I just find these photos really sad. It's just RJC going from phase to phase, looking for some lifestyle that'll make people look at him and celebrate him because he's hurting and empty and can't celebrate himself.

Now he's an "author", before he was an "actor" and before that a "musician". Never just himself, and failing, always failing.

trauma will do that to you.

I love you RJC. For you.

Okay, this is going to come across extremely narcissistic, but I don't give a fuck:

1. Why do we play professional athletes 8+ figures a year to play a child's game?

The other day I noticed some Toronto Maple Leaf player got an $84 million dollar contract to slap a rubber puck into a net. I started asking myself, wouldn't most people see that person as being extremely valuable, but for what? For low brow, physical entertainment? How does this person earn millions of dollars doing this?

Meanwhile, we have real problems in society, many of them. Birth rates plummeting, housing crisis, hospital crisis, drug crisis, and a near total lack of leadership and innovative minds to fix it. Naturally, being the insane masochist I am, I spent a lot of time I shouldn't been writing or finding a part-time job meditating on these ideas and what it would take to fix anything. Well, you'd essentially need a National Solutions League, or the NSL, which would keep a scoreboard for positive contributions to society, like how many people you've married, how many children you've had, how many people you've helped off the street, how much housing you've built without making any profit, how many unique innovations you've provided to Canada. Then the country could come up with ways to fund it similar to the budgets of the NHL, but instead of people rising up and making $84+ million on some contract to play a sport, they'd bid on and win bigger and bigger contracts to solve issues.

For example, if we really had visionaries to lead society in a better direction, it would not be difficult to supply pod-type housing that would give people a very basic, heated and cooled living space. The reason why the NSL could not exist is because of the need to profit and keep society in a financial prison. The goal is, was, and never will be to lower costs for goods, make living easier, or to innovate to "make things better", but the goal instead has been to consolidate capital with the aid of government. The government doesn't want capital spread out among the people, it wants more of a oligarch system where the people work for the government and corporations. It's working, too.

Problems are not meant to be solved, but maintained, to the benefit of everyone who thinks inside-the-box. Imagine if you just focused in the last 10 years in buying up as much property and AirBNBs you could've, instead of writing or working on anything else. You'd have ridden a wave of immigration and money printing to riches! The wealthiest people I've met have like 50+ properties on AirBNB and are now fabulously rich.

Much is similar in the publishing world, as if you think inside-the-box you could probably come up with a pen identity and write the next POC queer love story and sell your book's film rights. Outside-the-box thinking may not get you very far.

Anyone who has driven around B.C. is aware that we have a ton of space literally fucking everywhere.

It would not take much to setup little communities of pods with hot showers, bathrooms, and a community outdoor kitchen. The "housing crisis" could be solved in a couple of ways, but the housing crisis is 100% intended to keep the status quo going. This is what has people like me sitting on the sidelines of society scratching our heads that other people can't see it. Or they refuse? I'm not sure, but clearly, many "problems" in society are called problems, but they're actually intended to keep the whole show going as promised, so everyone is keen to work their 9-5 job, watch sportsball, eat slop and repeat for 40+ years without questioning anything.

Then any of us looking at society with an out-of-box mindset are looked at like the complete schizos we are, because certain patterns and beliefs in 2024 western nations are completely and totally verboten, even if they ARE recognizing patterns and seeing the correct way of the world.

I suppose this is why I write, because it is the one things only slightly less useless than meditating on why none of the problems in modern life are meant to be fixed.

What a meme talking point. Uttered by an absolute faggot. Because it's lucrative and entertaining you dickhead. There's a whole industry of advertising under it. Teams have the money and the desire to win and go bigger. It's not some evil government twiddling their thumbs laughing as LE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS get paid less or whatever the fuck you think. If no one cared, they wouldn't be paid 8+ figures. But millions of people do, so they are. You think you're Einstein or something with that faggot comment? Good god man.

Take some time to read through all of the "Actions" they intend to take! They've already done all of this to publishing to make Canadian literature the safest, fakest, and gayest of all art forms, and, very soon, Hockey is going to be much of the same. Just another astroturfed game of millionaires to keep people in line.

