"…I kept thinking of all the things I could do if I quit serving my fellow man … A man's folks come first"



The genius of the organized system or capitalism or modernity or ZOG or however you define it is that one day a man wakes up and decides that rather than giving his all for a fellow worker who will gyp him, a victim who resents him, a cause that doesn't need him, and ideas not worth considering, there's a worthwhile struggle and it takes its own kind of courage to just live a silly, parochial life for you and your own

or, if you're comfortable enough to not really need to put any extraordinary effort to maintain that comfort you can become a nice, comfortable liberal. which is subjectively pretty great imo

No, that's merely my confidant Dork Rex's milquetoast approach to late young adult reactionarism. You must sublimate and become a real flunky because you don't have a choice. It sounds and is quite emasculating but it also gives a false but still satisfying sense of agency.

at least she's smiling unlike that Anita Keirskgaardeyan lara croft chick, this looks like a positive project rather than one that preaches unhappiness

ah yes women live to bounce around on couches and make words with cut out letters and wear short dresses and smile for your pleasure



why belittle this woman for her creativity? strikes me as a somewhat sour approach

If you aren't committed to struggling for what's right regardless of failures, being taken for granted, unrecognized, disrespected, poorly/not paid, then you should take a look at your motives. It is ok to want these things to get better, don't get me wrong, and it is a good idea to look elsewhere for a better place to struggle if you are being treated like shit, but if you are going to bail out and abandon your values because you can be more comfortable as a liberal then you never had any values to begin with.

The left attracts highly motivated narcissists with no power on account of the promise of power to those who currently have none, and the sooner they figure out that they're not gonna get their selfish fulfillment here the sooner they can get the fuck out and the rest of us won't have to deal with their bullshit anymore.

perhaps you are confused iwc, i'm referring to the actual experience of going out into the world and working with people, not rolling your eyes at folks you've never met from the comforting glow of your monitor. i realize now that it might be difficult to tell the difference if one's experience of activism consists entirely of the latter, hopefully this post will clarify things for those poor unfortunate souls.

Sounds like a good idea worth building upon, maybe the Rhizzone could make a Kickstarter for a twee children's book so parents can get their kids interested in Marxism.

a few weeks ago i sat and watched my mom watch an episode of Dr. Oz where a studio audience full of grown women was taught lessons about dieting and Self Control by a singing Cookie Monster puppet as they clapped and cheered

so yes

every day now i find myself getting lost in these fantasies of how i would have used my bitcoin money to build a secure, off the grid compound out on my great grandmothers property, invite all my friends and family to live there together in a semi-neo-pastoral lifestyle, and then teach them how to maintain and operate the best automatic weaponry money can buy. is this kickstartable?
