I can't take it anymore
I can't even react anymore, slowly digging a deeper hole while doing nothing but letting my life and the world drag me

>>21508214
I firmly believe in the principles of individual liberty and personal responsibility. And as a person of faith, I also believe in the power of God to guide us on our path in life. To me, these two beliefs are not mutually exclusive. To me, these two beliefs intersect in the idea of laissez faire capitalism. The idea that every individual has inherent rights to life, liberty, and property.

You see, capitalism is a system of choice. It is a system in which individuals are free to make their own decisions about how to use their resources and talents, and to pursue their own goals and aspirations. It is a system in which people are free to succeed or fail based on their own efforts and abilities.

And what could be more in line with the principles of God than the idea of free will and personal responsibility? After all, isn't God the ultimate source of all freedom? did he not give us the ability to make our own choices, and to take responsibility for the consequences of those choices? Indeed, what makes moral choices moral is that they are what they are, choices. And did he not create us in his image? In creating man in his own image, did he not give man the gifts of creativity also?

So when I look at free market capitalism, I see a system that reflects the values and principles of God. A system that allows people to fully express their God given talents and abilities, and to use them to improve the lives of others. Indeed, it is a system that aligns with the golden rule to "love thy neighbor as thyself" by recognizing that when we take care of ourselves, we are better equipped to help and serve others. So in short, capitalism and my faith in the Lord are inseparable. Free market capitalism is not only the most practical system because it is the most efficient, but the most moral one as it enables things to be the way God intended, giving me and every individual as a whole the ability to choose. surely, it is no coincidence that communism, the antithesis of capitalism, has implimented mandatory athiesm in every major country it was in. It is because communism is an enemy of the Lord, and the Lords enemies are my enemies also.

I lost my larpring capabilities. I’m suffering so intensely and having anxiety because I can’t larp as anything. When I could larp as an identity, I was so much more happier and the anxiety was almost gone.

I really find it difficult to get behind any darwinism driven theories or concepts, same with genetics in general. It's just so dehumanizing. I'd rather be the ignorant fag who doesn't care about any of that than be so invested in data and numbers that i'd base my entire decision making process on them. Is that cowardice? Or delusion? Maybe so. I prefer intuition.

>>21508531
Why can't you larp? Did you suddenly grow self-awareness?

How the fuck can even dumb wine aunts watch this and not realize how weird this is? Do they literally not even remember being anti-CIA, anti-government a decade ago? How can you hate the CIA for 20 fucking years and then flip around and they're the good guys

How could ANYONE ever think these groups are the good guys, for that matter? They're some of the most universally despised people in history, except the FBI does actually do useful work stopping crimes sometimes which I have personally witnessed. But the CIA? How in the fuck did they get liberal facebook moms to be pro CIA

>>21508584
Constant psyops, but also the hippies of yesteryear were never anti-authoritarian.

>>21508595
Didn't they at least think they were? I knew lots of people who, if they knew anything from their Jon Stewart politics, knew they hated the government's enforcement arms.

Also Tucker just mentioned anarcho-tyranny again. I can't believe there's someone so prominent pushing Samuel Francis talking points on national TV.

This week I fucked my neighbor and her friend who are over 20 years younger than me. Once word got around that I’d fuck young girls I’ve been killing it. I guess girls do love older guys and mature faster

I really like reading translations of literature from around the world. I've seen others online harshly criticize translations, but I find them so enjoyable and interesting.

>>21508619
Of course they believed and still believe that they are anti-authoritarian. There's an interesting dynamic going on where the ruling class has managed to fool the world into thinking that they are part of the rebels fighting against the supposed individuals that are "really" in control. The average normie supports the same movements espoused and funded by billionaires and mega-corporations. They protest as "anti-establishment anarchists" while running a subreddit to find and report anyone that protested at capitol hill to the FBI. They receive billions in support globally from transnational organizations and individuals like George Soros[1] despite believing that they are fighting against him. They believe that their views are "radical" and "revolutionary" despite the fact that what they espouse is positively viewed by the majority of the media, supported by movements that aren't controversial anywhere except 4chan, and they have many academic supporters that do not go under controversy.
The reason they can continue to believe that they are radical anarchists and revolutionaries despite the fact that they are the most violent and aggressive supporters of the system they claim to oppose is because of effect psychological operations. There are two types of leftist "radicals":
>1. The retards
These are your wine aunts, street niggers, weed-smoking faggot whites, and affluent white female liberals. They have been entirely propagandized to believe that the current political climate is one of White Billionaires vs. Everyone else. They may believe that Democrats are the party of the people and Republicans are MUH HECKIN' FASCISTS or they might think that Democrats are the lesser of two evils. In either case, the results of their actions are effectively the same. Regardless of their revolutionary views, all of their actions result in support of the neo-liberal billionaire class and work to destroy the opposing middle class white structure.
>2. The semi-intelligent useful idiots
This would be represented by people like Vaush. They may fully understand that all major political parties are entirely controlled by billionaires, yet they still believe in the MUH HECKIN' FASCISTS CONTROL EVERYTHING FROM THE SHADOWS vs. CONTROLLED OPPOSITION GROUPS THAT WE CAN HECKIN' TAKE OVER AND TURN INTO REAL OPPOSITION.
People like Vaush believe that while they are being supported with FULL FORCE by the neo-liberal establishment, they believe that this is only incidental and hinges on a few social issues. They hope that they can support controlled opposition groups like AOC and the small socialist faction within parties like the DNC until it grows to the point that the elite can no longer control it.

>>21508975
People like Vaush end up supporting the DNC and international neo-liberal elite in the exact same ways as The Retards mentioned above, although for different reasons. They do this because they believe that the growth and takeover of the supposed alternative (MUH HECKIN' NAZIS THAT ARE ALSO CAPITALISTS) would be worse than the status quo, and so they believe, fundamentally, that they are in a "temporary alliance" with the neo-liberal elite.
They are fools.

