For the last few months, I've had a woman staying at my house while she looks for a place of her own, she is 52 and has two daughters around my age and they're both so odd but in a refreshing way. What I mean when I say that is that they're so "human" and it's a complete shock to the system. They don't know me from a bar of soap yet every time they come over to help their mum with something or just to hang out with her and I see them they both say hello to me, they don't need to do that and honestly I wouldn't expect them to even care enough to say hello since I've barely spoken to either of them and since we don't know anything about each other bar our names and a few small details that have come up in conversation. Like for example, I went outside to play with my dog not even an hour ago and her and one of her daughters were sitting out there smoking, when I showed up at the back door, her daughter turned to me and waved at me, why the fuck did she do this? Why is she saying hello to me? She doesn't need to do that, it wasn't like a chill "hey (slow wave or slow hand raise)" or anything, it was a fast wave and she was looking right at me when she did it, like, why are you doing that? Why don't you just smoke your cigarette and ignore me? The only way I can put it is that they're so "human" I've never had anyone interact with me the way they do, it's like they're not afraid of looking stupid or embarrassing themselves.

I vote for the Republican Party because I hate the United States and actively want it to die.

I don't actually agree with most Republican policies. What even are Republican policies these days? Low taxes, less regulation, the same old Reaganite song and dance? I don't really give a shit about any of that. What I do care about is that, by being Trump's vassal party and actively running cover for him, the Republican Party is actively engineering the circumstances that will lead to the downfall of the United States. Even when Trump fails, I win, because the damage he causes, and that the Republicans cause as an aftereffect, is precisely what I want.

2024 is going to be the masterstroke, I can feel it. The country is going to break next year and it's going to be fucking awesome. There will either be Soviet-style collapse and balkanization, outright secession and civil war, or the glowies will have to rig it all so overtly that everyone but the most idiotic lib will realize that American democracy is a sham. All three of those outcomes are things I would enjoy.

The Republican Party isn't a political party, or I don't view it as one. I view it as a weapon. A dagger aimed at the heart of the American republic. And I vote for them to drive that dagger further and further in, until it pierces the United States' heart. Because I hate the United States and I want it to go away. At least go away in its present form.

Whatever Montaigne lacked in descriptive precision about things, his power when it comes to introspection takes description of persons to a level one can't really do without, as an example. Without him I would never have noticed how much stranger reality is than fiction, even when it comes to how memory operates in anyone capable of living well without ever trying hard enough to feel the effort seriously--for it to show in mean looks, bad manners, or cruel conduct.

A couple weeks ago I had a dream where I found myself explaining the difference between "anthemic" and "valedictory", synonyms with a subtle difference: The latter implies faintly higher, loftier praise, especially in music and poetry--as in dythyramb. It was a pleasant dream, as dreams go, being rather social. I suppose the pleasantest I ever had took place on a rural lane in a kind of ideal June atmosphere, alongside of which huge trees festooned in 6" blossoms like those of Hibiscus or Hollyhock went on far as the eye could see along it. I've experienced scenery almost beautiful in its way as that, though I suppose nowhere on earth is quite so lovely overall in that way as the Loire Valley.

The thing about Trump is that while he’s quite obviously at best ineffective and at worst sort of a vulgar corporatist hustler with nothing real to offer, he at least says the right things on the campaign trail which is more than can be said about any other candidate. People are attracted to DeSantis because they suspect he’s the opposite, that he says a lot of wrong things but will actually do the right things. As for everyone else, they’re just more of the same with no qualitative difference between them and the other party, which is obviously and openly a bought and paid for party. American politics is in this weird spot where you really only have 4 options: 1) the uniparty lawyer candidate who is bought and paid for 2) the wealthy Raeganite Republican who doesn’t need the money and can fund his own campaigns 3) the leftist street activist that gets votes because of rapid demographic change and retarded progressive values and 4) a combination of the previous 3.

I think what would be helpful is if this upcoming nomination just destroyed the Republican Party. If Trump is the guy to make that happen, it’s a good play.

Far more realistic is a small, very small, percentage of the population being mobilized on political issues regardless of economy. Moderns love economics as metaphysics.

The regime doesn’t want things to get to civil war, but they’re more than happy to use the law to deploy their totally-not-soldiers and round up dissidents.

