The feminist project peaked in the late 90's with Cleopatra 2525.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2ZRSwul7cE

After reaching its full potential the spirit was exhausted, as Nietzsche would say. What a lot of cultural commentators don't get is that the previous decade of 'SJW's doesn't represent the gaining of ground by feminists but the caustic runoff of the project's corpse leaking out of the morgue.
Necrofeminism has none of the vital spirit of Cleopatra 2525 and instead sees itself confined to increasingly miniscule rhetorical loops that proliferate virally as their content approaches zero.

Not great.

I have found myself in a prolonged form of practice where I write the same micro-scene over and over with slight variations. For example the scene may be 'man gets off the couch and grabs a glass of water'. I will then write out the scene dozens of times changing words, styles, perspectives. Then I get overwhelmed by the quantify of variations, unable to determine which is best, so then I repeat the process with a new scene.

>> No.20802136

There is a Greek myth of a king who was sent to hell for his arrogance. He was forced to stand in a river, under an apple tree, when he would reach to grab an apple the branches of the tree would pull back, just out of reach, when he would bend over to take a drink of water, the waters of the river would receed. That was his fate, to starve and thirst for eternity, in full sight of food and water, but always just out of reach.

This is what poverty is like. You sit down on a park bench to pass the night, and the whole world is around you, a dizzying parade of lights and pleasures, if you could only reach out and touch it. Here the elderly couples eat dinner together, lobsters and spaghetti and glistening salads and french bread and stake, and around that delicious spread smiles and laughter and conversation, and you can only smack your lips and taste at the wafting scents of their meal and smoke a cigarette butt to quiet your stomach. There a beautiful woman, round buttocks peaking out beneath her summer skirt, eyes which light up with the promesses of love and desire, tanned and in slender and in the full blossom of youth, and on her arm, a young man, handsome and well dressed and equally tan and slender, with nice clothes, and a nice car, and a galliant stride, and all the confidence of wealth and security and good health. And all around you, beautiful people wearing beautiful clothes, and delicious food, and shapely thighs, and fast cars, and spacious houses, and you think that this too could be yours, if only you could reach out and touch it. But there isn't a centime in your pocket, so you lean back on your park bench, with your hunger and your thirst, and suck your cigarette butt with your eyes on the ground.

Sometimes you dream about reaching out your hand and taking it. To grab the beautiful clothing hanging outside in display, to walk into a restaurant and order their most expensive dinner, and to walk out again, without spending a dime. You see a beautiful scantily clad woman walking down a dark ally at night and you feel an overwhelming urge to pounce on her like a lion, to rip her clothes off, to punch and slap until she submits, and to take her on the cold bare ground. Not a boat sails by that you don't wish you could swim out to, climb on board, and slitting the owner's throat set sail for foreign lands. All this should be yours. There young, you're healthy, you're ambitious, you're hungry. Why shouldn't you simply take it? But try, and the whole weight of society comes crashing down on you, and if you're not lynched in the street your hauled off to prison, to spend the rest of your young, healthy, ambitious, hungry life in a cage. Even without doing any of these things, society never really let's it's foot off your neck. Society has no place for hungry young men, and at best you'll always be looked at with an air of suspicion and destain. Tolerated simply because nobody has come up with a good excuse to get rid of you yet.

if you were trying to write anti female propaganda targeted at young men which angle would you go with? i’m thinking of a two pronged attack based on moral virtue, contrasting their constant whining about how hard their lives are, strategic crying with the reality of them having men wrapped around their fingers to do their bidding while they kick back and laugh. by using this angle the goal is to make the reader feel like a chump being taken advantage of which i feel will cause the most visceral reaction. but i’m wondering if this is a bad look, too self victimizing, and if maybe an approach more focused on elevating the male above the female, attacking them for being lame, narcissistic and smug, noting their lack of major contributions to art and science. or is there a better way that i’m missing?

