We keep posting the same articles over and over about how the left does something stupid/racist/hypocritical to advance its agenda.
It's so damn obvious that I can read the article and predict all the responses before even entering the comment section.
Yeah, the 2020 election was most likely rigged. Yeah, Antifa/BLM gets away with months of terrorism while people defending themselves (Rittenhouse) get shit on for existing. Yeah, Covid is blown way out of proportion. Yeah, the vaccines are at best a money making ploy, at worst literal population control. Yes, western nations are deliberately being subverted and destroyed with mass immigration. Yes, the schools and the media have largely been taken over by leftist ideologues. Yes, man hating feminists are intentionally pushing policies to make it easy to destroy men with simple accusations. Yes, powerful groups of elites are rewriting history to their own benefit.
It's so damned obvious to anyone paying attention that its almost redundant to keep talking about this.
I am not down playing any of this or saying it should be ignored. What I am saying is that we keep repeating this over and over and nothing is coming from it.
What the hell are we supposed to do?
They want you down trodden, beaten, and demoralized. Don't give them what they want. Better yourself everyday and steel your will against the degeneracy of the modern world.
You are not an active player in the world of politics or even the culture war. Accept it and detach from it. Work to insulate yourself from any catastrophic failure of the system. Thrive and enjoy the show from afar, ready to step up when the progressive hegemony falters. Ride the tiger.
Demoralization is enemy action.
Never take the L. Name one instance where a Leftist has ever taken an L willingly.
This is their strongest weapon: the left are incapable of demoralization, only exhaustion. They lose their momentum in a given campaign, but they will never, under any circumstance, accept defeat. Even in the face of unquestionable facts. Even in the face of the blinding light or reality. Even when all the universe tells them "you've clearly made a mistake here", they will never accept defeat, or even the possibility that they were wrong. Their delusion is a feature, not a bug.
That's why they love pushing the right to accept defeat. It's because the right does. That's why they think your idiots that are deserving of extermination. You're weak and stupid, and you'll come along when forced. They would never give up even when standing among the ash of their civilization.
I'm not saying get delusional, but the right needs to learn how to build a proper moral core for itself to rely on and work off of. Black-pilling gets us nowhere.
To add further to that, I would argue that part of the reason that they are experiencing problems is because a significant chunk of the Right (the grassroots at least) IS starting to take a "Dont get mad, get even." attitude toward the Left, and are starting to put their foot down. And like you say, this is not an attitude they are used to and dont really know how to deal with. So they default to the only tactic they know: "The beatings will continue until morale improves." And obviously, this doesnt actually move anything in their direction, and is just making the bear angry.
That attitude is also not a solution. Vengeance and resentment won't do a fucking thing, and will help rally the ignorant and uninformed against the right.
The correct attitude is:
Anti-fragility and aggression are needed on the right which doesn't have that kind of mentality for it (which is why you keep seeing military personnel on the right dominate the discussion).
Seize the initiative means stop reacting and make your opponent react to you.
Dictate tempo means make your opponent constantly react to your actions and not the other way around. You'll need aggression and persistence with that.
Accept losses is important. I don't mean accept defeat, I mean accept losses. Accept that as you act more aggressively, you will be hit by counter attacks that will do damage. Yes, you might lose your job, your home, your friends, your family, etc. But it's actually worth taking the loss and still accomplishing your objective.
Throw elbows is my way of putting some god damned aggression into the right. Yes, you will be attacked by the left at some point some way. Don't back down, get in, get close, and get aggressive. Throw a fucking elbow. You'll get into a fight, take a little loss, but you'll have blunted their aggression by getting in their face. Most Leftist strategy relies on momentum. Blunt the momentum by stepping well into their reach and putting them off balance and on the defensive.
Honestly, I think the whole strategy can be summed up into: "Throw fucking elbows", because throwing an elbow successfully requires all of the above. You get aggressive, you step in, you disrupt the attack, your seize the initiative, you now dictate the tempo. Shits a game changer.
They censored the president and stole an election. You can't dictate crap. The only thing to do is throw out every leftist talking point.
Take your bio-lenninst failure whining back to the corner you sulked out from.
If you insist upon defeatism, the defeat yourself and leave people stronger then you not to be poisoned by your worthless bawling.
Actually fighting back is not defeatism. Fag.
Nah, fuck the left. They get what they deserve.
If you take the get even attitude, you'll fail.
