I despise those who think they ought to lead and pity the fools who believe they need the same recycled actors to follow. We are all of us susceptible to using empathy to measure one another's worth. Nevermind politics or religion, etiquette or manner, cause or concern: the capacity for hatred abundant to every human eclipses all good when measured by cold reason, to both our shame and lasting benefit. One hundred billion humans are estimated to have walked, breathed and perished on our blue marble, and the vast majority have, if history teaches us anything, died in impoverished circumstance after a meager existence, or at best, bearing the flag of one tyrant to fight another. The course of social conduct, since its inception during the rise of agriculture, has been prinicipally employed to use the very many to benefit the very, very few and there seems to be no end in sight to this dynamic. Though the paradigm of civilization has improved, there exists no society today that doesn't require the working populace to share the majority of the market so a select few can live beyond any reasonable means. There is no conspiracy at work here, just the universal indifference to utilitarianism that free market capitalism thrives on, and this discrepancy is even more pronounced in more culturally regulated and market restricted countries. This isn't to say that there is no freedom, no dream, and no escape, but as the average human sinks deeper into the endless archive that is the internet, I fear for the collective rage and its cooling simmer (the bedrock of a healthy and adaptive government) as the boundary between security and privacy becomes increasingly thin. Social media is complicit to political apathy and hypersensitivity, but its ability to unite was demonstrated only recently during the Arab Spring, the effects of which endure. It is not enough to dislike or post or share or even debate in order to correct centuries of grave injustice forced unto almost all of us, and I no longer have any confidence in my government to protect or do what is best for me. I believe rage, unfiltered, distilled and sustaining, is the only treatment for our ills. Cast down those that would lie to your face and steal from your home to ensure five more years of living in the capital and accomplishing nothing. Demand a new standard for what we learn, more meritocracy for who leads, and accountability for the sins of countless fathers willing to incur infamy for moments of total segregation. Push them aside or set them ablaze, but do so before we latch onto a fragment of the halfbaked and illusory democracy existent today in these United States. Brave forth with spear and spine of book toward a tumbling turn of events and when the dust settles, stand tall atop the ruins of the unexceptional. Insurrection, in its simplest form, exists as a force of nature: once charted its course does not waver. Breathe life into the storm and take what is yours.

Everything annoys me. I also annoy myself. For instance, if conditions are not almost perfect to start something I put it off until I either move on or they become so. I have a hard time accepting that the first time I start something new it won't be a masterpiece so I don't do it. If I do do it then I get angry at myself for it not being up to my standards and become discouraged instead of accepting the flaws and persevering.

It is a cycle I would like to break but, ironically, it is difficult to start.

I'm a virgin loser. I have nothing going for me and no energy to make anything happen. I'm sheltered and dumb. I'm always behind everyone else. I picked a major that won't make me any money and I don't have a job and have never had one. I've never kissed a girl. I'm a boring pussy. I don't know how to improve myself. I don't feel good when I do accomplish things. I have no purpose in my life. Everything is a competition that I won't win. I want to leave home and get prostitutes and kill myself but I'm to lazy to even finish that fantasy in my head. My whole identity is nothing. I had too much anxiety to even fit in with the stoners in school, I could have overdosed on something by now. I never even had a rebellious phase, I kept everything in my head. I'm not close to anyone. I will never create anything great.

All my emotions and passion will be completely dulled through overuse in my brain before I can finally enter a relationship. All the nerves on my dick will be completely dulled through masturbation before I have sex. University is half over and I'm still a lost 14 year old. I will always feel like Charlie Brown.

You're young and you need to focus on improving yourself. If you don't know how, start reading about it. Write it down, approach it scientifically and break it down issue-by-issue. Stop talking negative, stop obsessing over being with a girl or not as if it's a standard of manhood. A good chunk of people would stay single until they met someone they genuinely liked if it weren't for societal norms and sexual urges they have to contend with. You still have your whole life ahead of you and your basing your expectations of the future on what your experiencing now. There's nothing inherently wrong with you just because you don't fit in with everyone else so well. You just have to spend more time finding yourself than the average person does to function in society, and most people would have a higher quality of life if they did but they never take a serious look within.