[1] The vast majority of small antifa chapters DO NOT RECEIVE DIRECT FUNDING and they ARE NOT AWARE THAT THEY ARE BEING SUPPORTED. The antifa individuals going out and smashing windows do not understand that they are useful idiots acting as an unwitting paramilitary for the billionaire class.

>>21508975
>>21508985
The future will be marked by two groups:
>1. A non existent "MUH HECKIN' FASCISTS" that control everything from the shadows and seek to HECKIN' DESTROY THE PROLETARIAT
and
>2. The neo-liberal elite that pretends to be the party of the people, always JUST on the verge of being defeated by MUH HECKIN' FASCISTS
All people, everyone everywhere will believe that they are rebels fighting against MUH HECKIN FASCISTS. Rebellion, of course, will consist of fighting as hard as one can for the current establishment.

On a scale from 1 to 10 how lame is it to talk in a dublin accent without being irish just because it's entertaining and out of love for the way it sounds? I've successfully duped several people into believing that I was Irish, which is quite funny to me. It also suits the way I pronounce words in my native language, especially R's, which makes it less straining on my tongue than if I was doing a generic midwest accent.

I think it’s all within the remit of your own liberty lad, might be able to add a little bit of legitimacy to the whole affair by having actually lived in Ireland for a while, I knew somebody that faked an English accent daily while living in England, all because his original accent rubbed the locals the wrong way I ‘spose

I smoked weed again for the first time in over a year and god damn have I been having dreams again. Whenever I drift in and out of sleep I can palpably see and feel a barrage of images and characters pouring into my brain.

For reference, it feels like this:

Keep your wits about you, the whole place wants to rob you of whatever they can take.

>>21509248
I never had any episodes per se, but once being a semi-regular smoker I can tell you it took me down weird paths. I started reading a lot of books about symbolism and dreams, and it seemed to cause a feedback look (confirmation biases, call it), wherein I swore that I was getting closer to some divine truth. Maybe I was, but I can certainly say those weren't very productive years of my life. Looking back, NONE of the people I once smoked weed with went on to do anything interesting with their lives except show each other conspiracy memes from tiktok.

I’m still listening for you, God. The bitter wind chill of silence has sliced and chapped my taut, dried soul for days, weeks, months too long. Will I ever come up from the waters to breathe divine air? Will my lungs stop burning? Or is the abyss my home, not the one I was lead to believe was promised to me from eternity? I’m still listening for you, God. But I don’t know how long.

>>21509274
shut up you geeky faggot, you just smoked some weed, it's no big deal. if you can't handle it, just don't do it anymore.

>>21508581

Today in class my professor corrected me that 'aria' was not pronounced the same as 'area'. He then made some smarmy comment about the quality of my writing. my face turned bright red and some people laughed. ive never been more embarrassed. i needed this guy to like me so i could get a letter of recommendation for graduate studies. but now i feel mortified. i hate this man. i want to kill him. Yet I love him. its a torturous position. But this is more than just vanity its life and death. The world outside my college gates has thrown itself to the dogs. THere is constant war. if I do not get into graduate coursework I will be doomed. I would pleasure this man to get in. But now that its on full display how little he thinks of me not only as a person but as an academic. I need to kill myself

Yes this is a big redpill that a lot of dissident types need to keep in mind. The vast majority of feds are not aware of their department's nefarious activities. They may be even less aware due to effective internal propaganda.

You're ngmi in grad school, you have no idea how sociopathic and childish professors are, they're basically teenagers who never had to grow up because they failed upwards into positions of infinite power over teenagers who beg for their approval and laugh at their bad jokes every day for 50 years. You can't go into that as a weak willed pussy desperate for approval or you will end up being broken and remade in the image of some manchild or womanchild who doesn't even understand what she's doing because they've simply never not experienced negative consequences for pushing people 1/4 their age around in a creepy way.

After all the fools crying wolf about GPTX I just wanted to try to get some niche erotica out of it. It straight up cannot do it now matter how much I torture the prompts or write half of it for it. It can neither keep a storyline straight nor dilate time enough to not have a storyline by relevant. It also tries to turn anything even vaguely violent or sexual into a police procedural within a few paragraphs.
I didn’t feel any threat from it before and I certainly don’t now.

>>21510512
None

>>21510512
Greatness is something knowable only through the eyes of History. History's keepers, whoever they may be in the future, will decide that. Today's greats may fade into obscurity; the unknowns may pave the path to the future... or be thought to have paved it in the future.

although I think the target audience for this kind of rhetoric is aging fast into their mid 30s and early 40s, and they're gonna know soon or already that they don't actually have any reason to have any political thoughts or actions and just focus on different ways to make jam and pickle vegetables and stuff (most of them probably don't have kids).

Mid-30s here. Sounds just about right, except I'm just quietly working a dead-end job, reading, and writing. My girlfriend and I don't want kids, so you've got me pretty well and pegged. The older I get, the more apathetic I become. Young people are full of energy for change but are accompanied by emotion which makes them irrational, at all points on the political sphere. Young people are more susceptible to picking their political team and rooting for it, which makes politics more like football hooliganism than it resembles any process of which I'd want to be a part. I'm just diligently investing my money, writing, working, and saving up to get a smol house in the woods. I'm almost there. The rest of you guys can do what you want with this world. I've never really fit into it anyway.

This is true. If you consume pop culture, their hooks are in you and you are now attached to the system that is poisoning you.

Is there any literature on how to fix high crime, majority-minority cities like Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, and Philadelphia?

