Is it though?
Do you remember the first time you played a video game as a child? Do you remember the joy you got from it? Do you remember just wanting to wakeup and play those video games that you got great enjoyment out of. Could you do this again, today? To the same extent? A lot of people can't and imo, that's normal. If video games don't work for you then watch a child as they play with some dolls. It's always precious to watch because of the joy children get over things so basic. That's an experience you don't get back. Why is that? Well, in a lot of ways I think that's because these experiences are part of our overall development as humans and once you've had these experiences and you've grown they simply aren't the same for you. They served their purpose then but they don't serve the same purpose anymore.
I remember I went on some super expensive 2 week psychological program retreat thing to supposedly help people and one activity they did was get a whole bunch of adults to play as if they were children. They were trying to get people back to that childlike center. It doesn't really work but it's a tool they used because they knew not a lot of adults have that ability to feel joy/pleasure in the manner they did when they were a child.
You use drugs as an example. What if life is a drug and I've already experienced the highs enough there's no high left for me to chase or worse the only highs left for me to chase will ruin me in the process of chasing like a meth addict chasing the next high?
You say what I'm experiencing is not normal. Or maybe lots of normal people just haven't had the same highs as me so they still have things to chase? What do you think I should do? Take drugs? Go to a psychologist? Those are both laughable and would make things worse not better.
Sure, just send me $100 for a deposit and then I'll send you $1000 after you give me your advice.
I can feel pleasure just not by anything reasonably acquired in life.
I agree what's going on in Palestine and Syria is pretty bad. Who should I be helping to bring down the American and Israeli governments to stop what's going on there? Helping the individual people impacted doesn't seem to properly address the underlying issue. That is, the American and Israeli governments and the shadow oligarchy that supports them. I'm pretty sure to stop them, I'd need to become a terrorist though...
There's always someone who wins the game of poker, always. It doesn't mean everyone playing has a reasonable chance of winning. Why aren't you President of the United States? There's always a president every 4 years, just try harder... That's a false end to pursue. If one was truly on a trajectory to become president they'd already know. Most people's lives can be accurately determined based on their situation in life when they were 20yo. There's exceptions but those exceptions tend to be based on chance more than anything else.
How does one jump out of the matrix. I imagine everyone here, yourself included, is still in the Matrix so I'm not sure if that answer can be found here.
I like taking risk. I gamble lots, for fun. Not all risks are worth taking though. Anyone could take their life savings and put it on red at the casino but most people don't. Why? That's because they know it's a bad risk. On average, you will lose. I work in finance. One of my previous job titles was risk manager. I essentially have a master's in stats specializing in valuing risk. I know what are good risks and what aren't. Most risks out there are bad risks but the only reason people take them is because they don't know how to measure risk. You won't hear the stories of the people whose risk failed but you will hear of the successes. Anytime I see a risk worth taking, I take it.
My favorite superhero is Thanos and he just seemed to have immense power rather than gadgets. Batman and Ironman are filthy rich though, which I will never be. If I had that kind of money I probably would do shit like Elon Musk. Just buy companies to troll people for the lawls.
I've done em all. Drugs are overrated imo. I still do them. They don't really do much for me.
I felt a little like this when I was younger but I thought as I improved myself, I'd better be able to do things I enjoy. Unfortunately, as I got older I realized the things I thought I enjoyed when I was younger were not what they seemed at all. Much of what I was sold about our society was false. As I've experienced more of society, the more I've felt this way.
I work in banking serving clients much richer than me. All of them want to get richer but even though they're starting from more wealth than me not all of them are going to get anymore wealthier than they are except normal expected growth of their existing wealth no different than throwing my money into the stock market. So do succeed and others declare bankruptcy.
Seeking this kind of wealth seems like a bad move. If it was attainable everyone would be that rich.
I could focus all my energy to that goal but then I'd just be upset for not reaching it and frankly I don't care to reach it. I spent 10 years of my life trying to reach it and don't have too much to show for it. I guess I got closer so realistically if I spent another 30 on it, I might get to $300k instead of $150k but that's not going to significantly change my life. I'd need to win the lottery realistically.
I don't enjoy helping people. I used to do a lot of volunteering and charity work when I was younger. I just found most people don't really need the help. Most people's problems in life are of their own making and I feel justice is a higher calling than charity. What most people need is to face the consequences of their actions instead of being helped by others so they never have to. I think, at least for Canada, the best help for everyone that people can receive is no help at all. Stop feeding the animals. Only then can these people truly be motivated to elevate themselves.
I have assets and each month I acquire about $3000 more assets. My income is as high as it will ever get. There's absolutely 0 way for me to reasonably increase it anymore. I've capped out. It's a matter of luck and timing at this point rather than anything in my control.
Yeah, that's not the worst idea actually. I guess I could try something like that. Any recommendations for equipment to start with?
Still, this just seems like another distraction at best but I guess that's all life is. Keep yourself distracted and occupied until you die.
Just check the person's LinkedIn profile if you want to discriminate. That's why it exists.
This could be fake but I also could see some smaller company having this as part of their job application.
If I was any good at videos, I'd start the video with me talking in my house normally about how amazing my life was going while walking around my house and maybe slicing some meat while doing some cooking. I'd talk about graduate university, banging hot chicks, getting a new car, new place, making money off bitcoin and a whole bunch of shit. After a couple minutes, I'd add special effects where things start going blurry and it's like whoever is watching is actually on psychedelics and it's just a dream.... then I'd wake up in a hospital bed, covered in bandages from head to toe, in a cast and the doctor standing over me telling me I might never gain mobility again, then fast forward again to me in a wheelchair, deformed and handicapped in my house where I started the video with the video zooming out on me a little and then just ending the frame slowly with me just in my kitchen in the wheelchair staring across the counter.
