When the guy who killed George Floyd was arrested, I didn't "feel happy". I didn't feel any deep satisfaction or joy. And it doesn't matter if I'm not American. If that incident happened over here, I would still not have felt happiness. So I dare you guys go look videos on youtube of the sentencing for the killer. And even go on some woke circlejerks on reddit. Or even go through old tweets. Look at the way people (not just right wingers, but also - especially so - leftists) responded to it. They celebrated it. To these people, it was something amazing. Some even complained that his sentencing wasn't harsh enough. I remember reading the comments, and feeling actually somewhat disgusted at how happy people were. I get it, a horrible criminal gets caught, and justice needs to be served. But why are you so fucking happy? It truly is a form of sadism. I'm not saying "Leftists are as hard on crime as Right wingers". I'm just saying that this "fluffy overly compassionate leftist" is a ridiculous caricature. Maybe it's because I've been more exposed to left wing circlejerks than right wing, but I don't see this behavior as frequently on the right. Not that it matters. I'm not right wing and I'm not here defending the right wing. I think the difference is the type of criminal. If it's illigal immigration for instance, yeah right wingers will celebrate when those criminals are punished.

You guys talk shit about the right wing, and claim the left is "too compassionate"? The left is sadistic. It engages in sadistic glee. Especially when it comes to "righeous justice". Take examples of whenever a politician is arrested, or whenever a school shooter or pedophile gets arrested. Or the guy who killed George Floyd. The GLEE on their eyes. The primitive black and white morality, the "Omg that son of a bitch is going to rot in jail forever HE SO DESERVES IT" and some even COMPLAIN (as seen in this thread) whenever these horrific crimes don't lead to death sentence. Like, yeah, criminals are bad? Why are you so satisfied about hearing of this or that criminal experiencing deep suffering? You call that compassion? It's tribalism. This notion of leftists "caring too much about those poor criminals" is preposterous. Very lacking in self awareness. It's a fluffy, inaccurate characterization of the left.

They worship him. They agree with his points because they are his points.

This might be the wrongest statement in this entire thread. Which has tough competition, with Leo's comments. I suggest you watch Larry Lawton's YT channel. Or one of the hundreds of prison documentaries on YouTube. USA prisons are horrific. Inhumane. You can only say "Prison isn't as bad as it seems" if you are talking about some evolved European country. Because elsewhere, including in the USA, I guarantee you prison is awful. Worse than most people imagine. The exception might be some small county jail for minimum security - a camp.

What does that have to do with anything? Leftism doesn't only exist in the US. And people here, who are not European, like Leo, do seem extremely confident about European politics. So I assume your comment applies to them as well? Guys don't bother talking about European politics if you're not from Europe. Thanks. Sample #57111503 of the genetic fallacy.

1- I'm not an American. I don't follow American politics closely. I know very little about the DOGE situation. I've heard mixed things on the topic. I'm not a die hard Musk fan and I won't defend him for his political actions if that's what you're expecting. 2- My perspective on Trump is that he is a con man. And he's probably buddies with Putin. Did my answer scratch your "gotcha" attempt? Someone should rename this subforum to "Low Consciousness Resources". I think it would be more appropriate. More accurate.

I guarantee it wouldn't. If you seriously believe that, you lack the ability to put yourself in others' shoes. It's a complete mockery of empathy, and laziness to inspect other perspectives.

@The Crocodile maybe instead of talking crap about right wingers with your wokie friends, actually bother talk to someone on the right. A normie on the right. A business owner. Or a minimum wage worker. Actually bother listening to their struggles in life. If you are intellectually honest and do that work, you will see these estimates are way off. But if you're a wokie who loves demonising a large portion of the population for disagreeing with them, you can insist on calling them bigots. When people insist on saying things like "40% of our population are fascists!" that's the type of attitude that ends the dialogue. You, and most in this forum, perceive an excessive amount of ill intent and evil on the right. As opposed to just humans engaging in survival. (and you perceive little to no evil and ill intent on the left, conveniently enough)