I don't think you can ever be 'confident'. Once you are, you must then learn how to continue being confident, which might undermine the premise of the initial confidence. Get stuck in a feedback loop.

Instead, you'll find better results if you learn how to operate and perform before people make a judgement. You can't ever change your behavior to accomadate people's judgements. There's always going to be some lag. Kind of rambly, sorry.

don´t worry about it, i accepted that fact a long time ago, i mean if you make normies mad, more power to you, just learn how to defend yourself, go to a self-defense club, like krav maga or something like that

a realization i came about a few days ago is that you´re really no different from a famous person, the difference of course is that people have a negative perception about your persona, not a good one so that means that you can do whatever the hell you want because no one has a good expectation of you anyways, finding a role model can also help you, mine is Mike Patton (1989-1992 to be more specific) and he´s the perfect example of someone who didn´t like the whole fame stick and found it insulting, you can see how his behavior was very belligerent towards normies, there´s a 4chan image about an autist copying Frasier from that famous sitcom, you should do something like that in order to get confidence, find a role model or someone you admire and roleplay as him

it also helps if you see normies as literal npcs, don´t pay attention them otherwise they will literally live rent free in your mind (and you don´t want that)

But if you're self-conscious and you don't think that you can 'pass'. Just fucking lean into the caricature, like Boris Johnson, Trump, Larry David, Captain Beefheart.
>>20803271
yes.
Two bits of advice
1. Don't take breaks, don't say "I'll just sit down". No. Just keep the momentum
2. write down a list of things to do for the rest of the day. And break it down to the most elementary steps. Verbs are your friends.

Part of me wants to write a book just so when you fuckers write those "how's that novel coming along" threads I can be like "it's finished, thanks for asking". And the only thing that is holding me back is the fact that no one would read it.
I've made this mistake before. I've tried to prove that I have discipline and can finish projects before, and that discipline and determination is always wasted on things that have no real world applications. Senseless pointless activity for the sake of ego.
I don't care about getting published. I don't care about being famous. I just want it to have some value to someone that's not me. Otherwise I'll spend my time on some other pursuit of more value (probably a side hustle that makes money)

Here is an excerpt from "Colloquies on the Simples and Drugs of India" (1563) by Garcia de Orta that talks about bhang (ancient form of edible cannabis)
>"The profit from its use is for the man to be beside himself, and to be raised above all cares and anxieties, and it makes some break into a foolish laugh. I hear that many women take it when they want to dally and flirt with men. It is also said, but it may not be true, that the great captains, in ancient times, used to drink it with wine or with opium, that they might rest from their work, be without care, and be able to sleep ; for the long vigils of such became a torment to them. The great Sultan Bahadur said to Martin Affonso de Souza, to whom he wished every good thing and to whom he told his secrets, that when, at night, he wanted to go to Portugal, Brazil, Turkey, Arabia, or Persia, he only had to take a little bhang."

