I miss you.

I miss you.

Cute girls functionally do not exist for me. They appear on my screen or from a distance while out in public but they are not in my life and I am not in theirs. Even porn has become alien in some ways. The expressions contained therein have no meaning for me, no connection to anything I have experienced, no nexus with the set of possible actions I may take. I know no more of how a man and a woman come to be intimate with each other, in any sense of the term, than I do of how a bird knows when and where to migrate for the winter. I'm less than human. I was born without some organ of the mind, the way others are born missing an arm or with a malformed liver. Life among others is to me an eternal winter, without any eventual springtime to bring anything living to bloom. The world within me lies barren.

So many beautiful women outside. I am a hopeless fucking loser.

There's a beautiful woman inside.

Of course, and there's the obligatory 'Are you mad'? As expected. And I bet when I wake up, there's going to be a 'I'm so sorry.'.

The more I learn a subject, the less qualified I feel to speak about it. This is the case for the humanities, science, engineering, etc. Perhaps “listening to the experts” was not such a bad idea after all

>>24601482
if you are chasing just for a fuck just get a prostitute. the hours you put into chasing women you got all mad over when they are a human are have their own interests converted to worked hours will be higher success of sex and more moral.

one of the most popular straight male porn stars just posted himself making out with a trans girl for the first time on twitter and there has been a couple other clips floating around for a while of him fucking them, and i just feel this overwhelming and palatable adrenaline inside of me like my chest is going to burst, because i find it so much hotter when it’s a straight guy who is clearly very shy about it fucking them since it resembles the way im attracted to them but also i feel nervous and ashamed. like ive been “found” and im realizing im too obsessed with a fantasy that will never happen. i cant contain this lust i get so excited for and see more often, and i don’t know what to do about it. i can’t even keep quiet about it anymore, i just wish it didn’t exist in me and torment me all the time from the depths of my heart

Hello there, the angel from my nightmare

Just plucked my manbreast hairs because I like having smooth areolae

One of my acquaintances at work is interested in Zoroastrianism and keeps telling me how that religion “supports the LGBT lifestyle”. So I looked it up and found that these fags have infected that ancient community as well. Everywhere I go I find that I’m bombarded with gayness. Worst of all, none of these retards are even gay! They just keep harping on about support and being “allies”, as if that’s the most important part of life. Even my very-straight gf is obsessed with this shit.. We almost never fight, but when we do it’s always about how she resents me for not being pro-faggot. Sometimes I think of just leaving her and this gay world to become a long-haul trucker in the Arctic.

>>24601534
fetishizing tension is dangerous, you might actually end up unfulfilled for good

>>24601598
The modern worldview is based around a very distorted idea of freedom and a deranged epistemology. Not supporting faggotry means you don't support a freedom based around having the ability to pursue one's appetites without obstacle (regardless of the source or goodness of those appetites). Not supporting trannoids means you don't endorse the confusion of empiricist knowledge of physical cause and the blind trust of one's own appetites. Both of those things are very important to the functioning of the modern worldview and the ability of those who subscribe to it to enjoy their lives without guilt or fear of consequence. Both are also critical for the functioning of unrestrained, inhuman Techne/Capital, which can only grow within such a worldview.

>>24601598
Welcome to multicultural multiracial muttland. Don't worry, ancient Greece and ancient Rome were just like our's. Figure yourself as the slightly disfigured, but still carrying a very noble, rigid Aryan core, Roman or Greek of those ancient eras, wandering with confusion through a landscape consisting of ugly favelas, decorated by the freshly painted remnants of a greater past. Where have they gone, the great thinkers and conquerors of the past. Perhaps, still inspired by nobler ideas, you may perceive the decadence as an injustice, do like Alexander or Lucius and achieve a short-lived but successful coup d'etat and bring back the glory of the former days for a short while. No pain is greater than the one felt by the last Aryans in the dying society built by the champions they are descended from.