You do not play the enemy's game unless you intend to lose. You seize the initiative to make the enemy play your game.
We’re already failing. We need to change tactics.
(I dont really get what you said that caused so many downvotes)
I think we are making the same point and I just phrased it poorly. What I was getting at is that, what Trump said was true: He had to teach the Right how to win. And while a lot of the actual political class are either refusing to go along (your Liz Cheneys and Romneys), a lot of them are being dragged kicking and screaming along by the now "Mad as hell, Wont take it anymore" base. And those who refuse to get with the program are slowly but surely being purged for those who will fight. Because I guarantee you that it is no coincidence that the 2 biggest funded people in the Republican party (and IIRC, the House in general) are Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Its also why we have seen more and more states start to actually pick up the torch and fight back with laws that give both the Left and the Feds the finger, and there is really nothing they can do about it. The coalition that the Left has relied on has also started to show as the different identity groups have started started fighting over power, because to put it simply, there can be only one "Most Oppressed Victim Group" and the power that comes with it. I would go so far as to argue that the reason that they are losing their previous hold over the Hispanic population is for exactly this reason.
And all of that has thrown their momentum off. Additionally, I was listening to Michael Malice interview with Dave Rubin, and I think he brought up an interesting point that in the Rights favor for the near future. For perhaps the first time in political history, and certainly the first time in recent history, it is the Republicans who are the ones being fun, since the Left is now in the throws of a highly puritanical secular religion (Wokeness) and its driving away many people who do creative endeavors and sending them to places like Texas and Florida. And this will potentially cause a Bandwagon effect wherein people WANT to join because everyone else is. Meanwhile, the Lefts cultural institutions are running on nothing but momentum that is petering out as more time passes and they become more and more openly hostile to the average person.
That said, I do wonder about the viability of what I have seen people called the "Dexter Doctrine", the name people are giving to the phrase of "Cancel the Cancellers." I feel like hitting back at them is warranted, or at least not saving them when the Cancel Mob comes for them. But at the same time, that may just be Hyde talking, because Jekyll says that may be a poor idea that has significant chance to backfire and turn off normies.
I see a Leftist has down-voted you.
Nothing you said is wrong.
Everything you said is correct.
I've mentioned it before -- not to be "downtrodden" or "negative" but to be realistic -- everyone needs to start storing food, prepping your family and stocking up on supplies.
The Left already won. They own everything. The audits have already found enough evidence of corruption and malfeasance that in any normal run State there should have been firings and jail-time along with prosecutions for treason. Yet the whole thing is a farce, with the Democrats still running interference and trying to bury the audits under obfuscation and obstruction (things that would have otherwise landed normal people in prison a long time ago for blatant election meddling, which is illegal).
In any case, you have the right mind frame. We aren't getting out of this. They control everything. The best people here can really do to help themselves is to help themselves by stockpiling resources and finding a safe place to hide, preferably near some kind of irrigation that has working toilets. It will only get worse.
No one cares about a single downvote.
I needed to hear this.
Wouldn’t following your advice potentially mean discontinuing using this forum, i.e. detachment?
If it is detrimentally influencing you, yes.
Well, how can reading about all this bad stuff happening not be upsettting?
The same way it isn't upsetting reading about the slaughter at Cannae or Diocletian's socialist hell. Emotionally detach yourself from it, as if you are Amish and reading about the horrors of the English world. Stand strong as a man amongst the ashes of civilization, immune to the degeneracy. Become the ubermensch.
Endure, in Enduring, grow strong.
Talk to your next-door neighbors and friends, and at a minimum rule out people in your life who cannot be trusted. Make yourself useful in your immediate community.
Start trying to detach yourself from the Woke economy. I'm starting to grow some fruit and nut trees so I have a source of food that I control. Maybe someday I'll do the chickens and livestock thing, but that's not something I'm planning to do yet.
Chickens are very easy to grow and keep. But you have to be in a more rural area or neighbors start to mind.
My father in law grows chickens we use them for the kids as a healthier alternative.
I had to let a lot of it go. Keep aware and continue to bitch about it, discuss, make snarky remarks, etc. sure. But it's just that, I'm not all mentally tied up in it anymore. If the time comes for action, we'll know and I'm ready. I've said forever that getting demoralized over it is a win for them, and I'll be the first to say I've not been perfect at that. I'll keep remembering though and trying to not let them win.
