Fascism is as tempting as it is futile.

Laziness doesn't exist.

That's just what emotional conflict feels like.

@von_dienstmann @uhave2callit I'm mostly concerned with how people talk to their neighbors but it sounds like you have another plan in mind. I'd be interested to hear more about it if you're willing

There needs to be a sustained right-wing resurgence in the West. But it's becoming obvious they're intellectually incapable of sustaining anything. Too many blind spots, and arguments that only work because the Left is old and flabby.

These epistemological errors may be fine for now, but they won't sustain 50 years, if that. They generate too much compensatory fuel, the same way the Left's holes generated the compensatory fuel the Right is guzzling up now.

This is a good instance of our cultural divide: the right wing guy lacks a solid intellectual basis and the left wing guy thinks his emotional overreaction is the basis of morality.

Every bad decision you will ever make comes from trying to hide.

You can either solve your problem or become so clear on what it is that it loses its power over you.

[Mark Derian @joinanimus]

@uhave2callit Yeah I think it was less "allowed" and more "didn't know what they were up against" and still kinda don't.

Great poster; he does his own thinking and articulates it well. Highly recommend you give him a follow.

Shitlibs will discover people have different opinions than they do and have full-on public meltdowns.

Political difference--- to them--- is pathology.

This is why the Soviet Union imprisoned political dissidents in psychiatric wards. In the Leftist view, you cannot disagree with Marxist nonsense unless you are crazy.

I saw Biden in the news feed and immediately thought "dead."

Congratulations to Hunter though.

@IgoALLOUT1 either way, as long as I get to be arrogant

The reason I was expelled from my profession is the exact reason why they need me, and it's my job to show that.

Your neurosis is a solution to a problem you're unwilling to acknowledge.

My favorite Apocalypto fact:

Gibson's co-writer got the idea while sitting on a beach in Cancun, wondering what kind of Mayan could survive the Conquistadors.

I think job should be capitalized. It indicates its sacredness and also reads as Job. Makes you think.

[Mark Derian @joinanimus]

True, some people are better than others, and there are many legitimate metrics by which that can be true. The point is that the state is really bad at deciding and enforcing such hierarchies. Not because the differences don't matter, but because they matter too much.

The state's incentive is power, which is necessary to create a framework of law and order through which talent can rise within legitimate hierarchies, but any attempt to enforce that directly invariably leads to second and third order compensatory consequences. Like trying to convince a woman to like you. We're watching that play out now in the destructive wake of affirmative action, for instance.

You don't become better at writing; your standards just become higher.