What the nothing happens crowd misses is that the thing doesn’t work if it can’t keep up the impression of a real and fair democratic election. If you openly rig it, you put the opposing party in corner. They have to give away their position as a fake party, causing outrage, or they have to oppose directly, and they’re liable to because their position is in trouble at that point. You can’t openly rig elections in favor of one party and expect the other party to just shy away because those people also rely on those fake votes to butter their bread, which it’s no longer doing.

> the state is the biggest organized crime ring
What crime does the state engage in in a big way? I don't mean 'some politician stole millions bucks from tax payer money' or 'a policeman shot some innocent citizen', I mean actual criminal activity that the state engages in directly and consistently.
> the organized crime is basically working for the state and their name is CIA/FBI etc
Rent free in your head. Are those organizations run by mafia bosses?

Marxist analysis of society identifies two main social groups:

Labour (the proletariat or workers) includes anyone who earns their livelihood by selling their labor power and being paid a wage or salary for their labor time. They have little choice but to work for capital, since they typically have no independent way to survive.
Capital (the bourgeoisie or capitalists) includes anyone who gets their income not from labor as much as from the surplus value they appropriate from the workers who create wealth. The income of the capitalists, therefore, is based on their exploitation of the workers (proletariat).

>> No.22685440

class struggle basically boils down to:
people who hire workers who want to pay as little as humanly possible to maximize their profits
and people who work for someone else, who want to be paid as much for their labor as possible to make it worth their time

now lets look at the conflict from the examples of walmart and amazon shall we, we have two major companies who drum out enough money to make it to top 10 of forbes 500 so being able to pay the workers is not the issue, why on earth would these two companies be paying peanuts to the workers and busting down on unions?
the answer is because it is in their best interest to do so and that they can get away with it because of the amount of desperate people who need to make income any way they can who have to work at their shit jobs or starve / become homeless, this is economic coercion which is also a part of the class struggle

i know you think it is a clever tactic to just go blow an airhorn whenever people bring the topic up but so far only thing it has managed to done is suppress speaking about the topic publicly and forced people to network in a more private manner, but i suppose conspiracy allegations are a fine way to deal with people talking about issues when you force the only place where you can converse about these topics to be behind closed doors hence giving you enough reason to call it a conspiracy due to the implied intention of concealment and organization

Analyze my dream:

I'm at my grandparents' home and I feel really tired, so I head to a sofa and I lie down. I try to get comfy so I begin moving around, then I realize in horror that the sofa is covered in sewing needles and ball-headed pins.
My hands are totally skewered by needles and my clothes too. I begin slowly pulling them out of my hands when suddenly my step-mother shows up and offers to help me. She says something that suggests she finds my situation erotic (I can't remember what) and begins taking off my clothes.
My stomach is pierced by needles, some of them have gone deep and in weird angles (they are lifting my flesh). She joyfully begins pulling them out before taking a look at my cock.
It looks grotesquely mutilated by pins and needles. I try to tell her that we should go to a doctor, but she reassures me that it is fine and begins slowly pulling them out of my battered genitals.
Then suddenly we both notice that a massive knitting needle has pierced through my glans. The needle is joined to another one for some reason. My step-mother carefully begins removing the other needle, before pulling with all her strength and ripping apart my dick. I can't look down anymore, I just scream in absolute terror, but she looks at me with a smile on her face.

Doing NNN by the way.

Marx's premises hold water, the basic "dialectic" he pointed out is obviously true, but it was also already noted to some extent by classical political economists like Adam Smith and especially later critical ones like Sismondi. The larger problem is Marx's belief that this dialectic will inevitably produce an intolerable gridlock between the proletarianized workers and increasingly visible and increasingly useless owners of capital, and thus a series of crises that leads inexorably to seizure of the (now ultra-refined and mechanized) means of production by the workers, who have nothing to lose and everything to gain. He and Engels clearly thought such revolutionary conditions were imminent already in the late 19th century.

They would have been shocked to hear that not only did the revolution not come, in anything like the form they thought it would - which was that a Chartist revolution in England, or French or German socialist revolution, would spark another Spring of Nations style revolution like they followed as journalists in the late '40s and early '50s - not only this, but that the revolutions that DID come would be (from their perspective) in sub-capitalist, sub-industrial nations with overwhelmingly agricultural economies, led by Blanquist, Napoleon III-style rabble-rousing mystagogues wielding Capital like a Bible. Lenin was a Blanquist peasantist utopian from a purely Marxist perspective. He made brilliant arguments for the extension of Marx's theory to the international plane after it was clear that Marx's theories were simply incorrect in their predictions of revolution from within the bourgeois nations. He basically tried to save Marxism while maintaining orthodoxy, and I think Marx would have appreciated his ideas if he had somehow lived to 1920 (and thus been forced to revise his own theories).

