Toxic car culture

Ok, dude. Obviously I would be less kind to racists, but equating attractive women with racists is delusional. I said what I had to say for your benefit. If you dismiss it entirely, I don’t know how to help you. Only you can help yourself if you want. Apperantly you don't want to.

Yes, unfortunately. I hope they will be genuinely open to therapy or at least some self-introspection. Now this behaviour may hurt only him, but too much unresolved anger and hatred for a long time has the potential to explode and it may put other women at risk.

I felt relieved and validated when I read about your experience with weed. Thank you for writing about it 😊

I consume weed in a ritualistic way when I feel the inner calling, usually once or twice a year. Every trip is so intense and insightful that I get so tired of the intensity that I can’t touch it for a while. I write my insights in a notebook, and review them later but the words do no justice to the experience itself.

That’s a good idea. I love fragrant plants and dreams, and the combination of them sounds exotic. My favorite fragrant plant is Night-blooming jasmine (Cestrum nocturnum).

I feel that you are just upset because you desire them so much but don’t get them, so you cope by hating them and reducing them to nothing basically devaluing her in order to cope. A very common trap men fall into. The problem is not with beautiful women, but with you. Can you acknowledge it? This poor woman that you project all sorts of things onto has nothing to do with it. She may be the kindest and sweetest lady, but in your corrupted and selfish mind, as long as she doesn’t unconditionally admire you and doesn’t throw herself at you to sleep with you, she is the devil. You don’t have to treat all beautiful people better than others (I too don’t understand why people treat beautiful people better than others, and I find it silly ape behavior) just have basic respect and neutrality toward everyone regardless of their looks, and don’t be an asshole for no reason. If you desire a good-looking woman, acknowledge it rather than suppressing it, because you will keep suffering from rage, hatred, and a sense of victimhood until this is addressed.

I was diagnosed with BPD twice by two different psychiatrists (though I don’t identify with it much and am pretty skeptical of it), and I have no tattoos. I know women with tattoos who are the last people who can be called unstable. And considering that tattoos are very common today, this is definitely not a sign of “emotionally unstable women”. In general, the obsession of the manosphere with “emotionally unstable women” is so funny and ridiculous. They see any liberal woman as emotionally unstable or as having BPD just because she is more individualistic and more expressive (whether emotionally, artistically or in her style and fashion), which is something their fragile egos can’t handle. This is, in my opinion a sort of modern witch hunt a modern way to mark “bad women” which is in itself toxic. Of course, this is not to deny that there are women with mental illness who do cause harm to their surroundings, but the enthusiasm and obsession with emotionally unstable women is so cringe, considering that most of the crimes in society, including gender-based crimes, are committed by men. In the bottom line, if you meet a woman, take the time to get to know her and then see if you are compatible or not. Very simple.

This is beautiful and exciting. I both admire and envy them for this adventure. I just wonder why they didn’t actually land on the moon. It’s been 50 years since a human being landed on the moon, and I wonder what the reason for that is. There are theories about NHI on the moon that frightened the hell out of astronauts who landed there, but those may be speculations that fall into the realm of conspiracy theories. I read about it in a book by Ingo Swann. He is a famous remote viewer, but I don’t know how credible he is. I feel deep awe at the possibility of a human traveling through space, but at the same time, I am deeply annoyed by the purpose of this, which is basically to settle on the moon in the future. This bothers me because the thought of some rich people making it their luxurious vacation space or something disgusts me. I don’t want the moon to be controlled by humans, especially the worst kind of them. We barely can get rid of them on Earth and now they want to settle on the moon!

With your sexist and misogynistic attitude, no self-respecting woman, let alone a spiritual one, would ever tolerate you because your character is immature and awful. You are welcome.

When I think that I have seen everything in this forum, it never disappoints me with its myopic ignorance and stupidity. It delivers it every time.

This is interesting because Russian women are the opposite of the submissive woman stereotype. They can be very harsh, even beyond the level that Western men are used to.

Hahaha I know right? Imagine living in Russia for years under Putin with all the corruption maybe thinking about an escape plan and some people elsewhere who have barely been there for half a year idealizing the exact country you are desperately trying to move out of. What a cognitive dissonance.

The Russian culture is rich, but Russia itself is a very low-conscious, corrupted place. Just because the West sucks (and it does on many levels) doesn’t mean that Russia, China, or any Eastern country is ideal. People in the West are so tired and disappointed with the West for various reasons, and I can understand that, but it doesn’t mean that the East is better. I mean, there are some aspects in which the West or the East is better, but idealizing either creeps me out. There is a trend of right-wing people from the West moving to Russia in the belief that it is some conservative utopia, but it turns out to be hell because Russia is not an immigrant-friendly country. It is ironic that the same conservatives in America who resist immigration to the US and demonize immigrants find themselves as immigrants in Russia and receive the same treatment they gave to immigrants in the US. The following is so funny and sad to watch:

@Jordan of the Shire Thank you for taking the time to respond. I don't understand how the second part of your post is related to the first part, but it seems that you wrote your stream of consciousness reflecting some deep thinking, which is beautiful.

