I found this Reddit comment insightful:

Only one guy survived. Here's a pretty good analysis of the situation:

Good time to invest into Boeing.

It's a bit premature perhaps to call it life purpose if you have very little experience doing these things, but it is definitely a good sign that you should continue pursuing them. Just see what happens.

I find distance to be necessary with family members that get on my nerves. Very simple. Requires that you have some self-sufficiency though.

Popeyes.

You Americans look like this from the outside. Try not to drown...

It is this exact snowflakery why people make fun of the left. Get real.

Because filming yourself having a meltdown isn't completely ridiculous and attention seeking.

Probably the most frustrating aspect of the left is their inability to acknowledge when things don't work according to their ideals. You can't even just talk about it without being labeled a racist or whatever. They just stick their heads in the sand and ignore it which leads people to loss trust in democratic institutions as they start feeling unsafe, powerless and unheard. Then they vote in Hitler who just needs to stoke the flames of their genuine grievances and there is your democratic decline. Like just in this thread, leftists can't make any actual argument for why controlled immigration is actually bad. It's all because it's racist, Trump bad, capitalism bad, white guilt (implied), buzzword, buzzword. They just don't like the vibe of violence and take survival for granted and they are very puritanical about it. I'm politically left-wing on most aspects, but honestly fuck the left. The best thing about Trump getting elected is fatherless people melting down on camera.

Christiania was a special case because the government/police didn't have any jurisdiction over it until recently. It was a Stage Green anarchist commune which eventually got overrun by gangs. Great case study in how a lack of conflict management and enforcement actually leads to more violence long-term. But your, right. Europe has been very cuckish and its only recently that that started to shift. Germany in particular has this culture of guilt and purity. The left is in general delusional about immigration which is why I tend to vote center left to escape that optics centered nonsense. America is still way more polarized politically though.

The American left seems to be a particular brand of stupid. It's so very optics based. Like immigration control is problematic just because it looks racist, irrespective if it actually is in of itself. In Denmark, you have to go far, far left all the the way to the fringes of the political aisle before anyone even starts thinking that controlled immigration is problematic. there isn't this noise of if its even slightly conservative its automatically bad. Political polarization is Americas most toxic cultural export, as I see it kind of spread through the internet.

Mind virus False beliefs that create a warped sense of reality. An effective and simple way to describe bad ideas that frames them as inherently having negative consequences for the people who hold such beliefs and others potentially. Like a disease. Belief in any noxious and false ideology is a mind virus. False limiting beliefs about yourself and life are mind viruses. Wrong beliefs held doggedly are mind viruses. Thinking unimportant things are important are mind viruses. Some concrete examples of mind viruses: Zionism Nazism Racist ideology Thinking that you are unlovable Untrue blackpills Thinking women don't deserve respect because of their gender Religion and idol worship Untrue old wives tales Thinking it is impossible for you to find happiness (usually not true) Used to stress intellectual and mental integrity. I love this one. Its so simple but conveys a lot of what you think of a particular idea and it's clear what it means.

I've been working on a new word that describes the kind of group think we tend to see on the internet which I felt no previous word adequately described. The word that I came up with being "ideological cult", which I define as a rigid group-identity centered around a particular ideology that excludes non-conformist thought and borders on being fanatical. Characteristics of an ideological cult: Is always a group identity. Highly conformist. Everyone involved just adopts and parrots the core beliefs of the ideological cult unquestioningly and non-conformist thought and behavior is excluded with prejudice. They almost exclusively propagate in echochambers because their highly defensive of their beliefs. Is usually is an attempt to solve some kind of common grievance but ends up creating exaggeratory, dramatic and binary thinking. Leans heavily on a victim mentality. Can be left by simply no longer subscribing to the core ideas of the cult, unlike a regular cult which relies more on indoctrination and power dynamics. You don't have to know anyone to be part of an ideological cult. It is defined by the core ideas and group-identity. Instills a world view of natural enemies, of us VS them (incels VS women/chads, sovereign citizens VS the law, trans VS transphobes, etc.). Tend to be algorithmically biased and are therefor prone to hyperbole and a sliding scale of extreme thought. Can have idol worship at its core but doesn't have to be (Eg. MAGA). Can be isolating, like an ordinary cult, as they can promote self-sabotaging beliefs, like thinking your too ugly to date. Propagate through the internet almost exclusively as ideological cults wholly rely on communication tools to survive. Examples of ideological cults: MAGA Nofap The online Trans movement Any pill community Flat earth Incels Antifa Hardline veganism Sovereign citizens Postmodern "woke" ideology Andrew Tate fans This definition is still kinda half-baked to be honest but I feel like there is no good word to describes these ideological groups that we see everywhere now online. There should be way more examples of ideological cults than I could come up with if my definition makes sense. These ideologies often prey on peoples insecurities and ignorance and cloud their thinking with exaggerated and false beliefs. It paradigm locks people in a conformist sort of way.

It's normal and healthy to deport illegal migrants. There's nothing inherently racist about maintaining border integrity. It's a necessary function of government which you can't simplistically treat as racist. Obama has deported more people than Trump during his first term (3 million). There's no shot Kamala wouldn't have been deporting people either. She just wouldn't make a show of it. Borderless societies are a fantasy. Your not going to change fundamental human nature and the need for national integrity.

Or you could just enforce the law. This isn't that complicated. You leftists don't want to talk about it honestly and directly. You bring in this stuff that is completely irrelevant because you don't want to face the goofy ideas of your ideology.

They are here illegally. It's not that deep. Leftists will act like your crazy for wanting borders to have integrity. It's crucial for trust in institutions. Just look at what happened with Brexit. People will vote in Hitler 2.0 if they feel like their institutions are making them unsafe.

His art was cheap looking junk and he clearly just wanted to get by. Street begging is also illegal where I then lived.

Women are valued for their looks mostly. Not their ability to lead and get shit done. And you can distinguish between different types of masculinity to a certain degree because getting things done looks different depending on the situation. A lot of guys are obsessed with hyper masculinity. Besides, size stopped mattering that much millions of years of ago when we figured out how to make spears. Being good at fighting hand to hand is mostly just recreational. We're not gorillas. Jeff Bezos is way closer to being a modern king and he's just an effective business leader.

I experienced a homeless person trying to sell me his art once before. an A4 copy machine print with some kind of drawing on it. It looked really cheap and pitiful, not going to lie. Like he was obviously just desperate so I offered my lunch as charity which made him really happy. He insisted I take the drawing, which I think I still have somewhere.

Sounds like your describing social proof but your example sounds more like she just thought you where an interesting conversationalist. I get what you mean though.

What's preselection?

In terms of being built, I think just not being too fat or too thin is the key distinction. There is otherwise no real downsides to being built I think and it will otherwise only help in terms of attractiveness.

Men tend to want to be way more ripped than is actually attractive and women want to be way thinner than is actually attractive. Dudes who look good to dudes look like The Rock and women who look good for women are really tall, are borderline anorexic and have really masculine jaws.