But Lenin ultimately failed, and he failed precisely because he tried to force Marx's theories on reality: he assumed that if he accelerated Marx's conditions for communist revolution to the breaking points described by Marx, then the revolution would happen. Instead nothing happened, except that Stalin inherited a totalitarian Jacobin state and re-suppressed the minorities Lenin utopianly tried to free.

How did other Marxists deal with the basic problem that Marx was simply wrong?
>The Frankfurt School
They admitted Marx was a Hegelian and that his theory of history was based on an atheistic, Enlightenment ideal of rationalization and secularization that simply wasn't true empirically. At least not on anything like the timescale in which Marx saw it taking place. People turned to nationalism and "superstitions" (beliefs beyond metaphysical materialism and anarcho-libertarianism as a "rational" social system) MORE, not less, as capitalism transformed society. With the triumph of the capitalist states and bourgeois ideology in WW2, the Frankfurt School was simply forced to work within liberal, bourgeois, capitalist societies, as bourgeois intellectuals, while having no answer to "what just happened? and what do we do now?," except "doing theory," mostly meaning limp-dicked shit like Marxian aesthetic theory, or Marcuse's psychoanalytic shit that was easily misread as hippie liberation theology. They also knew full well that "theory" couldn't even maintain itself as some kind of underground dissident discourse attacking capitalism from inside, because it was too easily appropriated by bourgeois non-Marxist or quasi-Marxist pseudo-leftists and turned into a hobby, just yet another bourgeois luxury commodity. Which is exactly what happened, as Americanization (the spear tip of world capitalism) transformed European countries in its image, creating the "New Left" academic, aka rich gay kid who studies Bell Hooks via Foucault and Derrida and calls himself a "M-L" on twitter.

They knew Marcuse's desire to rally the New Left youth was doomed - all the actual radical elements (the Weathermen e.g.) in the New Left were utterly farcical and gay, and in any event the CIA would crush or divert the ones who weren't totally farcical, and even if it succeeded it wouldn't be Marxism it would be yet more Blanquist lumpenprole 18th Brumaire shit. Habermas is a total joke, an ur-neoliberal gay baby who wrote COVID agitprop for the state. The only principled major Frankfurters, Adorno and Horkheimer, basically died of broken hearts. For them, legitimate Marxism was simply checkmated by history.

>Gramsci
Basically a fascist / national syndicalist. Totally jettisons the thing that made Marxism "scientific" in Marx's eyes, and distinct from Blanquism and utopianism: its observation of the inevitable dialectical tendencies in society and history. Replaces this with a purely tactical, Sorelian/Leninist theory of power politics which is utterly ingenious but also has no necessary connection to Marxism. There is a reason why the Nouvelle Droite (New Right) in Europe calls itself "Gramscian," and Alain de Benoist writes books about National Syndicalism.

Well, I'm a mutt myself, but a European mutt wich is a condemnation worse than being an American mutt, because there it is at least socially accepted to some degree at least (I will not go into the details with certain specific kinds of mutts and the specialties of each country).
But as a half Belgian half Slav individual, existence is a curse. The more I become mature the more I realize how limited I am in becoming a functioning member of society.
Each European nation forming a sovereign nationality, no where am I at home.
The Belgians hate the Slavs, consider them to be racial inferiors it could be said, or with the same outcomes as if they did so. Bad enough that I take a Belgian calling me a foreigner for not speaking the dialectal variation in a perfect form as an offense against my personality, for all my male ancestors from my father's side have served the Belgian military.
But in Slavland I have it no better. I am not, as among the Belgs, a filthy subhuman, but socially speaking, I have no where to go either.
Whatever wife I might get will probably be from a low class environment. Me, who's ancestors from both nations are of an equal footing. My Belgian ancestors, redbeards, nobility, administrators, my Slav ancestors, too proud of their independance to pay taxes to the Turkish Barbarians who thought of themselves as masters and who knew the construction of the house chariot.