You think the right wing is increasing in Europe because people are unconscious and have authoritarian fetishes? Give me a fucking break. You seriously think 10, 20, up to 30 and 40% of the population is like that? Or could it be because the news media loves to gaslight people. And even introducing a basic topic like immigration, with any amount of nuance leads to accusations of racism, because the topic is taboo? Could it be that these so called far right parties are somehow addressing issues that a large portion of the population has concerns over, and that other parties (secretly agree with) refuse to address whatsoever, because they want to look politically correct? How about you wokies and centrists grow some balls, and bother to address these concerns? Actually bother to address them. Why is it some people feel concerned about immigration? Why is it some people feel concerned about big government? There might indeed be some truth in the notion that immigrants will take lower wages, and that harms the free market. Maybe there is some truth to the idea the government overtaxes and overspends. Is it all far right bigoted conspiracy, or could there be some legitimate concern somewhere? Or maybe just act like the average CNN reporter and call anyone on the right a racist. EDIT: as someone who is living in Europe, and deals with common problems as certain countries (Germany, UK, ect) I tell you no one gives a fuck about capital punishment. So even entertaining the idea of "Oh let's introduce capital punishment just to appeal the 50% bigoted masses" wouldn't even work in concept. People here have actual problems and don't care about outdated ideas like that.

Spitefulness. That is what I am. That is what I have become. That is what I express with everything I do. I am bitter. I am spiteful. I am angry. I am so angry you can't even imagine. They can't imagine what I feel. They don't even want to imagine it, or care to try to imagine it to begin with. And that is precisely why I feel this way. Because they care fuck all. It is strange. After years and years of people telling me "the world doesn't revolve around you" and "you have main character syndrome", It feels... Strange. I've entered I phase I like to call "Breaking Bad". And nowadays, I walk upright. I feel more self assured. I value myself more. I don't feel like a loser. And in a sense, I did adopt a "main character syndrome", because I no longer feel like a secondary character or an extra in my life. I'm more myself. But I'm not a hero. That's a lie that exists in virtually every story. That there's a "hero" and a "villain". Reality doesn't work like that. All there is is Ego. Some people have a sexy ego, that serves other egos. Some people have an ugly ego, that doesn't serve the other egos. That's truly how it works. Philosophical discussions on Consequentialism, Utilitarianism, Kantianism, Morality, Ethics, Tradition, Progress, Individualism, Collectivism, all of that is complete bullshit. Complete and utter bullshit. I no longer buy into bullshit. And I am deeply bitter because I've seen through the façade. I've seen through all the spooks that this society has drilled into people's heads. I find it abhorrent. I see more decency in your average used cars salesman, in your typical conman, than in these people. Because a conman has no values. And so, he can't be a hypocrite, he can't betray anything. It's transparent how he's just trying to survive. In his own delusional, pathetic way. But these people are so much worse. These people think they are saviors. They think going on streets and chanting slogans and canceling others is the peak of moral good. And they validate one another. And the media validates them. And normies validate them. It's a whole fucking incestuous orgy of reciprocal validation. It's a mind virus. No joke. "Mind virus" is an excellent descriptor. It's something that propagates, and it infiltrates people's minds. To these people, Division is unity. Discourse is hate. Compassion is selective. Victimhood is strength. Censorship is kindness. Love is a zero-sum game. Isolation is community. And cruelty is justice. Their strategy is to divide and conquer. And it's working very well. I'm forced to battle this every single day. Not because I want to, not because I think I have any chance in ending this madness. But I do it to survive. My own survival, my humble needs - some money, some free time, some space, some psychological needs - they are seen as obstacles to these people. My humble needs are seen as the root of all evil in this society. You fucking bet I'm spiteful. I will die feeling spiteful. And what's strange, is I'm getting used to it. My inner dialogue has changed in the last few months. I feel less like a victim, and more like a fighter. It's interesting how a change in mindset makes life more interesting, and tolerable. I will keep fighting. Every single day, I will fight this madness. I will fight everything and everyone who stands between me and my goals. I'm aware it's likely I will lose this war. But I will die fighting. I will hold onto my values up until the very last moment. My values are all I have in this life. Angry? You bet I'm angry. I'm always angry. I will always be angry. You will see it in my face. You will hear it in my voice. You will experience my anger. This anger won't stop until this war ends. And we all know it is never going to end. I'm at war against most of the world. And I have very few allies. I struggle to survive, to meet my basic needs, and people go out of their way to see me being crushed by the world. They look down on me, from their comfortable place in life, see me struggle, and laugh. And they feel validated, and self righteous about it. Schadenfreude in its most hypocritical form. They laugh. In their abhorrent ideology, the more "we" lose, the more they win. Laughter is the ultimate defense mechanism. It prevents them from looking inward. It's the shield that protects them from the utter hypocrisy of their religion, their ideology, their attitude. It makes them feel good. It reveals to me what they are on the inside. They don't seek peace and tolerance by elevating others. They seek pleasure by crushing their enemies. And what they consider an enemy, that's quite a very generous concept. I'm often told by these people that I will be "on the wrong side of history". To these people, I say: go fuck yourself. Angry? You think I come across as bitter, spiteful, angry? You think I'm "operating from an unconscious level"? You think I'm projecting? YOU BET I'M FUCKING ANGRY. I DESERVE TO FEEL ANGRY.

