twitter has such little value, i dont understand how individuals can become involved in reading posts by such roasties.

This is how city-dwellers treat their friends: https://mobile.twitter.com/fyeahmfabello/status/1196551284914098177

I believe Emerson and Orwell have written essays that may explain this phenomena.

>Nature by Emerson
>Politics and the English Language by Orwell

city people are neurotic incels find a country girl be happy

>>14203458

>>14203449
Jesus Christ. Reading this makes me so damn sad. Talk about the third world all you want, this kind of shit would be laughed at relentlessly mocked. It's not even pathetic, at some point it just seems sad.

>>14203464
at least these are on topic conversations, on twitter you are seeking out outrage porn and reacting as a third party to people with a blue circle next to them. There are no similarities.

>>14203458
Suburban supremacy is only at its dawn. Country people are lonely and city people are reaching the point where they're truly and absolutely sick of themselves and sick of living in boxes. The 2020s are going to be dominated by the suburban strata and the housing market is going to explode

>>14203472
>city girls are used up whores
Thanks for the warning, I'll continue avoiding them.

>>14203482

>>14203449
I think the implication that someone could be so detached from nature that their words no longer have meaning, is hilarious. I don't remember if this is something I've concluded myself or if Orwell implied it somewhere.

This is what never having faced true struggle in life does to a person. I would argue that you find such (lack of) mentality most prominent in cities, as their structure allows for the development of weakness as a virtue.

>>14203426
The world is a clown and we are a septic and we live and die in it.

>>14203449
She's just neurotic, and I'm sure neurotic people exist outside of the city

>>14203492
The suburbs are still too dense. I feel suffocated by my housemates and by my neighbors. I would have to drive 40 minutes to get to the wilderness and escape these chaotic people. There should be AT LEAST a one minute walking distance between each house. I shouldn't be able to walk from one house to another in 10 seconds.

>>14203472
people closer to nature don't need to worship their cum reflex

Can we please contain American citizens to their own? We just build a Chinese-type censorship firewall and encircle the US, saving the rest of the world in the process.

>Society is a joint-stock company, in which the members agree, for the better securing of his bread to each shareholder, to surrender the liberty and culture of the eater. The virtue in most request is conformity. Self-reliance is its aversion.

>>14203426
Not literature

>>14203472
Its the opposite.
Backwater hicks have nothing to do all day, thats why you hear of the incest and stuff like cow tipping. They have very little other ways to pass the time than to have sex and play in mud.

>>14203449
>just another example of the consumer transaction replicating itself in every possible space, like a virus. this is such a disturbing thread

>American culture is poisoning the world. This is some horrific dystopia where people are incapable of conceptualizing love and must find a way to frame it as a mutually beneficial exchange

great takes

>>14203538
The rest of the world would bypass the firewall to absorb American pop culture since they're all absolutely fucking obsessed with it and America in general

>>14203548
And now we live in an era where people have surrendered even their own thoughts to the state and the companies that support it. People like the one in the OP are not free, in any sense of the word.

PhDs are not a average sub-sample of any group other than a group of PhDs. This is academia lunacy, not solely urban psychology.

This has nothing to do with living in a city and everything to do with spending years of your life surrounded only by feminist academics. You must realize that nearly everyone who lives in a city does not think or talk like this, right?

>the places where your lawn must be a certain height to avoid fines or avoid everyone around you hating you
Yeah that's never gonna fly. The suburbs are seriously just the worst of the city and the worst of the country.
You dont have the freedom of the country. You dont have the convenience of the city.
You don't have natural fresh scenery of the country.
You dont have the bright and bustling modern landscape of a metropolis.

City dwellers are some obnoxious fucks and have a weird superiority complex. Especially here in NYC and compared to other cities NY fucking blows desu

>>14203554
You do realize that rural areas have access to the same general technology, consumer goods, and entertainment media as anywhere else, don't you? Are urbanites really this clueless and solipsistic?

Overheard on 147th and Amsterdam yesterday:

Yo my nigga, I was hoping you had the mental and emotional capacity to help me deal with this bitch Aliyah.

This is what city life has done

>>14203584
>deltawave braindead normalfags
Yes. People. The majority of the population. Trying to differentiate them from yourself will not ease the reality of the problem.

>>14203592
That's the transplants. And bostonites.

>>14203596

Just shows the difference between networking, which you can do on the internet, and true COMMUNITY, which does not exist outside of human interaction.

>>14203608
Im offended you keep referring to this feckless scum as part of the human race, these "people" arent fucking sapient, they fucking shriek in terror and childish anger if you bring their mortality to their attention

>>14203596
Ahh the museums and nightclubs of Sneedville, Tennessee. How could I forget?