At the risk of sounding like a subversive Jew, I'm glad over here in the New World there is less of a focus on race.
I've lived in the Netherlands for about 20 years and most people couldn't guess I was a mutt.
The straight brown hair, light skin and green eyes helped.
However the struggles as a mutt came from myself, as I'm sure it does with most.
In The Netherlands you had the Dutch who treat you like you're exotic. Which is fun sometimes but with how self hating Whites tend to be, was weird in the back of my mind.
And the ethnics in The Netherlands didn't consider me non White enough.

All of this disappeared when I came here. Over here there is no fixed ethnicity. The Europeans made that impossible. There is a high degree of Indian in us but always mixed with European genes and some people unfortunately also African. Although to a smaller extent.

Race has taken a back seat in importance to me since coming here. I am even dating a mamacita who is a mestizo. Pocahontas looking girl. Bleaching my line was sort of a goal of mine. But having dated plenty of European women, I can say that none were even close to being wife material as this girl.
So my children will be mestizos. Hopefully they get my coloured eyes. But when everything else involving life is an upgrade, race plays a smaller role.
But even then I would never advise mixing outside of what you already have in you.
As hot as Asians can be, having a chinky eyed kid would be embarrassing. Same with Africans and their nappy hair.

If you're young enough you have time to think it through, but I doubt the situation in Europe gets much better, racially speaking.

Well, yes, and that's why I from now on restrict my dating options to Belgian and Slav women, not even because of fear that my bloodline will be mutted, but considering the misery it is already to be a half/half mutt, imagine the wrath in wich third/third/third mutts live in. It's like the caput mortem on a consistent series of too many and too distant mixtures.
There was a time were I too thought being white can lead to social credit, but unfortunately, at least in Europe, it is not so. Or, in my case, the condition of being of mixed descendance immediately paralyzes the previous condition. People just almost immediately see me as a weirdo.
On one hand continuing the legacy of the family is a thing to be aspired for. On the other hand, the fact that my descendants will have me as a mixed ancestor might just give them a reason to be worthless subhumans, i. e. lazy and aspiring to nothingness.
I am not bound to Europe, particularly because I like the inhabitants, but because the land of my ancestors ties me to it. By any means, this worth more than gold. I will probably re-live the patriarchal utopia of having a house in the country and land to cultivate. Both a good way to ensure the physical health of one's descendants and, in the modern era, to keep them away from drugs and faggotry.
But yeah, you can look at it positively. Sometimes me too would like to have an exotic gf, like a Latina, like an Indian woman. But you can live it too without fear that your descendants will live in misery. And I say misery, because a mutt is a stranger even among his own familiars. Indeed it is a curse.
And the situation in Europe will only keep getting worse, but just because it will keep getting worse in Europe is no reason to believe that things will anyhow improve in South America.

The idea that a child will be lazy/aspiring to nothingness because he's a quarter Slav or Belgian is insane. Same as looking at you as a subhuman. Could it be somewhat of a projection?

Believe me, if you went with a Belgian or Slav the kid will absolutely fit in. No issue.
What will fuck a child up is having a parent who abandons them. Or has a drinking problem. Or is too controlling etc etc.
While race is important, it is not the deciding factor in if someone feels like a stranger in their own place. And besides, Europe is being mutted up as we speak so unless your Slav part is Hungarian or Slovakian your kid will have the same problem a White kid in South America would have in regards to feeling like a stranger.

I guess if I was in your shoes I'd go to the Slav part of my bloodline. There is space in those countries, somewhat of a will to continue their customs, less faggotry etc.
For me the Caribbean has been the solution. It fixed the split identity I had and the culture is much more life affirming than what I had in The Netherlands.

