Retards use the word “based” to cope with being dumb. The rampant anti-intellectualism of the e-right pushes me further and further to the left each passing day.

I've had a similar experience. Although I got pushed left fiscally, I went right socially on certain issues. The atomization of society is the real culprit and has made madmen of all leanings and I would much rather there be a push for all positions on the political landscape to bring their best selves to the table.

On an unrelated note I am struggling to write a mystery. Unlike most genres, mystery takes a hell of a lot of planning. That makes breaking into the genre (especially as someone who generally doesn't like reading [and by that I mean watching] mysteries outside a rare few exceptions) a real challenge. My preferred genres are romance and children's lit.

I try to walk for an hour a day, usually at night, which lets me get away from a screen and just chill by myself. I usually end up thinking about abstract fantasy worlds or ideas for games or stories but I never really write them down or preserve them in any way. Despite this, I still feel as though I am getting some sort of creative work done, as the scenarios and ideas I come up with often join with others in my mind in a sort of soup and gestate together to become more fertile ideas later.

The real trouble is deciding on what to think about. What should I think about for my walk tonight?

All of a sudden, I felt… I felt the conviction seep and tether itself to my bones. The conviction that I was never going to be happy, aware as I was. Of everything. No matter where I went, or what I did. No matter if I over-achieved or under-achieved. And I felt truly sorry for my parents, because I knew almost with a certainty that I was doomed. And it was different now, because instead of the much coveted relief that fact should have spurred, I was afraid of death.

People from one thousand years ago lived in a better world, and people one thousand years from them lived in one that was even better. Human history is one inexorable decline. The progeny of each family inherits only the wretched and frail. To live to is to fail your ancestors whom lived closer to the gods than you can ever imagine. You parents inherited a cleaner world, and you live in one that will prove to be more honest than the one you will give to your children.

It’s just so unfair.
All this pain and torture inflicted by those that were supposed to raise me, love me, nurture me.
It’s so unfair..
The second born, taking up the responsibilities of the family. Caring for these animals as they enter their geriatric phase. Financially and emotionally burdened with watching over them as the steady realization sets in that they’re both just children incapable of actual development and growth.
It’s so fucking unfair.
I have to put on a front everyday just to deal with myself as I act hostile and aggressive towards myself. I lose sight of who I really am, who it is that I want to be and the man that wants to spread goodness and kindness to those around me.
I can’t stand how unfair it is.
The infinite series of tirades about how I’m insane, I have no recollection, my memory is faulty, that we just need to let it go and move on. It never makes any sense. How can two people have the same argument, fight, dispute, brawl over the same thing every two weeks?
Do they just forget what was said?
They aren’t that forgiving, this much I know.
What the fuck is it?
Why can’t I just tear myself away, why can’t I just handle the guilt that comes from abandoning them?
Am I under their grasp?
Am I broken on the inside?
I was away for years and there wasn’t a day that I thought of them and wished them the best.
Willingly, I crawled back into this cesspool.
Now they have their claws around my heart as they cry and pray for vindication upon the other and upon me for being so heartless, so evil.
If I were evil, would I have come back?
It’s so unfair.

But here I am, struggling and fighting on.
Developing my career, trying to start a family of my own, and keeping myself healthy.
Until the day I die.

I'm grumpy and sad, grumpy and sad.
Aaaah! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
Grumpy and sad.

The only credibility and bragging rights that I hold are that I've been on this shithole for 15 years now, and I have absolutely nothing to show for it and only my own word as proof. Not only is it an entirely unimpressive, but the only proof I have is my word given the loss of my HDD ~12 years back.

The world keeps on spinning and moving on without me, leaving me gasping, trying to catch my breath. I've wasted much of the best years of my life; not all, but the fact I spent some time correctly is itself provides an even starker contrast to my overwhelming failure.

Why does my mind have to fight me so? How can it not comprehend that we're on in the same and it's ruin of me is ruin of it. It impedes my function and happiness, and all for what?

No sleep does terrible things to a man, but even then the desire for sleep is still absent due to the bad dreams and nightmares which occur whenever I manage to drift into unconsciousness. Why can't I ever have good dreams, or no dreams at all? Even dreams that are merely strange leave me awake with a feeling of unease, stress and dread, saying nothing of the true nightmares that leave me despondent and non-functional throughout the day.

Ohhh... oh it hurts... aaiiiee...

