You hit the nail on the head. I live in Canada and our """culture""" is that we are ""nice"" and we're not American. Totally soulless
What a shame. It has such potential for greatness and yet it fell flat through greed, stupidity and un-checked liberalism

It's probably because like a lot of people on this board, including myself, grew up very disillusioned with their indoctrination and teachings about the world. Thus the natural reaction for people would be to seek politics, philosophy and religion because all the post-modern world views induced was existential dread, nihilism, hedonism etc which most people inherently know is sick to the soul and needed somewhere to make sense of all their thoughts and feelings.

I stayed up till 2:30 am again writing a letter to Kaczynski which I know I wont send again.

I wonder about the future of humanity and what lies ahead for us collectively as a species. We are far too divided to progress very far as a collective, conflict of interest is too large. A move that is beneficial for humanity as a whole will be looked at as only beneficial for some and harmful to others because we are not united as one.
In order to solve this we must unite as a species. But how do go about doing this? The species is far too different to ever be united under a political banner, especially because of cultural and racial differences. So the only option I can see involves the unification of the human race and the Earth under a single banner and race. We must first unify before we can work efficiently at expanding outwards.

Miss girls that look like this. It seems like a bygone age.

/lit/ I need some help.

Basically a girl who is out of my league asked me on a date, the only problem is I've been more terrified than happy. For the past couple months I've been extremely depressed and I've lost most of my self worth. I also have social anxiety.

Do you guys have any book recs to make me stop being a pussy before the date? Even though an attractive girl is showing interest in me I still hate myself. How do I go from full on doomer who's afraid of getting close to people to a bloomer who has a sense of self worth and isn't a coward?

Did the ending of lolita make you cry or am I just a bitch?
