The dragon does eat you more often than not, if you think you are fighting a dragon. One of the stupidest things you can do is to think of your problems as a dragon and yourself the upstart underdog in your own story - even more pathetic is the "shattered hero" who saunters home with a cuck slump and a limp dick, crying and pissing himself to sleep, humbled by "dragons". This is the price of thinking of your worldly problems as ferocious mythical beasts. Even as you overcome them, nobody sings ballads of your tale. No one sees you as a hero for overcoming them to begin with.
You see that douche who thinks maybe a little too highly of himself walking about with a swagger in his step, nothing bothering him? The living personification of Chad Thundercock? That guy is going to make it. To him, his problems aren't dragons; they're dinky little snakes and he is strutting on them, styling on them even. His enemies are weak, his problems are small, he sees all terrain, mountain or molehill, as easily traversible; they're the same to him, to the dismay of envious, unbelieving eyes, he can go anywhere and do anything. He is the "hero" in his own estimation and that's good enough for him.
Think of how the hero of these stories might see themselves. Think of how good Heracles (Arnold Edition) feels flexing his 30" biceps infront of a mirror. Yeah, exactly. Underdog struggling to overcome is the wrong fucking mindset to have - that's why this cuckold faileth.
In my life I am the one with the boss music, and I am going to embarass anything calling itself a "dragon".
It's a zero-sum scenario where the winning move was when the pieces were being put on the board. Retaliate and they are justified in coming down on you, don't retaliate and they'll simply bring the frog to a full boil.
Maybe the answer resides in how you retaliate, but judging how the world around us has gotten - particularly in most of Europe and the UK, that's going to be tricky without an angel investor quintillionaire.
We're headed back to SATOR-form Pater Noster Christianity by the looks of things.
There exists exactly 0 examples of his capitulation to their "values", and now that can never be harassed into the franchise with his "official" (coerced) blessing.
By shitting on him they are of course sour grapes-ing him altogether, but in their hubris they don't realize how badly they're boxing themselves into a corner with how big DBZ actually is and how sacrosanct Akira Toriyama is as a figure overall.
Absolute delusion and entitlement.
Sodom was much worse than the world westerners live in.
In terms of its visceral nature certainly, comparable to the rape mobbings in India no doubt - however, spiritually you can't escape this outcome if all of the pillars of Sodom are present. I look to all of the countries being flooded with turbanites and see nothing but the very same - almost all you hear about is rape, rape, rape. The germ of this is of course very present in our very naive ideas of multiculturalism and corrupt political system.
"Your land is desolate, Your cities are burned with fire; As for your fields, strangers are devouring them in front of you; It is desolation, as overthrown by strangers. 8 The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, Like a watchman’s hut in a cucumber field, like a city under watch. 9 If the Lord of armies Had not left us a few survivors, We would be like Sodom, We would be like Gomorrah."
Sounds mighty familiar, being under corrupt occupation and being pillaged by the lapels of our own kindness towards others.
"10 Hear the word of the Lord, You rulers of Sodom; Listen to the instruction of our God, You people of Gomorrah!"
I can think of a few people this should address.
"22 Your silver has become [i]waste matter, Your drink diluted with water. 23 Your rulers are rebels And companions of thieves; Everyone loves a bribe And chases after gifts. They do not obtain justice for the [j]orphan, Nor does the widow’s case come before them."
Except Sodom and Gomorrah were condemned as unpreferable outcomes by Christ himself as a direct rejection of his teachings, and they (Sodom and Gomorrah) are described in Isaiah 1 in fine detail - a picture of what the west is today.
What is wrong with not wanting to live in a simulacrum of Sodom and Gomorrah?
I don't think he takes into account how modern conveniences add up, or what constitutes actual goyslop, which is far worse than just raw calories. The kind of meal you prepare for yourself isn't the same in nutritional value as you'd find in junkfood of the same caloric value. You're also not really processing these things the same way either.
Also, if you have fucking burritos and boxed foods on your receipt you don't get to complain; shit's way more expensive than the raw ingredients. Show me someone with a lifestyle where they don't have a car, someone who carries all their groceries on their back and eats nothing but pork, chicken, eggs, vegetables, and rice - and I'll show you a skinny person.