You walnut brains have huffed too many of your own farts and it's led to early-onset senility. Just because you puked a scum of molten dogshit onto KDP doesn't make you an author or a pro writer. Likewise, earning the disgust of a dozen people on a dead board doesn't equate to fame.
Don't get it twisted--nothing you say has any kind of profundity or wit, it's just cliche heaped upon cliche and delivered in the most banal, whitebread, flavorless way possible.
And reaching for a litany of excuses every time you're called out. Above and beyond your lack of skill in writing you repeatedly display a lack of maturity in general, which is ironic given your advancing age.
As you both spiral into a final end of mediocrity it might occur to you in a sudden flash that you wasted your time, but more likely you'll go the same way you came--unaware, drunk on delusion, and thinking anyone gave a shit.

Whenever you see the word "crisis" you should bear in mind that it's a solvable problem, artificially created.
The housing "crisis" is due to massive immigration that the federal government knew would lead to housing shortages years ago. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/ircc-immigration-housing-canada-1.7080376?cmp=rss
The hospital "crisis," same thing. Massive immigration with no increases in spending on services.
The drug "crisis." We knew what would happen when BC legalized drugs, because the outcomes were already apparent in Portland. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2023/07/oregon-drug-decriminalization-results-overdoses/674733/
We know what policies reverse the mass use of hard drugs because countries like the UAE and Singapore have successfully implemented them.
You seem to think of these issues as organically manifesting, while a look at policy changes over time (e.g. bail reform) created these issues intentionally in the first place, and the solutions are found plain as day in other countries.
The only way out is to make enough money to pay for private healthcare, buy your own home, and live in areas that don't have tent cities due to a lack of resources for junkies. Alternatively, have the means to leave the country. Writing about it won't change anything. All these issues have already been talked to death and you should focus on saving yourself and your loved ones.

Well, yes, now that it is totally apparent and I've already alienated myself to 99% of the population by screaming "the suffering is intended", now I understand that there is no use fighting "the system" when it already has complete and total control.

Even asking why sportsball dorks make such insane money playing a sport while the real problems of society have zero chance of being solved, how there are no actual real "benevolent billionaires" or even anyone with real power for that matter. We're in a "Universe 25" scenario where pointing out anything that is possibly bad or untrue is the worst option, COVID showed us just how foolish it is to resist the grand plan and how you will be crushed like a bug if you get in the way.

I don't find fault in people who stuck to their convictions and ended up paying the ultimate price for standing up in the world full of hammers, there have been far braver people who have been disappeared for simply connecting the dots with their powers of autism and schizophrenia. I do find fault in others who haven't discussed the real issue we face in 2024:

It does feel some days that our entire society went through a polite "mid air pilot swap" and then they started handing out the poisoned roast peanuts. The levels of destitution I've seen all over B.C. are only eclipsed by the luxury towers, the near-constant evocation of the D.I.E. dogma and the astroturfing of nearly all social movements and entertainment.

It makes the most sense that people will only accept an erosion of their rights and independence if it's to solve a "crisis," e.g. the Patriot Act, so it's plausible that this is imposed economic and societal hardship where the "solution" will be further globalization via the unification of Canada, the USA and Mexico a la the EU. Nobody will stop it. They'll suffer a synthetic regression and then clap like seals once the people who did this to them promise to fix it with just at the cost of just a few liberties.

Remember when Segal used to punch noobies outside of the wall in Qeynos, knock them down to -x hitpoints, then berate them about being in Segal's town? Those erudites would show up, fresh off the boat, thinking they're about to move in and setup shop. Nuh-uh, not in Segal's 'hood! The best part was lipping them off while they had to just lie there and listen while regenerating hps.

I booked a meeting with my corporate diversity officer that our "diversity scholarship" is unethical as it denies poor students educational opportunites based on their race and gender (see: categorical imperative as an ethical standard, which is THE standard taught in business schools throughout western civilization). It took me an HOUR to convince her why doing so is fundamentally wrong. She then agreed with me and said she would raise it up to the powers that be. This was two years ago, the scholarship still exists to this day. You can tell the average person that a racially discriminatory policy is in place to fight racial discrimination and they will not question it. I'm not sure if it's fear or programmed cognitive dissonance but I've given up on believing in the capablility of reason amongst the common folk.
When someone in a leadership position doesn't understand why telling a poor student they can't have scholarship money because of their skin color is WRONG, things have gone too far.

