you've probably never been truly lonely, naturally people die without a tribe, you can be very self sufficient and not require much socialization but isolation inherently eats away at you, being stuck in your head all the time fucks up your brain over time, i hate people but i go weeks without speaking a word to anyone and haven't had a conversation with a girl in years, it gnaws at you sometimes and turns you completely indifferent to the world and yourself, without an other you have no value beyond your current means of survival.

you can be an introvert who doesn't require much socialization and also feel lonely, to act otherwise is retarded, not sure what the point of your meaningless "not-real-manisms" is, you probably got lost on the way to facebook or something, nobody thinks you're tough for being a fat old fuck who hates his wife, it just makes you pathetic and retarded.

Watching "men" complain about something as basic as loneliness is pathetic. They usually unconsciously adopt the kind of retarded victimhood addiction that SJWs poisoned themselves with. I don't trust them for the same reason why feminists don't trust those Nice Guy types, assuming that's still even an issue.

i didnt call you not a man, all i did was point out the objective truth that you have chosen to not speak to anyone for weeks
it is something 100% under your control
if you wish it to change, it is entirely possible to change
as such, do not complaint about speaking to no one for weeks as if it is some involuntary thing - i am an empathetic person, but i am not an enabler of bad thinking

Peter Boyle's character was making some good points about how you become your job, it undermined my sympathy for Travis when he dismissed it out of hand. Although, I guess one of the points of the film is that Travis wasn't actually that smart, hence why he had no proper way of channeling all of his emotional turmoil.

Also, the idea of Travis bringing his date to a porno theater was pretty ridiculous. What was Schrader thinking with that?

Good thing I never said or implied that, and maybe if you didn't have the reading comprehension of some junkie dropout, you'd realize I was talking about your argument's arbitrary pivot towards bereavement, not the concept or phenomenon of bereavement itself.

low iq boomers with dangerously declining test levels all believe they would be one of those action movie guys who left civilization to live in a shed in the woods and be happy perpetually hunting bears barehanded, until a bad guy came along and then they'd be ready to be the big badass survivalist or something. in reality none of that exists, the few isolated ultra-ruralites are schizophrenic drunks/junkies or severely traumatized retards. if not people with big families who inherited their place in a tightly knit small community. its like the last boomer power fantasy where their mere existence is supposed to be masculine and tough with the most childish and naive view of physical reality.

Notice how there has never has been a female equivalent Taxi Driver.
The only one I can kinda consider is Carrie, but she actually gets revenge on her bullies and mother so she technically wins in the end.
Travis however kills some pimps and dies to a bullet wound with some whore by his side, who didn't actually love him anyway. It's supposed to be bitter-sweet but ultimately, it isn't.

Thereโ€™s a difference between socializing with others and becoming oversocialized cattle, meaning allowing society to shape and control your behavior, thoughts, and morality to the point where your individuality is erased and you become cattlebrained: an insentient blob of flesh whose sole purpose is to enforce regulatory behaviors established by the elites because they canโ€™t stand slaves unshackling themselves and doing something that may threaten their position.

Travis' central issue is that he's a degenerate hypocrite that does all the things he blames society for doing. He's a pill popping, porn addicted, violent psychopath. His loneliness is self imposed, his misery is self imposed.
In that sense he truly is written for chuds but instead of taking the right lesson from the film, they idolize these character flaws. Your way out this misery isn't by blaming the world on all your problems, you're not gonna get better by seething about trannies while secretly jerking off to them.

>He (Travis Bickle) says I have to live a pure life, and he's popping pills. My favorite line in the script is "A person should not live a life of morbid self attention." That's all he does is live a life of morbid self attention. He despises the gutter world of pornography, yet that's what he goes and sees. It's essentially a contradictory life that has to resolve itself, and in the uneducated world of this character it resolves it self in the very American way of taking a gun and attacking someone else." - Paul Schrader
