
Monks, become my heirs of Dhamma, not heirs of material things.

While this is quite a strangely angry rant, I agree with most of it.DooDoot wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2019 11:47 pmMonks & nuns are already political & biased towards the political views of their supporters (rather than have political views based on the Dhamma). For example, the Trump vs Hillary campaign showed a gang of Western monks & nuns heavily biased towards "liberal & war interventionist doctrine", including support of abortion. For example, Bhikkhu Bodhi's case for a "Just War" only against Nazi Germany because Bhikkhu Bodhi & many of his supporters are Jewish shows how biased Western monks can appear to be. Therefore, monks & nuns should only preach the Dhamma that may be related to politics rather than comment directly on political parties & candidates.
In short, the criteria below is non-sense because to be properly practiced relies on accurate facts, In short, I think it clearly demonstrates how so-called "Buddhist Liberals" promote war intervention & can be easily manipulated or duped by war propaganda. It is ILLOGICAL because it proposes brutal dictatorship can be ended (obviously by using war); yet it also opposes war.

I undertake the training to refrain from false speech.
I don't recall ever posting or inferring the above. I recall posting the left are the "dupes" ("pawns") of the right.Idappaccayata wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 12:23 amYou seem quite politically biased though. Do you really believe it's only the "left wing sheep" that support war and removing "dictators"? The entire establishment runs on war and pro corporate policy. To single out one side of the political spectrum is hilarious. It's just as delusional as political monks.

No. Not at all.
I think this is starting to veer off topic, beyond the parameters for which this topic is permitted to be discussed at Dhamma Wheel.
You just shared a video by a literal, self proclaimed Nazi, speaking to a "monk" or whoever that guy in the orange was, while complaining that monks are too political. This is both hilarious and very sad. How are you not seeing the forest through the trees?
I did originally post the view in the video would be written-off as "Nazi" but deleted my comment. Note: I don't have psychic powers.Idappaccayata wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 2:48 amYou just shared a video by a literal, self proclaimed Nazi...
The above is irrelevant. You are attacking the speaker rather than focusing upon what the speaker said. This said, I critiqued the monk in another thread.Idappaccayata wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 2:48 amI would honestly like to hear your attempt to explain how this "monk" isn't engaging in politics, and how you justify him doin speaking to a white nationalist?
The view Buddhism does not support is writing-off what a person has to say when one has not even heard what they have to say. Just because the monk is chatting to a Nazi sympathizer and speaks some White Supremacist things does not make everything he says as invalid. Buddhist does not support this. 90+% of what the monk said is valid Buddhist discourse.

I don't recall ever suggesting any wrong paths to you.
No. I accused him/her of the CM method of character assassination. This is not Buddhist.