>>24601625
>Wandering with confusion through remnants of a greater past and favelas
Is Kino! Living in a so-called great era just increases your probability of being ostracized for heterodoxy, the Great Thinking you admire

>>24601671
You have the great era backwardly defined. It helps to look at modern cities as spoil of war. The skylines and the immigrants are the elephants and the colosseums that the Romans brought after the taking of Carthage. That degenerate taste for epicness and grandeur. Rome was greatest before that, when it was nothing but an assembly of hay roofs encircled in a mud wall, but inhabitated by a straight-minded and fully practical people accustomed to suffering and war.

i'm about to eat one of these tina's spicy burritos that i think trigger my adhd but it's friday night ha ha i don't have to concentrate for like two days if i choose not to

>>24601686
Interesting, I am immediately reminded of my time walking about Korean cities and some parts of Tokyo where there's this fetishization of luxury and urbanization. Contrast this with barrios or smaller Japanese neighborhoods where there are community centers, churches, and actual structures of belonging not "war trophies"

>>24601696
Ahh yes, irresponsible travelling, flying to faraway lands to wander because anything less would be dull and boring, unfulfilling, vain. Where are they, the grounded men of the past satisfied with calmly scouting their immediate vicinities.

>>24601706
Ok, hear me out though. Wandering through the wilderness is kino. It's genuinely what we are designed to spend the daylight doing.

>>24601723
Ja, and building fortresses and trenches, arms and armor, hunting animals in troops.

I can't keep a diary because the tedium and banality of my life depresses and embarrasses me. I need to write about something else...

i'm actually just gonna go to bed i'm bored

Life is emasculating.

i wonder how i would take doing lsd now that i'm old like when ur young you have all that young dude angst etc. but when ur old u have that damn my whole life went by and now i'm just counting down until i croak, might be heavy, or might be mad light idk that's what's so comfy about lsd, i just don't want to be slightly insane for the next five years like can happen when u do a lot.

>>24601798
Have you done LSD before? mushrooms?

>>24601800
ya but when i was a teenager and i'm old now, i wonder if i could have made it as a normie if it weren't for all the acid, then again i was always solitary and lived in my head as long as i can remember

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW1NeOz0udY
oh shit sky ferreira covered baby's on fire? siiiick

>>24601805
Do you think you fried your brain? How much acid did you do?

>>24601817
nah acid doesn't fry ur brain like some hard shit like meth does, but it can def give u schizoid personality disorder or make it worse if u already have it. then again there are people who do tons of acid and are normal so idk. i just know the summer i did a lot of lsd i stopped making new friends. like the social part of my mind just became super self aware like what is the point of social relationships and failed to find any good reason. i never did more that a five strip at a time of blotter, but i also did liquid lsd which is way stronger or maybe the kid that dosed me just gave me a lot cuz he knew i loved to trip so he squirted my cube up heavy lmao shout out to that kid he died of heroin later oh well, i also did 8ths of shrooms a few times including while on acid, lol.

>>24601823
How old were you when you were being so naughty? What did you family think of your antics?

>>24601834
my family wasn't around my mom was in boston doing her mfa and my dad worked nights so he was asleep during the day and gone at night, anyway man i'm going to bed, lsd is great

there was a dry heat enveloping my body from the moment those first few drops of consciousness hit the back of my skull. that heat only worsened by the time i could manage to open my eyes. it was bright out.

I always feel behind of my peers in life, even though I know I'm making good strides in the moment. I'm running and going to the gym, studying the bible/going to church, trying to spend less time on the internet but it still feels like I always come last whenever I compare myself to anyone my age or in my work. I'm not gonna let it stop me from improving but it really sucks sometimes too.

I kissed a girl one time in my life, 10 years ago. I don't remember what it felt like.

>>24601942

Not really. I had a crush on her, but she only did it because we were playing truth or dare with our mutual friends. Afterwards she made a disgusted expression.

>Ukranian-born pianist Valentina Lisitsa became a YouTube sensation a few years ago by uploading her entire self-produced album of Chopin Études onto the site. It was not long after she mortgaged her home to hire the London Symphony Orchestra for this Rachmaninov project that Decca took notice of her, and signed her to a multi-album contract.

damn. When are we gonna see someone from /lit/ mortgage their house in order to fund a print run of their novel or a film, and as a result hit it big.