Keep fighting. Man's life on earth is but warfare, but if you walk through it dejected and despondent then you already lost the fight. Win for everyone who believes in you and wants the best for you. You owe that to yourself.

Just finished reading Bleeding Edge by Thomas Pynchon. It's the third of his books I have read after Gravity's Rainbow and The Crying of Lot 49 and would consider it my favourite.
One thing that gets me down though is the way that reviews I have read have critiqued the way that narrative is structured. As opposed to the Gravity's Rainbow structure where scenes drift in and out of focus almost like a dream, Bleeding Edge actually has a focused narrative which the reader can easily follow.
This is something which I felt allowed Pynchon's prose to flourish as opposed to suffer. Instead of trying to decipher what the characters were doing and how they ended up there, you could enjoy his witticisms and observations from the regular narrative structure.
This may seem like "Uhhh just get gud reading scub" kind of review, but it's refreshing to read a Pynchon novel where the subject matter is something where the references are not lost on me at all and the structure is simplified to allow his prose to be centre stage.

I'm 21 and I'm about to cut my father completely out of my life.

I lived with him and my mum until I was 4 which was when they got divorced and lost the house we were in because of my father's alcoholism. I started seeing him when I was 7 which was when he cut down on his alcoholism and told me and my brothers he had quit drinking completely. I still remember feeling hurt when a man who looked homeless approached us in public and introduced himself as one of my dad's old friends, and asked my dad out for a drink and my dad told him he no longer drank alcohol and then thinking we wouldn't see it, winked at him to imply he's lying and told him he'd call him later. During an outing with him once a bottle of whiskey rolled out from under his car seat and he panicked and quickly told me he was keeping it there for a friend and put it back.

Since I was seven I saw him once a week until I turned 13, our outings would consist of him taking us up to the small town centre and buying us something cheap and then taking us back to his mother's house (where he lived until he was nearly 50) and sitting downstairs while we played on the xbox in his bedroom. He never really contributed anything to mine or my brother's upbringing until I turned 11 which was when he got a job and started paying my mum a tiny amount of child support (he still pays it for my younger brother but constantly brings up how he can't wait to stop paying him).

When I was 13 my mum kicked me out of the house over an argument and I went to my dad's mother's house to stay with him, I remember feeling happy to finally spend some time with him as this was the first time I'd ever stayed overnight with him since before him and my mother got divorced. I selected a film out of some DVDs I brought over with me for us to watch and we sat down together in front of the TV at night time to watch it while his mum and dad were asleep. During the film he was on his laptop and at one point got up to go to the toilet, I looked over to his laptop out of curiosity and he was watching porn (he used to leave porn lying around the house when I was 2 to 3 years old and I remember once going downstairs and pressing play on the video player and porn coming on the TV because he hadn't taken the video out after he'd been watching it all night while me and my mum were asleep, he'd also call phone sex lines which would show up on the phone bill at the end of the month).

When I was 13 we had an argument over something and I stopped seeing him again until I turned 15, since then our outings have been him taking me out in his car once a week to get fast food and then dropping me off back at home. I've struggled with a lot during this time, namely money and getting jobs and he has helped me with NOTHING. When I see him I feel like strangling him, he's a very ugly man a his girlfriend is even uglier than he is.

Sometimes when we drive past girls he'll make comments about them and it makes me feel putrid because of (1/2)

how vile he is as a person. He has never helped me even with things that he COULD very easily help me with (teaching me how to drive etc). He earns more than my mother does yet cannot wait to stop paying her child support for my youngest brother (both of my younger brothers cut him off ages ago). I've only kept seeing him because he's my father but I'm going to finally cut him off because I can't stand him anymore. Sometimes when I see him he says he hasn't been a bad father in a way that's really just him waiting for me to say "no you haven't" for reassurance that his subhuman effort at raising kids hasn't actually been just that.

His humour always consists of him doing something weird like farting or making scrunched up faces with strange voices, he'd often do this in public when he used to take us out places and it used to embarrass me a lot.