There are two major indie rock camps these days: one camp pretends to be Bruce Springsteen and the other camp makes music that evokes yearning for childlike memories. Tame Natives ascribe to the latter point of view. On their sophomore album, Industrial Signals, the Cleveland band harnesses the sounds of isolation, drawing in influences from slowcore, Thursday Afternoon, Cat Stevens, and Austrian new age music. The result is a highly textural album dealing with the profound, abiding sense of defeat which haunts postindustrial, post-Drew Carey Cleveland.
“It’s because of the financial crisis,” Hanke, 21, says. “I don’t want to get a job, because it sounds totally gay.” When I ask what that has to do with the financial crisis, Hanke says, “The financial crisis is also gay. I don’t want to get a job, because that’s gay, but if I try to get a job, I’ll have to deal with the financial crisis, which would also be gay. So that would then compound, making it gayer.” I press Hanke on why this experience would be experientially, or perhaps phenomenologically, gay. “Look, do whatever you want. Sit in the park. Bang on a coffee can. Don’t take a shower for three weeks. Get herpes in a tent. You can’t escape the fact that it’s fucking gay.”
I asked Hanke what, exactly, is “gay” about these experiences. His bandmate, Marcus Nash, 29, comes to his aid. “I think that Jer is trying to point out, like, how these people and the situation they are engaging with is, to many people of our generation, gay. Like, to have these experiences of going to college, you know, just in time to graduate and see the economy get gay. It’s just really gay. And going out the other side, you know, it’s hard to not see how gay it is.” Hanke, now lighting a cigarette, nods. “Yeah, and Mark is, like, 29. So he had a job.”
For a period of time, Nash worked at Texas Instruments as a software engineer after completing his degree at the University of California, Santa Barbara. “When you’re looking at calculators all day, it can be excruciating,” Nash explains. “It’s dizzyingly gay.” “Like blowing a guy, for example,” Hanke adds. Nash, reaching for Hanke’s cigarette, nods vigorously. “Exactly. That’s exactly it. It’s like, look at the facts here: John Kerry didn’t win. Okay? Big fuckin’ loss. That was gay. Totally gay, even. The towers had fallen, we were in two wars, and I’m working on calculator software. Like, do you know how fucking gay that is? I think about calculators all day. Like I get no pussy. So we started a band, to get pussy and to prove to everyone that we’re not gay.”

The worst part is they don’t even like each other.

Schopenhaur thought the Will was a never yielding striving to live. Niezsche built on this and defined it as the 'Will to Power' and that everybody embodies it in some way. How does the lonely, shut-in manchild of inaction have the Will to Power? Is it unfair to assume Nietzsche would ever come across such weird people? Even in Notes From Underground the Underground man is active as in he leaves the house and gets his power from being a petty fucker. Is it time to redefine 'The Will to Power' to simply 'The Will to pleasure'? or is it possible for the Will to be surpressed and beaten down to the point it no longer is active within a person?

Last night I dreamt I was conscripted into the military. It’s unclear to me now who I was supposed to be conscripted for. There was a process of initiation, I believe. After that, I was running up the stairs of a dilapidated building. There were ally soldiers ahead of me running. I got to the top of the stairs. And removed the heavy backpack I was carrying. On that level all I heard was what I thought were Russian voices. I assumed they were Russian atleast. I ran back down the stairs and see through a window as I descend, a squad of military personnel as well as positioned vehicles stood in front of the building. I get to the bottom of the stairs. They’d already made their way in. A man with a handsome face looked at me and asked me who I was with. I hesitated and looked down at his pin.

Ever since I was a kid I had this easily triggered sense of shame. It would manifest in many ways, from not talking about things I like unless I know others approve of it, to poisoning my friends' pets. Because of this I could never open up and show any semblance of vulnerability. I am involved in so many lies that are meant to hide any hardship I'm facing, no matter how trivial, that I'm afraid that it'll all unravel someday and that will be my social suicide. For example, I lie about attending two unis simultaneously, about work experience, dumping girls who dumped me and having no issue whatsoever being productive and sober. I nonchalantly claim that I can't understand people who are depressed, and I enjoy the fact that this makes depressed people feel weak and incompetent. If a friend abandons me, I'll just pretend it never happened or that we were never friends in the first place. I could go on like this for days but you catch my drift.

