I tried to decolonize my book collection, but as a hispanoid, I couldn't get past my own self loathing and ended up imperializing new problematic books at my local bookstore.

Seeing hordes of these heaving, grotesque, paint-slathered beasts of white women pop up over the last few years has made me unironically dislike all white women. Even if they're cute I just fucking KNOW that they have some absolutely retarded shit to say. Even the uber-cutie book-waifu paperbackdreams is completely ruined for me. At this point I'm only attracted to Indian and Asian women. Haven't dated a White girl since high school and I honestly don't think I will again. I pretty much hate white people at this point. Not because of all of the seemingly horrible things that are being pinned on us, but because of the amount of boot-licking and pandering I see. These people are ultimately getting what they want (white hatred), but certainly not how they expected to get it.

my brother is a leftist and he unironically got a vasectomy when he was like 27 so that he could virtue signal to femenists. you're right, the liberal problem solves itself by promoting castration and discouraging procreation. I hope that by 2060 this entire fucking country is Mormons.

That's unfortunate.

I have a theory that no secular society can survive in the long run. Birthrates just drop too low, and religious cells within the society have so many kids that over time they replace the secular society with a religious one. Wait and watch; there will be a 3 child policy in China someday to combat this very thing.

Where was I supposed to making an argument in my long-winded diatribe? The gist of it is brown women > white women because the former still talk like humans and the latter make garbage-tier youtube videos about decolonizing your book shelf.

Nobody said they were. Not everything is an argument. Sometimes, we just want to talk about an issue by making personal observations rather than full arguments. It's not all that serious, but it's 4chan. It's not made to be "that serious."

There was a cute Indian girl at work who was (unbeknownst to me) really in to me and cried when I didn't go to a party that I said I might go to. I went back to uni a week later so I never got to patch things up. Maybe spilling spaghetti with cute Indians is a /lit/ thing...

>Also no arguments against decolonization yet.
Here's my argument: I don't care about the collective ego of non-white people. I will continue to read whatever I want however I want. If a non-white author wants my attention then they should write something I care about. If not they can die in a fire. I don't care about your feelings. Eat shit.