>>21508584
They’re not stupid. You are, for not realizing that it’s as simple as them seeing who is advancing the ball for their team. Liberals never opposed the CIA as a matter of principle. They opposed the CIA because it was an state organ with a lot of power that didn’t seem to act in their interests…but between the 1970s and 2010s, the CIA switched up and started pushing what progressives want. If the CIA morphed into an FSB-style state aristocracy, liberal democrats would care at all as long they still fly pride flags on their headquarters.

>>21510527
Yes, but what's the point of it? I see so many people go on about "what's the point of being alive if I'm never going to be a great writer" or the like. The concept of greatness only seems to bring people pain. Great people don't go out with the intention to be great, they just are through circumstance.

>>21510748
I've been learning a little bit about this man today, got me thinking about him.

>Little is known of his life before his conversion to Islam.[7] Abu Dharr is said to have been a serious young man, an ascetic and a monotheist even before he converted. He was born to the Ghifar clan, found to the western south of Medina.[8] Abu Dharr was apparently typical of the early converts to Islam, described by Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri as "young men and weak people".[9] They were a part of the Ghifar clan of the Banu Bakr ibn Abd Manat tribe, part of the Kinana tribes, which also included the Quraysh tribe of Muhammad. Popular accounts of Abu Dharr[10] say that his tribe lived by pillaging caravans, but that he preferred to live a poor but honest life as a shepherd. Having heard the contention that a new prophet had arisen in Mecca, Abu Dharr and his brother travelled to Mecca to find the prophet. The young seeker converted instantly and rushed out to declare his new faith in front of the Kaaba, which at that time was a pagan temple. He was beaten for his religious belief. He did this three days in a row, after which the Islamic prophet Muhammad told him to return to his clan, where he taught his people about Islam. He and his tribe then joined Muhammad after the Hijra, or migration to Medina in 622 CE.

>Muhammad once said that "the sky did not spread its canopy on any man who was more truthful than Abu Dharr."[11]

Apparently the uncle of Muhammad, name of Abbas, shielded Abu Dharr as he was being beaten in the Kaaba by telling the assailants that this was a man of the Ghifar, who straddle the lands of your trade routs (meaning: if you kill him your caravans are all going to robbed to hell and back). Pretty cool story.

>>21510777
I agree. While that burn for greatness certainly does occasionally create exceptional success (I worked with many athletes researching my doctoral thesis — many detest training and everything except the feeling of winning), fulfillment becomes then completely predicated upon that success. Some contemporary "greats" become that way almost incidentally to their burning passion for that which preoccupies their attentions. I think it's best to develop a passion, personally. If "greatness" doesn't come during your lifetime, one of these two motivations will probably lead to intense regret; the other can likely die happily knowing they spent a lifetime doing the thing they loved.

I think a drive to greatness is often counter-productive.

turns out that alcohol doesnt bring any hidden creativity to me. oh well.

Why the fuck should marxists even care about others calling liberals leftist, who themselves identify as left-wing? What stupid reason do they have to claim the word? It makes no sense from an etymological standpoint nor is there anything inherent in the word "leftist" that specifically only applies to them, even from the historical context. It's retarded

I’m considering a master’s degree just because I’m bored, can afford it, and have already spent the last few years working in research for a university anyway.

>>21511146
I think that more hardline commies have always felt that socdems are rats, who effectively serve the capital owning class by compromising, thus working against the final revolution. I doubt there are many commies like that left though.

>>21511146
Marxists fancy themselves vanguards of the lowest rungs of the exploitation ladder so in their eyes, everything else is fascist exploitation. The death blow for them was when liberal-capitalism co-opted Marxist philosophy to make it about woke stuff. The real Marxists failed to beat them to Latinx transsexuals so they lost and this is all moot.

>>21510816
I imagine the guy who does the chorus on this is sincere in a way that has always terrified me to my core. I don't know why. I think it might be because I can't manipulate people like that, which scares me. I don't know what they want. That and because I think they are truth-sayers. Maybe they will unveil my shtiq. I don't know though.

I don't believe in climate change, evolution, womens' rights, 9/11, the holocaust, the Enlightenment, or covid vaccines.

>>21511541
I will be honest, anon, since there is no point in lying to you. It is decent, there is nothing terrible or exceptional about it. From what little you posted i can deduce they appear to be an order of Witcher-Knights, there was no personality revealed. Nothing. I think many people get the wrong idea that interesting world-building is sufficient to maintain interest, it sadly is not. There needs to he conflict, nobody will read a single page otherwise.

Maybe if you post more i am proved wrong. As it is there are hundreds of thousands, millions or more, of young men writing exactly the same stuff. It is boring.

>>21511383

>>21511584
Thank you. I'm phone posting right now, so I'll post a bit more later. There is conflict. But do I really need someone dying immediately in the first 3 sentences?

>>21511621
Conflict isnt just fighting. It can be anything that puts the character at odds with the world they are in.

A cop with a coke problem.
A cowardly knight
A Knight of Valora that secretly works for a Lich's cult.

It can be anything, the more the better. That is what keeps people turning pages. Simple combat does nothing either, there must be a reason maybe the cultist lost a child or loved one and the Lich has promised them reunification, perhaps the precious gem the knight holds is the phylactery for her child's soul.

Conflict brother, add some. Add it where you see it working.

>>21511650
>A Knight of Valora that secretly works for a Lich's cult.
Ah! how did you figure that out that fast? That was supposed to be a twist in the story!

A good diet and frequent mental and physical exercise. But that would do it, obviously in the short amount you posted one can not assess your story. But i would encourage you to make it more obvious than you mean to, readers typically do not pick up ob subtly in writing m, it needs to be obvious, have her looking at an amulet of a lost child, watching children play with teary eyes. We are dense and will assume things are included just to pad out a chapter.

Hope it goes well anon, good luck.

Tomorrow I am going to send in a 30x Nebula Genomics DNA kit and write down my login information in a book with instructions to subject copies of myself in the future to a preferred range of permanent transformation fetish scenarios.

