drop a martial art if it is failing to harm anyone.
This might be intersting to you – he talks about the difference between philosophical Daoism (like the Daodejing) and religious Daoism (the “weird decorum” you mention). Also this
What are your thoughts on inner martial arts?
I’ll let my fists do the thinking on this.
And that I’m expected to devote all of my time and energy and effort to it just to prove it. The least I can do and have done anymore, is whenever an issue involving women comes up and someone is attempting to shut them down, I’ll speak my mind of it.
You’ve stated your own problem here. Trying to please moralistic people is a no-win game. Instead, be practical.
A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous.
they’re not violent enough I think

The writing system has its flaws too.
Some of these might sound like non-issues to grown-ups, but they’re hard for children.
Cló Gaelach means Gaelic print. Lámh Gaelach is the same thing but handwritten, it means Gaelic Hand. It’s not an alternative to the Latin alphabet, just a dialect of it, like how German was written in Blackletter up until quite recently. Most letters are similar to the boring mainstream print, but T (Ꞇ), G (Ᵹ) and D (Ꝺ) are quite distinctive, and the letter H is not used.
There is no aspirated h (h as a consonant) in Irish, it’s used to mark softened phonemes, so m
represents one consonant and mh
in Cló Rómánach (Roman print) represents a softer sound. Cló Gaelach favours the superdot ṁ
instead of using h.
This is the part of constitution declaring Irish the official language of the country, with English a secondary official language:
The government phased it out for official use in the 1970s because they are idiots. I still use it when I can, I never write Irish by hand without it.
Using what we’ve just seen, we can call it ‘oġam’ instead of ‘ogham’. It’s not a G-sound then a H-sound; it’s a soft G more like English ‘owam’.
Ogham is much older. It was used around the year 400. It is a tree-themed alphabet, branches coming off a central column, and the letters mostly have names like ‘birch’, ‘oak’, 'hazel. Ogham is climbed as a tree is climbed, which is to say it’s written bottom to top. It was created by the god Ogma; similar to how Thoth created writing in Egypt. An 14th-century text called In Lebor Ogaim talks about various ways of putting ciphers upon it. Posts about ogham: https://lemmy.ml/post/16545296 , https://lemmy.ml/post/18046303

Ogham tattoos are common enough nowadays.
Nah not really. It was very bomby and gunny in the 20th century, now it seems mostly chill.
Not a big difference really.
I have most of the classics in paperback. Hardcovers do come out first, so if you’re in a hurry to read something new, that’s there first.
That’s my point
