This is the Western philosophy, that life is in your control and external forces can never dictate your circumstances.

The answer is that it’s both but you can only control your actions.

Don’t look too down at people for not suceeding but people who try and do deserve it as well

Nigga these things are diametrically opposed. Capital seeks to expand globally for bigger markets, the only way to prevent this is laws and shit like that will just be eroded by (((interests))) over time. I'm not a capitalist because I know that capitalists just want to make money, they don't care about traditions or the ethnic makeup of the country, just like modern communists.

A strasserite vs a neo-nazi. Ain't this silly as hell. Capitalists, no matter what sort would vastly prefer the national socialism that Hitler brought. The one that deregulated businesses, cut wages, increase wealth inequality and rise the cost of living for the sake of the few. Allying yourself with the "nation" and giving out concession is just going to have those very same concessions also destroyed if the means of production isn't taken away from those that hold capital. If you want to try your hand at being a stinking rich asshole, then support neo-nazi idiots on /pol/. If you want socialism however, you have to realize that races in themselves don't have much of an interest in actually mixing together with each other that damn often. The actual rate that races mix is around like 2% outside of colonialist rape of the local women. Also stop expecting white capitalists to also not fuck you in the ass. All cpaitalists no matter what creed they go by, are the economic jew of the world. No matter if they're a Republican, Democrat or whatever the fuck. For example, the Koch Brothers sure as shit ain't going to let you close down the borders for real.

If it's my fault, why are so many others suffering through the exact same thing? How much do things need to change before you consider there are external circumstances gradually making life worse? If there are ten jobs left, will you still demand that every person compete for those jobs. Yes there are lots of jobs, but most of them are terrible. Why do you tolerate so little for the lives of the people around you? When do you admit that the bar keeps getting raised every time we learn to jump a little higher. Come on man, look the fuck around you. Phd's don't deserve shitty jobs, finance majors don't deserve shitty jobs, law students don't deserve shitty jobs, even humanity majors don't deserve shitty jobs. Not even high school graduates. Ask more for the people around you and stop blaming the victims of this abuse.

Asians typically don't allow much individualism, so it's only natural that it's hard to turn a life around for them. However you live in the western world (hopefully) and therefore have way more opportunities to turn your life around than you would in asia.

Wrong. Its collective support. When a black person becomes successful he is expecting to pay for everyone else in his family.

i agree and disagree. love is what you make of it. not to sound cliche, but "the love you take is = to the love you make". If you find someone at the same point in their life, then it will happen. It is less mystical and gay in reality. I thought only women got sucked up into the "true love" meme.

Is this extreme anxiety for social uprising really living though? Do you study because you are genuinely interested in it, because it is your passion, because you want to ascend humanity, or because you "must" to be respected by your peers and to have some money to live a life that projects status? Is this really the mark of the superior man?

I don't know, you see how primitive humans live in the jungles of Borneo or in the Amazonas and you start understanding what true life really is; living in commune with your family and closest relatives, in the outside, no stress, a bit of hunting, a bit of recollecting, a bit of sowing, most of the day socializing and playing, building stuff, exploring the outskirts, teaching your kids, breathing pure air, no noise... Yeah they will not conquer Mars but they are probably happier, and in the end, they live lives as long as ours (if you ignore infant mortality).

I think that modern society has sacrificed happiness for relentless progress and increased productivity, and even if you make it and win a lot of money, one has to wonder if it was actually worth it. If all of this is worth it, civilization as a whole, especially this decadent new iteration of the Western Civilization. The only thing that can save us from the hell we have created (since the neolithic) is some kind of new trans-humanist paradigm, where we dramatically increase our lifespans, health problems become a thing of the past, basic earnings and basic necessities are covered publicly (through a mechanized workforce that pays for it), societies become safer, less stressful, we create less crowded environments and cities, pollution decreases, etc.

Instead the path we are choosing is the Africanization and Brazilification of the world, not by returning to the jungle, but from the perspective of creating a dystopian crime-riddled favela hellscape where an ugly and unhealty mulatto society live at the shadow of an international economic elite.

>>12304365
Noble savage myth. Status matters just as much in these societies. If you're going to forego material possessions and technology, the best way is to live the way the old Greek philosophers advised, in complete asceticism and with a small community of like-minded people or, that being impossible, going for hermitism.

>>12299596
Stop concentrating yourself onto metric system of time periods.
There is no time, it's continuous measured cycle that continues itself to infinity. It's changeable and you can have periodic Christmas in summer period if you choose to count few more months before adding another number to 2018.
Period changes for tools like clock or your tax papers or your passport.
You are not a tool that needs to be changed at specific period like calendar at Jan 1st.
You and only you control your free flow, you are not bound to metric system in any way you chose to follow it, you can also stop using it.
It gets frustrating at times when you mind your own bushiness and suddenly no one let's you in a grocery shop, later finding out it's holiday period for other people.
But it's manageable.

Seriously, look at how many men are killed by violence in societies like the Jivaro or Yanomamo (sp?) or how many women are raped or bartered.

Or the constant mosquitoes, the terrible snake bites, and so forth.

You kinda misunderstood eastern philosophy, OP. YOU are the product of your decisions, meaning you can always change yourself by taking action!

>>12304717
Yeah I agree, I expressed myself in a very materialistic way and I actually think that what society lacks today the most, and the biggest cause of unhappiness, is the lack of meaning, of "myth". In a cosmopolitian multicultural society we also lack roots and have lost the sense of community and kindred, we have lost what many psychologists like Jung argued were some of the pillars of meaning and happiness, and in the end of creativity, productivity and excellence. Our unhappiness is not born out of our hardships but out of them not having a place in our world view, if a hardship fits your inner mythos then it can be a blessing that gives rise to your innate heroism, in this sense many people can't find any sense in modern society so the hardships, despite not being very brutal, are very hard to endure. In the past, a man could be a slave but if he lived (and truly believed) by the christian myth he could be estoic and content in that his suffering would pay off in the end, in a way he was a martyr and in his disgrace favored by God. A war was a blessing by those men who lived by a divine warrior mythos, they seeked war and warring despite knowing it could kill them, there was also an instinctual fulfillment in this regard. Today we are better off than those slaves in a material sense, but the average worker knows that he is, and will remain, just an overworked underdog with no inner meaning to his life, we have lost all sense to our lives, we live just to consume, and our society goes nowhere, and this is what truly makes us miserable.

-pick up shit that does support your enjoyment & growth
-small activities, expand as you grow stronger (they're never actually small, because of what they build into)

-don't overwhelm yourself
