    Default Society and progress debate (do you want children derail)

    I can only weep for you. If I were you I'd have full confidence in my beauty, feminine wiles, and cooking ability that'd enable me to attract a "good" man that I'd already be actively searching on several fronts. I mean, I'd have plenty pining after me just by virtue of being a 7/10 so I gotta make em' wait a bit. PUA types can't wait more than a week for yet another pump and dump, yet the men who are truly looking for marriage material are willing stick out a filtering stage that lasts around 2 weeks at least.

    Point is, you should seek out a good man who will treasure you for the beautiful woman you are, mother his children, and appreciate how that while he isn't Chad Thundercock, he's a good, decent, respectable man who understands how important it is to raise a family and how his masculinity is actually enhanced by being a true family man. Science backs this up BTW, T-levels drop once a man gets his wive and drops yet again once he has a brood of kids he's relatively certain he fathered. The dropping T-levels aren't a bad thing, they're good... if you are a woman as that means he's less likely to beat you for no reason.

    It's the great irony, the more you fulfill your role as a "man" in most any sense your T-level drops. Get a hot woman as a loyal wifey? T-levels drop. Father a kid by her by 90 percent odds? Drops even more!!! WTF man!

    @End, it's not everyone's mission to get married and have kids. Shit doesn't always work out that way, even for those who try. Different strokes for different folks. I'm not into polygamy, but I don't judge people if that's what makes them happy. I certainly don't impose my monogamy on them or preach about relationship structures and gender roles. Knock it off, it's not how the modern world works anymore. People are sensitive and accepting and shit. Also, drop the biology talk. It's kind of creepy.

    This whole year made me into a hardcore reactionary, the 60's, hell, the whole fucking enlightenment and everything afterwards was a mistake. The old ways were right, we need to go back to them. If'n we don't, well, hope ya like Burkahs, female circumcisions, and the like because that's where we're currently heading. Forgive me for wanting my progeny to enjoy the fruits and joys of Western Civilization and the Christendom it represents.

    Also, @Aylen Phil has a good bit of wisdom on that makeup quote. Hate on him all ya want, hate Christianity all ya want, there's something there. The hating on Christianity and all its products is really a product of some deep seeded hatred of Western Civilization as a whole. I dare anyone to name a superior culture. I'm open people, what's a better world? A more equal world? Is there a culture more advanced than the west that treats minorities and women better? I've been looking around a whole lot and I'm just not seeing it. There may be cultures that are more in line with the crazed progressive utopia, but they are also still somewhere in the stone/bronze age as far as technological development is concerned (and if they are more advanced, it's because they're using Western Tech. They cannot reproduce what they are using themselves and thus are not as advanced as the progressives would like us all to think). The West is the best and I'm getting really sick and tired of people denying that obvious fact while working to destroy and replace it with absolute barbarism.

    You perceived hate where there was absolute 0. Do I think he has foolish, archaic beliefs, yes. Making fun of something and hating are not the same. I just noticed similarities (beliefs) between the two of you except he would probably find your low T idea disgraceful.


    “My typology is . . . not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical.”​ —C.G. Jung

    Sorry, I'm used to negative mentions of Christianity being attacks either overtly or covertly. Usually overtly, which gets my blood boiling. I suppose it's a side effect of how polarized our society has become. The scary thing is this level of polarization in the West has only been seen once in modern history... the 1930's. I hope this ends more happily than it did the last time it got this bad, though things are looking grim from my perspective. I fear George Carlin called it, there's only one way the problems of our modern society will be either solved or resolved, bloodshed. Lots and lots of bloodshed, blood in the streets, it may get so bad it'll be another Brother War. God help us all if that happens again.

    Also, I'm sure Phil still feels the same way he did in 2010, but realized that saying that stuff in public hurts the bottom line and draws in bad press. Me I don't care if people are gay. No point in fighting it, it is (fortunately according to some people) an issue that resolves itself as gays don't really reproduce. Well, lesbians can with a trip to the sperm bank, but it doesn't seem to be that popular among that group. I've seen a few lesbian couples in my neck of the woods yet I've never seen one pushing a stroller around if ya catch my meaning.