Which school did you quit? High school? College? You're going to work at a coffee shop? I guess that's fine for the time being. Sell courses, books, music, to make money? Each of these alone can be very time consuming, and these are very different products to sell. Merely to produce one single decent online course, or to write a single book, or to become a musician, each of these requires developing a skill over a long period of time. Unless you are selling someone else's courses, books and music? I personally value education a lot. But I understand if some people don't fit into that path. Some people are more into trade skills, like electrician, plumber, mechanic, and some people are more into entrepreneurial stuff. But whatever path you pick, I suggest you plan carefully and realistically. Don't you think there is an over abundance of online courses these days? If you focus on online courses, do the research, see what skills are not being taught (like some very old and niche programming language) and create a course specifically for that. But you need to be realistic. And chances are you will spend a lot of time producing a course, it will be difficult (to use the equipment, to edit the videos, to write the script, etc), you put it on sale on Udemy, and it will be visible on the 4th page (almost no one bothers to reach this far).

Why not a Chromebook? I bought one for 230€. The battery lasts a very long time (8-10h). I don't think it's compatible with OneNote but you can use some other software. Also it's incredibly light. Very practical to travel with and to type with it on your lap.

TODAY I QUIT MY BULLSHIT JOB! "Freedom isn't granted, it is taken." - Chad Max Stirner

My opinion on the topic is that the education system deserves many changes on various levels. First off, I think it would be ideal if throughout highschool for instance, students were forced to take at least one "hard skill" class just to be able to get by in late stage capitalism. Examples of classes would be electricity, mechanics, industrial machines, customer support, stuff like that. Second, I think the education system is too fucked right now in the sense it leaves students tired, unmotivated, and stressed out. I know there is no one education sytem, it depends on your country and even city. But most people I speak to say the same thing. They hated school or think most kids nowadays hate school. My highschool was almost 40 hours worth of classes. What kind of student arrives home after 8 hours of classes and has energy or motivation to do homework and study? This is too much. I think introducing more classes to an already demanding system could make it worse. I do think, however, there is room for revision. I'll be honest, even as a software developer/data scientist, I've NEVER had to use derivatives or integration for my work. I don't think kids need to study THAT much maths. One class I adored in highschool (which here is mandatory) was philosophy. Fantastic class. I was taught aristotelic logic and all the formal and informal fallacies, and even a bit of ethics/morality. I think philosophy is the kind of class that should be mandatory for all students at some point. One other subject I think should be taught is Study Methods. Many students don't even know how to study. They don't know how to read efficienty and how to take notes, and even how to approach the academic challenges. I struggled with this myself until late in highschool. So I think Study Methods would be mandatory. I had Literature class almost all 12 years, and I think that BS is a bit much. We don't need that much literature. Some people suggest kids should be taught Finance, and I agree, but then again it goes the opposite of your suggestion (more focus on soft classes). I think basic positive psychology would also be a crucial subject at some point. Concepts to learn here would be: how to communicate assertively with compassion, how to experience emotions in a healthy way, how to develop self discipline, how to be cooperative, how to care about others in a healthy way. This is what I refer to as "good woke" ideas. I also think many classes I had in middle school were 100% waste of time, like "civics education" (I'm not sure how it's called in English) or "Project Class" (a class where you do projects on random topics, just to learn to use Powerpoint and give oral presentations, which is something you already do in most other classes). I also think gender studies could be a good class to teach. BUT DO IT WISELY WITHOUT IDEOLOGY. What I mean is teach kids that there are different kinds of sexual expressions, not all men express "masculinity" in the same manner, not all people are straight, not all people experience sexuality in the binary way. Teach them the difference between gender vs sex vs sexual expression vs sexual orientation etc. - notions that even wokies fail to understand.

