Kid, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
When you look back on the history of human civilization you realize that people felt “stuck” just like you feel stuck today. Only in hindsight do new developments make sense. Have a little faith

Got you covered king

YES, I am a cosmopolitan and internationalist
YES, I am college educated

YES, I believe the nation state is an obsolete model responsible for our dysfunctional world order, promotes division, emphasizes differences instead of building bridges and promotes the most crass forms of chauvinism
YES, I want everyone to be a global citizen
NO, I’m not a neoliberal or globalist, I believe in people
Any questions?

You have not broken through the pleb filter yet but perhaps one day you will.
You are on the right track at least.

I keep my journal in other people's heads. I tell them what I think and they can never forget its shocking or honest nature.

Everyone is saved after death. In the end even demons will bow before Christ.

Thinking the LORD's mercy & love can be resisted is the biggest nonsense I've ever heard.

Legends are true.

Dear mutts, chinks and vatniks,

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but the world hasn’t changed.
The age of superpowers is coming to an end. No longer will the big countries dominate and dictate to the small an de medium-sized countries. That’s Cold War rhetoric that is long outdated.
Everyone is catching up while you are declining, it’s no coincidence that you can’t assert your will effectively on others anymore.
I suggest you adjust to this new era, if you try to start wars with the third-world you’ll get your teeth kicked in by guerrilla warfare and we know you’re too chicken to start them with the first world since you know you stand a chance of losing.
I suggest you sit down, be humble and play nice, if you continue with your imperialistic ambitions you will plunge headlong into the catastrophe (demographic collapse, etc.)

Signed,
The rest of the world