Here is an unbiased explanation: At the end of February 2026, Israel and the U.S. attacked Iran militarily. On the first day of the attack, they killed the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei. In Iran, there is the Ayatollah regime (an Islamic totalitarian theocracy) which oppresses the Iranian people, and it is estimated that 50%-70% of Iranian citizens oppose it. The U.S. and Israel claim that the reason for the attack is to disarm the regime that has rejected and threatened Israel and the U.S. for decades because they represent Western values. Iran works with proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, which are terrorist organizations, to achieve its ultimate goal of establishing dominance; part of this is to remove the "Zionist entity," which is basically the destruction of Israel. Iran is considered to be in a sort of cold war with Saudi Arabia (which is more pro-America and pro-West) over who will dominate the Middle East. Some people claim that the U.S. and Israel leadership started the war merely to distract their citizens and the world from their corruption and shady dealings. (This may be true, but here we are at risk of entering the rabbit hole of brain‑rotting, unproven conspiracy theories, so we need to be careful) The bigger picture is that this war is part of a long struggle between the West and the East: Western values vs. communist/totalitarian values: Russia/China vs. the U.S. You can see this by the allies of each side. The U.S. is allied with other countries with the same Western democratic and capitalistic values, like Europe, Israel, Australia, Japan, South Korea, etc. Iran is allied with regimes with the same communist/totalitarian values, like Russia, North Korea, and China. This is a war about control of the narrative, values, and territory.

That's OK. It takes a village to heal one person. The current approach to mental illness is too focused on the individual, ignoring the fact that the individual is intertwined with the collective and is not totally isolated or separate. This is why I don't believe that one can be fully recovered as long as society is sick. Mental illness can be contagious. Even if someone is healed but lives in an unhealed environment, they may adopt the same dysfunctional patterns in the end or become re-traumatized. This is why the future approach to treating mental health issues may focus less on the individual and more on the collective, on a systemic level. Don't feel bad about it. People who sell courses and various self-help programs sometimes imply that the issue is only in your head and that it can be treated with willpower or exercise alone, but this is often wishful thinking. Keep doing what you can to make yourself feel better. Maybe incorporate small rituals (such as meditation, journaling, reading, drinking tea or coffee, spending time in the sun, skywatching, birdwatching, and self-care rituals like bathing, dancing, singing, or creating art) and be very present and intentional about them. You can learn more about rituals and how they help with the mental health crisis in books like The Power of Ritual by Casper ter Kuile. Move your body daily and add beauty to your life to make it feel more meaningful, and if possible surround yourself with healed people.

If you want a deeper understanding of that, there is a book called Right Wing Women by Andrea Dworkin which elaborates on the psychology of women who uphold the patriarchy (basically about why they shoot themselves in the foot). This talks specifically about right-wing women in America, but the same applies to right-wing women worldwide and even to some other women across the political spectrum.

Hahaha Ok dude. You sound really triggered out of nowhere in your attempts to defend your weak argument. Do you agree that there are advantages to reading, right? How do you think you would gain those advantages if you read only once in a while? The advantages of reading require consistency. Reading once in a while it's like trying to lose weight by running and eating only apples once a month just because you are in the “mood”. This is ok by the way if you are not a type of a person to do anything daily but just because you don't like or enjoy it doesn't mean that it's not beneficial for others or lame. It’s much better than a daily TikTok scroll for hours or trolling decent forum members with nonsense.

Reading books is not lame. It is a source of high-quality information. If you are a curious person who loves to learn and expand your horizons, books are perfect for that. There are books about anything and everything. There are many advantages to reading books, including novels. Reading trains our brain to focus (an antidote to a short attention span), improves memory, helps us hold complicated and nuanced ideas, strengthens critical thinking, and expands the imagination and more. If you read like a robot just to memorize things, you are doing it wrong. You should read slowly and contemplate the material you read. Books give you material to chew on. You don’t even have to agree with the author! You can argue with the author (in your mind or in notes). As a remedy and an antidote to your hubris, I recommend reading at least 30 minutes daily. Start with The Shallows by Nicholas Carr and Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman to understand how illiteracy and people who don’t read books can negatively affect society on many levels. You guys with your illiterate mentally bring a lot of trouble upon us.

Cool… It launches in 5 minutes...

Feminism is not a movement that is built on blaming men; this is a very shallow view. For most, it is a movement for gender equality. It is not ideal, of course, and is always evolving. It criticizes the patriarchy and strict gender roles, and it expects more accountability from men as a group with more power. Men don't listen to feminists because of misogyny and because of the shame in realizing how brainwashed they were by patriarchy, how much harm it caused them as individuals and how much harm they caused because of it. This shame should motivate them to be better people rather than killing the messenger (women and feminists). Killing the messenger and blaming it is the most coward and low conscious thing to do. Feminists can't decide for men or do the work for them to become better men, this is up to them.