It is probable I will be homeless again soon, and dead within a short period of time afterward, so I won't be able to take it back. I have lived in terror these past few years at the thought of being brought back wrong by post-singularity AI. But I have realized that my best defense against this is providing more information, not less, even if the chances are high that there will be undetectable and irremediable data manipulation. I still want there to be some version of me in the future even if it's a ridiculous monstrosity. I guess I am just vain and incoherent.

Anyone else here not like traveling because they enjoy their life where they are? I have some friends who want me to visit them in a different state but honestly instead of flying out that weekend and hanging with them I’d rather go to work and do my normal weekend plans.

Worst part is I said I would try and come, so now they’re expecting me.

Nope being a teacher lets me write my books.

He didn't feel depressed. He didn't feel much of anything at all. Really, he thought, it was a damn sight better than it used to be. Life expectancy for his grandfather had been 50. He had it easy. Or hard. Again, it was dependent upon your point of view. What was the point of living so long past your prime that the cold seeped into your bones with such frightening ease?
Frightening. That was the word. He had long since shed his childlike fear of most things. Nothing scared him. Nothing except death. The unknown void into which all humans must eventually walk. Yes, his day would come, just like it had for everyone before him. It would probably come for everyone after, but he wasn't certain. If there was one thing you could confidently be uncertain of, it was the future.
The future, he mused. It all comes back to the future. Dwelling on the past does no good because you can't change it. Thinking about the future is futile because you can't predict it. Living in the present is foolish because it's irresponsible. So the only sensible course of action was to hedge your bets and hope for the best, while preparing for the worst.
The worst hadn't come, not yet, but it might.
He was frightened of that.

Just extremely generic and does not reach out to me at all. You need something to draw readers in, especially in this age of instant gratification where everyone carries around phones with 200gb worth of entertainment stored on them. The opening is the most important part of any book, as it usually determines whether or not people continue reading.

Shadow had done three years in prison. He was big enough and looked don't-fuck-with-me enough that his biggest problem was killing time. So he kept himself in shape, and taught himself coin tricks, and thought a lot about how much he loved his wife.

>wow I wonder who this guy is and why he's in prison and what's going to happen to him

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

>wow I wonder what hobbits are and why they live in holes

The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.

>wow I wonder who the man in black is, who the gunslinger is, why they are in a desert, and why he is following him (in my opinion this is one of the best openings ever written)

He had many names. Although yet to reach his thirtieth year history had seen fit to garner him with titles aplenty: Sword of the Realm to the mad king who sent him to plague us, the Young Hawk to the men who followed him through the trials of war, Darkblade to his Cumbraelin enemies and, as I was to learn much later, Beral Shak Ur to the enigmatic tribes of the Great Northern Forest - the Shadow of the Raven.

But my people knew him by but one name and it was this that sang in my head continually the morning they brought him to the docks: Hope Killer. Soon you will die and I will see it. Hope Killer.

>do I even need to say anything? this is a nigh on flawless opening

>>21512776
In my estimation your opening line reads more like the start of a new chapter in a book I'm already reading, as opposed to the start of a new book, if that makes sense. There is also too much focus on detail for an opening, when a reader will first be getting used to your prose. Is it really necessary to describe every minute aspect of the scene? It's fantasy and they are hunting a lich. Therefore you can logically assume they are outside. The dry branches snapping confirms this. The moonlight is a nice detail to add as moonlight usually confers a sense of mystery and awe in people. Random berries staining armor, mud caking boots, not so much. Sometimes less is more. You have to remember that usually it is the reader that does most of the work. They take the gaps you leave and fill them with the unbridled power of their imagination. They can literally see and feel the branches and the moon, and anything else they feel inspired to conjure up as you set the scene. If you describe nearly every aspect of what's happening, then there's nothing left for the reader to occupy their minds with. It becomes boring and dull. You cannot compete with the ever shifting tides of the imagination. Also you have to keep up the pace. Nothing really happened in 11 sentences, just exposition dump. Not what I would recommend.

It reminds me of Eragon. Read this and compare it to yours as I believe it does a good job of setting a similar scene, introducing interesting concepts, and pacing itself well to keep the reader's attention. Then again an entire prologue is hardly comparable to the excerpt you posted.

It's possible things are getting better with my mom. No one in my family knows me at all, but we've almost started talking.. we may have started talking more sincerely. I'm 31. She has to understand by now that she truly knows nothing about me other than what she has learned in the last two weeks. She insists that she loves me. I don't believe her. I'm sure no one else in my family does. She makes nebulous references to having gone through fire for me. Possible she has. Possible she has just gone through fire and she tacks on "for you" because she has to have something to say for the fact that she doesn't love me and hasn't cared about me. Things might get better with her. But I just came home from celebrating her birthday with the family and I so, so deeply hate spending this time with them. I come away from there thinking I want to kill every single one of them. I just don't know.. I don't know if she gets anything of what I'm saying to her, even now. I think the best thing that can happen is that I can understand what it is I want from them so that I can discard that hope, finally. I do not understand my feelings as it is, but I do know I have not been able to trust any of them and I hold them all in contempt. Very much so. I don't really think I exist to any of them. Maybe a little bit to my mom now. We'll see.

Motherly and fatherly love is probably the most absurd thing in existence. On a non-biological standpoint, it doesn't make sense to love someone unconditionnally all their life. Okay, it's easy to love your baby or your seven year old kid who adores you, but what about loving your 30 year old scruffy and rude kid who is like a stranger to you? I have barely interacted with my parents after the age of 10 and I'm absolutely convinced they would trade their lives to save mine if they had the choice. Why is family love seemingly everlasting and above logic? If the answer is biology, it feels so damn cheap. What's the point of getting on high horses and being proud of loving your children if the only love you have towards them has been programmed into your brain? It's like some kind of wet robot being proud of accomplishing the most basic it's been given. I myself am a victim of this. It's so damn infuriating that 'loving' is really never something you choose. Loving your kids being the norm means no one actually deserves to be loved since it's just something you've been born with if you had normal parents. Even the worst motherfucker on this board is probably loved by his parents. Being a good person doesn't matter.

