@ForceGhostFabio @edgaralandough A woman?

[CooperBaggs 💰🍞 @edgaralandough]

I’m 32. Give me oddly specific life tips. No general ”surround yourself with positive people” tips. I want the most random, specific advice possible.

@SamVale29 Hasn’t this been the case for a while?

[MagdalenfromSubstack @MagdalenSubstac]

@steppedenizen Love it! You live in NOLA? Do you like it there?

[MagdalenfromSubstack @MagdalenSubstac]

@steppedenizen @grok compare the numbers in this post to the L in Chicago

40,000 Americans died last year in car crashes.

NYC’s metro system accounts for over half of America’s miles travelled by transit.

196 people died on the subway. Mostly heart attacks/strokes. Only 5 homicides.

@Naveen_Lih Sounds like a plan

[MagdalenfromSubstack @MagdalenSubstac]

They told me X marks the spot, but I haven’t found treasure on here yet :(

[MagdalenfromSubstack @MagdalenSubstac]

@eightcoolguy Maybe not!

[MagdalenfromSubstack @MagdalenSubstac]

Not gonna lie, I used to be super impressed by men when they had a job and took showers, and yeah, I did say stuff like this out loud.

[Sam Press @samsampress123]

@allie__voss There's this weird belief people are single because they don't shower.
Why did you date that guy? he showers.

@hollowearthterf You’d be prettier than her if you were Chinese

[DHH @dhh]

Worse men than you have solved bigger problems than yours.

[MagdalenfromSubstack @MagdalenSubstac]

@GiulianoMana @grok is this true?

[MagdalenfromSubstack @MagdalenSubstac]

That is so deep wow.

Btw this isn’t really a criticism of wealthy parents as much as it is an observation about the nature of money. Money is inherently transactional. When it’s given freely, it’s as if the Money Gods find something for you to trade with

[vanoosa @vanoooosa]

one of the primary tasks of development is learning to distinguish between your longings for romantic love, the parents you never had, and God

[Shelby Ruth Ellis @shelbyruthellis]

Funny thing about coming from money that people who don’t come from money can’t seem to understand is that your family’s money is not your money, and relying on family money is not only a huge hit to the ego and can become a low self esteem trap but also comes with a series of unspoken contracts which aren’t meant to harm you but are meant to control you

The most fascinating aspect of this critique is that it now appears to run much deeper than being a critique of simple "leftism".

Much of the "right" is now crippled by this exact stuff. Blackpillers, certain white nationalists, Heimbach-type Eastern Orthodox converts, conspiracy types, and so on all exhibit this revulsion toward the West, toward optimism, toward civilization -- and insist on staking their wagon to some obscure fantasy, esoteric knowledge, or "underdog" institution, or hiding out in the woods waiting for the "SHTF" that never comes.

These fringe characters are generally skeptical of practically every facet of Western Christendom and the civilization it has produced -- from schools to cities to libraries, universities, Cathedrals, and so on. And on the topic of the future of our civilization, or of their individual advancement within it, they always have a dark message, a litany of curses and forecasts of doom and impossibility.

What follows is an apocalyptic, "retreatist" mentality and an obsessive interest in collapse and withdrawal. They essentially develop a fetish for powerlessness that is not especially different from that of leftists themselves.

Interestingly, the more vehemently "anti-leftist" a particular node of the culture -- the more absolutely crippled it now tends to be by these "feelings of inferiority" and an explicit rejection or hatred of all things "strong, good, and successful," with an overt hatred of Western Christendom featuring most prominently.