TRULY I don't think he'll ever understand the effect he's had on me or my brothers by being such a spineless coward throughout our lives.

My brother is the most reddit human on the planet. Anytime I criticize a game he says he liked it and that he plays games to have fun. He listens to NPR and says it's unbiased, says you have to do cardio to lose fat and weights will do nothing, watches binging with babish. He is a consumer. He bought some fallout pack despite owning all the games (he's only played 3, NV, and 4) just for a shitty replica mini nuke. He dropped out of a middling state school to do nothing. He's been living with my parents while I go to college. All he does is play dark souls, wait tables, and go partying with friends. Never argue with him because nothing can be criticized that he even might potentially like. I brought up politics with him and he voted to Gary Johnson. William Gibson and Phillip K Dick are his favorite authors, except he's too lazy to get a script for his ADHD that was diagnosed way back in middle school (he stopped taking his medicine around eighth grade) so he hardly ever reads anything. Despite claiming to be bisexual, every relationship he's had has been with a man. It could be he's too lazy to make the effort for women, or more probable he's actually gay -- claims to not care about breasts. Additional to his lazy reddit NEET ways he made me suck his dick when I was a wee lad. I believe this might've caused some trauma resulting in slight homosexuality but I'll never tell anyone about it. I confronted him once and he feigned igorance. Maybe he really did repress it. He argues with my Dad, who I get along with very well, constantly over anything despite being a lazy parasite. This skunk sprays at any criticism. Anything bad that he does gets rationalized to be the other person's fault, his boyfriend recently broke up with him, it's already be spun that that he should've been the one to break up with his boyfriend long ago. All of this makes me very annoyed.

It bothers me that women wear so much makeup. I know even young healthy women often have weak sickly looking faces underneath but I feel a perverse attraction to that. It’s as if the appearance of weakness triggers a kind of paternal instinct, making me want to protect and provide for them. I’m no cash-sureendering gynocentrist and I know better than to lay down my life obsessively striving to satisfy the craving for pair bonding behaviors. Still, it helps to articulate these feelings if only to faceless internet jerks I may never meet. I’m on day 5 of nofap and there’s a gentile persistent tightness in my stomach. I realize makeup is a form of self expression and it is a woman’s prerogative to decide the way in which she presents herself to the world. That being said I can’t help but suspect much of this behavior is stoked by competition for mates and the endless profiteering thereof. That plasticine sheen is offputting in the worst way.

I had a shot on the girl that I like.
She liked me back i think but i was too slow and chickened out because my friends kept on telling me she's just playing me.
The sad part is she is with my friend now and that totally caught me off guard. I felt betrayed after finding it out through my other friend and he did confessed to me about it after i confronted him.
I lost my first kiss on her, though we were both drunk and i can still remember the rain of that late evening. We even cuddled once so I can say i did have a shot. I screwed up alot also since shit is new to me which made me even more afraid to pursue something that wont amount to anything but pain. It was as if I was stuck in my indecisivness to do anything about getting her and not really knowing what to do. Maybe im just feeling regret now. Idk. and i would be seeing them frequently now since we're classmates in most of our classes. Im just venting out. Ive cried about her maybe twice now. It just that sudden pain, its really new to me. In my head i kept on thinking I shouldn't be hurt, the both of us were barely lovers. Anyways I'll end this rambling sorry Anons if the text is too long.

I want to have a soul-to-soul conversation with someone on this board. It doesn't matter who, as long as you are real. And you will know if you are real if you read this post and feel a familiarity. I want to know for certain if the person with which I speak is really there. Convince me as if your life depended on it. Because I don't believe it. I've never experienced another lay their soul bare for me before. I want that experience. I want to be mesmerized by it. I want to feel a connection. I want to know at one moment in time, that me and someone else, both alive and real, are sharing the same thought. Even if it lasts but one moment, I promise to remember this moment forever.

