same demographic as the RBG book

>>20184625
Probably my therapist. He unironically enjoys Trevor Noah.

>>20184635
wtf

>>20184625
that's a man.

>>20184635
Why is your therapist telling you what shows he enjoys?

>>20184660
my female therapist talks about herself throughout most of my sessions. The other day she was telling me about how her ex-husband cheated on her openly for months

>>20184663
>The other day she was telling me about how her ex-husband cheated on her openly for months
How the fuck is that supposed to help you with your problems?

>>20184635
How can anyone take advice from someone who has such shit taste?

>>20184625
My mother.

>>20184663
Change therapist, this one is making you pay to act as her therapist.

>>20184625
vapid, unskilled, unremarkable people with boring lives who want to be able to seem (both to others, and to themselves) to be more cultured and thus more interesting than they actually are

they want a glimpse at this person who gets held up (in the version of the world that they see) as a great, wonderful icon
they think, "maybe I can discover and then emulate some of whatever it was in her life that made her great"
and, if not, then they'll at least have a better grasp of the topic that is just fucking "aristocrat worship," and so they'll be able to share facts and anecdotes and """""insights""""" that they learned from the book with their friends
and when you tell your friends something that you knew but they didn't, then you look smart

>>20184635
>>20184663
are you memeing, or are you actually wasting your money on this?
anon, you're not secretly hoping to fuck her, are you?

>>20184625
I suspect a lot of people read books like this so they can feel more in tune with the zeitgeist. It's like someone today reading Uncle Tom's Cabin, not because it isn't shit, but because it was part of the 19th century zeitgeist.

>>20184660
There's been a couple passing remarks about Trevor Noah that stood out to me bc I can't stand him.
>>20184672
>>20184694
I absolutely do not see eye to eye with my therapist on everything and I think that's fine. I'm not there to be deradicalized. My therapist treats me with respect and routinely incorporates Aristotle / Aquinas into our discussions. He points out blind-spots that I have in a way that isn't condescending or arrogant, and if I disagree I have no difficulty saying so. I'm not there to discuss politics, the evils of Vatican II , or pop culture, I'm getting myself sorted out and he's been really helpful. I've made tremendous progress in the time that I've been seeing him.

>>20184625
Will reading this truly turn me into Michelle Obama?

>>20184835
Are you a man? That's a good start.

>>20184663
hahaha what a terrific grift she's got going, absolute Chadette.

>>20184823
>He
you said it was a woman earlier

>>20184853
NTA, anon.

>>20184663
She wants you desu! But maybe just as a friend.

>>20184889
>She wants you desu
are there any contemporary stories of lady psychs falling in love with one of her clients and running away together? Seems like women would eat that shit up.
>be woman
>be smart, thoughtful (lol)
>marry someone you feel like you settled for
>be psychologist
>husband becomes cold and distant
>One day Chad Thundercock walks into your office
>Rough around the edges but willing to work on himself
>fall in love
>blows your back out
>decide to leave husband and frolic through fields with Chad.
I can think of multiple roasties who would read that

>>20184625
my mom, we live in eastern europe

>>20184625
Geez I wonder... who could possibly be the demographic who has female role models and skews towards liberal politics which is reflective of their passive-aggressive and consensus based approach to socializing... hmmm.
Geez, who are the demographic who buy dozens of shoes, and carry a pair of flats in their bag so they only need to wear heels part of the night, hmmm?

My brother. He is a London dwelling homosexual in PR. He is a staunch Blairite Labour voter. He spends most of his money and time in cocktail bars and the new restaurant. He went to an Oxbridge college and moved into the city for his job. His friendship circle is full of interior designers, lawyers, barristers, PR people, spin doctors, finance people, etc. He is extremely conscientious and academic, yet his opinions are easily the most conformist I have ever encountered. He worships the ground that people like Obama, Merkel, and Blair walk on. He believes literally everything that mainstream media tells him. He even told me once that the media were "guardians of truth" and would not accept that he does not trust Bezos for information and this he is a suspicious character and yet would trust the Bezos-owned newspapers like the Washington Post. He is a Guardian reading, crossword completing, contemporary theatre production attending, BLM supporting, Pride flag waving, garden party attending, pottery collecting, atomized, urbanite, consumerist bug man, and he is always toting around the "important book" of the month. And he owes me fucking money, the bastard.

>>20185096
>And he owes me fucking money
I'm shocked

>>20185096
A Guardian reading Blair-rite? Surely that's mildly contradictory. The Guardian was one of the most ardent critics of Blair. It's one of the very few things I respect them for.

>>20184835
Yes, I read it 3x and I am now Michelle Obama

>>20185050
Why are you wondering it's pretty obvious lol

>>20185096
on some level it must be nice to be this comfortable and bluepilled

>>20185186
Have you met NPCs? They are concerned with mainstream opinion. Guardian is leftie mainstay, Blair/New Labour is Moderate Left default. Radical Left would be too thought provoking for those types. Having said that I am a little harsh, he reads other less openly biased papers, I just summed up his character in that phrase for impressions sakes. Those other papers are not too challenging to mainstream narratives though.

>>20185175
Why do you say that?

>>20185273
Oh yes, he seems really rather happy. I am the embodiment of the apocalypse face peeling wojak.

>>20184625
My Mom

>>20184625
women, polisci students, journalists
so in short women

>>20184663
Holy kek, you should be charging her

>>20184625
People who get paid to review it. I'm convinced maybe half of those who buy it never read it.