Otherwise, my suggestion is find something new and different to do. Particularly good in my opinion is something that takes some time, learning, and exercises your brain Is there one of those things you always wanted to learn, always wanted to do, was going to do someday, etc? Someday is now, go do it, jump in headfirst. It's totally changed my mental state.
Keep on keeping on that's what I'm doing
Understatement of the century.
But anyway, remember that they want you to feel hopeless and that you can't win. Things will always get better, no regime has lasted forever.
The male-female war will end as soon as muslims take over Europe.
Mass rape (rape actually requires 4 male witnesses to be proved in a Sharia court) is a stated goal
Remember to take a break if things get too stressful. Just do what you can to take any small steps towards making your own life better.
I would also suggest watching videos by Asha Logos and Vertigo Politix to hear some more voices of reason as well.
Go through your game backlog, we all have one, and play something from it.
Then come back, a bit more refreshed. The news will still be here, as you've pointed it. If you missed anything, it will merely happen again and again as time passes.
At this point, we are at gorilla tactics. Strike when an opportunity presents itself, and wait until the next opportunity. The wait can feel interminable, never knowing when the next attack will come or when you can go on the offensive. It is very demoralizing. But this is something that's well insulated where found and not something we can confront in a conventional manner. Less WWII and more Vietnam. Get to know the locals, spread the good redpill, kick commie ass.
Hi Mike.
America is fallen. God will win anyway, without her. Protect your own; love your locality; be the good that failed our once-country.
Welcome, gray-pill.
Make something, even if it’s to vent. You have some kind of God-given talent, some reason for being here amongst all the insanity, you might just not know what it is.
We got here because the crazies wanted something and made it happen. Do the same, but not in their vein.
Be the change you want to see, because the only one you can control at the end of the day is yourself.
Also, un-ironically go touch some grass. We’ve all been cooped up too long, so go get some fresh air/find some nature. When I do that, it refreshes me.
Work out. Prepare and find God.
I find it helps my sanity to only consume the news and sites like this in small to moderate doses. If you look at my posting history, I'll sometimes go days, weeks, or even months between posting on this site and its Fagit predecessors. Play some games, go to the range, hire a hooker, just do something that isn't about our cancerous political environment.
Empower yourself to empower those around you:
https://communities.win/c/ConsumeProduct/p/12ighX2yCu/there-are-more-things-in-heaven-/c/
Keep talking about it, grow the community, bring these topics as much as possible in real life, normalize discussing these things at work, school, or in your family. Push the overton window. Make it hard for the media and big tech to marginalize as deplorables. Ask politicians their positions and vote accordingly. But don't put much hope in them. Be prepared for the worst.
Always be honest with yourself. Make sure your logic is sane and be ready to argument your believes to yourself and others. .
Hopefully you have some people around you in RL that you can talk this crap with but do not over do it. Find people that you can be 100% honest with.
Get in to hobbies that are more resistant, DnD 3.5 for instance. Pay more attention and time on your family, job and physical fitness, go to shooting ranges if you are not already.
Live your life as best you can.
I get black pilled regularly but then I focus on stuff like what I mentioned before and I get better. I also avoid any politics on the weekends.
Organize locally. Try to talk to your neighbours, gun club, church group. See if you can get involved in the local council, sheriff, or election board
Take advantage of it. Use it to your own benefit. Realize that most humans are too stupid to care about these things. They are stupid to the point of fighting for these thing, against their best interests. You cannot overpower the will of the people, no matter how retarded their will is.
I know that sounds defeatist but this isn't a battle worth fighting. You and I oppose a lot of things that have an incredibly negative impact on society, yet when we voice our concerns that same society begins autistically screeching at us. Do you really want to fight for that society? Do you really want to keep caring about them?
Fuck them, man. Find a way to exploit them. That's what the elites do.
The majority of the people, time and time again, prove that they don't give a shit about liberty. They just want to be fed, entertained, and big daddy government to save them from any bad things that might occur.
The glories of freedom are wasted on those who actively advocate for their own enslavement.
I look for black on black crime news to cheer myself up. The Israel/Palestine conflict and watching them kill each other off is helping too.
First you get on the lifeboat: https://www.biblewaytoheaven.com/salvation.html
Then you accept that things will on the whole get much worse before they get better (for an eternity thanks to Jesus Christ), that the spiritual precedes/supersedes the physical (which will all be destroyed someday), get to to thinking in larger timespans (storing your treasures in heaven), and accept that the true Christians are to occupy until Jesus Christ comes back.