    Yeah, well, the old ways are old for a reason. They're not coming back. Society has progressed. The people have spoken, and they refuse to be pigeonholed. Let it go. You live your life however you see fit, stop telling other people how to live theirs.

    Oh but they are... if we don't start fighting against the enemies of Western Civilization. Also, one man's progress is another's regress. From my point of view, the world has regressed... greatly. Look at the current state of both gender and race relations in the west. If you think we made "progress" in those areas in the past 8 years you're a complete and utter moron. Things have regressed and regressed in a very harsh fashion. Everyone has been atomized and polarized whereas there was at one time we could all come together in some form. Yeah, you may have had to join a certain religion or something, but at least men, women, and individuals of all races could, conceivably, become one big and happy "us" as it were. Hate on religion all ya want, it's the only force that seems to be able to supersede Ethnicity, Gender, and Skin Color as a baseline motivator for people.

    Now... now that isn't the case. Now it's total polarization. You're either an SJW or a Nazi regardless of any other factor. Any, ANY, attempt to not be either one will result in one of those sides calling you a total cuck (I'm on the right, so if there's a left wing version of that insult I'd love to hear what it is out of morbid curiosity). The middle is now marginalized, you are either with "us" or you are one of "them" as it were. To call this progress is to be a fool. I remember when one could politely disagree with someone without implicitly wishing for their violent and painful death. Now... now we stand where we were right before WWII started. The storm gathers yet again despite all efforts to prevent that from ever happening again. Progress?! Don't make me laugh! When the only effective opinions involve either another Stalinist Purge or RWDS then the game is over. We're at that point, and I'm siding with RWDS out of concerns for survival. I'm... a little too pale and non-Semitic to stand a chance of surviving the second coming of the Gulag. Tis the only reason I'm on the side I am to be honest. I'd rather just be a neutral observer, but both sides consider that fucker a cuck who implicitly aids the enemy so into the Gulag/Oven he goes!

    I just can't seem to win, that's what sucks right now. No matter how hard I try to not play the game, everyone is forcing me to do so in one way or another. If only they'd leave me be in the shadows I'm content to dwell in...

    Fighting the "enemies" of so-called Western civilization is what got us here in this draconian nightmare in the first place.

    Religion is dying, especially in the USA. Teenage social media stars get more Instagram followers than the Pope. You see regression, I see evolution in action. That doesn't necessarily mean I'm excited for the outcome, because I don't pretend to know what that is or to know what is best for us. These are the things people are deciding right now. You don't need religion to overcome barriers. You can try just being a normal human being who isn't shitty.

    I wouldn't know. I'm not on the left.

    If you really believe yourself, you're an idiot. Otherwise, you're a very clever troll. Either way, your opinions stink of someone who spends too much time socializing with their parents and learned everything they know about the outside world from the Internet.

    Because you're not going to win. The old ways, whatever fucked up nostalgic pipedream you're living, are never coming back. Your kind had their time, and now they are finished. So long. Seeya. Sayonara. Don't let the door hit you in the ass, but feel free to make use of the #SafeSpace provided in the lobby on your way out, filled with therapy kittens to soothe any butthurt you might be feeling.

    P.S. What the fuck does any of this have to do with why some people don't want to be parents? It's a choice that free people have in the free world. Stop fucking with choices.

    It's funny how you cite the loss of the fruits of Western liberal democracy as grounds to return to ideologies antithetical to Western liberal democracy, in order to "defend" it. It's also funny how many people assume that strong nationalism and tightly enforced borders are mutually inclusive to reactionary social positions, many of which are directly opposed to democracy -- but I derail. You do not collaborate with fascists to defend democracy. That is fighting barbarism with barbarism.