Spent nearly $400 on various Mech keyboard over the years but was never satisfied. Tried various switches too.

Went back to one of these I found at a yard sale for a couple of dollars. And have been satisfied with it for the past few years

But yeah I've concluded mech keyboards are a major meme. Ppl try to use "muh quality" to justify it but will spend more than they would on a lifetime of regular keyboards.

To save yourself the trouble, don't go for meme switches or any gimmicks. Just get linear red switch (or equivalent) keyboards if you need a mehcanical.

I like it

Writing this self eulogy is probably the hardest thng I've done in years. It was easier to tell my neighbor that my dog ate his cat and that I buried it in my yard. It was easier to tell my boss that I crashed his work van into a clients house. It was easier to hear from the only girl I asked out in years that she already has a boyfriend.
This self eulogy is fucking killing me because I just don't know where to start or how to even open myself like that. I'm afraid I'll write some super cringey emo shit and I'm afraid I might even cry when I read it to the class. Oh yeah, I have to read it aloud to the entire fucking class tomorrow. This feels like an exercise in cruelty. Just fucking expose myself and be ll super vulnerable, play like I'm reading about my life at my funeral even though I've actually tried to kill myself. I fucking hate it.
What's worse is that everyone else seems to be taking the project so lightly and I think they'll say something classy and decent. I know theres a few class clowns who will probably make a great joke of it and make the whole class laugh while I'm barely holding myself together. I really hate this class and this professor seems be trying to make it some kind of group therapy. I just want to show up to lectures, write some essays, take a test and get on with my life. Not have to spill my fucking spaghetti everywhere every day.

I find books annoying to hold and read from too as opposed to an e-reader

As in the periods between lying down and falling to sleep I think of the smell of my girlfriend's pussy juice, and sigh. Women, like snails, leave a silvery trail of slime when they are aroused, only I am revolted by one and aroused by the other. Why should I be excited by mucous, and fluid, and stench. I am incarnated in flesh when I want to be of air, or smoke

There is a new race of creature, not quite "normie" but lower, sub-normie. The obese, bearded and incompetent, who are described as "geeks", "dorks", "nerds". Underlying health conditions and abnormal mental state, maladaptive sexual fixations etc., yet none of the intelligence associated with mental or sexual deviation. Why? I don't believe this has ever been seen in history. They occur in almost every nation, in great numbers, like a plague. Maybe the genetic filter of childhood mortality, now lifted by infant vaccination, has enabled these monsters to live to adulthood. This has been explicated in many ways by eg. Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, but I don't know if this new, uniquely modern caste has been explained in detail with appropriate scholarship.

During the past 13 years I have sought to heal myself of psychological trauma to the highest degree possible, seeking out what I needed to help myself.

Now at long last I have achieved the perfect state of being my own psychologist. I have achieved total, enduring inner peace. I have learned to totally embrace and love myself, and love life and the world!

I have become the psychologically strongest human being alive. I could handle the efforts of billions of people all cursing my name and trying every way possible to destroy my soul and making me want to kill myself!

I will attract the greatest psychological abusers and manipulators in the world, who cannot help but to try to destroy and overcome the ultimate in psychological health in their effort to psychologically enslave others. I will end the psycho-memetic war to end all wars that is consuming humanity, and driving it towards self-destruction!

Some dude at work asked me if I wanted to join him and his friends to watch sports on Sunday and I said no because I don't socialize with my co-workers outside of work. I felt kind of bad about it but I think its for the best. For one he's black so I assume most of the other people there will be black and I'll have to keep my tongue on a leash or risk saying something considered racist and receive a call from human resources. Second I hate being busy, I want my entire weekend to be free and clear as much as possible so I can regenerate my energy reserves and third, I really have no clue how to behave in most social situations from years of isolation. With the exception of family and a few friends from middle school I prefer to keep most people at an arms length.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CptgGaIEeLw&t=1027s
I like to imagine what that must be like to encounter some other group for the first time, how I would react, how we would communicate.
Yet watching these videos I feel an odd sense of loss. While there are small isolated pockets, tribes, that still exist, never again can such a first encounter take place at this scale.
We live in an age of instantaneous communication. All the world's cultures are known. There remains unexplored aspects of the natural world, like the deep ocean, but for ourselves nothing remains hidden.
Everything that is hidden about all the world's cultures is being made known ... what will be left. There is no more frontier, no unknown to explore.

it’s so crazy that in the past, due to the lack of political freedoms and the wide disparity between classes, if a few intellectuals disagreed with the ruling class but wanted to maintain their social standing or not get outright killed they’d have to resort to making plays, books and other media that veiled what they were really trying to say and ideally maybe even appeared to agree with and promote the ideology of the ruling class but actually served to inform people of and critique what the ruling elite really believed. These plays or novels would even contain hidden messages that anyone with the requisite knowledge could easily pick up on, for example some plays and novels, and sometimes even artwork, would make reference to other plays and novels in an attempt to hide a hidden message in clear view, the point is that the message would be very easy to spot by anyone privy enough to pick up on it, I sometimes wish i could say ‘i hear ya loud and clear’ to the intellectuals that had to resort to this sort of thing in the past, it must have been so hard for them. It’s really extraordinary that people used to have to go to such lengths, I’m kinda proud that today we don't have to go to such lengths, anyone can make a youtube video and just talk about whatever they want.