I think this is because our community is just a constant stream of events. Reddit encourages this with threads that stay on the front for a short time and then fade away.
What we need to do is take these events and refine and process them. First they should be sorted and categorized. Then we should compute statistics. Finally the statistics and well-chosen examples should be used to create a well-supported narrative that can be easily presented to friends and family.
Personally I think that a wiki is the perfect tool for a community to collaborate like this. So that would be my suggestion. We should create a wiki. The wiki should be modded by someone trusted in our community like DoM or AoV (who might delegate to other people) to ensure it's a place for us to build our world view, and isn't griefed or edited by our enemies.
This wiki would contain all significant events that we discuss here, but would also have articles about trends and phenomena, and maybe the final distillation would be a single shareable page "how the world works for dummies", that would summarize and link to the trends which would in turn link to the different events.
Join the smallest local organisation you can and start taking power from the ground up.
Local councils, HOA's, school boards etc etc.
Make connections with your neighbours. Find out their names.
There is a lot to lose by acting too soon. While already bad, our situation has to reach a critical mass before the bend becomes a break. Don't let that demoralize you. Change IS coming.
Turn to God. There have been innumerable times in history where a people felt all was lost forever, but the ending to the human story is already written and it is a good one. Focus on building your own virtue. You can best influence the world by shining as a positive example.
Thank God for living in an era where moral error is so obvious. If the old world wasn't up to snuff, thank God that it is perishing.
Form local groups. Devise action plans. Implement them.
I’d like to see more gaming related content too. I mean the current format is fine on Reddit because there are so few places to speak out. But here I often see the same meme at least 3-4 times on this site and a lot less original content here than the Reddit page.
I think c/gaming is crushing this place.
Compile and use the articles posted here as evidence to discredit leftism.
It's why I post mine.
please don't fall for the bullshit posted here. the vaccines are rather cheap. if this was a money making scheme, it would have to be the entire world's governments and medical institutions that are in on it. it's also pretty cheap. surely they would have price gouged to a massive degree. the facilities administering the vaccines are making more per dose than the pharmaceutical companies who made them.
They have immediate and dangerous competition. Price gouging runs the risk of them getting priced out by their competitors, which when you have maybe a year of this market to make profit on a single day could be a huge loss.
I hate to go full conspiracy, but what part of the Corona response from almost the entire Western society leads you to think there isn't significant collusion?
Things are rarely as raw evil conspiracy as they seem, but its also foolish to think that those at the top aren't milking things that happen for all they are worth constantly.
there's only a handful of competitors. if this was a true conspiracy, they could have easily colluded with the other manufacturers to agree to a much higher price. the government probably would have bought these doses at 10x the cost.
healthcare prices are ridiculous when it's the insurance or other large non-consumer base actually paying for them, even when there's supposed to be competition.
And when you take into account the hundreds of millions (if not billions) of doses being manufactured, that money all adds up.
I personally think the population control theory is more likely, but your logic is retarded nonetheless.
they're definitely making money, but not at a scale that tricking (or colluding with) the entire world makes sense.
Thanks. i need to get off this site
Look I respect your position but I just don't agree with it. True, there's a lot of goofiness about the vaccines on all sides of the issue. But I know damned well through personal experience how private interests purchase government collusion. Pharma has lawmakers in their pocket. Legislators and executives are paid shills. Most medical organizations are pass-throughs for messaging from their parent orgs and trust networks, and higher up the food chain those orgs are bought and paid for. If most of your government is telling you to do a thing, be deeply skeptical about that thing and who benefits from it.
I don't like this line of reasoning because someone could say "the government wants you to wear seatbelts, so it must be the automaking industry lobbying them to make money off of this feature"
Comment Reported for: Rule 2 - violent speech
Quit being bananas.
I just noticed you deleted my post, could you explain why?
When you mentioned what should have been done as a threat if the police process the arrests. That really is on the level of glorifying a significant amount of violence.
I don't necessarily disagree with you, but calling out politics as dopamine-inducing in the same comment that you're suggesting vidya is kind of weird.
Not the parent but at least with videogames it's pretty obvious you're wasting time. Being on this site feels strangely productive even tho its not. Hell even /pol/ is better.