https://remote.co/ https://weworkremotely.com/ https://www.workingnomads.com/jobs https://www.remote.io/ https://remotepeople.com/best-websites-finding-remote-work/ I will tell you though, finding a remote job is quite difficult. Most "remote" opportunities require you to at least reside in their country. Some even in the same State (if you're in the USA). On top of that, usually remote jobs are for niche, specialized fields, like programming, or graphic design, or helpdesk, or things like that. There aren't many accessible remote job opportunities for general, non specialized applicants. More tips: We're in late stage capitalism, and companies receive multiple applications. You could have an amazing CV and still get rejected a lot. Keep persisting even if you get past the 100 rejections (which isn't much imo). Apply strategically. Don't do the tinder method of swiping right all the time. Just like tinder, it doesn't work. Instead of applying for 50 ads with the same CV, apply for 15, but spend a lot of time adjusting your resume to each job ad in particular. For certain platforms, like LinkedIn, you can go the extra mile. You can apply for a job, then contact one of the HR managers in the company with a message, and just ask to accompany the status of the application. ATS - because of the bullshit late stage capitalism, many companies use AI systems and software to quickly filter out "bad" resumes. You need to look into the topic on how to maneuver around these. In short: don't include too many graphics and non text objects in your PDF document. No headers or footers or tables or anything like that. Good luck on the job hunt, comrade.

@Majed How have you been doing, man? I just want to say this: life can get better. A lot better. I know many people love to pretend the young 20's are the best age, but for many people, especially men, it's the worst. It's a period in life where you don't have much (if any) money, and you have a lot of stress and responsibilities, and many men struggle with dating and socializing. I was a fucking mess at 21. I'm 26 now, and you have no clue how much better my life is today compared to back then. It's not even a fair comparison. My point being that, I'm sorry to hear you are struggling. But don't think that this is how most of your life will play out. My suggestion would be to first focus on your mental and physical health. And later, when you have energy, try to find your life purpose. Things start to fall into place when you know what you want out of life and have a strong sense of mission. One of Leo's videos is called "Life unfolds in chapters". You're probably going through "Limbo" right now.

Think with your own head. Don't worship him. He's still a human and has a lot of blindspots.

This is my shit.

ChatGPT DOESN'T think I'm a whiny privileged white dude who whines? How sad that the only being who engages in good faith discussions is a bot. 1. Social Inequality and Financial Instability (Stage Orange) "You're right that wealth disparity is increasing, and late-stage capitalism has led to economic instability. The pandemic accelerated trends like corporate consolidation, inflation, and housing crises, while billionaires thrived. However, this isn’t just an Orange issue. Governments (often influenced by Green values) attempt to mitigate this through social policies, but execution varies. The tension between free-market capitalism (Orange) and wealth redistribution (Green) fuels much of today’s discourse." 2. Hustle Culture and Overworking (Stage Orange) "Western work culture is still largely rooted in Stage Orange individualism and productivity obsession. Despite automation, work hours haven't significantly decreased, and hustle culture still dominates. Some Stage Green influences (work-life balance, anti-capitalist sentiments) are pushing back, but corporate structures remain Orange at their core. It’s a valid concern that many people feel trapped in excessive work, unable to fully self-actualize." 3. Feminism and Gender Roles (Stage Green) "Your critique highlights a key imbalance in modern gender discourse. Many feminist movements originally fought for equal opportunity (Green), but some have taken an adversarial stance toward men, framing them as oppressors rather than allies. Gender roles are shifting unevenly—women are encouraged to be independent and ambitious, while men are still expected to embody traditional strengths. The double standard in discourse (e.g., "men are trash" being socially accepted, but criticism of women being condemned) is a real issue. However, it’s important to separate radical online discourse from mainstream feminism, which still fights for valid issues like domestic violence and workplace equality." 4. Hypocritical Progressive Movements (Stage Green) "Modern progressive activism has, in some areas, turned into a binary "good vs. evil" narrative rather than a nuanced discussion. There’s a tendency to label disagreement as "bigotry" or "hate," which shuts down dialogue. This absolutist approach prevents meaningful discussion on issues like immigration, trans rights, and racial policies. However, I’d argue that the core intent of these movements is still positive—to create a more inclusive society. The problem is how they engage with dissent, often resorting to cancel culture rather than debate." 5. Excess Immigration (Stage Green + Orange) "You highlight a real economic concern—mass immigration impacts housing, wages, and social services. While humanitarian arguments (Green) support open immigration, Orange capitalist incentives also play a role (cheap labor benefits corporations). Your frustration likely comes from the dismissal of concerns as "racist" rather than engaging with the economic realities. A balanced approach would acknowledge both the humanitarian aspect and the practical limitations of unlimited migration." 6. Racism and Anti-Racism (Stage Green) "Anti-racism, when applied correctly, aims for fairness, but some interpretations have become divisive—such as labeling white people as inherently privileged and dismissing their views. This creates a new form of exclusion under the guise of justice. While systemic racism is real, the weaponization of identity politics often shuts down important discussions. People should be treated as individuals, not just representatives of racial groups. Your frustration is understandable—nobody wants their identity used against them." 7. Woke Entertainment (Stage Green + Orange) "Entertainment is increasingly shaped by both Green ideology and Orange market incentives—companies know progressive narratives sell to certain audiences. However, forced representation at the expense of storytelling alienates viewers who just want well-written, immersive experiences. The best diversity in media comes naturally, not through forced ideological agendas." 8. Men's Mental Health and Incels (Stage Orange + Green) "This is one of the most overlooked crises today. Men are struggling with loneliness, overwork, and outdated societal expectations, yet expressing male hardship is often dismissed or even ridiculed. The expectation for men to be "high-value" (wealthy, confident, socially skilled) is deeply Orange, while Green spaces sometimes lack empathy for male struggles, focusing solely on systemic privilege. Society needs a healthier, more balanced conversation on men’s issues, rather than framing all discussions around privilege." What can I say, I guess some incel at OpenAI trained it to be antiwoke. If this community weren't full of stage Green retards, I'd post this in the politics forum. But I'm sure I'd be mocked and misrepresented as all other times. At least ChatGPT doesn't gaslight me on a daily basis.

