Increasingly convinced this place is designed to make you miserable and insane, and any utility it once had for influencing culture or getting ahead of the news cycle is being burned to fuel the misery-machine
@crypt0lake Didn’t china for example only really start developing after their TFR went below replacement? Low TFR seems more like a requirement for prosperity, not an obstacle. Only exception for this rule is maybe israel
130IQ+ Anglo thinks a rationally-ordered society is finally within his grasp - but his plans get ‘mogged’ by the Schopenhauerean ‘Will’; the irrational, impulsive, unpredictable and always hungering ‘vital’ or ‘life force’ that drives all life and is the true essence of the world
Leftism is a secular religion with a very strong concept of sin and penance but no concept of forgiveness, grace or redemption. They appeal to a nebulous morality grounded on absolutely nothing, allowing it to shift at any time and leave you damned.
The trade route that connected the Baltic with the Black Sea and the Aegean must have been a difficult undertaking that certainly took place through successive intermediaries, occasionally crossing rapid rivers, such as the Dnieper and land areas of dense forest and large plains.
remind yourself how many societies are set up as pension rackets and now realize it’s all to allow many people to stare into their phones uninterrupted for years
I am very surprised that European women don't want to marry/ have anything to with culturally distant, unintelligent, uneducated, illiterate, unattractive, poor men from countries who have no achievements, are profoundly uncivilised, clannish, violent and dysfunctional and whose main reputation consists of mass violence and rape of women, rape of underage boys (bacha bazi) Islamic terrorism, Islamic dictatorship, inbreeding and clannish tribal conflict.
Being a huge bitch used to be a fast way for women to signal they were high status
“Look how awful I can be. The fact people tolerate this implies I’m so desirable that they let me do it”
But being awful is a very easy status signal to fake, so many normal and low-status women started doing it to pretend they were hot too
Eventually, Team Bitch realized something:
“If we can get ALL women to do this, we won’t have to try or be pleasant ever again, because men won’t have an alternative”
So they started calling women who make effort to appeal to men “pick-mes” to whip them into shape and get them back on the Bitch Plantation
It’s Sisyphean, though. The more bitchy the average girl is, the more men value one whos pleasant
So the closer Team Bitch gets to success, the more any given woman stands to gain by defecting to Team Pickme
This is basically the same dynamic with male feminists, just in reverse
At the beginning of the Woke Era there was a ton of value in being one of the few men who defected to the women’s side because there were so few people who did this
But as time went on, more and more guys flipped to get girls, so the benefit got diluted
Eventually it provided no benefit at all, and guys just kept doing it because they thought they had to or they’d never get laid
This unlocked a male version of the “I’m hot enough to be a bitch” option:
“I’m rich and cool enough that I’m not scared to tell you about my horrifying politics”
You can learn a lot about people based on what part of the cycle they defect in
Early defectors are clever, but you probably shouldn’t trust them
Late defectors are much more trustworthy, but also retarded
Never-defectors are too high-status to believe in things like “tradeoffs” and they will continue doing whatever they want without ever considering any of this gay game theory
@stephenehorn@CoreyWriting Not true. The winters in scandinavia are pretty mild, not extreme by any means . The people best adapated to cold are probably found in siberia