It would seem that the feud, reward for the work of the war, a shining proof of a happy courage, had everything necessary to reconcile the favors of the public among bellicose races and very sensitive to profit; it was not so. Military service in pay from a leader repulsed many men, especially those of high birth. These arrogant minds found humiliation in receiving gifts from their equals, and sometimes even from those that they regarded as inferiors based on purity of birth. Nor did every conceivable profit blind them to the disadvantage of suspending for a while, if not losing forever, the plenary action of their independence. When they were not called upon to command themselves, by an inability of any kind, they preferred to take part only in truly national expeditions or those that they felt able to undertake with the forces of their odel alone.

Like yeah, maybe it's better to have a party that nakedly tells you they support legalizing child porn production and lowering the working age to 4 and having street gangs enforce the law on behalf of corporations, but even if other parties are also filled with corporate sellouts and pedophiles, the mere fact that they have to present an image of acting morally ties their hands somewhat, especially in a country where voters can still oust their representatives or senators if they pull some wildly unpopular move.

Modernity refutes direction-brain thinking. What does it even mean to be right wing in a world of vaccines and atomic bombs? All of the major political events of the 20th century can be understood in part as a reaction against non-political modern developments. But everyone knows implicitly now that while Politics can steer economy, culture, scholarship, philosophy, and maybe even religion, it can’t turn back history or put the genie back in the bottle. There’s no political solution to the fact that drone warfare exists and if you don’t use it, you’re going to die. It is a largely non-human and thus non-political political reality now. It’s why we talk about wars in terms of tanks and battleships rather than legions.

Accelerationism is a range of ideas in revolutionary and reactionary ideas in left and right-wing ideology that call for the drastic intensification of capitalist growth, technological change, infrastructure sabotage and other processes of social change to destabilize existing systems and create radical social transformations, otherwise referred to as "acceleration". It has been regarded as an ideological spectrum divided into mutually contradictory left-wing and right-wing variants, both of which support the indefinite intensification of capitalism and its structures as well as the conditions for a technological singularity, a hypothetical point in time where technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible.

Lmao, it's not like that at all.
Active duty Army here, it's so easy to sham in the military it's not even funny. Sign up as a supply specialist, human resources, or a permanently hospital-bound medical specialty like 68K (lab tech) or 68Q (pharmacist) and you'll have an easy time plus get government bennies out of the deal. You can also sign up for any kind of specialized military intelligence, like 35N, 35T, or 35G and most likely you'll go work standard workdays in a windowless room somewhere (though there is a chance of doing shift work which can suck a little).
It's not easy to make it to 20 years, per se, but if you've worked an actual job before you'll find it to be as the standards to get promoted are pathetically easy to reach and your peers will frequently be dim enough to make you feel like a genius (though YMMV). Once you get there you'll get a government pension of 40% of your base pay of the highest rank you reached plus you'll have been dumping money into a government retirement account the whole way there if you're not retarded. Most retirees will have some disability pay as well, even if they did turbo-POG shit, because it's so easy to claim. You can then go on to start a whole new career with a separate retirement account while your government one continues to accrue value.

That's fine, you have to have the right personality (or enough autism) to succeed there.
Just know that if you do choose to become an officer in the Army you can end up playing office politics and competing for top-block evaluations with your peers, not so much at the junior level (though it is still a thing) but if intend to do 20 you'll have a competitive promotion from MAJ to LTC around the 16 year mark and if you don't get selected on your second look you can get shown the door before you're able to drop a retirement packet. I have no idea how other branches do things though. I'm no recruiter and though I want people to be aware of the benefits they can get out of doing some fairly easy shit in uniform for a couple years I also want them to be aware of the unadvertised shitty parts of the military before they sign.

I've come to the conclusion that whenever culture fails, the government attempts to fill in that niche, only for it to fail. For example in the Roman Empire, public degeneracy was at an all time high. From what I've read, friends slept with each other's wives, gluttony was a virtue, and worst of all, feminism was **somewhat** on a rise. After Augustus came into power, he attempted to mediate Rome's failings with the Julian Laws (Morality laws). However ultimately it was unpopular/unsuccessful and was the only thing the people of Rome despised about him. Similarly in 20th century Spain, after Francisco came into power he saw the decline of Christianity among the Spanish people and enforced it down their throats. This backfired and lead to Spain today to be an irreligious, unnationalistic, and pathetic state.

I’d be fine with shitposting if it was at least literature related. I only use /lit/ because I read and started out here years ago. It was a good blend of high quality, good, or fun.

No reason to come here if you didn’t read and weren’t into the “lit life” years ago. /lit/ was always in a precarious situation and was bound to fall. Too much gray zone and loop holes to exploit, especially with nonfiction and philosophy. I like both of them but fiction is my true love. It was always the backbone of /lit/ and I knew this place was done when creative writing like fiction and poetry declined.

i can't do what OP is asking. it defies nature.