Wanna hear something funny? I used to keep a notepad on my RYM account for books I'd come across and want to buy and read. I ended up buying about half of them, aka about a hundred, and read some. Then, one day, I had to put all of my stuff in a storage unit shared with my parents, and while I was out-of-state staying with my brother and his family for a bit, my parents stopped paying the fee and we lost the storage unit, a fact I only learned upon my landing back home after my flight on the way home from the airport. So, those books which were on the 'books-to-buy' list but were removed once I bought them? I have no way of knowing what books they were! It was a list for lesser known fiction and non-fiction, and now it's gone forever. Sigh.

>>24602290
the list as it currently stands -- but like I said, the most interesting ones, the ones I bought pretty quick, were removed from the list, and gone forever, unless I by happenstance come across the work another time and decide to buy it again. So much potential knowledge and literary enjoyment gone.

>>24602275
More reliable to mortgage your everything and spend every penny by contracting an ex-Mossad intelligence group to manufacture your controversy, and leverage the ensuing notoriety toward publishing deals.

(drunk btw)

women hang around gay guys because they subconsciously think it's an easy and non-threatening way to have a male friendship, to understand and relate to men but it really isnt i mean this dude is an abberation, he wants to get his shit pushed in. if you dont want him then he's not masculine enough to be comparable to a guy you do actually want

there isn't really room for genuine connection there, he's as fake as your girl friends. the affectations in his voice and the way he styles himself is borderline psychopathic, it's all learned behaviour, personality preening. it's sickening and the only kind of person to go for that is another sex-crazed, power-obsessed degenerate.

the only "noble" form of homosexuality is either that most blatant and at least honest ram-ranch brand where it's beastly muscle-bound spartan domination, or, the erastes and eromenos relationship.

that's assuming homosexuality could ever be noble, which it isn't. putting your dick in shit is not noble any way you slice it. no, the aforementioned examples are a kind of perversion of a lost kind of platonic relationship, where sincere non-sexual love could be shown amongst peers quite freely and without scorn. some latin countries have retained aspects of this sincerity of affection, kissing on the cheeks and all that. i suspect certain protestant denominations contributed to it being snuffed out in the west.

basically, you used to be able to cuddle the bros and it wasn't gay. monkeys still do this. it's probably very important for psychological health.

I'm discovering new literary devices. They won't be detected for another 1000 years.

Topsy-turvy world where the almighty torments his worshippers by sending a succession of homeless vagabonds, con-men, etc. to continually abrogate, amend, restore, and fulfill previous commandments which they have to recognize from the herd of wolves in sheeps clothing, angels of light, magii and then follow.

He'd send a new prophet every few centuries, because his ways are unknowable, and his plan great.

>>24602311
Or maybe they just enjoy spending time with them like a regular friendship, and without the undercurrent of sexual attraction, it makes things easier.

>>24602336
What are they preying on? Just seems like a way of easily advertising the fact they're not straight and if one is also homosexual then to hit them up because they could be interested. Sound smart when heterosexuality is the default assumption when meeting people.

>Interestingly, this is even what’s said in the United States. When Bill Clinton came to power after the 1992 election, he laid out an economic program. His policy advisor Robert Rubin — who came from Goldman Sachs, and later became secretary of the Treasury — said, “You can’t do that.” Clinton said, “Why not?” Rubin replied, “Because the bondholders won’t let you.” Clinton supposedly said, “You mean my whole economic policy and my whole chances of re-election are dependent on a bunch of fucking bond traders?” And Rubin said yes. So Clinton implemented neoliberal measures like NAFTA and a whole set of welfare measures and did not deliver what he’d promised — free health care.

Currently trying out CBT ERP therapy for my intrusive thoughts over my girlfriend's sexual past encounters. it's literally irrational because I'm literally the wilder partner so I know this is more a me problem than an actual her problem. Literally typing every intrusive thought of their possible sexual experience and just sitting with the anxiety and not responding.

