@VRCT25 And the worst part of it is that most of the ones who don't exhibit this frustrating tendency are sellouts. They would sacrifice everything that makes us who we are at the altar of a very american form of capital worship where all value is ultimately monetary.

@VRCT25 My issue with my own people, honestly, is that their resentment blinds them to their own capacity for improvement. Historically oppressed groups, not unlike former losers in adulthood, have this knee-jerk reaction to blame their big bully of yore for, well, everything.

@VRCT25 I've noticed that oriental diaspoops often have a habit of weirdly longing for the home of their forefathers (which doesn't exist anymore, hence the tension and disconnect.) Occidental diaspoops have a tendency to develop a weird superiority complex vis a vis the old country.

young couples trying to raise a family in our clown economy are admirable bordering on heroic, so if you have kids, its actually a patriotic duty to invade spaces where boomers, "childfree" redditors, disney adults, other sorts of foul beasts, cavort and stuff their putrid jowls

“To eliminate suffering entirely would mean, in the end, extinguishing love and desire as well. Those who love and desire cannot avoid passing through trial and suffering; and over the years, we carry within us lessons that leave their mark like scars, the memories of a journey shaped by freedom and failure, dreams and disappointments.

It is only thanks to the interplay of these elements that the wonders of the soul occur within us, allowing us to sense the richness of our humanity.

To renounce this adventure, both tragic and splendid, in the name of a presumed transcendence of all limits, could mean many things, but it would no longer be human.”

Pope Leo XIV, Magnifica Humanitas (par. 120) (May 15, 2026)

Everyone is always rooting for you. Your parents want you to be a great son. Wife wants you to be a great husband. Your boss wants you to be a slam dunk hire. Every first date you’ve ever been on they’ve been rooting for you to get laid. Every time you started to tell a joke people hoped it would have a hilarious punch line. Your proximity to anyone is a reflection of themself, meaning the deck is never stacked against you, and your failures are completely your own

@VRCT25 3/3 Get a proper read on the modern-day consequences of sinicization through a western conception of colonialism is as futile as trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

@VRCT25 2/3 Ideas surrounding colonialism. The truth of the matter is that the Chinese may be the single most effective colonizing force that the world has ever seen. Most of the land that makes up modern-day China was originally inhabited by non-Han peoples, and attempting to...

Sam Hyde's entire life has been him chasing the peak that was 2070 Paradigm Shift; everything else he's ever done has been significantly less funny.

Christopher Nolan is considered a great director today because cinema is terrible now.

Back when he first came out 20-25 years ago he was just another ok director. No one thought he was one of the best. He was just decent, among other decent and some much better directors.

There are two ways to rise in the world. Do good work. Or wait until things collapse and they will call you great.

At the end of the Roman Empire, the masses were frantically committing apostasy. What had once drawn petty fines escalated to capital punishment, as the state tried to stop a drift back toward Roman Hellenism.

Libations to Jupiter and the Dii Consentes returned. Mechanically. Performatively. As a reflex rather than a living faith. Anything to stave off decline, repel the barbarians, instil some residue of moral vigour.

This is what Oswald Spengler calls second religiousness. It’s an attempt at reversion. Religion reappears as form without spirit or conviction, a culture reaching backward because it runs out of forward momentum.

The way Clint speaks about Christianity lands in that same register. In fact all “based” Christianity does. The tradcaths, the orthodox people, the content creators. Something that has to be done for its own sake. It reads less like belief than like a plea. An attempt to find the light of Vesta long snuffed out.

I used to resent people who seem incapable of interacting with a piece of art within the parameters it defines for itself. As I age, however, I cannot help but feel a deep and genuine sorrow at seeing such behaviour. So much of the world's beauty is lost to them.

This French guy said he was invited to a gender reveal party in the US. He did not know what that was. He thought it was a confession of some kind. They cut a cake, and blue frosting came out, so everyone screamed. One woman cried. A man set off a small cannon in the backyard, and there was blue smoke. He said, "In France, you find out the gender at the doctor. You tell your mother. She says "ah bon." That is the party." It lasts four seconds. He stood in that backyard holding a plate of blue cake, covered in smoke, and realized he had never felt less French in his life.
