I really need to get away from that site and all the braindead retards who use it. Browsing it is a really bad habit. I think JK Sama may straight up be the only person there I like.

It is another episode of everything I like is Christian and everything I dislike is non-Christian.

haha nigga what are on talking about. the lefty misrepresented Evola worse than all those Bannon articles from 2 years ago and you're saying the only reason someone could dislike them is because we pigeonholed them as "leftist"

This has to be a fabrication of your beliefs. There can't actually be a human being that is like this.

how do I stop being a writelet?

I can't even imagine how people write books. I can barely write a 4-page double spaced essay for college without feeling like I'm reaching so far up my own ass to pull out whatever words I can muster so that I can meet the page count minimum. how the fuck can people write hundreds, thousands of pages? how can they have THAT much to say about any one thing at all? and these people aren't even experts in anything, they're just regular people but they can write like they fucking invented the damn things. I just never understood that.