Over time, but especially lately, there has been a tightening of "the line" of skepticism you can cross, where in 2024 if you reveal yourself to be the type to be "just asking questions", most people immediately assume you're fully on board with flat earth, jewish space lasers, and reptilians masquerading as people. Now this, of course, is to keep good people in line, because, in general, the people you'd encounter on places online like Facebook who openly discuss these issues are meth using bicycle thieves or blue collar worker types, the type of dude who will unironically roll coal and is missing a tooth from fighting at their local beer league hockey team. Hardly anyone actually stylish or bohemian will admit to non-standard ideas, because to do so is putting a hole in your own boat in nearly every industry worth anything.

>You can tell the average person that a racially discriminatory policy is in place to fight racial discrimination and they will not question it.

His is the same problem any of these attention starved wannabe writers have, which is that they don't excel at anything in particular and it's uninteresting to read. The prose is dull, characters nonexistent, no interesting angle, nothing new to say and all said in a boring cliched way. Or even worse, they do a bad impression of an extant writer like Simon Rich or DFW. They trade their sad little attempts at fiction among themselves in the jerk-off tent of their discord server and believe they've cracked the code because they didn't make a grammatical error or typo. But that's just the beginning of writing, not the end. This shit is hard work and requires raw talent, and above all a clear analytical mind that is honest with itself. You could almost say it's a personality problem that it comes down to. It sucks, I know, that some of you, most of you, will never figure out how to engage a reader--but that's just how it is. My suggestion for the majority of the Unreal tribe is to simply find a new hobby, because life is short and you'll be infinitely happier doing something you have a natural affinity for. There's really no reason for anyone to try to be a writer--it's a slog, and it always has been--and the romanticization of it as a profession has been the biggest tragedy for literature.

Pre-COVID, I was, in general, the center of attention. You can ask the fucking old bro on here who knows Jason Bryan, he can confirm, Jason used to be a very popular guy. POST-COVID I can socialize and even make friends, but when it comes to even emailing or texting anyone back... I just don't do it.

When I moved out of Big White this November, I had several locals give me their emails and phone numbers to stay in contact... I never did.

Previous to this, through various jobs and other activities, I was given phone numbers and email addresses to stay in contact with other people... I just can't be bothered. Hell, I used to love sending out hate mail and talk shit to people I used to know, and even that got boring. One of my old friends is working at a shelter on Hastings and Main and has reached out a few times with some stories and asking about me, but I just never wrote back.

Post-COVID, I just feel so disconnected from basically everyone. Hard to even feel motivated at all to socialize or make friends. Ryan emailed me at least once or twice and I wanted to make plans to meet up with him this summer, but I still have this post-COVID... umm... rage I guess? I feel like nobody went through the shit I went through, losing my jobs, not working out for 8+ months, feeling like I wanted to just lose it on this shit society. The way I made it through the tough times was just withdrawing completely and now I don't even feel like I want to participate in, well, anything.

Just feels like COVID never ended and I'm still surrounded by dipshits and faggots that would put the mask back on and line up for COVID shots again if they were told to. I would fucking SNAP if that shit ever happened again. I couldn't handle a fucking single more day of that utter bullshit.

My 20's were easy as fuck... all I did was drive fast cars, fuck hot bitches, and live in cool places...

That was a direct result of having no "teenage years" because my family was so fucked, from like grade 6 until I went through 11 different high schools and dropped out, I had a nightmare of a time. I only made it because I hung out with older drug dealers and bad asses!

From like 10 years old until like... 19, 10 until 19, life was total shit. Then I started making money, then I started making FAT PORN MONEY, and from like 20-35 was amazing. Then I started trying to find deeper meaning to life than drugs, liquor, and pussy.

Once my kid was born, I quit porn and I was happy to go back into the "real world", and I really enjoyed it. I liked helping disabled seniors and I liked working dispatch at B.C.'s 2nd largest traffic control company. My kid was super happy too.

Then COVID hit.

