I'm shocked that you have friends who aren't total retards!
I know, he only ever posts about the lefty friends, so this is a real change.
We got the idea that Alfredic was cowering somewhere in a corner, being surrounded by absolutely awful people, having to pretend that he's one of them, and using one of the bathroom breaks they allowed him to send messages of "HELP ME".
I thought he's a infiltrator we have behind enemy lines to tell us if their meme game improves.
NARRATOR: Their meme game did not improve.
Feels like that. I've had very good friends go suddenly left, and accuse me of stuff so I learned to keep quiet fairly well. If I post anything righty on social media, I get 12 comments about how wrong I am.
Alright but since you're on the inside, I'm giving you two code phases:
Disney is based: means they've gone off the deep end and you need extraction
Kardashians are smart: means you need eye bleach because you've seen some shit thanks to the lefties you know.
I will keep that in mind. The original Disney was based and took on the mob many a time.
I think women watch the Kardashians the same way fans watch professional wrestling.
"We're just trying to help you."
That's my favorite.
The threat underneath that is so sinister
TBH I feel like that sometimes. Though I don't think I do a very good job of hiding the fact I'm not on their team.
Sometimes I think the reason why people who live in places like Seattle or Portland long enough lose their grasp on reality is a variant of Stockholm Syndrome. Except your "captors" are a deranged ideology instead of deranged people.
There is a truth to that. You also find that things change when you get out of the bubbles. Portland might have a crazy city, but the Milwaukee area has a great gun store. Seattle sucks, but Tukwila can be tremendous. You can tell where you are based on how colorful it is. That's not a poetic statement, if it's gray it is local, if it has bright colors it's California infestation.
Believe me: I'm far enough from it that it keeps me sane, but close enough to it I see the damage it does to people in it.
Some people I've known for 20+ years, I see how it's changed them. If I could go back and tell them the things they would come to believe or do to themselves, I'm not sure they'd believe it.
I've had some depressing moments. At one point in Uni all of my friends went full stack lefty and would not get out. I went with a friend to a party that turned out to be an anti G8 protest. Covid insanity and riots. I knew how to get away and stay safe. Being a nerd means you grow accustomed to standing out, so learned to accept it.
Libertarian philosopher Albert Jay Nock believed in the idea of a "remnant." The remnant is a small group of people--a tiny group of people--those who see through the lies and propaganda and emotional appeals of society. He believed that when the shit really hit the fan, the remnant would be able to finally get something done.
I guess in modern day terms he was blackpill and accelerationist, but I often think about his idea of the remnant. Even if society continues to self-destruct, perhaps it's ok if there are just enough of us to hold the line and fight back when all others are losing their minds.
Interesting guy. He also wrote "On the Disadvantages of Being Educated."
I found out not too long ago that one of my oldest friends now thinks he's a woman, and everyone is going along with it as though it's no big deal: you hit middle age, what else do you do but decide you're a woman? Doesn't everybody?
I'm used to standing out politically, but this just makes me feel like I'm living amongst demons. I increasingly cannot describe what I'm thinking and seeing without resorting to religious language and concepts.
I see you only consider me an acquaintance.
I'm shocked too, considering it's so easy to find those kinds of people nowadays. The closest thing I have to a "retarded" friend is Steve, and even then much of his stupidity only comes from being drunk.
Thrust! Parry! Stab, stab, stab, STAB! Oh-ho-ho-HO! Ohhh...he ain't pretty no more.
May the same thing happen to the actors.
Winner gets thrown the fuck overboard.
This should be a whole thing
I'll take it.
Ok THAT'S funny!
Maybe it's just that the right can introspect more that they are getting funnier than some comedians that went down the virtue signalling hole.