[Anonymous No.22613887]

People seem to increasingly have this idea these days that morality is simply sacrificing their own desires for the benefit of others. I guess it is short term but long term it is in their own best interests to put aside their ego and sacrifice for others. I guess it's a consequence of our fast paced lifestyle, everyone feeling too depressed to see a distant future and the general lack of faith as religion is dying out.

Say someone grows up moral, they will be so used to good things coming back to them that they won't see it as a consequence or their morality, they will try being selfish and will see it benefits them and not see the long term damage yet, they will conclude that it is optimal to act ammorally and then inevitably when their life turns to shit they will often blame things other than their loss of morality and self sacrifice.

Similarly if someone grows up amoral they might try to be good for a while, see it gives them less short term benefits and never continue doing it long enough to see the long term benefits of forgoing their ego.

I guess this is wisdom, knowing how to act long term even if you can't immediately see any tangible benefit in doing so. But what is the solution? The timeframes in which the 'we' that we identify with will only continue to shrink, how do we help humanity reclaim some ounce of an attention span?

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of, that it would ruin the friendship. It's not that much for me but a decent amount of him, so he might feel like he owes me a lot. But on the other hand, I feel like a piece of shit seeing him struggle and pinch every penny because of this, all the while I could easily help. I might just tape the money to a brick and throw it through his window.

This same problem must be so weird if someone is ultra rich and has a normal friend. Say you're a billionaire, have a friend, maybe someone you knew for a long time, and know that they are trying to save up for a house and trying to balance that with having kids and so on. You wanna help, you could pay for it all and not even feel it, it would be less of a hit to your finances than it would for a poor person to buy a pizza for another, but how the hell could you bring it up? You can start with the purest of intentions and ruin a friendship. Probably why ultra rich people mostly have ultra rich friends.

I wasn't born into money and I was dirt poor at times. There were times when I ate mostly sunflower seeds for calories and ate cheap multivitamins, because that was one of the few ways I could ensure I get enough nutrition. That's exactly why I know that a few thousand dollars (more like it's local equivalent) can literally change one's life at the right time and set things on a better course. He is not in such a desperate situation, but I know that it will take a good year or more until he gets out of this hole (which wasn't his fault to begin with) and I just want to help. I'm trying to think back to those days, and I can't be sure now of course, but I don't think I would have turned down the money if a friend of mine really could afford it without a second thought offered to help. I wouldn't have taken it from someone slightly better of, but if I had a friend with the means I have now, I think I would have accepted. I understand the pride people have, I have it too, but this aversion to helping people and being helped just seems plain stupid to me.

Spengler thought that the transition into empire was a return to normalcy in some sense, that the highly decadent and atheistic phase of Western modernity was just that, a phase. It’s blood that breaks the bonds of money Spengler said. In Rome, the financial dominion and oppression of Roman people by the Senators, Equites, and the Optimates was broken not by money influence politicians and not by legal craftsman politicians, but by the legions of Julius and Augustus Caesar through war. The sword defeats the law and defeats money. And Rome transitioned into a martial state first and foremost. The primary means of prosperity for Rome was now martial leadership and all of the subsequent Caesars are known for that first and foremost whenever they’re remembered as competent. But in Rome, the aristocracy was never cast off and the professional middle class never came into political power. What if the phenomenon that Spengler described is real, but that there’s no reason why the imperial phase is marked by martial leadership? What if it’s just the leadership of the political status quo? In the West, we’re led basically by a bourgeois elite that rises through the professional ranks of various institutions or else by money-technocrats. It’s not even as if these people are having their time in the limelight while the martial-political aristocrats stand on the sideline. There just is no martial-aristocracy, least of all in America. He says that the age is ushered in by a handful of aristocratic families bound by other bonds and not business relationships. I don’t see anything like that in America. All we have are Ivy League educated lawyers, Ivy League academics, and billionaire entrepreneurs. Even the Army has been transformed into something highly technical and thoroughly bourgeois. The highest ranking officer said he wants to understand white rage and has degrees from Ivy League universities. This is the political elite and there is no para-elite. So where are these people he talks about going to come from?