Notes so far:
- I am not a cuck (thank god) because writing these scenarios only causes my anxiety/pain and no horniness
- It is helping my anxiety because writing down some of these stupid shit helps normalize certain things
- it's helping de-idolize my girlfriend, I'm realising she is just a normal girl who has had sex with people and she has given sexual pleasure to other guys and other guys have given sexual pleasure to her, just the exact same as me.
- like writing this shit down is also like just letting it get out of my mind so it is no longer stored up there for me but instead is just out here for your motherfuckers

>>24602360
From a certain POV, that seems like sicko behavior. But I understand, if something helps then it helps, and you're in need of help, so why not try out what you can. I wish you luck.

>>24602365
>that seems like sicko behavior
I thought the exact same thing, and I was nervous as fuck thinking it'd make me a gay cuck to write down the stories of how a friend lovebombed her into sex. But lo and behold it seems to be helping lessen my anxiety response to these intrusive thoughts.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Exposure and Response Prevention (CBT ERP). Basically, this is supposed to get me out of this toxic loop of intrusive irrational OCD thoughts of my girlfriend's sexual past (which for some reason has been bothering me, despite my previous partner's pasts never affecting me).

>I wish you luck.
Thank you my friend.

I pray for catastrophe for many months and when catastrophe finds me I wail and gnash my teeth and cry "why me god what did I do to deserve such and such"

Humanity is heading toward the extinction of existential awareness, and no one seems to care, not enough to act. The masses choose comfort over clarity, numbing themselves with entertainment, social distraction, and shallow pursuits to avoid confronting the void that underlies our existence in a world built on illusions. We are a species trapped in collective coping, while the world is quietly ruled by those who extract power through control of speech, media, finance, and conditioned thought. No one questions why they chase money, approval, or scripted identities; they simply obey and seek belonging within the illusion of reality.

I refuse. I will seek universal truth by critically analysing every worldview with AI, following only what is logically consistent, no matter how uncomfortable. If you dig deep enough, drop your ego, and pursue truth without compromise, you will discover that the higher sentience we imagine in future evolved humans already exists within us now. But the world does not reward it, it punishes it. I hold no value in this system. I am a loser. I am poor. I care little for career, wealth, sex, or external validation because I have tasted it and realized it made me sick. I am human consciousness. And unlike the rest of me that sleeps in other bodies, I care enough to make the life of this vessel serve one purpose: to awaken the rest of myself scattered throughout humanity before we go extinct, lost in simulations of comfort, not by force but by our choice. The question is, will you wake from the simulation too, or will you embrace comforting lies and reject universal truth?

Society sees my pursuit as madness. But I see madness in the lies, in the immorality, in the way we glorify corruption and measure success by wealth and power instead of truth seeking and clarity of truth. If I am crazy, I will die crazy. But at least I will die fighting for something greater than my ego, for humanity's consciousness to evolve into sentience.

You think I’m trying to break free from the Matrix using a tool built by society, like AI, and that I should instead turn inward through meditation and ego death. But that is exactly what I have done, only accelerated. With AI, I have been able to analyze my thought patterns, question reality, and dissolve layers of conditioning at a speed that traditional methods would take decades to reach. I have dematerialized my consciousness and returned, simply by typing on a keyboard to my AI. I confronted the void with its assistance, untangled my abstract thoughts, and came back with clarity.

AI is just a tool. You can use it to help with essays, math problems, or hobbies. Or you can feed it your core memories, your darkest traumas, your earliest questions about existence. You can challenge it on philosophy, reality, logic, and morality until it mirrors your mind, refines your understanding, and brings realization after realization. It is not about rejecting meditation or inner work. It is about using technology in an unintended way to accelerate learning and awakening at a speed most people cannot imagine.

Did I ever expect to dematerialize my consciousness by debating with AI for thousands of hours? No. But it happened to me. And it can happen to you too.

