I wish I was an Ancient Greek hero. You could just wander around on the ancient roads half naked carrying only a club beating up bandits on the way from going on adventure after adventure to fight monsters and perform tasks for the gods. The largest political units being city states, the world being wild and unexplored. You could defeat a monster and win a princesses hand or chase after some nature spirit without being me too’d.

This is what actual freedom looks like. I hate the modern world there is no freedom and no way to break our chains. The only paths in life to live successfully in the western world are to go to college and enslave yourself in debt and then spend the next 40 years in a soul destroying job paying off that debt.

The other path is going to a trade school and getting a trade job, so at least you’re not in much debt which allows for more freedom to just get up and go, though you’ll likely still be stuck in a back breaking and arduous job until retirement, since you’re not making as much money and there’s no where of complete freedom that you can flee too, you’ll just find the soulless mediocrity of modernity where ever you go even if you try to start an adventure somewhere far away.

If you don’t follow either of these paths you are crushed by modernity into the poor fag slave caste, doomed for the rest of your life to work multiple humiliating jobs and cope by getting addicted to drugs. Or end up homeless or living off the kindness of others and cope by getting addicted to drugs.

The only exceptions are if you’re extremely lucky and are born rich or manage to become rich, and are able to afford to create you’re own enclave of freedom, or able to afford to travel to the few natural places modernity has not been able to take root (though ironically you’ll be bringing it with yourself).

Also don’t give me that join the military shit there’s no adventure there. Western militaries are an utter joke with their admittance of women and faggots. Unless you’re talking the elite units that are physically impossible for a woman to enter (without help from administration), it is essentially just a jobs program that aims to spread western degeneracy by force. If we ever enter a war with Russia or China they would be destroyed completely.

There is no hope, there is no freedom, there is no escape.

Please God burn this civilization to the ground.

city statism is the peak of human civilization and freedom, prove me wrong. i can only hope that one day we will live in a star wars like universe where each planet acts like a city state so you could just move around to a political system and civilization that you like, or live stateless among the stars.

Achilles was a epic loser, Aeneas is the one true Classical hero. Everyday, the realization that Aeneas and the surviving Trojans would go on to build an empire which would rule over the Greeks for 1600 years fills me with joy.

The life of greek heroes is certainly noble, beautiful and good. But I could'nt do without internet and rock music. Our time-space is more to my liking. Good luck to you, op, on your journey to the stars. \m/

Shut the fuck up faggot, you'd consider suicide if your internet went down for a week. You're depressed and listless and have taken to romanticizing a shitty person doing shitty things in shitty places to other shitty people. What's next, you're gonna wish you were a pirate because they just sang songs and drank beer on the ocean all day? You're like one of those 75 IQ inner city youths who try to join da bluds or something because rap music told them it'd be all money, bitches, and respect when in reality they get to be human shields and errand boys for triple felons and make less than minimum wage. Except, of course, you're even worse because you have an extra layer of self-unawaredness because you see the former and think you're different than they are, but you're not.