>>14203620
Yikes bro take a chill pill man!!!!!!

>>14203620
That is human nature. A majority of people never age beyond the emotional capacity of a child. To be able to comprehend ones mortality is a grave step on the road to enlightenment. To be able to live each day with the constant awareness of ones inevitable demise is close to godhood.

Human beings are fickle and frail. Never forget this.

do you know those zucc memes doing everyday fellow human things? its like that. and to finally put a rest to this 'incel' shenanigans. most journalists who even have the energy to be triggered by it are incels themselves. city deskworkers who are sexually frustrated fighting sexually frustrated neets. they are screaming at each other over the internet when in a different time they would be paired irl having literal sex.

>>14203627
Indeed, when me and my bros get bored we go hit up all the local museums. How do country people even exist?

>>14203662
Food thats not sloppy joes and roadkill, he means.

Please delete this thread. I did not give consent for the emotional labor that is required to read it.

>>14203687

There is a reason people choose suburbs to raise children anon.

Part of me want war, so that these people can learn to live in reality instead of inside their own heads. Part of me wants them to continue living and never learning, because surely existence must already be hell to them.

A third part of me simply doesn't care, in the same way that I don't care about the cow that was slaughtered to provide me with meat.

Not as long as physical violence is still a thing.

Why are anglos so evil? This is only in America and UK. It's this really privileged streak of evil. It's why we have liberalism. It's why we have materialism. I truly believe Anglos are the greatest evil the world has known, and I'm British myself. I have always observed the misery anglos cause. Even when it's not necessary, the Anglo will reach for misery at any time.

>>14203808
>babbys first existential crisis

>>14203815
No. You aren't getting it. In ww1, the Germans spread socialist propaganda and helped the Cossacks to cause a civil war and take Russia out of ww1. It is not about battle strategy but information exchange. That is why the Russians have bots on twitter. It is about information and misinformation changing public opinion.

These people are all insane

One thing is to be actually depressed and ask someone before you rant because you don't wanna feel like a bother. A second thing is to screencap it and post it on Twitter to signal how kind and empathetic you are.

These are unaware robots.

>>14203843
>It is about information and misinformation changing public opinion
That's just politics.

>>14203778
North eastern suburbs have been okay in my experience, you get the best of all worlds and usually not to far from the country or city. Midwest suburbs seem aeful though. No wonder theyre all on heroin

>>14203867
No. Things have changed since the turn of the 20th century due to technology making war retarded and pointless. Especially post cold war there can be no open physical war because of hydrogen bombs. It is a different world now. Even without hydrogen bombs people in the west simply would not be willing to go to war. The chinks are about the only people willing to go to war and even they don't like their government enough to do it even as bug people.

>>14203905
The seen sentiment in these societies are, of course, unwillingness to do war. But I assure you, beneath the surface, the thirst for enemy blood is there. War is as much inherent in human nature as sex is, and while modern people might be deprived of it, it doesn't change their longing.

I read this exchange and have to disagree with all of you. What I see there is the manner of expression of someone who has mature expectations for a) how others treat them and b) how they ought to treat others.
I will frankly admit that this way of talking about one's relationships with others is inredibly rare. But then, having enough selfawareness to understand what you need to be sane, in anotherwise insane world, is rare.

Yes, but we are after ww1. And ww1 changed the core of war. War isn't glorious anymore. No one wants to piss their lives away anymore. You are probably American and (they) have the education system gloss over wwi and go to wwii for much 6 gorillion but wwi absolutely changed what war means even to this day.

>>14204098
>It was radically different from wars before it.
No it wasn't. The Crimean war, the American civil war and the Spanish-American war are the true seminal wars.

Trench warfare, chemical warfare, maneuver warfare, modern logistics, armored vehicles, machine guns, indirect artillery, telegraphed orders, repeating rifles, side arms, abandoning usage of line infantry, etc.

The only "new" thing in WW1 was the introduction of the air layer of warfare.

>>14204220
>yuppie transplant girls

>>14204203
War was never glorious, and thinking that wars before WWI were rigid in their structure is ignorant. The introduction of new siege machines, new types of armor, new ranged weapons, and so on, continuously changed warfare throughout history. Only difference between then and now is scale and scope.

Also schools in the city are actually segregated according to inteligente. Look up the whole debate about all the specialized high schools in new york city being ruled by asians and how the mayor is trying to lower the bar of entry so more minorities can get in.

