The favorite offering that can be made to The Drowned God is drowned grog. The reason is because this is the drink served in his underwater palace where those who follow him go upon their death. Even the mermaid concubines love this drink as well as the fish around the palace of The Drowned God.

To make drowned grog, simply take some seawater and mix it with dark rum. The ideal ratio is three parts salt water and one part dark rum, but this is not precise and is always eyeballed. If you do not have access to the sea, you can add salt to rainwater, river water, or just use water from the sink since the liquor will cover the taste anyway. It is not recommended to consume them since the salt and liquor can be extremely dehydrating, but they are good for libations or for leaving on the shrine.

 

When burning joss sticks or cones in the morning as offerings to dead ancestors or gods, you may have noticed the pleasant smell that comes from them. This smell can be used on clothing and hair and is hygienic since incense smoke has an antibacterial effect.

To incense your clothes, simply light some incense, and allow the smoke to rise up into the clothing or bend over and allow the smoke to go into your hair so it picks up the scent. Hold your breath if you do this, since the smoke at such a proximity can be intense. This is easier to do with longer hair, and for clothes this can slightly extend the time they can be worn until the next washing.

 

Before humans rotted, every dead body was carried to the underworld by winged monkeys, who threw them into a large pit that surrounded The God Of Fear And Hunger. She loved her corpses, but eventually the pit became so full of carrion that the corpses would fall out, and it became pointless for her to collect any more. She decided instead to leave the corpses on the ground and allow moss to grow on them. Eventually bugs came out from the endless void and began feeding on the flesh of dead people. Ravens and other birds as well as animals all began developing a taste for meat, so they started eating it before it went bad.

 

Once upon a time, there was a young boy living in rural China with his grandmother and older brother, since his parents were killed at the hands of imperialists during the war. He lived with them until one day, his brother went missing in Changbai forest, and when he came back he had orange hair, only craved meat, and he kept talking about a fox with an emerald in its mouth. He woke up in the middle of the night to hear his older brother making noise, and when looking, he was fully dressed and about to sneak out. He said to his younger brother that he must go into the forest to live the life he wants, but can never return or tell the truth about where he is going.

In the morning when the boy told his grandmother about his brother, she was shocked. She said that he has been chosen by the fox woman, who has taken him to the forest to live with her in the world of spirits and gods. She told him never to speak about it again, and to only say that his brother ran away, since they were unable to ever speak about the place he has gone.

As he got older, he kept feeling pulled towards the forest, and eventually saw a woman in fancy robes and orange hair beckoning him towards the trees at night. He ran after her into the dark forest, and lanterns suddenly appeared around him. He had entered the world of foxes, where his brother was waiting. He handed him a green stone, and upon touching it he was also turned into a humanoid fox.

That would be interesting. I imagine that if humans respawned after death it would feel like being knocked out with some people having amnesia or dreams between, unless it was so instant that there would be no experience between.

Do you believe that the systems we have are for the benefit of anyone besides the ruling classes of the US? Are you comfortable enough that you do not actually care about the systemic injustices people experience under such a system? Regardless, Xi and Putin are not going to bring us liberation or they would be supplying free weapons and training to revolutionaries. The only countries that still do that these days are Cuba and the DPRK, and they only do that if you go to them and seek it out on your own, since they are ideologically anti-imperialist.

And if you really do want an example of Russia wanting to cause chaos in the west, look up Black Hammer, that group that was infamous for claiming to be socialist while hating Anne Frank.

That seems surreal because bananas have so much fiber. I guess the experience is just beyond what we would expect.

That sounds very unpleasant, but I think due to rigor mortis and the gas that a corpse produces some ghosts may feel bloated or stiff if they are still connected to their old bodies. It probably feels like constipation all over their body.

I see what you mean. I guess I've experienced similar while blacking out or being knocked out and not remembering so this helps to understand it.

I see socialism the same way people living under monarchies or feudalism saw modern republics. They might not be perfect and they might change a lot about how society operates, but they seem to be a lot more advanced and progressive than the systems the world currently has. Songbun sounds rough for some but I don't see a socialist nation having anything resembling an actual caste system. Even if Songbun is replaced with goodness as a measure of how privileged you are in life, the society has to come to reasonable ideas about what is good and what is bad.

Kim Jong Un may have more money than the average DPRK citizen, but their economic and political systems would be very alien to us and I don't think we could apply the same ideas to their country that develop here. If we're talking about strictly Marxism then the DPRK does not have a bourgeois class because the means of production are owned by the state.

People that do not support socialism argue that the state becomes a new elite, but their leadership can be revoked at any time and their leaders would not get away with the nonsense that they can here in occupied turtle island.

I looked into Songbun and I guess this is what you wanted me to see? It says that there is no way for an individual to know their own songbun, so I am not sure exactly how such a system would be known to exist. The sources are literally the CIA and human rights organizations based in the United States, a country wants to destroy and enslave Korea. I don't think DPRK is perfect, but the information we get from Korean sources gives a lot less of an unhinged idea of what that place is like.

The social classes in Marxism Leninism are the proletariat who work and the bourgeoisie who parasitically gain wealth by owning property where the proletariat must work. You move between them by owning property or losing it.

The privilege of the bourgeoisie in America is immense. They control the news, the government, elections, and even get to change or make laws if they have enough money to legally bribe the politicians AKA lobbying. The proletariat are not granted privileges.

In a socialist society, it is believed that the working class is already in control of society, and they look at America with police violence towards ethnic minorities and homelessness. They are too kind to say this to American tourists, but they find the whole of choosing to live under American systems as opposed to theirs just completely insane. Many defectors even go back after seeing the hellish conditions of capitalist Korea. The people of Korea understand that their system is designed for their social class, and the fact that all of these elections and voting doesn't change anything anyway does not help the case for liberalism.

There is discussion in the DPRK and people are allowed to think whatever they want, but in a system where the people already control the economy, why would they advocate ayn-rand style tyranny by corporations like we have In the US? No logical person would even conceive of supporting rightism or privatizing the country's economy in a democratic society where they are educated on class struggle and their class positions.

The DPRK only had 31 applications for asylum in other countries, which would show us that thousands more people are trying to escape America than Popular Korea, which is a nation they constantly portray as oppressive and undemocratic.

If you check on this page https://www.worlddata.info/america/usa/asylum.php, it has an entire section for refugee applications for people that applied for asylum from America. People tend to get mistreated by police, arrested for protesting (Where they end up dead in jail mysteriously) or even end up facing social and legal barriers to self expression such as gender identity or religious freedom. There are also cases of satanic people or other religious minorities being persecuted in America and this would grant them a legal basis to seek asylum somewhere else based on the Geneva refugee conventions. The real issue is whether the other country will accept people fleeing the United States considering the regime's influence and control over the world.