It'll probably be an old school photo too, there's not many photographs of your face around, just you as a kid. You'll duct tape your hands together and hang yourself from a doorknob. Your last thoughts will be: the smell of dead grass, ashtrays, stale laundry, and the incomprehensible eyes of your mother. You'll have a shaded grave beneath a dead ivy-engulfed tree, and your gravestone will be rough, cheap granite; barely a brick with your name on it, minimal; like a forgotten identification tag hanging off a slaughterhouse animal carcass in some ditch. You're a pebble in the road, attempting dignity in your tumble, but you'll end up flushed by the rain into your own gutter. We all do some day and it's okay to give up, there's always bones of a runt lying in the snow somewhere in the world.

hmm?

I feel like the bourgeois middle classes despise the lower classes and the rural population in general way more than the aristocrats of yore ever despised people below them. I think it has to do with insecurity, aristocrats completely internalized their sense of superiority while the bourgeois middle classes always feel like they are one recession away from falling into the dark abyss of rural and lower class populations "below them", which makes them absolutely hellbent on making it clear that they are "not like them". Because in fact, they are quite like them in most things besides money and their internalized ingroup/outgroup ideology of choice.

Not really, I think the upper bourgeois classes don't really think of the middle-middle class bourgeois classes a whole lot, while the middle-middle class bourgeois seek to emulate the bourgeois elite rather than wanting to entirely obliterate them like they did with the classical aristocracy.

This is from some podcast, I think it might have been Joe DeRosa. I thought the delivery was so good, he was talking to some other comedian and they introduced it like "This podcast is for all the people who didn't get enough attention from their mothers." and then the other guy goes (40-ish years old, hoarse from years of cigar and whiskey): "Will it ever be enough?"

Comedians, man.

>>21515819
yes, actually. I only need attention when I'm anxious. I'm really anxious right now, but eventually it will pass. until the next time, obviously, but still.

fascinating watching older relatives suddenly come out of the woodwork as anti-EU just because we export a lot of electricity lol.

I should’ve resigned before the new year. Now the person I work with, whom I respect, has asked me to commit to at least a few more months for her sake and I agreed. But things would be better for me if I had already finished.

Yesterday I met a woman I had never seen before with the exclusive purpose of having sex. It wasn’t even a date, we just went and fucked. How can people do this shit regularly? A couple hours latter I felt the most soul crushing sensation and I’ve spent the entire day melancholic today without even understanding why. Is there something wrong with me? I know so many men and women who do these kinds of thing regularly and they always seem to have a great deal of fun doing it.

I feel like women don't really like men that much. Let me explain myself: I'm quite sure women can't really love a man the same way a man loves a woman. Just think about it. Have you ever heard a real woman talk about how much she loves a man, in a monogamous way? Have you noticed how women do not care at all or even think about male jealousy or dislike/fear of being cucked, except as a quirk like how a dog likes chasing balls? Have you noticed how they feel no compassion or sympathy whatsoever towards men or any regard for their feelings? The only woman I can think of who seemed to think like a man was Lucretia, the wife of Collatinus, who is maybe the greatest example of female virtue according to everyone but (besides being semi-mythological) was raised in a society which imposed upon women to be exactly how men want them to be, and even then, have you EVER heard a woman praise or admire Lucretia? Only men praise her.
Women are just fundamentally different to men. It's our nature.
No, I have never been in a relationship, yeh whatever I'm a bitter incel, but just think about it. Empirical observation is all you need. Women just aren't human in the same way we are. there is a strong barrier of comprehension between us.

>>21516318
Men love women but struggle to live a woman, women love a man but don't care if all other men die in a fire.

The upside of being a man is if you succeed, you REALLY succeed, and fuck ten thousand women. The downside is most men don't succeed, and will spend their whole lives as starving beggars staring at home cooked food being waved in front of their faces, either because you can't get laid at all or because you settled down with one woman who probably got fat. But even if she is attractive, it's still just one women, and in a sense you were built to fuck thousands of women.

The upside of being a woman is you don't have to deal with the constant, horrible cravings for what you can't have, because all you really want is to settle down. Even massive sluts are really just delusional and seeking one special guy to rescue them. The downside of being a woman is that you can fall in love with a random guy who hits your irrational hormone bullseye and end up chasing him around for 20 years, and literally all he had to do was reject you one time on a day his hair looked really good and he reminded you subconsciously of your dad.

Men and women are mismatched.

Yes this is correct.
Just look at a popular movie like "Glass Onion", which expresses the middle class fantasy that they could join the ultra-rich.
(while at the same expressing resentment to that class--through the fictional identification with the cheated rich person who takes revenge against the bad rich folk)
The upper middle class's feelings about the lower are similarly haphazard and contradictory; at times identifying with the lower when they wish to play the victim, yet maintaining some distance and separation.

I saw a homeless tranny on the subway platform today. Full make-up, dress, with emaciated musculature. I did not think they showered in weeks; but surprisingly, they did not stink like piss, BO and alcohol. Anyway, she was being followed around by another homeless person who was trying to convert her:
>Believe in God.
>Jesus loves you.
>Heaven is real, etc., etc.
The tranny then said she was thirsty and so the homeless guy offered to give her some water with the caveat - It WAS "holy" water!!!111 (the entire platform was thus informed). The tranny would not drink. The homeless guy then proceeded to resume howling for the tranny to pray and find God, and would continue to do so (aggressively) from the time the train arrived until the pair split (one got on, the other remained) as it departed again. It was quite the absurdist spectacle.

Isaac Newton prediction of 2060AD
>Despite the dramatic nature of a prediction of the end of the world, Newton may not have been referring to the 2060 date as a destructive act resulting in the annihilation of the earth and its inhabitants, but rather one in which he believed the world was to be replaced with a new one based upon a transition to an era of divinely inspired peace. In Christian theology, this concept is often referred to as The Second Coming of Jesus Christ and the establishment of Paradise by The Kingdom of God on Earth.