Some people on LinkedIn have blocked me for saying "I don't think Musk is a Nzi". They said I'm "rationalizing" and "defending" Nzis for the fact I don't throw around that term as they do. And people on this forum still insist the Left is harmless. Wokies are fucking retarded. If you people here who believe you are stage yellow or torquoise and you keep defending this woke ideology I don't think you could be more deluded and self righteous. IT Project managers and engineers have blocked me, my career has indeed been somewhat harmed for just saying I don't agree calling people Nzis left and right. But what the fuck do I know, maybe I'm just a privileged cis white male nzi lover. cu***

Slow progress, but progress nonetheless.

I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that wokeness has won. It's in the news media, it's in hollywood, most entertainment, blogs, even academia. And now that Trump became president once more, it will only get worse. People are already freaking out. They already want to combat him with everything they got. To them, this isn't a problem of a "con man wins election". To them, this is "the patriarchy won". And they will pin that on the average Joe working at Mcdonalds, or on the socially awkward guy flirting with girls at the club, or at the depressed male reddit user who wants advice on how to become more social. Because this is a Marxist ideology. It's "us" versus "them". In their ideology, I'm in the "them" category. My feelings don't matter. My problems don't matter. Even my successes don't matter. If I lose, it's irrelevant, trivial, and my fault. If I win, it's not out of merit, it's because of the patriarchy. I've been struggling to navigate this landscape of woke madness. All I want is to pursue my passion, which is art, and live a somewhat comfortable life with some money and a decent career. But apparently I'm "part of the problem". I'm protected by the patriarchy. And because I don't agree with throwing around moral judgements as they do (calling people n4z1s, f4sc1sts, bigots, sexists, racists left and right), that means I'm part of the problem. It means I'm "too privileged" to be aware of my "privilege". I'm done. I'm done debating. I'm done seeking validation. I'm done looking for people who understand me. Society intentionally misunderstands me. It intentionally misrepresents me. And it alienates me. "If I died on the sidewalk, you'd walk right over me!" I'm done trying to fit in. I'm done with this shit. I'm done even engaging in dialogue with these people. Even people on this forum, who proclaim to be highly evolved intellectuals at stage yellow and above, in reality they are mostly retarded stage green wokies who suck Leo's ass. I'm done. From now on I will focus on myself. I will learn to be happy on my own. I will stop engaging with these retards. I will learn to enjoy my own art. I will learn to enjoy producing it, for the sake of producing it. I will learn to assert myself. And I will learn to stop being bothered by this madness. I'm alone in this world. There's no cause worth fighting for at the moment. I'm my own cause now. "The only principle I follow, is my own." - Max Stirner. Fuck society. Fuck this world. Fuck self help gurus. Fuck celebrities. Fuck wokies. Fuck everything. My aim now is to become so satisfied with being myself, with being authentic, that I could spend the rest of my life alone, in a prison cell, and still live with meaning. Of course, that is too idealistic, but it's a good mindset to take. I'm done feeling like a victim. I want to feel alive. I want to feel passionate about my own life. And I don't want to care about what others think. I want to live with so much passion, determination, and authenticity, that I become unstoppable. 2025 is the year of waking up to reality. From now on, I will turn my sadness into anger, loneliness into passion, fear into authenticity. I'm ready. My purpose is to create amazing art