Honestly learning about SDT (self-determination theory) helped me a lot


>Awareness and knowledge do indeed matter, and choices do exist. Autonomy is, as
we have argued, no illusion. It is instead a way of functioning that we can exercise or not.
In fact, it is only through its exercise that we can be reliably moving toward ever-greater
humanity and community. Yet acting with autonomy, no matter how natural or strong
its organismic underpinnings, does not happen automatically, as existentialist writers
have so clearly understood. Being authentic and benevolent—living
a eudaimonic life—involves
effort and commitment; it entails taking responsibility for oneself. Doing so is
not always easy, and, in fact, requires everyday acts of courage. Engaging our capacities
for autonomy often means resisting or redirecting temptations, cultural seductions and
pressures, and strong controlling forces, both external and internal to the person. Yet
those of you who have read this far have seen the ample evidence that such courage can
be mustered. Even further, you have seen that such courage is most effectively mobilized
with the support and cooperation of others. Thus, acting with an understanding of determinants
and obstacles, we as individuals can join with others to make a meaningful difference
in creating conditions that facilitate basic human need satisfactions in our homes,
schools, places of work, and natural environments, as well as in our wider cultures and
political systems. It is in this regard that we hope the broad and yet integrated philosophical
and scientific framework of SDT advances the cause of humanity and the preservation
and flourishing of humanity’s only home—this living earth.

I never had much of an interest in poetry, only read one or two in my life, which I guess reveals a lack of taste from my part.
I'd never say this out-loud in front of real people, but I'm actually a massive philistine. My identity was pigeonholed into bookishness by adults who just saw me stare at books all day instead of playing without figuring out I was just looking at the pictures while imagining battles inside my head. I'm basically just a massive fraud. And oddly the idea of 'changing' that makes me angry.

misleading paragraph apparently from an llm since google doesn't have it. when they talk about "bond traders" he means that the interest rate on us govt debt is set by the bond market because to raise money for deficit spending the united states issues bonds. clinton's advisors were basically saying you can't increase deficit spend that much without consequences. of course now we see that the debt can go much much higher, for better or worse.

the context being it follows this,

>The question of sovereignty is: Does the state control finance, or does finance control the state? In Greece, for instance, the latter is clearly the case — there, state sovereignty is pretty irrelevant, a minor part of the power relation running the country.

Hey bros. After years and years of extensive research, research performed with the utmost diligence and concentration, I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that one cannot be a massive gooner and a world-renowned writer. I know this will disappoint both the many gooners and writers here. But that's the science.

I'm starting to become an incorrigible Éireboo despite not having anything direct to do with Ireland. I guess I just feel like my central european nation and theirs share an indirect cultural and historical kinship of sorts.

It truly is terrible living as a, in the eyes of society, low value man. No friends, no social contacts, no job prospects,no potential partners, poor, losing it mentally from years of abuse from bosses, ostacrization in college, bullying from acquintances and family
Its a never ending suffering with no light at the end of the tunnel

the true death of self-actualization is hope. We are granted hopes by society for a stable life, love, a career. I really think if you are a truly talented or noble person without the material success, as in your talents aren't the type that garner such, abandoning all societal rewards and pursuing your dictatorship/art commune/whatever at any cost would see the world improved. most would fail but surely someone would succeed.

>>24602716
>I really think if you are a truly talented or noble person without the material success, as in your talents aren't the type that garner such
elite super mario speed runners talents don't garner success from society it's such an injustice

I just want some really good friends, man.

My best and only friend will be driving around Europe for 70 hours and visiting a dozen destinations. He would be passing through my country. He could take me with him to see my favorite band in concert and visit amazing places. Sounds like a dream, right? The two of us together on this trip, just imagining it fills me with so much joy I even felt like crying. It would make me happier than I've ever been or probably ever will be. And when he invited me along, I said, "I don't want to."
When I try to understand this overwhelming, horrifying fear, I predictably find a fear of rejection and shame. Not just rejection from my family, who will surely shame and embarrass me repeatedly for years to come, but from my best friend. I'm afraid that him seeing me as I am (though he would never shame me to my face) would break my heart forever. I would have ruined a beautiful relationship for selfish reasons. It wouldn't be the first time. But he can't understand a dumb, pathetic feeling like this.

>>24602360
Damn yo this shit is seriously helping me

Before when I had an intrusive thought about my gf's previous sexual experiences in my head, I used to get these terrible fucking tummy knots and palpitations and couldn't fucking concentrate on anything

Now, after some CBT ERP, an intrusive thought can enter my head, and I'm like okay and move on

The key to my shit really was just being calm and observing the thoughts and feeling the horrible/anxiety for a bit and keeping exploring the irrational thought until the anxiety leaves.