.. are you mentally retarded?
if your son is a mental midget who spend his college days snorting cocaine and getting drunk at clubs with daddy's money with the good olde sorority you think that dude is going to graduate with anything other than the diploma in his head?
that idiot is going to become at the very least middle management where he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing, he is going to be bored and then if he knows what's best for the company stay out of peoples way and let them do the actual fucking work
if he's really REALLY incompetent then he will try to actually manage the team knowing fuck all about what he's doing while having daddy's last name as his shield making sure that he's the last one to be booted off of the ship even when he's the one making it sink
no amount of tutoring will fix stupid and college is for making connections for people like that, the fraternities and sororities are where you meet other last names that ring out and then when you both graduate by cheating, bribing teachers or barely through tutoring and being dragged through the door by daddy dearest you will still be a fuckwit, but you will be a well connected fuckwit so jimmy will hire you anyway because bro you still have that coke connect? lets have lunch
truth is middle management upwards is literally obsolete, the CEO is just there to have a face to talk to the shareholders and you can be really bad at your job without being a detriment to the company if you know how to stay the fuck out of peoples way who know what they're doing and give them just enough credit for their work for them to not jump ship
you will be lauded as business guru genius for taking credit for everything your team did well and your team will take fall for every fuck up you did while impeding their work
the top branch needs the workers more than the workers need the top branch, if people weren't so meek about risks we might have some meritocratic companies that would wipe the floor with nepo corpo but whenever one pops up they get bought out or squeezed out with bigger budget since they're just starting out

I'm a selfish, self-serving, mediocre hedonist. I have no ambition in life other than experiencing pleasure. I don't care about other people, in fact, I dislike most people I come across.
I live eternally frustrated at the fact hat I have to exist beyond sexual pleasure. I work, I exercise, I study with the purpose of experiencing ever increasing sexual delights, enhanced by drugs and by engaging in increasing debauchery.
I feel violent, angry, ready to lash out. Like I want to stomp on another man's bones, turn his face into a bloody pulp, make him beg for mercy. I enjoy the fantasy of overpowering someone, of striping them of their dignity and pride, of making them suffer. I don't know why. I don't know why it makes me feel butterflies in my stomach when I see fear in someone's face.
But I don't want to hurt anybody. If you're unwilling to believe I have empathy and moral values, then believe that I fear the consequences of my actions.
What happened to me? Was I born this way? Was I really destined to be such a disgusting and miserable human being? I don't know and I no longer care. I forgive myself. I will keep forgiving myself until there's nothing left to forgive, until I am at the very bottom of it all, enveloped in delights beyond human understanding. Until the ultimate superstimulus reveals itself to me and shatters my mind for good.

I think free will both is and is not real. The reality is that in a situation you choose between the alternatives that you can come up with. You don't choose what alternatives pop into your head, and you make a choice based on what happen to be your values and so on, what you think is even worth considering. I think maybe this can bridge the gap of the question "how can there be free will if God determines everything": God determines the situation you are in. I think it's possible that he sometimes puts you in a situation where he knows that you will choose to sin, but if he does so it is because it plays a part in the greater picture, and because you chose this path at some earlier juncture, and it will serve as part of the question of your redemption (it is still effectively your choice, since it is a consequence of an earlier choice).

Or maybe not!
I don't know it just felt like something clicked. The thing is that it seems necessary that God paint the big picture at all times, which seems to deny free will. But it could be some kind of "enlightenment"-era mistake to think of free will as entirely free. Choice only exists if there is something to choose.

it seems more correct to say that there is a faculty of choice, which is known as such from experience, but that every choice ever made was conditioned and so there has never been a free choice, even though it seems as though the basic faculty is equally applicable in varying circumstances. But it only exists as it is known from the specific, conditioned, examples.

This also implies that there are choices which put you down a path

The question is
"How is it possible that God allows me to encounter precisely what He has determined for me, while at the same time there is free will? How can He determine that I will come into those human encounters He has chosen for me, if the humans I encounter have choice in the matter? And if not: how can there be responsibility?"

I think this path-dependency, and limited, conditioned choice.. it seemed like it mattered.

I really think this "free will" business is a spook. It surely lacks subtlety.

I dreamt of an orgy in a chapel
At first I thought it was a sign of demonic possession
But I think my Dionysian tendencies are awakening

Not much that I can do sir, I'm afraid. I can laugh for you if you want.

Having a big dick is materially masculine in the sense it gives you a distinct advantage over beta males when it comes to mate selection, but ontologically feminine in the sense that your virility is defined entirely by a superfluous meat stick that determines whether or not you're ostracized by a female. This is why Gorillas are much manlier than Chimps or Bonobos despite having smaller peckers because they don't have to worry about competition nearly as much, and instead are hailed as a God-like figure by the females of their tribe instead.