> Could it be somewhat of a projection?
I was at some job and the boss explained me something in dialect and I had a question so he just self-aggrandizidely repeated what he had said, not in dialect but in formal German like I'm some kind of foreigner even though he saw on the paper that my surname is Belgish. This is just one example. It happens every day. Even if I fit in some friend circle at the job I will always come over as some foreigner looking for gibs. So no it is not projections Belgians genuinely see me as a subhuman, as a second class citizen and someone to oppress. Not directly, but indirectly. And because I already am a Belgian by descendance I feel no need to change myself (to artificially make myself appear more Belgian than I am, like do the foreigners who assimilate themselves in hopes to better their social position, with medium success) OR the situation (making a case against discrimination), it just fills me with nihilism.
> And besides, Europe is being mutted up as we speak so unless your Slav part is Hungarian or Slovakian your kid will have the same problem a White kid in South America would have in regards to feeling like a stranger.
Meh, more like the more foreigners come in, the more they are despised by the local population. They are still the ones who generally hold the managerial positions in a 9/10 ratio, especially in the smaller places. And they relentlessly make the foreigners feel inferior by merit of being foreigners. And even though I am not that much a foreigner, I still fall into the latter category.
> I guess if I was in your shoes I'd go to the Slav part of my bloodline. There is space in those countries, somewhat of a will to continue their customs, less faggotry etc
Well I currently am living in the Slavlands, less because of identity issues and more because of other, more practical reasons, but anyways. At first, the solution seemed ideal. But the more time passes, the more problems show up. So let's say I marry a Slav girl, and marriage is still kind of expected to happen sooner or later in this latitude, then the situation would still be kind of fucked up. My Belgian ancestors were protestants. Meanwhile the Slavs are orthodox Christians. The fact that every Slav family has a holy Saint that is passed on by the father to his children only adds to the complexity of the problem. My father not having been a Slav, his family has no holy Saint, and that makes a marriage between me and a Slav woman almost inadmissible.

Formerly great country now a dysgenic soup very similar to America but with slightly different ingredients. Upper class has been turned into what I think the Brits call "twits," all the prissy and smarmy elements of the old Victorian/Edwardian elite Brits but with none of the substance or character to back it up anymore, also somewhat Americanized so it's like a horrible mixture of the worst of British prissy smarm and American crassness. Middle class replaced by what I think the Brits call "chavs." Consonant-dropping disgusting slobs all making pic related face. For some reason Englishmen seem to think being stupid or silly and making this face is the funniest thing ever, so all their comedy and television is filled with salt of the earth non-enunciating chavs asking silly questions while making what I think the Brits call "gormless" faces.

Well, that's a nice thing to say, but when it becomes a day by day thing, say, people making hidden references about whatever part of your descendance day by day, not just randies, but the boss you are supposed to respect as a person of authority, it becomes annoying.
And I once tried hiding my foreign roots, not for a job, but on a bar table with strangers I had just met. This second generation Med foreigner started a 30 minute rant on how I possibly could have denied my Slavic roots. On one hand I have never done that ever again, on the other hand it just filled me with more pessimism, that not even the foreigners consider me a Belgian.
But yeah, I guess I should just move on with this crap. Reading too much de Gobineau, first out of pure curiosity, then out of a sparked interest, probably added much into it. Before, I didn't think much about it, I was just myself. After reading the chapter about the Slavs, where he calls them a group of whites, degenerated after generations of mixing with Finnish tribes of the yellow race, great at agriculture, industry and artesanship and not much else, I went into the mirror and asked myself: wtf am I? But the big blow came when he continued: 'Let's leave this sweet and peaceful people and name their numberous conquerors.' And ever since, my self-consciousness has suffered.
In any way, it is a condition we have to live and cope with.

People with power and money will get what they want and everyone else is too poor and stupid to do anything about it. The revolutionary fervor is gone. The light has gone out. I'm so tired. I'm exhausted. As if existing is a constant drain of my energies. My phone rings and I get the anxious shakes that turns into rage at some client or robot caller wanting to harass me for things I don't have. All any of them ever want is money. I have little to give these days, and the resource of energy is draining fast. I used to study until they kicked me out of the library when it closed. I used to actually read the books I bought.

Maybe when I get my new glasses this week things will be different. Perhaps it will bring clarity and a new vividness to the world around me. I can only hope that all my problems are because everything is ever so slightly blurry.

One of the things I learned on one of my Dante's Spelunking adventures is to draw lines to control your descent. You gotta say shit like "I won't let my life cross THIS line". Burn it into yourself, make a habit of never crossing that line, and before you know it your ass will always stay above it.

I went to a “job interview” today. It was a massive office building made from ashlar stone with imposing blacked-out windows arranged in a perfectly logical order around the whole of the building. Not a spot of ornamentation was to be observed on it; it was like a great cube projecting out of the Earth, its “sleek”, “modern” design surely symbolic of the cold rational efficiency that the firm conducts its business with.

