You nailed it, Karma is simply another culture’s version of “The meek shall inherit the earth” lie constructed by those in power to keep people working for little to no wage.
The DM might make you rival heads of Demogorgon instead.
Chandala / dalit caste folks are regularly abused (as in beaten, raped, murdered, burned, dismembered, etc.) in India because, according to karma, they have clearly done something to deserve it.
I’m still shocked by the absurdly high variety of races the core rules now allow you to play as, so this is icing on the RPG cake.
Karma isn’t an exclusive Hindu take, Buddhism also has a take and its more “actions have will always consequences”
That doesn’t discount others who have a shortened view of karma, and it’s effect on the present life. Karma, rebirth and reincarnation are all separate ideas, while some/many/most Indians (I don’t know, because I haven’t spent any time looking into it) may see karma as a way to justify their treatment of lower castes,…
The western concept of Karma is “ all that goes around comes around” is an over simplified misinterpretation of the concept in my opinion
Jesus, Christ. I honestly can’t think of a more clear-cut “rooting for the meteor” scenario than Trump v Bannon. No dispute could make me feel more strongly that all participants should be loaded into a cannon and fired into the sun. Two rich old white narcissists trying to harm as many people as they possibly can;…
Technically, “karma” doesn’t kick in until the next life.
Outside the USA “blackface” is not really considered an issue, especially in countries with little or no dark-skinned population.
Really, copyright and IP laws need an overhaul to allow for this kind of usage with reasonable restrictions — things like distributed but free of charge, for example, or with licensed-product purchases for access to copyright-protected assets used in the fan product.
“If you think it is so easy, why don’t you join the police force and show them how it’s done? It’s easy to judge others when you aren’t the one putting their life on the line to serve the public.”
I don’t join the police because I do not believe that I would make the right decision in that circumstance 100% of the time. The rest of the police that can’t make those decisions correctly under pressure shouldn’t be police either.
No one said it’s easy. The point is that’s the responsibility of being in the position they’re in. The go-to SHOULDN’T be kill them the second you get nervous. Police have power that others don’t, and I know this saying comes from Spider-Man, but it’s true, with great power comes great responsibility. You’re not being…
Their life wasn’t on the line here. That’s the problem. We are far too often seeing situations where police aren’t willing to see if there is a real danger and would rather shoot first.
Pretty sure your “well, actually” shit got shut the fuck down in this thread. Have a seat.
I’m so sick of hearing about the police murdering compliant people in total absence of wrongdoing. I’m even sicker of the fact that they get away with it.