Sleep Paralysis
Awaken. You find yourself in a theater that's pitch black. You know you're in one, but you can't remember how you got there. You can feel the vacuous atmosphere that a theater possesses – even in silence. You clap your hands. It echoes.
The seat is very comfortable. It's almost as if the seat was made for you; you're not even sure how that's possible, but the moment you thought it, you realized it must be true. It is absolutely pitch black, you do the hand-test just to be sure... You put your hand in front of your own face and if you can't see it, it’s completely, unsparingly, pitch black... It is. Your hand is completely immersed in darkness. It's comfortable. You're comfortable. For this moment, you are satisfied with your life. Away from them, away from it all. In your seemingly busy and yet boring life, you've managed to find refuge in this book. Wait. Book? Why did you suddenly have a slip in thought that you were reading a book? You laugh at yourself, and the echo is ingested deep into the comfortable, solo theater. You're always over-crowding your mind with thoughts like that, but in this theater, it's eaten by the darkness that has swallowed you – it too, like all other thoughts slip away into the pitch black abyss. However – as you're pushing the grasp of comfort away – you're still a wonder of how you got here. Where's the exit? The entrance? No, that's not the right question to be asking yourself. What were you doing before you got here? …You think it over in your contemplative mind and come to the excoriated realization that you can't remember. In fact, you can't remember a lot of things. A pale and rigid anxiety begins to fester and boil putrid abscesses as you begin to realize that you’ve even forgotten your own name. You try to move, but the comforting chair has you stapled and sealed to your own horror and terror. You smell a putrid sewer coming from the floor, feel a creeping and chilling water scythe your ankles. You try to speak but as you do the hand of Death grasps your throat, sucking out the sound of fear and presence of warmth.The foul, pitch black oil then rises above your knees. You find that the leather hand grasps tighter around you, so chilling that it burns through your esophagus. The water continues to rise. Fear. The murk is at your waist as you try harder to shriek. The ice cold is up to your neck, engulfing you even more than Death's grasp. The water is thicker than molasses, you can't even hold your breath, what do you do? You begin to dawn on how fruitless your endeavor is. You taste the murk of sickly grief and a foul face of disgust bursts from your now infested soul. The clamps of Death are inescapable, and unavoidable. Is this Death to all? A sudden, stalking, ballad and dance as black lights illuminate a stage of incest? An end to all things beautiful? Are you beautiful? Do you deserve to live? If you had, Death would not whisper pitch black in your ear:
"Come with me."

I always thought political corruption was just a stereotype. After researching Mike Madigan, seeing SPN codes after the Vietnam War, and just a better understanding of politics in general, I'm a lot more skeptical of higher government. While I still try to check the facts, it's becoming more and more apparent to me that people will gain power anyway they can. There are things that we're not told, but it's not some insidious conspiracy. It's just people being people. Looking for a piece of the pie.

If you really don't know the extent that the conscious mind fabricates opposition to good things or to extraneous exercise, than you need to read more. Look into sport physiology, as this will tell you Why the mind tells you wrong information like "I have to stop now or I'll die." Holding your breath under water is the one that always gets me. Apparently, your brain is a pussy that needs to shut the fuck up so that your embodied awareness can make itself apparent to itself - yes, that is fucked up, but it's the best description of getting into non-dual awareness that'll ever get. CBT is a good starting point for painful cognition, but it can be taken a step further beyond just cognition so that you can learn to read the signals of pain as crying wolf.

The difference is it's a well known stereotype. So when it fulfilled the traits are reinforced. It's why when we see black people acting respectful or raising kids its a pleasant surprise, it completely subverts our very reasonable expectations about a stereotype. The truth is black people are proud to be black but god would we rather not be associated for the most part with what being 'black' is. I've stood in a line for example and a black woman is yelling at a cashier about something beyond their power, in that same line are several white people me and one other black guy. We see all of this happening, everyone in the line is annoyed witnessing this woman freak out and me and the other black guy will lock eyes and shake our heads. It's a cultural pain in the ass that happens frequently. So maybe he's being racist, but stereotypes save time and behavior reinforces them