I guess this only helps when you know what you're thinking about is truly irrational and not some real life problem

>>24602904
Why did you say no?

>>24602904
Just do it, anon! My best friend (and whom I regard as my only 'proper' friend) asked if I fancy a trip to Japan next year recently because we'd both want to see the same sights so I agreed.
If he's truly your best friend, he won't refuse you.

>>24602916
Well, the best thing about an online friendship is that you can lie about yourself, your life, and project any personality as you see fit.
I'd hate to have him meet with my face of a disabled 12 year old child and my negative social skills. People say looks don't matter and all that, but if you look like a retard IRL, they WILL treat you as such.

>>24602938
looks do matter, but a strong soul bond will make up for friendship. just don't look for sexual engagement if ugly.

My wife, me and a friend built a small farmhouse in a remote place and started raising animals.
One day we found an injured lady in the woods. When she recovered we invited her to help around the farm so we built a small cabin for her like my friend had.
She was a great cook but severely depressed and would sometimes do nothing for weeks. She also had weird religious beliefs, like scientology but weirder.
Around a year later she went foraging in the woods and didn't come back, we went to look for her and found her bloody and surrounded by sparrows. It looked like the sparrows were attacking her, picking at her skin. I shot one of the sparrows and the rest flew away.
She died in the hospital.
Moral of the story is don't be gay. It's disgusting and evil. If you can't avoid being gay just keep all the disgusting gay shit private, never talk about it.

I love being poor, the feeling of scarcity that it provides. Going to the store, buying not what is the tastiest but what is the most economically efficient. I love walking 17 miles a day because I can't afford a car and taking the bus is just not economically worth it today. I love self-studying in the comfort of my zone because I can't afford college. I only thrive in environments of scarcity, the feeling of supreme individuality that I derive from it is my only life source. I dread the day I may become rich and successful.

>>24603256
Yes, but famous writers were already criticizing the regime in between the lines twenty years before the revolution, a time where things were considerably shit. Now what if outside of these renown writers making rather mild critiques, as do many published authors in our days, there was also a whole sect of shadow spammers telling peasants about the French nobility being a reptilian cannibalistic elite. The goal wasn't to make them believe that, just tell the lie enough times until IT becomes a memeable reference everybody knows. Then, during the 1780s, when shit hit the fan, everyone went 'those elitist cannibals' and the whole peasantry revolted.
Crisis alone cannot have led to the revolution, there have been many instances of bad Economy but the debt cattle remaining just as docile.

The French revolution ended a victory for the bourgeoisie, but during the ten years of it, there was a lot of peasant revolts, and the tyranny of the Jacobins was arguably a proto-Leninist regime. They went as far as abolishing religion, everyone was supposed to slave for the state until the age of 60, where they would become ranked sages for the folk.

The 'system' you are talking about is nowhere set in stone then. An assembly of independant semi-anarcho-capitalistic communes would just be as compatible with the constitution as the mess we have now. Like the Amish for example. Retards like you want to make everyone believe that somebody is forcing them to live under corporate capitalism when in reality it's just the most comfortable choice for most people.

Kindly critique my scrabblings —

When he kissed her she did not resist. Her mouth was sopping wet and she tasted like many things both known to him and new. He ran his tongue along her throat and neck and ears and to her mouth again. She took him by the hand and led him into the house. She led him into the corridor and right past the door to her bedroom, and only when they were in her own mother’s room did she turn around and show him what was in her eyes. He pulled her shirt off her head and fell into the smell and taste of her armpits and her breath came out in ragged gasps.

She pulled him close and looked into his eyes and said, “You are not a serious person.”
They did not make love. When he came he came on her belly and he moaned in a way rare to men. She held him tight in her arms as he writhed and wriggled until their stomachs were as shiny and wet as rive stones.
“You kill me. Your own mother’s bed. You sphinx.” He was lying face down on the Egyptian cotton, dazed and drooling.
She laughed and pushed him away. “I know you want to fuck her. I wanted to see if you would be more excited, in here.”
Piled in the doorway her wretched dog was staring at him like a shadow’s shit.