That's about how i feel my life has gone.
This is correct and I feel a lot of them want people to do case studies and other things just because they get joy out of seeing how much time others wasted on jumping through the hoops.
Humans rights are designed to restrict your natural rights.
Europe is a joke. You think immigration in the USA is bad? It's worse in Europe. The countries are all overtaxed and dying. The people are weak faggots for the most part. The women control the men and are ugly and crass. Europe is a shithole.
Europe would be better off if Russia conquered them. Fuck Europe.
You have to act obsessed with them. Like a desperate simp enamored by their vagina. It's difficult to fake because it's demeaning so if it's not genuine, it's usually easy to see through. Women want slaves. They want a man that will do everything for her. Being superior in looks isn't good enough. Believe it or not lots of "Chads" are actually pathetic simps.
Hmm... You don't think fat feminists want to be fucked?
Any time I hear someone use the root word nuance, I know whatever is being said can't be good.
Germany during Hitler's reign wanted to end jewish influence in Europe because they felt that influence was degenerate to the health of the nation.
The modern left believe Palestinians are victims of oppression from Israel and therefore take any side which is anti-Israel.
Both groups are right. Something many leftists probably don't know is that Hitler was in fact quite pro-Palestine at the time to the same degree as many leftists are today:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/7e6h6WBM6YrN/
Similarly the fact has obviously escaped Mr. Roosevelt's notice that Palestine is at present occupied not by German troops but by the English; and that the country is undergoing restriction of its liberty by the most brutal resort to force, is being robbed of its independence and is suffering the cruelest maltreatment for the benefit of Jewish interlopers. The Arabs living in that country would therefore certainly not have complained to Mr. Roosevelt of German aggression, but they are voicing a constant appeal to the world, deploring the barbarous methods with which England is attempting to suppress a people which loves its freedom and is merely defending it.
This, too, is perhaps a problem which in the American President's view should be solved at the conference table, that is, before a just judge, and not by physical force or military methods, by mass executions, burning down villages, blowing up houses and so on.
For one fact is surely certain. In this case England is not defending herself against a threatened Arab attack, but as an uninvited interloper, is endeavoring to establish her power in a foreign territory which does not belong to her.
Wait, is this Hitler being against White Supremacy Colonialism? lol...
I think you yourself have now an entirely different idea of what an incel is than everyone else as well; hence, this label is worthless.
- What's wrong with extremism? I would argue that our society demands extremism to fix and people who are not extreme are a problem.
- Is inceldom a choice? I feel men are forced into it, hence the "involuntary" part.
- Are incels gaslighted into the incel mindset or are men gaslighted into any mindset except inceldom?
I feel any man who is honest about himself and women is likely single and will be the rest of his life. Only men who've managed to deceive themselves about the truth can possibly be in a relationship with a woman in modernity or they won the lottery. Incel should be the default position of all men.
Well, for myself personally, it's kind of involuntary in a way. It's similar to female "incels". We all know the women could get sex anytime they wanted to if they lowered their standards. I could do the same. I'd rather not have sex than lower my standards though.
I'd totally have sex with attractive women on a moments notice but I am unwilling to put time/money in to have sex with these women because it isn't worth it and the women I don't need to put time/money in to have sex with aren't worth having sex with for free.
The label "incel" now just means men who understand our culture's gynocratic leanings and the nature of women.
The immigration act was happening regardless of the religious makeup of the country. This was already decided post WWII as the plan for all western countries. It's no surprise almost all White dominant countries passed similar laws in and around the same times.
You may have a point for the Catholic Church (Vatican) having a part to play in multiculturalism worldwide and perhaps the Vatican used its influence to help push these types of laws globally but the Vatican seemed to have supported fascism in Italy and perhaps even supported the Germans. The Vatican has been fighting its own war internally and losing with Vatican II sealing the Catholic Church's fate also. The problem IMO stems more from the money and power of the bankers and their influence in the late 1800s and early 1900s than it has to do with the Catholic Church specifically.
I think you overplay the impact of the Catholic Church on our overall outcome these days. The Catholic Church hasn't done enough to oppose things from getting to where they are today but neither has any group of anyone.
Here's an example of some stats in 2010.
If you scroll down you can see the breakdown between White, Hispanic and Black Catholics and Protestants regarding whether they want more border security or path to citizenship for immigrants.
The White Catholics and Protestants are very similar in their beliefs. It's the Hispanic Catholics that have a significant difference in belief wanting path to citizenship over better border security.
These stats would support my view more than yours that race is far more important than religion.
I don't doubt that the USA would be better if it was just the founding protestants but that's because they were White. If all we took in were White Catholics, I don't think that would have had such a detrimental impact on society. The real overall negative impact was jews and Africans and now Hispanics. They are ultimately what is killing the country. The non-Whites.
What was your great great grandfather like? It's actually proven but most everyone is forgotten in a few generations even if they have children.
I know myself and children would not give me purpose. And given the way women are, the most likely scenario if I have children is divorce, alimony, child support and then once the children are old enough they give me a call once a month maybe seeing them once a year. But ultimately, nothing of my life changing. No thanks.