Frankly, I think a man and woman can only foster true love between one another if they foster true respect for one another's mind soul and just their whole being in addition to the physical attraction. Sadly, only yhr last item is considered by most people when dsting or when with a spouse, which is why some people grow to hate or otherwise feel uncomfortable around their spouse/lover. It's also why people do stupid shit for pussy/affirmation, not even actual love. I knew a retard that wants to become a Catholic priest yet still went ahead and dated a girl he saw because she was cute. They broke up and it just reminded me how dumb this guy is. Like how do you even think about doing shit like that if you feel you are called to lifelong celibacy?

>individual liberty and personal responsibility
Personal responsibility is a misnomer, you can only be responsible to somebody outside of yourself, somebody or some thing external. Realizing this, being responsible to another is an impingement (welcome or not) on personal liberty.

If you believe on personal responsibility you are depersonalizing yourself, what you instead mean is you wish to be responsible to another, be it a family or worthwhile leader but are too muddled to say.

I worked and studied with a lot of rich folks despite being a regular guy. It’s basically:
>old money gigarich
Take money as something guaranteed in the sense that no shit related to it will impress them. Don’t think much about other social classes except when shitting on the nouveau rich. Have the amazing capacity of insulting people without even realizing they’re doing so.
>richlets
Mostly nouveau rich. No matter how much money they have, their minds are permanently cucked from not being born on the above tier. They are insecure but the upper middle class admire them greatly and that soothes their ego. Some get very good at larping as gigarich and thus are accepted among them.
>upper middle class
The ones who aren’t greedy mostly keep to themselves, the remaining ones are a even more pathetic version of richlets - basically admiring them and trying to dab on the other middle class tiers. Some of them hate poor people.
>middle class
The cucked form of the upper middle class. These ones regularly hate poor people and the lower middle class. The kind of people who’ll spend half the money on their bank account to buy a low-tier BMW.
>lower middle class
Those who care about money and social status are seeth incarnate. The ones who keep humble and are just glad about not being poor are cool.

Interesting post. Who are old money even?
Are these like the descendents of Rockefeller or Carnegie?
In my personal life I haven't had the opportunity to be around a lot of rich people, but I have been around many kinds of people from the lowest to the upper middle.
One thing I find interesting about the lower is how incredibly shallow and materialistic some poor people can be. Just like new rich people all they dream about is making more money. They like to listen to rap songs that are all about making lots of money and doing drugs.
On the otherhand I've encountered the humble type, who seem completely satisfied in their station and have no awareness of a better life. It's the ones who've had a taste of something better that they lost who are the most bitter.
I worked security at a warehouse and I remember the head janitor was probably the happiest person I've ever encountered, despite being middle aged and working a job that to me that would seem shameful.
The middle to upper middle type Ive mostly encountered in college.

Check a compass

>>21517215
I’m a different replier, so I have no guy what that person meant, but old money actually means like aristocracy and pseudo-aristocracy. That’s more like the Roosevelts than the Rockefellers. These people made their money off land and productive estates, and almost all of them have lost almost all of it because of taxes and other things. He probably didn’t mean those people but that’s what old money actually was. New money was people who made their money off railroads, businesses, investments, especially after the mid-19th century onward.

>>21508214

>>21517257
Yes thats what it used to mean, I just assumed other anon was referring to old v.s new money today.
I assume today old money would be the descendents of new money people, as old money in the old sense, aristocracy, outside of a few isolated examples like the British royal family doesn't really exist or have any real relevance.

They should be the biggest force trying to destroy modernity. In some ways they are probably the biggest victims long term. The risk is if they glorify the days in which men wanted them so much that they will tell young women that that is what's worth having. That, or our of spite they will trick the younger women into the same whirlpool.

>>21517496
I bet there will be a femanon or two of atleast 27 or so who will read this but still will not feel the urgency. I guess another thing is that it is so hard to find common ground with post-modernity. There are probably very few clear "tells" as to who you actually would want to spend a life with. Few people probably have a clear grasp on what their core-beliefs are, if they have any that could be articulated beyond some subconscious drive.

It’s less about belonging to a notorious family and more about being raised among such affluence that money is just a non-factor. Some people resent them, but they have a ignorance/innocence about everyday things that I personally find fascinating, although they will grate on your nerves at some point by how naturally treating others like shit or saying offensive stuff comes to them. I was not exaggerating about the insulting without realizing part, they’ll say the worst shit to someone and act genuinely baffled when said person reacts badly.
>I worked security at a warehouse and I remember the head janitor was probably the happiest person I've ever encountered, despite being middle aged and working a job that to me that would seem shameful.
My grandpa was like that. He squandered a chance to go to the city and get an education to become a bartender at his small town and latter work a small ice cream shop. Never met anyone as content as him and he’s the only person I’ve ever wanted to be more like.

How old were these women? Maybe an 18 year old has a very different perception of what aging looks like form a 25 year old. Though desu mightt make sense. I work at an alcohol retailer. Some woman came in and she was obviously about 30. I didn't ask for her ID even though she held it in her hand. She basically demanded I look at it even after she performed the purchase. Pretty sure it left her feeling insecure. Might have been the first time she wasn't carded and it caught her off guard, or maybe she does it to feel young.
Then again maybe she's just an autist and was awkward and didn't know what to do. Sometimes I think people get this idea that women cannot be awkward.

>>21517691
anon is probably confused by what 'wall' these women were referring to. typically 35 is considered the 'cutoff point' for having children without massive potential complications. this is pretty universally known by normalfags and does not refer to the same wall as incels like to go on about

>>21517701
No they were talking about "when my looks are gone and I have to start thinking about settling down." They were talking about the incel wall and trying to seem hip to it and ahead of the game. One of them was a 28 year old whose big claim to fame was she fucked some associate professor in a one night stand.