This would be the first step to containing the effect of American pop culture in the world. American media is the original destructive immigrant, it carries something way worse than crime, diseases and poverty with it. It destroys everything. Instead of sending poor immigrants the US sends Michael Jackson in order to destroy countries: it is both cheaper and less of a PR tragedy to do so.

Detroit is the future american city, as water becomes more scarce water bills will make dense urban life even more expensive. Rising coastline will make real-estate disappear, and when people realize they're next they'll either have to shill out even more money to protect the land, or accept that their precious real estate may be underwater in the next 100 years. Detroit is landlocked and has access to the great lakes for water.

Cities like NYC and LA rely on a metro system, and have congested roads. While Detroit is built around the car and has the infrastructure to transport about 2 million people on existing roads. As autonomous vehicles come into fashion, detroit will yet again be at an advantage.

As people see that uber-rich cities like NYC and LA are too expensive for the average citizen, mid-sized cities like detroit will yet again be in an advantaged position.

Detroit's long term outlook, over say the next 200-300 years is actually quite bright. Thoughts?

Google Phoenix

Man was made to do his daily work with his muscles; but see him now, like a fly on flypaper, seated for eight hours, motionless at a desk. Fifteen minutes of exercise cannot make up for eight hours of absence. The human being was made to breathe the good air of nature, but what he breathes is an obscure compound of acids and coal tars. He was created for a living environment, but he dwells in a lunar world of stone, cement, asphalt, glass, cast iron, and steel. The trees wilt and blanch among sterile and blind stone facades. Cats and dogs disappear little by little from the city, going the way of the horse. Only rats and men remain to populate a dead world. Man was created to have room to move about in, to gaze into far distances, to live in rooms which, even when they were tiny, opened out on fields. See him now, enclosed by the rules and architectural necessities imposed by overpopulation in a twelve-by-twelve closet opening out on an anonymous world of city streets.

I live in phoenix, what's up?

The American civil war was fought by one country. World war 1 was not the first war of its scale, however it was the first war of its scale fought in an era where war doctrine had already changed to be extremely bloody. By capita of soldiers fighting in the war, the American civil war was bloodier pound for pound.

At its peak, the Union army never even broke 700,000 men, the confederates barely fielded more than 300,000 men at their peak. Modern casualty estimates put the total deaths at 1,000,000 (which is equal to a single day of intense fighting in WW2)

There were about 10,000,000 dead in world war 1, with peak combatants numbering some several dozen million men on both sides simultaneously. It was a consequence of a war of scale (again, not the first to be fought)

>The only war before it that actually harkened to the change in technology was the Ruso-Japanese war.
Wrong. So very wrong. Go actually study the three wars mentioned, which were indisputably the actual foundation of industrialized warfare. The American civil war especially was one of the most technologically revolutionary wars fought. Every single strategic thought in WW1 was informed by the pioneering advancements made in these three wars, which explored these technologies and their effect on tactics and strategy half a century beforehand (Spanish-American war was more about tactical doctrine than technological)

>>14203485

Scale matters anon. It is the biggest feature of wwi and is why it is called wwi. It's where the 19th century style of war met the 20th century. Read about the first year of the war and you will see how unadapted the armies were. Tactically it changed the game. You did not have the type of walking artillery then, it wasn't perfected until the last year of the war. They didn't have gas shells until later in the war. They didn't have tanks or apcs until later in the war. They didn't know how to deal with the barbed wire until later. Fuck most of them didn't even have helmets and wore cloth caps until later in the war. If you think wwi didn't change the game you are pissing into the wind. The Americans were flying piece of shit jalopies when they showed up. They were still thinking war was like the 19th century and charging into barbed wire and machine guns worked.

The french looked like this when the war started.

I mean people might not want to hear it, but this is what over-science does to a people. When you reduce the entire world to some formula (i.e. “...can you x/y/z. This is important because of 1 and 2 and 3...”) and you completely disconnect people from nature, everything becomes a science including their own language and utter nonsense. Add to the formula some post-Christian, post-Democracy “everyone is equal and perfect all the time” always walk on egg shells morals and you get social justice warriors. Notice how it’s just a series of formulaic bullets and proofs to justify some hyper-individualist and sentimental moralistic extremes in place of genuine relationship and language. The mindset is obvious. It’s science applied to a specific set of morals and the experiment ends with cultural suicide once you look under the microscope long enough.

You're making an assumption about what timeframe I am talking about, and you insult me for it? For what purpose? Naturally I had assumed the time-frame doesn't need to be acknowledged, but it appears in lack of doing so, you have taken this basic axiom and assumed my own ignorance in order to attack me for it. It's incredibly poor form to assume that common knowledge axioms are somehow enigmatic and obscure, and that your opponent is ignorant of them. It reads like pretentious self-aggrandizement in the absolute worst way. The entire purpose of that post is to elongate and expand the scale at which you are thinking, and in this context. your rhetorical strategy is in extremely poor taste.

