let's face it, most people are pretty dumb. for everyone one of us cool kids there are thousands of "sheeple" out there who are just part of the crowd. sure, they deserve three hots and a cot like the rest of us, but their concerns are petty and their tastes are mundane. we're dreamers, like steve jobs, if steve jobs wasn't a fucking idiot.
the blanco-american rapper eminem says you only get one shot. smart guy that 8-miler. is radical personal achievement compatible with radical politics? hell, i hope so, because i plan on being very successful. i've had a few road bumps but i think i can get back on the saddle and ride this life out into the sunset over the next half-century.
i think this is a great sharing opportunity for people to step up and tell us their goals and where they hope to steer their ships in the future years. i've heard some of your stories but there's always room for more.
Much that passes as idealism is disguised hatred or disguised love of power.

What if they think the same about you but for politics? It's easier to count notches on a bedpost than victories in the class war waging in your head.

why would he prefer to be a physicist rather than a mad alpha player though? The social rewards and status in picking up women is far higher than anything most scientists ever accomplish

hmm maybe we should eradicate the female gender through some sort of vat-based system of human cloning pools....

I'm sure if there was a way to combine theoretical physics with pussy drilling, those guys from the Big Bang Theory would've figured it out by now!

that's a really weird way to tell us you're bad with women

this is what atheists actually believe
Also, you're obsession with pathology is itself a pathology even more pathetic, as you are too weak to substitute intellectual passion for physical passion but instead substitute the passion of envy and self-hatred for politics which is already a replacement. Obviously the obsession with intellect and ascetic knowledge is a sign of degenerate slave morality, but the condemnation of it here is far worse.
Also lets not pretend the dumb frat bro is some spartan high intellectual, slave morality exists in all aspects of american life and the form picking up women takes (a science) is one of its forms.

Since communism eventually leads to being a guerrilla in the countryside, being a non-person on the run from the law, in exile, or in jail, or being part of an illegal organization that is run like a military with complete obedience to democratic centralism, epic this.
That being socialist (or any politics at all) is considered separate from social life and recreation only shows the cowardice of liberal politics and the weakness of the left.
a sobering thought.

ah yes, the science of picking up women... a "method" if you will.

No worries though - none of this is at all relevant, as people living now will not know equality or solidarity until the day we die, and hence whether we deserve it is beyond the point. For the short term there aren't even any immediate consequences. Nobody even any longer cares about being a hypocrite - I know I don't. It's an absolute certainty that 30 years now the only place for ideals is as fodder for snide jokes to make with other misanthropes at work, or as something to ironically laugh at when by accident you are reminded of what the world is actually like.