>>21517691
Late 20s. Also that's hilarious. It's hard not to feel schadenfreude for these women when human civilization as we know it was re-engineered to service their whims for a generation or two.

>>21517716
>when human civilization as we know it was re-engineered to service their whims for a generation or two.
this is what I mean. There should come a point where out of pure sisterhood they should want to roll back about 4/5ths of feminism. That would mean conceding to men though, and they don't like that on instinct because they think they will get beaten if they don't stay on top of us.

it's pretty amazing how they got it to the point where the stereotype of a wife who stays at home is a woman who gets beaten every day for overcooking meatloaf. sound very plausible that that is how the human race has survived en masse?

My warning to you is this. It is not lame, but this sort of behavior is very common amongst "psychologically damaged" types. I don't know much about psychology but if you hang around enough BPD SSRI young girls or people with other alleged serious mental illness, they often pick up accents as a cope or something. Trust me it's very common. My first thought when I hear somebody with a brit/irish accent is something is wrong off with them. So just be warned because other people will hear your Wisconsin or Rhode Island ass speaking like Conor McGregor and will think you're damaged goods.

I wonder if anyone has written about how or why internet/online culture so valorizes what is base, crude, or childlike.
Maybe it's as simple as the internet being seen as a non-serious realm, memes being on par to a cartoon strip.
Maybe it's something deeper.
Whatever is the cause, the default attitude online is to debase, to insert your own meaning onto something prior, and to be as grotesque and vulgar possible.
Imagining seeing prose like Nabokov on 4chan /lit/
Like seeing a nun in a brothel.
Even outside of /lit/, that kind of prose would come across as ingenuine today.
What is the future of literature? If I were a writer, I can't just ignore the primacy and importance of online rhetoric so determinative to my generation, but this rhetoric simply feels awkward or ill-fitting in a novel. And where is there room in this culture or environment for genuine aesthetic appreciation?

there is no one who hates poors more than the poors themselves and those in contact with them. While a rich guy might see a beggar and think why doesn't he work, a middle class will immediately go "this nigga might try to steal me" mode. That is my view as a Brazilian in the top 3% (it is not even that high, anyone with more than 300k dollars is on the top 5%)
The real problem, as always, are the rich without education, since they still think like poor people do, always trying to take advantage and flexing. Not 3 months ago I went to this Yacht party, I put my watch on the main table (the boat was not moving) and 30 minutes later it magically disappeared. The were only family, friends and helpers there, and I know for a fact none of the helpers did it, they wouldn't risk their jobs for a fake watch. I am 99% sure a bitcoin scammer (friend of the family) took it, new rich mother fucker. Anyway communists are wrong, good night everybody.

Anyways, I think you are right those in the middle class, depending on their location/income, might have to regularly interact and deal with the realities of poverty more, which make them hate the poor more. Out of an exaggerated desire to signal their difference or fear of becoming like the poor, they need to exaggerate the difference due to their actual similarity.
I've felt this myself, nothing made me hate poor people, then having to work these low level jobs having to be proximate to the humiliating aspects of poverty: broken needles in the parking lot, chain smoking coworker missing teeth, a middle aged coworker named Mindy with Pizza sauce in her hair etc.
..
I began to feel an inward, irrational, sense of hatred at being forced to be associated with these humiliating sights and people.
Upper middle class are insulated enough, that they like the rich are more supportive of helping the poor.
The higher levels are either indifferent, or use charity as a means of expressing condescension.
Sort of like how the average developed person views an african child, as a poor little alien thing in need of charity. The african child I see on my t.v screen is remote enough that I really feel nothing, but might derive some satisfaction from the feeling that I'm helping a poor alien creature. As long as that alien thing is distant from myself, charity is satisfying precisely because of the disparity.
So the upper middle uses charity to feel superior.
Whereas the lower middle class uses hatred to signal their difference and try to ape to higher status.

People are always surprised when I say I have time to read despite my busy schedule. Its not even that hard if you spend 30 minutes a day just to read.
What's hard is taking the time out of your schedule to build a skill or craft. Be it writing, painting, coding, etc. You can't really get much done in 30 minutes, let alone an hour.

What they mean is
>After that the kid will be deformed
That's the wall for women where the kid is likely to be dependent longer than usual and more dependent while she's also more tired.
The wall for women is when they can stop having kids and factored into that is the five years they want to know someone before they have kids with them. For men, the wall is when they start seeing these women who have just thought
>I have five years to get married to anyone anyway financially stable and knocked up with all the children I'll ever have
Thirty is when women start pushing the panic button, but they start acting like it won't fall into their lap about five years before that. 25 is when women stop getting forced proximity from schools and workplaces in the same way, so they start realising they've seen most of their options already.

Oh fugg Im a different anon, raised in america, and I kind of put on an irish accent and I'm definitely damaged goods. My valid excuse is that my family actually did move here from Ireland when I was a baby and that im a total shut in so I only ever talk to my dad.

Probably string worm. You can get tablets for it at most pharmacies. See a doctor too, like other anon said.

It was ingrained in us from the moment of creation and reflects the unconditional love of God for His children.

There's nothing wrong with you and everything wrong with the world. Sex is sacred. You should never "fuck", you should only make love. We are not animals and should not act like it

Weird. My dad is 61 and is just as clear and sharp as ever. If anything he's mellowed out and isnt angty all the time anymore.

I hate how brutish, stupid and agressive the lower class is, especially the middle aged alcoholics, addicts and homeless. I lost count of how much money I have spent on ludicrously expensive martial arts training, simply so I don't have to live in fear of being beaten by one of these subhumans if I leave the house past 5pm. I wish for return of factory prisons, work camps
