Wokeness = misery. Normality = joy.

It has been so long since I last gazed upon genuine positivity.
Normality does not equal joy, but it allows for the possibility. Normality allows for you to live with all of life's ups and downs, and to maintain hope and resilience during the downs.
Years ago I read a reference to some research done on why some people survived things like POW camps and gulags (or just life threatening abuse) while others cracked. The writer claimed that the end result was people's attitude. People who were unreasonably pessimistic OR optimistic had the lowest chances of making it through mentally or physically. Someone who gives up and doesn't try is obviously a goner, but the same is true of people who forcibly deny the reality of their situation and maintain an unrealistic forced positivity.
The people with the best chances were the ones in the middle. They knew they were in a terrible spot, they knew they faced very real odds of not making it, but they also maintained an intrinsic desire to survive each moment.
THAT is normality versus wokeness.
Makes sense.
Someone who doesn't hope for anything doesn't try. Someone who hopes for too much gets shattered and stops trying.
I decided to take a look just to see and......
I found nothing. I went back all the way to the beginning of the year, and all I found was her tweets about wrestling/UFC, tweets about silly, pointless things, tweets with inspirational quotes from such people as Mr. Rodgers and Dolly Parton, and tweets that basically boiled down to "Dont be an asshole. Love each other. God loves everyone."
I didnt see anything even remotely political.
And considering how so far the US Athletes who have been winning have been the ones saying how much they love America, and its the America-Hating Wokiest who have been getting stomped on and losing, I would go so far as to say even Fate believes in "Get Woke, Go Broke."
PS: There was one tweet I thought could give us an idea into her thinking though. There was someone who compared her followers before and after her win, with that tweet going on to say "Its almost like being a winner is the best marketing you can get" with the implication that being Woke is worse marketing than "Winner'. And she retweeted it. So I think its safe to say she is not super on board with the Anti-America Woke Brigade.
I think we can fairly accurately surmise her personal politics.
Ehh... I thought she was a tranny at first glance. That face... very mannish.
Based musician was based, even if the track did get treated as if it was novelty cut back in the day. Women who are of the mindset that they're high-value (even if they aren't) will be nothing but problems for a guy.
She also made a tweet about how your own attitude has more to do with your own success and happiness than anything anyone else does. So at the very least, she is still sane.
While I'm no fan of the idea of"Ghanaian"-Americans, her happiness is contagious.
I thought you meant that she is actually an Ghanaian immigrant, and I thought: figures then that she is so patriotic.
Isn’t that what he means?
I think he meant black.
EDIT: maybe I should look at the Twitter link before rambling on next time :D That's cool! Quick! Better label her as part of the Alt-Right, Media! :D Nah, seriously, that's cool! Nice to see some Patriotism for a change! Especially in the Wokelympics.
....I will keep my O/T ramble up though...in case anyone wants to respond.
I don't know if normality allows for joy. I've been striving for normality for years and it's brought me no joy. What is normal? For some people, it's getting married, having kids and so on...for others? They'll spend a lifetime trying to find something. I'm in that position...I don't know what is normal. But all my years trying to strive for something normal hasn't left me happy. It's left me somewhat insecure to watch everyone else be "normal" while my life is far from it.
I don't have a wife, I don't have kids. I had ambitions to do other things. Some of which I don't know if I'm ever gonna be able to do.
But then, I look at my now (Ex) Friends and think "are they really happy? They had 5 kids on a single bare basic income. How responsible was that?" They're barely keeping the roof over their head but with the way this world is going, how long is that gonna last?
I don't know...like what is normal? Everyone has a different distinction on what their normal is.
I will agree that Wokeness is generally misery. Every woke person I've ever met usually strikes me as being FULL of self loathing and I think they project that self loathing as Wokeness. Trust me, self loathers can see self loathing and I can see it in them. They hate themselves and project it through their causes. It's the extremity of self hatred.
I pity them...because a lot of them are kids and they're gonna grow up to be miserable and speaking as someone who has dealt with self hatred issues (I was never woke but I have a lot of insecurity issues I'm dealing with), then I just pity them. They're gonna grow up and realize the sad truth at some point that their hatred is within.
But as far as normal...what is normal? I feel like that's the question every person is looking to answer. I've seen married couples who are miserable. "Normality" didn't work for them. I've seen other married couples who are perfectly okay. I don't know...I really don't know what normal is, it just seems normal is different for everyone.
I have nothing against traditional marriage...I have nothing against the family unit...if that's what makes someone happy then fine, so be it. Live life the way you see it...but does it make everyone happy? Striving for a life of supposed normality didn't make me happy. It just left me miserable. I feel like its only now I'm starting to accept that normality is different for everyone and one persons normal is anthers abnormal.
I think normality is like having plenty of food. Once you have it for a while it doesn't cause happiness, but it's sorta a prerequisite to be calm and happy. But what causes happiness - is different than what causes normality.
In my experience to be happy you have to engage the ego.
It's sorta volatile - it can also make you really miserable - but it seems like I have to have my ego on for something in order to feel happy.
Government-organized mass-migrations should be a thing.
Opposing governments should organize population swaps to move eachother's political malcontents to nations that share their views.
Hey now, cool it with the jew bashing.
I was thinking about Cuba and Canada to be honest.
This is some serious "America, fuck yeah" energy. I like it.