I hate cars. It is literally impossible to find a beautiful car or even a beautiful society where cars exist. They shit up the city by their very presence. Cities are not optimized for them and so they're always stuck in traffic. You cannot have some time of silence at a sidewalk while eating or drinking without those noisy fuckers blasting their horns at each other like the barbarians that they are. You cannot take a good sight at a beautiful building in the city without Molly and her red SUV passing by with gaudy stickers that say "NUMBER ONE MOM". Those car drivers who want to avoid the shitty act of driving in the city create even uglier suburbs which spread like the plague. It literally expands forever, raping the countryside. In it, everyone becomes detached from their work, their school, their friends, etc. and so no genuine spirit of community forms. You only find paranoiacs aka people that scream >muh freedumbs (see /g/). It creates a society of sick people, not healthy ones. Those who want to escape the city and the suburbs attempt to move to the country. However, it is literally impossible to move to the country as trains going there do not fucking exist now that cars are so widespread. You have to take the car once more and again you pollute the countryside with your shitty Ford automobile blasting Lil Tyrone's latest rap album and going at a speed of six gorillion miles per hour. Imagine that sight. Fuck cars.

All I've wanted my entire life was to be a self-sufficient fictional writer, I'm still in my early twenties but I'm currently a year away from completing my BA in Accounting and while I don't despise spreadsheets I feel like half of my soul is ripped away when I'm not writing something creative, when I'm not thinking of new fantastical ideas. I currently work as an accountant while I'm going to school to get my BA and my life is extremely busy right now, I can barely write anything besides posting a couple times a day on /lit/ at times like this, I'm only happy when I write fiction. I hate that I know I have no other choice but to pursue this accounting degree and get into a big five which will work me 80 hours a week for five years so I can be hireable afterwards to a more comfy gig. My dream has always been to be a fictional writer, I want to write a beautiful series, I want to write novels and see other people enjoy them. I'm stuck, I'm not miserable but I'm desperate, extremely desperate. I'm not depressed, I'm impulsively trying to find an avenue into at the very least becoming someone who has a collection of short stories scattered throughout the internet, I want something as a creative writer but I have no time, I'm stressed and I only have posts like this a couple times a day.

The entire idea of becoming a master of anything is only looking for social proof, validation. If you choose one subject to Master, you will never have the potential that others have in their work. The people who become master of none with many interests are usually just ignorant of how little effort they put into their life, how little passion they have for their interests. Only those who indulge in many interests and become Masters in the process have any chance at overcoming their inclusion into the standard mediocrity of contemporary culture.

A specialist is usually not able to communicate their speciality to others outside their field unless their interests are so varied that they can pull metaphors and allusions from other activities to explain themselves.

There is definitely such thing as generalists who have mastered their subject or skill.

political views are worthless abstractions next to decisions of real political action. Anyone can be left or right in their head. I know many people who swear up and down how rightwing they are, but it's easy to catch them up in their bullshit when you talk about real power and real politics. And considering how little power you probably have, being right or left is ridiculous posturing that only gives information collecters a hint as towards which way you'll vote, not how you would deal with an actual issue.

A Nazi on 4chan is no different, no less powerless than a gamer choosing Orcs or Elves and, if you think otherwise, you're destined to fit in well with the rest of the /lit/tles.

The redpill exists only as a deterrent from actual political engagement in the same manner that News-comedy or infotainment or infowars subverts community bridging efforts of various groups.

The fact that Nazis and Feminists have some much in common and are so opposed to Right-libertarians will never be apparent to those who identify themselves within those tribes, or swarms or herds.

Right-communists and Fascists have this problem too.

And then don't get me started on environmental and cultural distinctions that result in specific, usually countrywide false right/left dichotomies that are not universal at all when comparing the actual strategy of political parties.

---

I'm an Omnivorists myself, devouring political agency until I myself am able to set the measure of political views. Some people call this wanting to be a tyrant, but I like to think of myself as much more detached to the people and the earth. I'm more like a cancer, and humanity is simply a resource which I will digest and then be done with forever. I'm more interested in creating a symbiotic entity with the earth so as to grow a mouth in which I can chew the sun.