Anyways, let us return to the big picture. Even the lifespan of an entire culture is a tiny blip in the grand scheme of our history. Yet all of these are made of generations of minute changes, reversions, with a bias of increasing complexity, hence the reference to "generations". It is important to note that the process of adaptation is always happening, hence why it's important to count each successive generation. Your second assumption is that recent developments in culture are only bound to last for a few generations, and I think that's incredibly naive with no historical basis. If you could quantify your assertion, I'd be interested in hearing it.

>>14204494
That isn't what a lobotomy does, and those procedures were routinely criticized for the short time period that they were "popularized" by psychiatric hacks. What an absolutely pathetic post.

>>14204509
>Imagine what these "people" would become.
No matter what path our descendants take, I assure you with equal time passed you would find the result existentially horrifying by the very nature of its implications.

If the past hundred million years are extrapolated, physiologically I like to use the zeta reticulan of pop culture fame to provoke such thought. Hairless, androgynous bodies. Pale, unpigmented skin. Atrophied muscles, massive skulls in proportion to the rest of the body. Huge eyes and small mouths. The nose however may become more prominent, rather than less, as it is an important feature on humans.

Personally I believe that the grey alien could be a projection of the collective consciousness, a prescient image of what our distant children will look like. But I could never assert this as anything more than personal fictionalization of what is to be.

my ex acted just like this
whenever she was mad at me. she would leave me fucking sticky notes all over the house. she always played the fucking victim and if she ever made a mistake(like the one time she "forgot" to pick me up at the airport in my own car") "i dont live in the past anon"
ended it when she had the audacity to ask if i would consider a poly relationship with her. kicked her out of my house the next day. got subtweeted and shitted on by her on social media for months

Yes, but physical violence will only achieve the traditional goals of war on the small scale of special operations and limited applications of force projection via their navies and air forces. Modern militaries are more like technical bureaucracies than marching armies from the past, and physical force is now the scalpel instead of the sword.

Unironically the answer is better civic planning, more green spaces in cities. I live in the UK and moved to Norwich because it has expanses of marshland and wild forest casually dotted around the inner city due to a historical lack of redevelopment (it's one of those "not on the way to anywhere" places). The quality of life here is so much better than in my suburban hometown just an hour and a half away which is a hollow shell of a property development of a home.

That’s my point. “Bad” and suffering isn’t simply a case of stopping certain chemicals in people’s brains. Sometimes sadness is irrational or more complex. And it’s not a disease to be cured by medicine

I live in a small town currently (have lived in a megacity for almost a decade), but i feel that even in a small city, people from the city-center are more insufferable than those in the quiet parts. Those people think they are the elite, or something like that.

>>14205150
You reminded me of my coworkers. I am from a small town and go to a bigger city to work. My coworkers are preppy, self-centered children and these people are so afraid of stepping outside of their comfort zone, working hard or helping other people. You have to pull teeth from these kids to get them to do the bare minimum of the job they signed up for.

>nobody else works as hard as me, woah is me why am I the only one who follows the rules

>>14205297
>woah is me
Nowhere did I express self-pity. It's the people who hate working who pity themselves. "Ugh I have to work today, life is so terrible." It's this attitude that is destroying the middle class, destroying the white race, and allowing minorities to take your place. I wish these people would be less sad and pathetic, it would do good for all of us. Ultimately, I do all of this for myself. Maybe if you think about it hard enough you could imagine why somebody would want to bear responsibility and work harder. My coworkers give me similar responses that you people on 4channel do. It's as if nobody is able to comprehend why somebody would want to work hard. I will not mind watching the world burn, as long as I am able to protect my wife and children.

>>14205410
You seem to understand your world via a model that not only takes for granted the meaningfulness of trivially defined categories like "middle class" and "white race", but also posits very simple, trivial relationships between random things that you observe (most people are entitled and lazy, what else is new) and the alleged destruction of such categories. It's all too facile to be taken seriously.
And I apologize for the ad hom.

>>14205447
This is a lot of bullshit to ignore what he's saying. There is literally nothing wrong with finding it weird that your city is being replaced with immigrants.

It's not trivial at all, even assuming race and class meant nothing, they're entirely different cultures being mixed together. If you can't empathize with people not liking their homes transforming before their eyes from a culture they understood and belonged to to an alien mishmash of people who dont even seem to like each other then youre a bugman