Ever since COVID... I've had this desire to watch Canada burn. All the shit I went through... like seriously, I fucking hate this country now. I have this rage inside me... I shouldn't talk much online about it, but I honestly hope to watch this country burn at some point. It would make me so happy for what this shithole place put me through. I fucking HATE Canada with such a passion now, and how does someone who hates their country succeed inside of it? Obviously my life is in a paradoxical state where I can't and don't want to leave because I have a child here, but I can't succeed in a nation that hates my fucking guts. Life from like 20-35 was blissful as fuck, and life from 36-42 was difficult BUT REWARDING... but post-COVID? I just want this country to fucking burn.

The Canadian government is importing 3,000+ browns per day to replace my culture and replace me, what exactly can I do about it?

I really don't think it is going to be apparent to people just how fast we are importing our replacements until another decade passes and there is nothing left of the Canada we once knew. The boomers are the vast majority of "old school" Canadians that are going to all pass away in the next 10-20 years.

Gen X Canadians, such as myself, know that the younger generations have no clue what Canada once was. The fabric of this country has shifted so incredibly in the last 10 or so years and the culture has already been totally astroturfed. The fact that the whole "conceptions of whiteness" art exhibit hasn't been vandalized... we're in for either complete and total submission or a cultural awakening.

The only thing people like myself can do is try and enjoy life, laugh at how fucking ridiculous everything is, and watch our kids grow up.

COVID was the moment Canada had to possibly rise up and throw off our shackles, and it ended with bank accounts frozen, totally negative media coverage, and a complete normalization of government tyranny. They could bring another round of masks and "vaccines" at any moment, and how many people would be willing to die to fight the government?

You have to understand that the average normie Canadian only has a couple things on their minds:
>what their mortgage interest rate is
>working their normie job
>their hockey team
That's it... that's your average Canadian. Once you have met a handful of Canadians, you've met them all. The personality variation of your average Canadian is so microscopically small and the conformity is so large that you can meet someone from Nanaimo, Prince George, Kelowna, or Calgary and, chances are, they share 98% of their personality and beliefs in common. If they're "progressive", you can get along with them no problem because you know exactly the positions on subjects they have and you can play to that to get them to like you, and if they're the "fuck Trudeau" crowd, it is the same. You immediately know both of these types of personalities as you've encountered them time and time again. It is so ass-blastingly rare to meet ANYONE who "thinks outside the box" that to do so is like finding a unicorn just chillin' in the wild. It doesn't really happen. This winter, I worked for some VIPs from the USA as a private driver for a couple weeks, and while they were redpilled as fuck, they even said that speaking up in the USA is a career death sentence and there is no benefit to being redpilled. All of the women, all of the careers, all of the media, everything is designed to keep people playing in the realm of "librul vs conservatard" and if you don't pick a team and work your way up, the "3rd option" is basically poverty and obscurity. There is no "3rd option" because the entire fabric of society is astroturfed, fake, and gay. It is the same in Canada, you either play within the completely fake and gay system, or you're out in the cold with no way to provide for yourself. Everything is unbelievably fake and the people are so completely programmed to be the most normiest normies of all time. It feels like the beginning of a dark age of humanity at this point, and it all happened SO fast.

The drug policies are designed to eliminate the misfits, we don't need gulags or concentration camps because that is what our streets are for. It also acts as a deterrent to the younger generations who are thinking of any rebellious thoughts.

In history, we had public hangings and things like the gibbet to act as a warning to others, and in modern times we have homeless people, drug addicts, and visible grinding poverty to keep people motivated to stay on the treadmill. To be any sort of conscientious observer and commentator on modern life is to notice these things, especially post-COVID where the spirit of rebellion has been so totally broken. The only "free range humans" anymore ARE the crackheads, which is why the drugs MUST be poisoned to remove those misfits from modern society.

I know we might not agree on this subject, but the drugs are poisoned and poverty is setup in a way so that people who don't conform are killed slowly. I've experienced it myself during and after COVID, and surely without my baby momma on my side, I would've been in a tent myself! Gas stations would not even hire someone unvaxxed. I was very lucky, but I understand most people aren't.