At the same time I'm obsessed with myself to a degree that's making my life miserable. I spend most of my free time dissecting my emotions, actions, public image, physique, facial features, personality, potential to succeed... I like myself in many ways, I'm objectively attractive, I'm successful with women and I can spend hours just looking at myself in the mirror. But I can't stop thinking about past humiliations, especially those involving my mother who would at times make me feel hopelessly worthless, and any new one can make me feel physically sick as if my whole world is collapsing. Ridicule makes me physically aggressive or I break down and cry and then I fall into a cycle of self-loathing because I feel weak. I'm intelligent and self-aware and I can assess the situation well but I can't control my subconsciousness which makes me ruminate and overthink and have flashbacks about humiliating events. At times I feel unbearable but vague and unspecific self-disgust and then I reinvent myself to calm down. If I pick up a hobby it's not because I enjoy it. It's because I like the idea of myself being proficient at it. I'm very competitive so sometimes I achieve great results. But at the end of the day it's very unfulfilling and I harbor so much envy towards people who are capable of being genuinely passionate about something. My life feels so empty. None of my relationships lasted over 3 months because I'm incapable of attachment, easily bored and abusive. I can't get close to people because everybody is a competitor and a potential source of humiliation. When my friends fail I just feel glad, as edgy as it is, and when they succeed I feel threatened. When I see someone confident I won't rest until I've taken them down a few pegs and asserted my dominance. So in the end all I have left are spineless individuals whom I secretly despise. I feel so depressingly lonely and I pushed away all the people I liked and I'm either too prideful to contact them again or they don't want anything to do with me.

Copied from last night's journal entry:
>My mind is troubled today. It is always so, but usually it's a slow melancholic sort of trouble. If my usual state can be described as a deep dark lake, full of horrors unbetrayed by the calm surface, then this new trouble is the terror of a white squall.
>I have been living within the lonesome pit of Tartarus. It is only recently and with great personal effort that I have begun to clamber up the sheer walls. My ascension has not gone unnoticed.
>She appeared to me as an angel and I reacted thusly, with equals measures of awe and terror. My earthly woes-- the aches and scrapes of my upward toil-- were forgotten in a moment, for once I knew her there were no thoughts left for knowledge of anything else.
>With a cry my fingers clenched the ledge upon which she holds her seat. This is where I still find myself dangling, my small reserves of energy draining as Hope herself stands above me in judgement, her face an unreadable mask and the sole of her boot hovering above my white knuckles.
>Now you see the trouble. Worse yet, there is nothing I can do to influence her decision; all that is within my power would serve only to paint me as yet more of a wretch to the eyes of Hope.
>No matter how I busy myself, be it work or leisure, I cannot tear my imagination from her visage, there turning down in contempt as the boot falls and I am cast back into Hell.

The shame story? It's the same stuff these thread tend to be full of. Self-pity, thought loops that don't go anywhere. Barely a mention of anything external to the mind like a tree. A story about a tree doing nothing would be much better.
Part of the trigger for calling you all retards is how annoying this neutered attitude is, it accomplishes nothing.
My post is a subversion of the formula. Instead of "woe is me" it's "woe is you depressed retards". It feeds into your depressed self-pitying narratives so you should agree with it.

I awoke ‘neath an overtaking sun. I reached for the knife laying on the hot red ground. The sky was blue and barren in way of cloud and no thing proved a manifestation of kindness for miles of this dry, flat, red, blood red land.

There was nothing to consider about that now. I saw a wild buffalo and 3 horsemen appear from seemingly nothing. The three men rode between us. Following this rather rude interruption they vanished and with them something like a piece of my soul taken too, I oddly felt. I stood there for a few moments, motionless, in a futile wait for that cloud of dust to dissipate and elucidate the still presence of that wild majestic.

I thought of the riders. I thought I saw the back most one grinning with his hand holding a clutched round bag. Secured by a beautiful white rope. Oh the braids of individually delicate yarn. I pictured it in some part of my mind. And it occupied the whole theater for some time.

I walked and I walked and I thought I’m thirsty and I thought I just couldn’t take it anymore. I saw a town in the distance. It looked like a large dragon and I was feeling a dreadful, heavy feeling in my stomach. I wished I was dead. I approach the entrance to the walled city. A river encircles it.

The buffalo appeared again this time running and jumping into the water below. He was struggling to stay afloat and

I prefer single player usually but there is still a connection to wider reality in everything we do. Nostalgia is similar to the relationship connection. You may associate the game with comfy feelings from when you were young which often include social elements even if you don't notice that much. The feeling is likely partly created by association with some comfy presence by for example a parent or an exciting feeling of competition with your friends.