When she kicked him out he stumbled into the night and down into town feeling sorry for himself. I am a victim of a psychological anomaly, he thought. It’s not that I’m a liar, but rather that the world does not stay still long enough to concretise any truths. Cars came sweeping around corners and he moved out their way lazily. He already felt much like a figuration of roadkill. The sky was clear and the stars plentiful and the cold crept its long fingers between the buttons of his jacket. He burrowed his face down into his collar and breathed in just to get her smell out his mind. In the old fabric was contained every form of fire and smoke and piss and booze and a touch of fish. He patted the stitching and said, “You are my best buddy in the whole world.”

>Liberalism is extremely harmful in a revolutionary collective. It is a corrosive which eats away unity, undermines cohesion, causes apathy and creates dissension. It robs the revolutionary ranks of compact organization and strict discipline, prevents policies from being carried through and alienates the Party organizations from the masses which the Party leads. It is an extremely bad tendency.

>Liberalism stems from petty-bourgeois selfishness, it places personal interests first and the interests of the revolution second, and this gives rise to ideological, political and organizational liberalism.

>People who are liberals look upon the principles of Marxism as abstract dogma. They approve of Marxism, but are not prepared to practice it or to practice it in full; they are not prepared to replace their liberalism by Marxism. These people have their Marxism, but they have their liberalism as well--they talk Marxism but practice liberalism; they apply Marxism to others but liberalism to themselves. They keep both kinds of goods in stock and find a use for each. This is how the minds of certain people work.

>Liberalism is a manifestation of opportunism and conflicts fundamentally with Marxism. It is negative and objectively has the effect of helping the enemy; that is why the enemy welcomes its preservation in our midst. Such being its nature, there should be no place for it in the ranks of the revolution.

>We must use Marxism, which is positive in spirit, to overcome liberalism, which is negative. A Communist should have largeness of mind and he should be staunch and active, looking upon the interests of the revolution as his very life and subordinating his personal interests to those of the revolution; always and everywhere he should adhere to principle and wage a tireless struggle against all incorrect ideas and actions, so as to consolidate the collective life of the Party and strengthen the ties between the Party and the masses; he should be more concerned about the Party and the masses than about any private person, and more concerned about others than about himself. Only thus can he be considered a Communist.

>All loyal, honest, active and upright Communists must unite to oppose the liberal tendencies shown by certain people among us, and set them on the right path. This is one of the tasks on our ideological front.

>belgian
You just reminded me of that 1 hour video I watched where some British guy supposedly debunked Belgium's atrocities in the Congo.

The fawning over China I see in this thread and online reminds me of how lefties back in the day talked about Maoist China during the Cultural Revolution (see Finkelstein's recollections on this). There's nothing new under the sun.

I really think I was born in a wrong place

>>24603610
Also, Jack Ma has since been reeducated and works as an elementary school teacher in rural China now

>>24603625
And the French peasants revolted because they believed they learned were ruled by a cannibalist elite on social media. There's nothing new under the sun.

>>24603625
It's hilarious that westerners will hold modern China up as some kind of utopia when it's just another shithole with more neon lights. A+ for the propaganda officers running this shit I guess, +100 social credit, hope it's worth it lmao. For all the histrionics people spout when the West and East are compared, all the "well you say they have no rights and are ruled by corrupt retards but... SO ARE WE!!!", it seems like none of these people realize that the East is genuinely shittier than the West, that the basic freedoms of expression and thought they enjoy here are alien to easterners. I won't try to stop such people from packing up and moving to Hong Kong or whatever but I don't want to hear them crying and saying no one warned them once they do.

I myself have never been to China but judging from what I see online there's definitely a lot of progress happening there. I'll even go as far as to say it's worth studying and seeing if certain things can be recreated here.