>>20184625
mothers buy it to put on a shelf to show their political orientation
some of them might even read it too

My Aunt here in Europe bought the book for whatever reason.

>>20184625
Overrated books like this are for the women folk

>>20184625
I think if she was flipping off an American flag with the hand by her face instead the cover would be more accurate.

>>20185096
there are far too many such types in London
i often wish that a plague would come upon us such that they would be made to suffer, even if it meant that i, too, would suffer

>>20185218
Big burly working class men who like to be left alone?

>>20185096
You’d think a homosexual would be more suspicious of the media considering the way it treated homosexuals for the past hundred years

>>20184635
you should give him therapy

>>20185556
These people are not self aware enough. He thinks he is oppressed overall. The whining about gay biopics with a straight actor for exaple. The lack of self awareness, like nigga, you rule Hollywood lmao. The media is beloved by him and the like BECAUSE they are mainstream now. They get to larp as victims thanks to recent history, and then be comfortably in the mainstream thanks to being media darlings.

>>20185536
This. I wish for the return of the Nazarene each and every day. I am not even sure he is God or not, I am agnostic, but given the chance, I would absolutely ask for it even if it meant my own demise.

>>20184625
People who want to become Michelle Obama

>>20184625
middle aged middle class overweight american women

>>20184625
My parents gifted me this book. I don't know why. Im not even a fag

>>20184635
ask him if he enjoys cuckolding

>>20184663
what a piece of shit. you need to slap her.

Am I the only one who thinks that therapy is a scam? There’s something off-putting about revealing the inner workings of my mind to some retard with a college degree and a couch. I’d rather just bottle it all up or fuck a hooker like a real man.

>>20185096
The Giga Normie is real

>>20185872
A hooker is a better use of your money, certainly

>>20185096
What's wrong with crosswords and pottery?

Am I the only one who reads the title as "Becoming Michelle Obama"? Like it's the story of her transitioning?

>>20185915
Nothing, but put all that together and paint a picture and you will know the man well. What type of guy goes to snap up some mid-century pottery at a local antique reclamation place on his Sunday off, rather than being racist on the internet?

>>20185895
Someone should do a black and white Giga Normie edit. At least he isn't the other type of normie, the "I fucking love Science" redditor with a hard on for the next marvel movie.

>>20185952
You have a sister with a penis, and I'm only guessing on the penis part.

>>20185965
Yes, he is a homosexual and I am told a bottom too, so absolutely just a girl. Although I don't know of many girls that are that fiercely wedded to Blairite New Labour politics and Guardian op-eds. They hobbies match, but not the more serious stuff.

>>20184663
ignore people telling you to swap therapists, theyr all fake. just quit alltogether. its all bullshit. just go to the gym and eat healthy.

>>20185906
Spending an hour with the one on the right would do more for my mental health than an hour with a therapist

>>20184635

the rapist

americans literally pay people to talk to them

>>20185952
>rather than being racist on the internet?
Jewluminati has got us good

>>20184625
Your ma

>>20186175
More like to listen to them. Are people in the rest of the world this obsessed with talking about themselves?

>>20184635
>he

>all these strong opinions about somerhing you never read
normbot pleb board confirmed

>>20185096
I feel like this is the opening paragraph of a book. I’d read it.

>>20184625
My mom. I gave it to her for christmas.

>>20185096
have you ever asked him why he worships a war criminal

>>20187643
Thanks man, came off the cuff but I am proud of it.

>>20187682
I have. He told me he standardised age of consent, meaning gays were no longer required to wait till they were 18 as aoc here is 16. I told him his allegiances were bought very very cheaply.

>>20186175
I dunno mr. Euro trash what do you do in your freetime? Fuck male migrants?

Gays and women have zero self awareness when it comes to politics. I don't think taking away women's right to vote is enough. The gays should have theirs taken too.

>>20185096
I also feel like this could be a fun passage for a book.

>>20185906
Why are fat-assed Asians so magnificent? Their faces aren't even all that, but I want to raw dog them all.

>>20185952
Someone less rancid and narcissistic than you?

>>20188200
nothing about me that fits either of those words, I am sweet as apple pie.

>>20188128
thanks, second recommendation I put it in a book form, very pleased.

>>20184625
>doesn't include Barack personally torturing detainees in Gitmo, while Michelle flicks the bean from the corner
>doesn't include railing lines of coke with her daughters, and hooking up with their male friends
>doesn't include the details of "her" sex change operation, with full page picture of her dilator collection
>doesn't include the context for those pictures of Barack with Clooney on the boat with, what looks like, a little Asian girl
Why would I read this if the really juicy shit gets left on the cutting room floor?

When this book came out I worked at Target. We only received a limited supply for whatever reason. The store was in a nog infested area so it naturally sold out quickly. Near the end of my shift some old sheboon asked me when the "Obama book" was. I told her we were sold out. She said "Uh uh white boy, da website said tall had some. You go Inna back and finna find it for me!". I said ok and went into the back, took a 30 min shit, went to the front of the store via the back and clocked out. Fuck you.

>>20185096
Reads like a British version of a Mike Ma book. I'd actually pay money for another 150 pages of this

>>20184625

There is a large section of 30 to 65 years old, lightly educated white women who drink lots of wine, are addicted to Instagram/Facebook/Pintrest, and attend book clubs where they talk about how brave shit like this is and avoid thinking about how much they hate their lives and bad they need a good fucking.

When the lie is all you have, you will clutch it with fury.