I've mused at calling this the enlightenment pill, but I don't want people to think I'm joking. I'm dead serious about this. It's the only relevant political view I've been able to come up with to suit the natural tendencies with which I was born.

I feel that it's nearly impossible for me to meaningfully understand, and express new idea within, philosophy or literature because I would need such serious investments of time to read through the history of both.

I do not know whether to read a work many times over to fully digest it or rapidly move through my catalogue of books. I'm thinking the former might be best given my procrastination.

People who are pathologically convinced of their inability to comprehend ideas are beyond help.
Your brain digests information by correlating it with new information and recognizing inherent or imagined patterns within. People who understand The Iliad back and forth do so because they've read a dozen or more other works that elucidate others' variant understandings of the work, not because they focused so hard that their brain somehow constructed a mapping of all possible modes of understanding the work.

Why are (a lot of) old people so entitled, selfish, and stupid yet get get onto younger people for it? It blows my mind.

I love my grandma, I guess. Not sure, honestly. Does that make me sound edgy? I know we're supposed to love our family but my grandma is so stupid. An obese woman who attempts to diet (but always needs her sweets), a hoarder, a complainer, watches Fox News and Jimmy Swaggart (a televangelist who peddles books and CDs that "guarantee a blessing"), and supports Israel and everything the American government does now that Trump is "in charge." She can't argue any of the points she parrots. She only talks at people and not with them. She is pushy about her religion to the point of driving away her friends (same with politics too) and hardly leaves her house. It's very depressing.

I feel nothing towards her but anger most of the time. I do not love her like I love my mom or something. I have been questioning the entire concept of family love too lately. Do I love my mom? I care about her and do things for her and want her to be happy and that, but is it love? It's all just chemicals and that, right?

It's a Tibetan sky burial. Its only similarity with a Tower of Silence is the use of vultures.
One might argue that it serves a practical purpose, as the climate conditions of the Himalayas will make a dead body last for a very long time without rotting. Tibetans also make mommies out of lamas. Of course, the Buddhist scriptures describe this practice thoroughly in the Satipatthana Sutta (MN 10) as the contemplation of death (maranasati).

last night I had a dream where, after an accident that leads to the amputation of a woman's foot, she sits on a gurney and takes a scalpel and starts to cut at the stump. At first, I thought she was just cutting the bandages away, but she kept cutting, higher and higher and I realized she was cutting down deep. She flung the scalpel away, eyes flat and dead and then crammed her fingers into her own leg and started peeling the flesh off of her bones. Not just the skin, but huge strips of muscle and fat, that slack, lifeless look on her face, shucking herself like corn, using both hands to slip underneath and pull it away from blood pink bone, red purple muscle and yellow curd just... turning inside out with that LOOK ON HER FACE. I ran away, ending up in a beach house, all white and pale blue, a lot of open windows hung with delicate white curtains that drifted in the breeze. The front facing out into a white sand beach, and the backyard filled with sand and beach grass at the edges of the white picket fence. This place is terrifying. I go out into the backyard and find a tengu mask without a mouth or eyes half buried in the sand. I brush the sand away, and I know that I am going to die. There is something under the sand. It has wide, gleaming eyes and a grinning mouth filled with too many teeth. It will kill us all, but it will kill me faster if it knows that I know. I make my way back to our house slowly, so slowly, and it's moving the thing is moving. I can FEEL it. The neighbors are too loud. It gets them first. It slides out of the sand and tears them apart, blood spraying and bones crunching. I stand in the living room, listening to their screaming, I'm watching my family sitting on the sofa from behind, and they're oblivious. It's coming. We're next. We're all going to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to know. I don't want to watch this. I close my eyes. It doesn't help.

Then she says some tihngs, and you continue like this, each volley of sentences should be related, don't go sperg off about something unmentioned.