Though I arrived late, I did not feel any hint of nervousness even as I parked my car up right outside the entrance of this gargantuan structure. I have learned not to take mind of what people think of me anymore. Because I suffer from some sort of severe autism, PTSD, or schizoid personality disorder, any social interaction I have is bound to be unpleasant, not only in the moment but for years after as lingering memories torture me and send me into literal convulsive fits. But this store of memories is large enough now that adding onto it makes no difference. My mind is bound to torture me with some memory either way; whether it uses old ones or fresh ones is really of no consequence.

In any case, I entered the building with my strange bravado and told the Arab receptionist that I had come for the interview. He asked me to wait a moment and dashed off into the adjacent room, whereupon I took a good look around at the interior. It was supremely rational, supremely efficient, the perfect balance of luxury and minimalism. There was a group of settees arranged in front of a television which was so perfectly installed that it looked like it was part of the wall. The television showed some meaningless game show. Under it the LED fireplace blazed in 60 FPS, and exuded just the right amount of heat to be pleasant, and no more. Opposite this construction was the coffee making area, where there was a sink and a coffee machine, with wireless charging pads installed into the countertops where people sat. The carpet was plush. The smell (even in the bathroom, as I was later to find out) was delicious. In spite of all this the place was gloomy, even horrifying. There was an inhuman, artificial, logical quality about it all, as though this were a calculated decision to increase the efficiency of the worker-slaves.

They invited me into the interview room, which was really an examination room. There were around 15 other candidates there. They told us the first stage was a 60 minute logic exam. There were 40 questions on it, and they were not the typical IQ questions but rather assumed prior mathematical knowledge. In short, all of us apart from one failed and were sent packing.

As I was leaving, I saw another man talk to the receptionist about the interview. The receptionist told him the next exam is scheduled within an hour. We were all being herded routinely like rats on a conveyor belt, to be inspected, tested, for our compatibility as slaves. We were all begging, grovelling, trying to prove ourselves worthy. It was inhuman.

Yeah, I know the type. The kind that spends more time reading a thesaurus than they do any actual literature. I don't play into dick measuring contests because I know what I'm packing if anyone actually cares to know, they'll find a way to figure it out. The best way to deal with them is to just go off the beaten track and ask them questions about books that don't pop up in their circlejerk reading list. If he wants to dissect minds like Marcus Aurelius, ask him his opinions on the sincere obedience that goes into Harakiri. If he wants pretend like he knows anything about David Foster Wallace, ask if he knows what it's like to be caught between the fire and the fall.

My best student this year is a complete basket case.
He's 15 and has a history of substance abuse, but his writing and speaking abilities are almost unparalleled when he's shitfaced. Today in my class we had a civics debate and he spoke circles around everyone else even though he was so fucked up he struggled to sit in his chair without falling out of it. I don't even know what he was on, his eyes were bloodshot and he was rocking back and forth when he was standing, but he didn't smell like alcohol.
He's so talented, but he'll go nowhere in life unless he gets over his substance abuse issues. We're trying to work with his CPS case worker, but the problem is he's such an immense misanthrope he won't willingly engage in prolonged conversation with anyone.
He's rarely at school too, he basically comes in for lunch, or to write tests, or hand in homework he pulls from our online portal. The moment all of his "obligations" (as he calls them) are complete, he sneaks off school grounds to get high or drunk again. From what I gathered he sit at home and reads his textbooks himself while he drinks. He has one of the highest GPAs in his grade, but I don't even know if he'll survive long enough to graduate.

I've noticed that so much of boomer humor revolved around mocking younger generations for being unable to do what are apparently basic tasks, like write in cursive or address an envelope. But this hardly seems fair given that they never taught their kids these skills. In fact, they're the ones who advocated the removal of these things from school curricula or otherwise declined to teach their kdis about. And now they mock their own children for being unable to do anything. It seems really malevolent and cruel.

he probably needs to hit rock bottom before he'll be motivated to change. There's no incentive to get sober when you're getting away with it and still enjoying it.

Mostly aesthetic reasons, I had put on like 15kg in 2 years. There were some mental reasons like starting to see the extent to which the alcohol had made me at peace with such a shitty life and realising how much i was all talk and no action. It was mostly "you can't keep criticizing (mentally) these people for being retarded short attention span zombies if you yourself can't even keep yourself in shape".