    Once religion dies, you cannot resurrect it. You can replace it with philosophy, the logical successor to religion, but philosophy is far more compatible with advanced civilizations. Religion cannot compete with philosophy. The new far right does not embrace Western Judeo-Christianity. That's the realm of the dying right wing establishment, at least in the United States.

    If the fascists come to power, Christianity will be but another exhibit in the museum of extinct races. In its place will be a philosophy, one of extreme political, economic, and social utilitarianism. This philosophy will have risen because of the extreme efficiency it provides to a collapsing world where the old establishment can't do its job properly and all other philosophies have crashed and burned. This is also why the "Stalinists" you describe are not a real risk with the state of this world while the Fascists are, because people are losing faith in lofty political ideologies that cannot be pragmatically applied, including Communism (and especially not an iteration such as Stalinism, which, as many Westerners are aware, was a gross bastardization of the real tenets of Communism/Socialism, never mind the efficacy of the political philosophy if played straight).


    That's the scary part about fascism -- it requires bloodshed to work, but unlike many other political philosophies, it actually does work, with frightening efficiency. The fascist state, with its military and technological supremacy, is a lesser god on earth.

    The new right ought not embrace (((Judeo-Christianity))) as that's a social construct that benefits the former at the expense of the latter. Also, well, you can ultimately organize a sane society in one of two ways. You can organize it upon Ethnicity/Race, or you can organize it upon a shared Religion. Only Religion has been proven to reliably trump race/tribe as a successful way to organize humans (who are at base tribal). Even then, it needed an outside threat, another rival religion, to really get the various tribes to ignore their differences and join in common cause against a shared enemy.

    Only Christianity could have gotten German, Anglo-Saxon, Pole, etc. to join common cause and go on Crusade. Only Islam could have gotten Turk, Arab, etc, to join in upon a great Jihad. Even then, if one wasn't the rival of the other then things would have turned out very differently.

    We got two options, RaHoWa or Holy War. I WISH this was not the case but people like me who hover around 130 IQ comprise but a mere 5 percent of the total human population. The rest are moved to action by only 2 factors, race and religion. Higher concepts? Ideal Governmental arrangements? Fuck that! He/she doesn't look like us and has a weird accent to boot! OTHER!!! Off with their fucking heads! Mount em' on pikes and hang em' outside our gates so everyone else knows how fucking hardcore we are! NOBODY fucks with our tribe without dying a horrible death! Ia Ia C'thulu F'ghtan motherfuckers! KILL EVERYONE WHO ISN'T US WITH SADISTIC GLEE!!!

    To do anything less, you see, only shows how weak you are and how much you will gladly cuck as they invade your lands, rape your women, etc...

    Or you can organize it based upon a structure of laws, infrastructures, and (my personal favorite) territorial boundaries. That's what we have. Then you raise a national guard to enforce it. The problem is that "liberalism" doesn't really mean "liberalism" anymore. It's this faux-cognitive dissonance where people assume that just because we aesthetically call ourselves a "democracy," just because our governmental structure is technically a Federal Constitutional Republic, we automatically have to tolerate acts of overt aggression, both against individual citizens and against our egalitarian social structure. We vote on political representatives, so it's our humanitarian duty to funnel tax dollars into foreign aid and accept the importation of foreigners without culturally integrating them.

    Tell me, why couldn't one organize a society based on loyalty to the homeland? Why not nativity to the soil? Many of us have avoided these sentiments for years, because of a perceived implicit link to authoritarianism. But at the same time our culture's celebrated forms of territorial nationalism for years, much more bombastically, I might add, than the more so-called "traditional" cultures of, say, modern Europe. And ironically the only people who have enslaved us so far are globalists in form of the multinational corporations that effectively bypass our national laws, not nationalists from within with an authoritarian streak.

    Why not just break out the flags and tanks and sing "America! Fuck yeah!" like our ancestors did? Surely the average person has the capacity to understand that this nation was designed to run on concepts that benefit him and the homeland, and if only this fact and not the concepts themselves, he can be made to fight for it. I know I'm game. USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!