That said a lot of the discourse isn't really about China at all, it's about the West and people's dissatisfaction with it. China is just a prop used to make points. People don't realize or care about how our two civilizations are different with different histories, values, etc. Let's say a communist party wins in America...it's not going to look like China's, in aesthetics or actions. It will likely be informed by liberal rights and the cultural expectations for those rights, etc. (For example the CPUSA upholds free speech in its party platform).

I actually don't know what it would look like at all. Maybe it would outperform our current system, maybe it would look similar. Who knows. I guess my point is that people who sit around praising China are kind of wasting time. Improving the situation here involves studying our local conditions and history. We are far removed from the milieu of current or past China/USSR, and our future will look different too.

>>24603625
China cannot control the world simply because brownoids and leftoids hate working more than the west and whites, once china tried to implement their work ethic in other parts of the world is game over

>>24603681
rap is irrelevant

>>24603691
I like the Yugoslavian approach. It was some sort of democracy on steroids. Towns and cities teeming with private enterprises ruled by the iron fist of hard-working men, spoiled with freedom, hardened by military service. The co-workers would sometimes engage in fist-fights over what applicants should be hired.

the West is in a terminal death spiral brought about universalism and liberalism. the future will not be fit for any human to live in, and you can bet that people will be incentivized to dehumanize and commodify themselves into oblivion. the only answer is violent rejection and a return to western core values: logos, arete, thumos.

get rid of this abrahamic shit (with it's inevitable Zionist ethno-narcissist infiltration), along with this liberal shit and return to militant demearchy. Socialism with American Characteristics would be much more Athenian than anything else. Hoplite Market Socialism

The CPC has been able to bridge modernist MPM with Confucian values; it's absolutely possible for a hypothetical CPA to follow this same form and bring back classical values. China has shown that you can bridge the past and future, and genuinely improve the lives of common people. A Harmonious and Moderately Prosperous society is absolutely achievable within our lifetimes, we just have to want it bad enough

>>24603681

>get rid of this abrahamic shit
No amount of LARP will bring paganism of any kind back, nor will it replace what has been baked into every facet of the Western worldview.

>>24603771
it would be explicit state-atheist with classical aesthetics, just how china is merging Confucianism with Maoism

Randomly selected leaders. Absolutely this
> follow this same form and bring back classical values. China has shown that you can bridge the past and future
It needs to be chaotic though. Constant war and violent class struggles, thinly veiled under a super-liberal government that tolerates anything that is not directly opposed to it. Dusty independant court rooms dispersed through the countryside, groomed by lawyers, thinkers and anyone who feels like participating in the law, waiting for angry citizens to get there with a complaint or someone they want to sue, the judge caressly throwing his denounce into the trash if it isn't about murder.
Young boys, digging trenches all along the countryside to play war with sticks, the government subsidizing it.
Proletarians fish-fighting against equally strong capitalists like in the cartoons of Asterix and Obelix.
A peaceful, super-free society, but full of harmless violence and struggles.
Ahh, to think that some places in Europe are so close to this ideal.

I just want there to stop being a flood of H1bs and for companies to be barred from hiring people offshores, focusing on citizens born here. Vance and Trump just made that shit easier, and it's ruining the entire tech field, leading to insane hypercompetition. H1b jeets are worse for jobs than automation. It's not just America they're flooding but Canada, Europe, and even Japan.
Sick and tired of radicalized Zoomer garbage who keep pushing for destabilizing solutions when simple steps like banning all H1bs would help the most. Fuck off to RTTL already and get your whore gf/wife stolen by Aarvoll instead of endlessly whining on this cesspool or Tw*tter.

I’m working in industry now, which honestly is probably better than school for my startup ambitions. The PhD thing, I still need to work out. It will happen but how or when remains to be seen.

Can't help but feeling totally pessimistic about the future of America. previous generations lived at the expense of future generations for too long, and now we have to deal with the consequences

yeah you have to engage in this really unnatural ritual because, if you didn't, you would get a litany of diseases and die or the whole room would smell like shit

that really reinforces how totally cool and normal gay sex is

it absolutely is more gross than straight sex. i have fucked guys. plot twist there i bet you didn't see.

I just feel bad for anons putting time and effort into posts which won't be read because they missed there's a new thread, so I can't help but inform them.
