i just found out that i have to pay 25% of what i earned this year in taxes in one lump sum. all of my fucking savings. i'm going to buy a scratch ticket tomorrow and if i don't win i'm going to either become a vagrant or go to prison so at least my meals will be prepared for me. i fucking hate capitalism, protestants, and jews, the trinity of human evil so fucking much and i cannot coexist with them much longer.

by breed I meant actually pass on genetics. Raping thots isn't practical with birthcontrol and abortions abounding.

If I don't have something set up before doomsday (parents retire and move away leaving me homeless) I'm probably going to vagrant around for a while trying to seduce woman k selection style before becoming and absolute madman and living cozy in prison. I'll probably try to do it in a country like norway or some shit.

i'm honestly surprised "right to reproduce" isn't an issue in prisons.

If you're paying 25%, either you're making so much money that you really ought to not have to worry about a $1,000 tax bill or you don't know how to file taxes. You need a real tax guy, not turbotax or HR.

The NPC meme isn't actually a meme. Most people just passively accept what someone else builds for them. "Go to school, get a degree in X, now work 40 hours a week until you're 68.5 years old to maximize your retirement."

I don't buy the ego-stroking narrative about braindead normies. They obviously have a different constitution and orientation that allows them to be happy in difficult situations. This is advantageous. I define this as arete.

I suspect its essence is that they lack individualism/narcissism. This allows them to share conscience and overcome alienation through conformity.