    Hah, fuck that noise. Chad Thundercock or bust.
    Projection is ordinary. Person A projects at person B, hoping tovalidate something about person A by the response of person B. However, person B, not wanting to be an obejct of someone elses ego and guarding against existential terror constructs a personality which protects his ego and maintain a certain sense of a robust and real self that is different and separate from person A. Sadly, this robust and real self, cut off by defenses of character from the rest of the world, is quite vulnerable and fragile given that it is imaginary and propped up through external feed back. Person B is dimly aware of this and defends against it all the more, even desperately projecting his anxieties back onto person A, with the hope of shoring up his ego with salubrious validation. All of this happens without A or B acknowledging it, of course. Because to face up to it consciously is shocking, in that this is all anybody is doing or can do and it seems absurd when you realize how pathetic it is.

    It's because I don't know how to react to it @Adam Strange. How... how do I respond to being either unironically liked by someone in a romantic/sexual sense and/or being involved in a complex joke/prank that makes me the punchline because I bought into it by believing the former was true somehow?

    I have been in a similar position before, romantically propositioned by a girl with an identical twin nonetheless. I thought it was a joke and reflexively rejected her but, in hindsight, perhaps I should have played along for a move or two instead. I was in middle school when it happened, I had no idea about a thing other than I thought the two of them were very pretty Asian girls . I was open to dating them insofar as my childlike innocent mind conceived of the idea, but I was also the victim of bullies and, well, I didn't wanna give em' more ammo/play into their hands so I reflexively rejected it. Being older and wiser, well, I kinda wonder what would have happened had I done something different....

    I dunno, @End. My first impulse is to say that sometimes the rewards are worth the risks. Certainly, I've ended up looking like an idiot from time to time, and it can be extremely embarrassing. Nevertheless, most people aren't out to screw you over, and you can tell pretty quickly if they are. Most people are just as worried about taking risks as you are (Se-doms excepted here), so if they send you a note, you should respond in kind.

    If this argument doesn't appeal, then you should know that the most successful strategy in game theory is called tit-for-tat. Assume good intentions, and respond with good intentions. If someone is mean, respond once with equal meanness, and if they are nice again, be nice again. Don't go nuclear or refuse to play.

    Admittedly, the page does say that the tit-for-tat strategy fails when the opponent responds randomly (is nuts). But I have never met one of those in my entire life. Everyone has a strategy.

    You... probably don't have kids (yet I hope you do somehow manage to have them, for I do pray for your genes to make it into the next round of natural selection). Science says that the very fact of being preggers alters a female's mental structure. Makes sense from the perspective of Darwin, yet it ain't like it'd turn a hardcore 3rd wave "kill all men" feminist into an MRA just because it happened. Biology does not yet trump propaganda, indoctrination, and the other dark forces that still hold sway over the grand majority of humanity.

    It hits men too BTW, getting a steady wifey impedes Testosterone production yeah but actually sticking around to raise a kid utterly nukes it. Once he's a "family" man his T-levels dive off a sheer cliff! You'd think that wouldn't happen but it does. A great irony it is, for it is in his deep act of trust in the woman that his very source of strength and power goes away. She is the mother of *my* kids, sorry balls, don't need ya to pump out the T-levels that led me to conclude that what is best in life included the screams and lamentations of some foreign tribes women and also contributed to my gains being so big that I cleaved that other fucker in half! Don't need it, me family man now, me no want violence anymore.

    I will say this many times over, the Eugenicists are dumb. Darwin was way more of a far-left Kumbaya type than well known popular history gives him credit for.

    Hey, I just mention the facts I stumble upon. Science has many things to say that are not politically correct. That most humans collectively cling to sunshine and rainbows delusions in the face of terrorist attacks and the like is actually a disturbing fact. I'm very worried for the future given that .

    Awesome... breeding, cooking and terrorism in the same basket, let's call it science.
