Identity crisis

Most of them are neo-pagan larpers like >>18365812 who are too "ashamed" of 2000 years of European Semitic legacy. Firstly, they hate Christianity due to racist reasons, of it being Jewish and secondly they follow the Roman line of thinking, who use to call Christianity a "Feminine" religion for slaves, fuck ups and women. So they have to make up new copes of "ancient glory" by stealing from other cultures to brainwash the gullible retards(by overwhelming them with all sort of hyper masculine propaganda and pretending like nothing has been changed in last 2000years) into their faggot larp.

It is very funny to see Pagan fascists and Christian fascists throwing shit each other.

A meme is an ideom without context that is understood regardless, don't throw a fit about trying and failing to make a meme without doing the leg work to make the context inate.

Contracted a pretty bad inflammatory problem that makes me look physically ill. Thought I could fight it with doctors and medicine, eating a very very strict low inflammation diet, but now it's been years without improvement and I've pretty much lost all the people I used to socialize with. I rarely even talk with my family as I don't like people seeing me sick. Feels like this loneliness/depression is destroying the person I used to be, but I refuse to give in. Thinking of this as a "test" - a test of will power and endurance like in The Odyssey. Will work to cure this problem and channeling the pain to positive endeavors like my online business and music. It's crazy to think that things are going so well in one direction (financial net worth and creativity) and so poorly in another (mental health, social life). No idea how long I can keep this up. I just remind myself "where focus goes, energy flows" everyday.

It gives a contrast in the later part to the Amish. As an example, the Amish apparently ban things like insurance, enforcing social reliance on their families and local communities. With modern liberalism, insurance acts as an anonymous way to hedge risk by just paying some money into a pool. There's no requirement for you to know anyone, and therfore no obligation or duty to offer help for your fellow man in his time of need.

It also goes over the Amish concept of Rumspringa, where each young person is made (forced?) to move out of the community to experience modern life for one year, and he claims that 90% return to stay in their community. So in that sense there is an attractiveness to their arrangement and while I couldn't say it makes people more happy, it probably offers more fulfillment and maybe happiness as a side effect of that fulfillment. Essentially, the Amish operate on the idea that if a certain thing will tend to break down their social cohesion, they opt out, hence why they may have a landline phone in a central building, but not in every house, because they alternative means you have to talk to and get along with the people around you.

I wouldn't go so far to say 99% of people are made miserable, at least not at once, or all the time. But modern liberalism tends to create a sort of spiritual rot in society, because it operates on the wrong idea that everyone is (or should act as) an unconnected individual. Basically a rootless, deracinated, homo-economicus that shouldn't be limited by anything regarding the circumstances of their birth. But you can't actually do that IRL, because all the things liberalism tries to make irrelevant are central to a healthy human identity.

Take Canada, where I live (hurr hurr a Leaf). We're liberal as fuck, and most people here have been ideologically taken over by American style liberalism. The CBC routinely complains that few if any people read Canadian authors anymore, for example, but the truth is, it's the perfect example of what liberalism does - it serves up pre-packaged one size fits all cultural junk food that displaces a lot of the organic local culture that can't compete. We don't really have a positive sense of self anymore, aside for rabid anti-Americanism, which means people generally opt for materialism or owning a home for fulfillment, rather than developing and defending our own culture and people. We have lower birth rates, higher use of anti-depressants, but also have higher consumer debt loads. Any time I venture in to the cities, like Toronto, the vibe is creepy AF. Like a aggressive rat race in insane traffic to consume or get to work and just run on a hedonic or status seeking treadmill. I don't get that sense nearly as much in rural areas closer to/in nature. Sorry for the rant, but it's all so tiresome.
