Adulthood never began

[Anonymous No.49812527]

When I was a child I thought by my early 30s I'd be wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase and making lots of money because I did well at maths in school.

Now it's a Sunday and I'm listening to anime vidya music while sitting in a tracksuit. And my job is a BS people skills job and I have no people skills and no clear job description. I'm employed because all of the people with technical skills require some vague bullshitting bureaucrat to oversee them. And being this BS link between the core business and its technical expertise is the privileged position! But not for me because I'm too ugly to get promoted.

I remember sitting in the early years of school, bored out of my mind because of the weekly assignments where you had to say what you did in the weekend. And every subject at school had to be dumbed down by making it involve creating pictures and posters. And now at my job I am mainly judged by how well I can fit in with normies by talking about my weekends and how well I can puff up decisions through pointless powerpoint slides.

this is ultimately the greatest societal issue we face. the cost of everything makes owning anything real prohibitively expensive. you can buy shares or crypto and get lucky for sure. odds are you can't and won't. our grandparents were able to purchase very adequate homes for the equivalent of a professionals/tradepersons yearly salary. these days you need to take out a fat as fuck loan from the banks to be able to 'afford' a shitty fucking shoebox in a 'liveable' suburb (in Australia). I can't wait for these fucking boomers to lose all their cheap dumb gains. hopefully the default wave on these plebs that massively leveraged themselves these past 2 years nukes everything as well

welcome to the low-trust, quantity-not-quality driven world, kids come of age in their 30's and soon 40's because there's no rite of passage anymore and you have to come up with your own passage into adulthood, and that'll be the trope of having a car, house, and wife, and even then you won't feel as though you've differentiated yourself from the billions of other people who have the same thing because getting those things is easy in today's economy, however what you'll have is of tacky Chinese quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgl-45gmoDE

the rite of passage nowadays is to save up, buy some land, and to become self-sufficient and to detach from society as a whole (ideally, or for the part); this has always been a way for boys to become men, however it has largely been forgotten since the Industrial Revolution gave us all the conveniences we needed to avoid facing any real strife

I decided that I wasn’t happy so I quit my job and found another one that pays 3x what I made. Tomorrow I will go to the gym and throw away all my tshirts and jeans.

I suppose "berg" and "stein" are technically German.
The only way to win is to build alternative societies within, until enough people are on your side that the conventional structures of power collapse. They can't kill a self-sufficient bubble of hundreds of thousands of people, armed to the teeth. Every official, every soldier, every officer, has a family, and isn't wearing a vest in their off time; every pig and every rat has a wallow or burrow. Build connections at church, emulate the Amish in your clannishness, your closeness, your austere ideals, but be militant. Have as many children as you can. One day we can outnumber them. We can fill their offices with our allies. Dismantle from within and without. Demographics and identity are destiny.
