I am both a cynic and a misanthrope. I have a problem. I decided to ask for help since I was about to use the text below as a response to a question and quickly realized I need to talk about this before I become a 20 year old with the mentality of a dying 80 year old boomer. === Is there no place for men who want to be with a woman of similar or higher quality in the fundamentals, i.e., foresight, intelligence, ability to defer gratification, empathy, patience, etc.? Because whenever I hear or listen to MRA or dating related stuff it always seems to come down to manipulation. The man manipulates the woman for sexuality and motherhood, and the woman manipulates the man for resources and fatherhood ( I mean this both in the sense of becoming parents as well as being each other's pseudo-parent) . I want to break that cycle. Because it's a cycle that I lose even if I win. Say I am a man of great means, well does that mean I can marry a woman who is totally into self-knowledge, who is emotionally stable, is a virgin, can actually feel empathy for others, is actually capable of abstract thought beyond manipulating male desires, etc? Or is it just someone who can glamour herself far more impressively than the used up ho the homeless guy would get? === I want to point out I'm a guy with no friends. After graduating high school and entering the work force, and now working on getting my first real novel finished and published, I pretty much cut off all contact from everyone I used to know, and something very telling happened; nobody cared. No texts, no calls. Nothing. It was like I never existed. Of course I changed a lot since I was 18. Now that I'm 19, I'm no longer thinking about suicide on a daily basis thanks to a year of therapy, and instead of bemoaning the slowly dying world we live in I'm actually being a productive member of society with the right to piss on those who aren't. The fact that just came out of my mouth alone tells me I got a problem. And now I want to ask whoever happens to be in the area to help a brother out. I have no friends, I have no desire to make friends, I have an increasing disdain and lack of sympathy for people on a daily basis (heck terrorist attacks no longer piss me off or depress me, they're just thunderstorms to be ignored now), and I'm seriously worried about how this will affect me as I become an adult (legally I am but emotionally I'm not. Thanks single mom and educational system.) and even more so as I become a man, and I don't mean someone who fucked a whore with daddy issues. I'm talking someone who does work that makes him proud; someone who built something; someone who owns his own home; someone with a wife and children; someone that actually matters. Where is the question in this ventilation heap? Here it is: What the fuck should I do to start liking people and having faith in people? In spite of myself I can't help but admire those courageous individuals of integrity and conviction who actually give a damn about people and create lasting things in this world (like Papa Stef). And so I decided to become someone I'd actually look up to instead of someone who's barely better than the other single-mom brats. Having a high IQ doesn't mean shit if the childhood was toxic. But then Stef's existence proves me wrong a thousandfold. How the hell did that magical man come to be? Maybe he's got something that'd help me out? Maybe you have something because you have similar problems or overcame similar problems? I'll hear anything out since I want to change. I don't want to be a democrat. I don't want to be a cynical misanthrope who'd sell out others for a buck. I want to love again. I want to feel. I want to feel what it means to be a man. Hopefully something I said will be coherent enough to warrant a response. Because I need some straw to chew on. And I'd greatly appreciate anyone helping this little cow out. Moo...

Confederate heritage is undersiege by fearful globalist, we must band together against our common enemy, linked together in our cause and in our need, as the old saying goes, "Harm watch, harm catch", or if you watch others be hurt, you may be next.

I don't know about you, but I know that there was a period of time where I hated people. Let's just say this came around in my teens. I don't feel that way anymore. I think that I love all people, not necessarily how they act and how they are now, but how they were supposed to be without all of the trauma. It's been a few years since the transition. I wrote it in my journal, and I have yet to reread or transcribe what I had wrote, but I think the turning point for me was when I asked my, Do I really hate people, or do I love them so much that I cannot stand what they do to themselves and others? It sounds like you have a lot of assumptions and/or conclusions about the world and relationships. If they're not working out, challenge them. If they're just and valid, they can weather some skepticism and examination. If not, you might be able to free yourself by shrugging off these unnecessary burdens.

Two shows: Three Kingdoms (2010) which can be found on YouTube and is a historical drama about the legendary Three Kingdoms period, which has the awful record of being the bloodiest and longest war in history (106 years straight plus I think around 100 million deaths, with the nation's population starting at 50 million and ending at 13 million. As you might imagine the birth rate compensated greatly but gave the feudal warlords human cannon fodder). And "Oda Nobunaga: King of Zipangu". You used to be able to find the whole 50 episode series on YouTube, now it's just the first 25-ish (which is still very good). You might be able to find the missing episodes elsewhere, but I'd say overall this is a great history drama which portrays both the Late Warring States Period (1531-1600), focusing on the titular Nobunaga Oda (first name last name) and the Christian missionaries, particular Luis Frois, and his historically recorded interactions with both Japanese culture and the future Supreme Ruler Nobunaga himself. Neither are documentaries but very entertaining non-video game ways of getting into East Asian culture/history. Also for China there is the history drama "The Great Revival", which portrays the State of Yue's resistance to the State of Wu during the Spring and Autumn period (give or take 1000BC to 0AD), which has a lot of parallels with Christian lore and Jesus's crucifixion in particular. The attention to detail portrays super-ancient China very well. Lastly there's Yoshitsune, another Japanese history drama but made in 2006(?), about the hero Yoshitsune Minamoto and his struggle with the Heike Clan in the rise of the warrior class in medieval Japan (1080's), again used to be on YouTube but harder to find now. Just found these for Japan. Japanese Sun Goddess Amaterasu (basically an asexual Zeus-Jesus hybrid) behind the rock and the supposed supreme ancestor of the Imperial Family. Izanami and Izanagi, think Eve and Adam as Izanami (the mother of all gods) was tempted by the abyss and fell in while Izanagi (the father of all gods) tried and failed to rescue her, the two becoming essentially Mama Satan and Papa God.

