Consept

@MarkKol Their content is designed to resonate with you. If you think about a con man, to the person theyre conning, theyre great, they say all the right things, they make them feel seen, they offer hope etc and sometimes even if you see red flags you ignore them because of all the 'positive' stuff. A con man gives you the promise of what you want but never really gives it to you and takes what he wants from you the deeper you're drawn in. Think about the girls he groomed, when they met he gave them passionate love, understanding, an attractive presentation, promised they would get married etc, to these girls this is what they've always wanted. Because of that when he asks them tp gey on camera and make money for him theyre willing to make that sacrifice because they've bought into the lie. What I would say is Tey and fi d role models or mentors that don't wish to exploit you and don't slip in toxic advice with the good advice. Also never follow someone fully just take what is useful.

Yeah it was wild back then, some would even get a camera in the room when they got backed. Imagine the girl watching and theyre breaking down everything your saying, how to counter your points, escalating etc you just thought that was an attractive guy with charisma

It's a bit gray area because you can't really film without consent if you're going to publish, you need release forms otherwise you could get sued. Usually in-fields blur the faces which in theory I guess would be on the right side if legality but it's still a bit morally dubious as their voices are usually clear as well as any identifying marks, they have no idea they're being filmed and in some cases they could be quite compromising situations. So it's not completely clean hence the backlash

You would know better than me, but public facing the optics weren't as bad for rsd as others, behind the scenes it was probably different

The Julien thing was bad but i think what put the nail in the coffin was really bad, unscrupulous PUAs. RSD definitely had its issues and maybe just the idea of training guys to roam the streets trying to talk to girls looks really bad inherently. Some PUAs just took it to another level and were actually scumbags who would push it too far with girls. Youtube just didnt really police any pick-up content but the backlash against these guys was too much for them to ignore. RSD actually survived Juliengate but they just couldnt have survived the onslaught on the whole industry, which wasnt necessarily their fault but they were part of it. It seems like it affected Owen a lot but if he was being honest and took responsibility, he wouldve seen the changes he needed to make. Leo called him out in the pick-up rant video and i think Owen responded as well so he was aware. Anyway this Vice doc about Justin Wayne was really the final bullet -

I dont think all of them really support Trump but they do know most of their audience does, so if they dont speak too much about politics they probably didnt vote Trump, I saw a Jeffy video the other day that made me think that, Not sure about the rest, Owens def on the Trump train though

Racial segregation and jim crow is a bit much, anything close to that will cause a civil war. I think the most damaging thing that will happen is the mass deportation, that will destroy families, jobs the economy, sentiment toward the US. The other thing is if he actually does the tariffs that could mess up a lot of things as well. The US will be set back immensely, even if he does 10% of what hes saying, but the segregation stuff would be a stretch, thats a really fringe issue.

yeah it could be or most likely theyll be a crash and we'll rise and then go through the same bullshit again.

Yeah i think a mix of fear of what was happening, anti-establishment sentiment, social media making it easy to distribute misinfo and yeah free time as well. During the time I would get daily content sent to me via wats app of just total bullshit and people would believe it. Im not even talking vaccine skepticism, I mean like a video of army vehicles being transported on the motorway and people believing that the army was going to lock down london. This is family members, friends etc who i thought were reasonable people, tbf when I did point out the bullshit with evidence some did back down, but it made me see how easy it was for people to be taken in because of the situation. So I think since then the anti-establishment sentiment has remained as well as the social media stuff although that started to get regulated a bit better. Remember before covid there was no need for the misinformation tags on posts, a lot of this was developed because of covid. Yeah thats the crux of it, its jarring because we might have thought humanity was at a certain point but its obviously not there yet, so its accepting where we are at and i guess doing what we can from our position. I do sometimes feel im living in an insane asylum. Whats weird as well is that the amount of comfort, freedom and opportunity America have compared to the rest of the world, most of it anyway, is insane. Of all the countries to rebel its so strange that America are rebelling, like what do you even want? youre already winning

Wow thanks man, very helpful and i really respect what youve put into the game. Ive bookmarked your post and im definitely going to try some of the steps youve suggested

Im with you bro, it always blew my mind that anyone could fall for Hitlers rhetoric and that blind and emotional to let someone like that do what he did. I didnt think people were actually that emotionally led. But here we are, I think covid and social media have led to this, where people realised they could just alter their perspective of reality and get others to follow. I read by our side you mean reason and actual desire for truth and understanding, whatever 'party' or form that takes. The right are obsessed with the right 'winning'. I completely hear you though, I can definitely imagine that case study

Is this your belief? This could be a good issue to prove my point. My contention would be you believe most immigrants are criminals because of hateful rhetoric that youve heard, to the point where you truly believe something is true that casts a terrible light on a group of people. What percentage of criminals do you think are criminals and do you have evidence or statistics that can confirm most immigrants are criminals?

Dunno itll probably get a bit technical but keeping it broad is there anything i can do to get to 2000, my highest was 1750

OK bud, wishing you the best though, just get the sense things are a bit tough for you at the moment

What's your ranking? I'm like 1600, could do with some tips actually
