I'm really surprised at how aggressive & arrogant
some "western converts" to Buddhism are.
I expect an authoritarian attitude from Abrahamic religions, there is a hierarchy in place from the get go but - especially on this forum - some western converts need to convince themselves as much as others that the new way is correct.
I see it as them saying "I am spiritually superior & have finished the karmic cycle" inferring in various layers that the reader ... is not quite on their level.
I find it baffling that spiritual growth boils down to "my team is better than yours".
This is why I don't subscribe to teams or labels.
The professional smart Alec's refer to it as "someone else's drama" - usurping the concept of the great game to again appear superior.
Mr Peterson refers to it as
virtue signalling.