>snatching children away from their parents
As per legislation made at the end of the Bush era, Marshals can't detain children for more than 20 days in the instance that their legal guardian has been charged with a crime, they have to be held in a separate facility - the alternative, and what was being done prior to this, is that they'd just be released into civilian safehouses which were constant points for illegal integration.
Now, when immigrants cross the border illegally for the first time, they're found and charged with the appropriate sentence, a misdemeanor, and if they don't bitch and moan and fight for appeals to the sentence they and their children are deported.
The problem arises when someone attempts to cross illegally on a repeat offense, or applies for asylum after already being charged with illegally crossing. That legal process can take weeks or months, and the Marshals can't legally hold onto the kids that long, so as per adjustments made to the law during the Obama administration they have to turn them over to underfunded second-party detainment centers until their parents are either granted asylum or charged and deported.

Illegal immigrants are literally doing this to themselves, smuggling their own children across the border knowing full well that they are committing a crime and then wondering how they end up in prisons and why they aren't being given full amenities for endangering themselves and their children. And this has been happening for over 8 years.
If you come up to a proper port of entry and say "I need to apply for asylum", the US doesn't charge you with any crime and you and your children are held in the custody of ICE, not the U.S. Marshals, where you and your kids can stay together just fine. All you have to do is not break the fucking law.

Actually, the border has seen a resurgence of immigrants after a brief respite following Trump's inauguration when immigrants expected the policies to change. The numbers have come back up specifically because would-be immigrants are aware that policy HASN'T changed.
Illegal Immigrants from Mexico and South America aren't fleeing war-torn countries, disease, famine, etc. They're taking deliberate actions, doing their research and they choose illegal entry because they know full well they don't qualify for asylum status.
These people aren't the idiots you believe them to be?

It's also not America's job to advertise its immigration policies in foreign countries, outside of the existing embassies and immigration offices that already do exist in Mexico and every other foreign country where you already can apply for asylum status without breaking the law.

I don't care about sex with her, she's much too short for my tastes. I initially talked with her just to help her out of it, then I fell for her personality. Trying to change her as I would a friend, then I start to think of her as a love interest.
I will never be with her, if a woman turns me down then comes back I always say no. Learned that lesson before.
Now I just talk to her (fake insta accounts) to see how she is, and it's just sad to see how she won't change at all. I am overall better now, I changed and got better friends and was encouraging her to, but she won't do it without my help. But I know as soon as I leave again she'll just go back to the bad stuff she does. It's more like seeing a friend who just wallows in their own filth that used to be someone you cared for.

Sexual desires and behaviors are certainly informed by social and developmental pressures - but not the other way around. You can't take a person's fetishes out of context and reconstruct their entire personality, or even aspects of it. People can even experience extreme dissociation in attitude and behavior between their daily lives and their sex lives, you don't have any way of reading one into the other even though both are affected by similar external pressures.

yes, there are other mechanisms at work when a person subscribes to some ideology besides pure rationality.
If you're gonna claim we're born with biases, you need to propose some biological mechanism whereby these predispositions could be transmitted. (spoiler: this doesn't exist).
Here's another explanation:
Each ideology comes with an associated aesthetic.
A conservative dad will never be caught dead agreeing with a socialism about anything, not because he has knowledge or information that would make that illogical, but because to be associated with faggy, unamerican liberal cucks is unthinkable to him. It would clash with his established aesthetic and effectively destroy his persona. Defense of the ego is the underlying mechanism.

Let me ask you this, if we're going to hold people accountable by to different laws by nature of their skins, why don't we give a shitload of benefits and subsidies to whites?

How is someone so heartless and spineless that they can look at the person they call a friend and promise to them that there was nothing going on with the friend’s girlfriend when there was a long, chaotic night of pure, intentional debauchery and nippletwisting? Telling him there is nothing going on made me visualize this urge to tell him the truth as a parasite that is begging to surface. I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing to my friend. Just earlier tonight, I convinced her to leave him, and it was eerily easy, like leading a trained horse into the stables. She didn’t even stop to think it over. I am taking a girl away from my friend and I haven’t even thought twice myself. Am I an emerging sociopath? Have I found true love? Am I just an evil, disruptive emotional vampire that will fuck over one of few friends to the point he will find out and will not be able to do or say anything? She gave me one taste and that was it. What the fuck is wrong with me?