Having lived in the neighbourhood down there for 6-7 years, I got to know a bunch of locals, and during the years of 2014-2015, I think about 7-8 people I knew died from fent in the cocaine, and two other young women I knew ended up becoming drug addicts and prostitutes to feed their addictions. These weren't hardcore street addicts, these were normal people who, mostly, moved here from other parts of Canada and got caught up in the lifestyle, made a few wrong choices, and ended up addicted to painkillers and benzos. Even Jordan fucking Peterson was completely fucked by benzos and nearly lost his life. Drug use tends to target the highly intelligent, and all of the most intelligent people I've ever known have all been keenly interested in getting high. Me too! I have grown older and it seems like drugs are a trap for the thinkers- because government doesn't need thinkers, it needs workers and warm bodies, not people who are intelligent enough to see the system for what it is.

On the refugee stuff, I do support the US taking in CERTAIN refugees. Not all. The problem isn't solely the refugees, it's that there aren't enough government agents to process the huge wave of them coming through. I've met some amazing Somali, Ethiopian, Iraqi, Iranian, etc. people here in San Diego. Men, women, and children I've taught.

It's kind of like the cop problem. There are a few bad actors amongst them so they get unfairly judged as a group.

And as far as them getting government assistance, I was raised on welfare and food stamps. It would be hypocritical for me to judge them for getting help from the system when my heroin addict parents did the same thing until they died.

I mentioned Somalis, Ethiopians, Iraqis, and Iranians earlier. Try to keep up.

Have you been to any of those countries or are you just repeating what the news told you to repeat? I've been there and it's fine.

>Iranians
The first place one should seek refuge is in their own country. Iran is not 'wartorn'.
>Have you been to any of those countries
I see so if I haven't been there, Black September and the Lebanese Civil War didn't happen . Heh.

economic factors are not grounds for asylum.

I agree.
Granted, I hope Iran can correct Cyrus/Kourosh's mistake with the eradication of (((them))), who are the children of Ahriman. Almost all major problems can be traced back to (((them))), and in my view, Iran should be more anti-(((them))) in a deeper and more metaphysical way. So long as (((they))) continue to exist, new problems of a scale and magnitude we cannot conceive will be perpetuated.

The people I know who died were buying coke! Three dudes I was friends with/knew, one who worked the oil rigs, one who worked as a diamond driller up north, and the 3rd... my dealer.

The oil rig guy came back and showed off his new $8000 bicycle at the Blarneystone and did some rippers with us on a Friday night. We had a few drinks and then he walked to the Woodward's building to buy an 8ball from his dealer who lived there. We never saw him again until his girlfriend came and told us at the bar that she came home from work at like 3 AM on Friday night/Saturday morning and he was dead.

The diamond driller guy, he flew back into town and picked up some coke, he was supposed to party with his "girlfriend" that night and HE ended up OD'ing and dying. Found that one out through Facebook.

My dealer, the week I found out my baby momma was pregnant, I had already seen the two guys above die, and another couple of locals in Gastown, so when she told me she was pregnant, I decided to quit cold turkey. I had already moved out of Gastown and was renting a house in south Vancouver. That weekend, where I would normally pickup from him either outside of Funky Winkerbean's or "go for a ride in the limo", because he would rent a limo and be driven around downtown making tons of money selling coke... well... he died in the limo that weekend! He only sold coke and e.

The coke back in like 2014-2015 was definitely poisoned! Multiple people, multiple different dealers, It was 100% absolutely happening.

Haha no... I do know that when they were prescribing hydromorphone to addicts, and giving away the blister packs for free, one of the local hipsters at the underground bar in Strathcona was pissed because their brother who was in high school in Burnaby got ahold of one of the blister packs and had taken one at school thinking it would be a fun experience and it ended up fucking the kid up real bad. The "harm reduction" people had been giving out those hydromorphone blister packs and addicts took the skytrain to places like Metrotown and would deal the pills for $10 a pill and the kids would buy them thinking it was e or molly or whatever. When I talked to Frank during COVID, I believe he said they were taking the skytrain to Richmond and dealing hydromorphone there too.

I don't know if they're giving out the pills to just anyone for free without a prescription anymore, but who even knows what the plan is? (other than getting as many people addicted as possible because it just keeps expanding the government)