Agreed. Only exception would be those who are, visually and culturally, white unicorns. (Basically the "if it quacks like a duck; looks like a duck; and speaks like a duck; it is a duck" parable) I think Holy American Empire will do, since America as the personification of that is white is pretty much a subtle character of Americanism, as it rarely specifies its Anglo-Saxon origin. Since it was the first non-colonial state in the Americas, simply calling it "America" has validity in its own right because at the time of inception, there were no other non-vassal states in the region. The East Asians have some similar stuff going on as well, hence why I greatly admire them, of course just because it's similar doesn't mean it's bad. Although ours is proven better by the centuries past. I wouldn't call them "mongoloids" since it confuses who is who, after all the Thailanders and Vietnamese are more equivalent to the Arabs and Egyptians whereas the Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese are the "Europeans" of the region. I'm assuming you don't know a lot about Asian history given you assume they just copied stuff from us. They invented the first firearms, a repeating crossbow, cannons, and until Western surgery was a thing they had the best doctors, and their art, well I suggest googling Japanese and Chinese artwork for an idea. More 2-D than ours but attractively so. They were selected mainly for utility as compared to creativity, which naturally meant their creativity was mostly in war machines, agriculture, and industry (until we hit the industrial revolution and blew them all away from there). They didn't start to stagnate until the Manchurians took over China and Korea, and the Tokugawa Shogunate in Japan started becoming increasingly inefficient and conformist. Otherwise the history of East Asia largely parallels the history of Europe, particularly China to Germany and Japan to England (albeit unlike England rather than explore the world their leaders decided to pretend it didn't exist, thereby going in the opposite direction of development, give or take around the late 1700's).

I didn't downvote you, I appreciate you trying to be honest here. So I'm sorry for the harshness of the comments to follow. This is exactly why white people are getting our AAAAASSSSSES kicked. You are more focused on your own guilt about being "raaaaaycist" than anger at the fucking murderer who just killed 20 children, and the community and culture which bred him, indoctrinated him, supported him, and radicalized him. Have you tried therapy? Because it could help you with this self-attack. You referred to your brain has stupid, and "things like that shouldn't be there". This fundamentally doesn't make any sense from a psychological standpoint; self actualizing means uniting all your parts, even the one's you think are "bad".

Men aren't hypergamous because both sexes cannot possibly be hypergamous at the same time. Men breed across and DOWN (hypogamy) in the dominance hierarchy. Women breed across and UP (hypergamy) in the dominance hierarchy. This is not a theory. It's human biology.

I'm Spartacus.........

F**k you ! I am not equal to a child murderer. However I am a very, very open minded person. If you do wish to be treated equally to those losers then I'll oblige: go burn in a fire with all of those proto-humans, that way all of us good people can finally live in peace.

So many God arguments seem to be goal post moving mixed with justification for why the last 10,000 theories on God didn't hold out. What emperically shows God is outside of time and how can you know given that you are inside of time and have no experience of and no method of detecting something "outside of time?" No one has ever been able to verify the existence of God through any detectable means, he's constantly pushed further and further into the realm of abstractions and the extent to which God can be argued for is the extent to which Humanity is simply ignorant of the mechanics of reality. It's truly a God of the Gaps.

In a recent video, Stef was speaking to a listener about pollution and brought up the issue of sedentary living and its negative effects. First, let me be clear, I am not disputing the negative effects of remaining sedentary for long periods, or the importance of exercise. But Stef, like many others, is vastly inflating the importance of exercise relative to other factors, namely diet. It's a common misconception (70% of people believe) that exercise and diet are both equally important to weight management and weight loss (International Food Information Council Foundation, 2011). This is simply untrue (Flatt, 2011). To quote Dr. Greger: 'What we put in our mouths is most important'. Regarding cancer, literally 5000 hours in the gym can't compete with a plant-based diet. Barnard et al. (2003) compared a group of participants eating a plant-based diet who did moderate exercise (i.e. walking) to another group who did daily, strenuous, hour-long exercise and ate a standard American diet, with a control group. After 14 years, the exercise group were still overweight whereas the diet and exercise group were a healthy weight. More importantly, the participants in the diet and exercise group were roughly twice as effective at fighting cancer growth compared to the exercise group. Another study by Jenkins et al. (2012) showed that consuming a cup a day of beans, chickpeas, or lentils for three months may reduce one's resting heart rate by as much as 250 hours on a treadmill. I strongly urge FDR to shine a light on the importance of diet. I have already posted about nutrition, twice. My first post didn't get much traction but my more recent post seems to have been well-received. References Barnard RJ, Ngo TH, Leung PS, Aronson WJ, Golding LA. Prostate.
