Defined a generation (millennials),

I wish my dad would take his fucking meds. He calls me like three times a day over the most benign shit and if I don't pick up starts worrying and thinks I died.

"Great men" are remembered for their results. Not for being saints. Nobody cares how nice you are except ivory tower academics apparently. Vlad the Impaler is considered a hero in Romania. It probably wouldn't exist today if not for him. Certain things you can't accomplish without breaking an egg. Too much presentism 0/10

The case for slavery is that free labor is practical and humans are tribal. Everything else is a justification. People still yearn for free labor whenever they can get it, which is why companies make poor third worlders work their sweatshops. They are practically slaves by virtue of how profoundly unequal leverage each party has over the other. Also, learn to space your shit.

Pure environmentalism values the environment over humanity and wants humans to depopulate. It doesn't actually matter much how that is framed. You shouldn't really subscribe to any one ideology in my opinion. There's a reason why theword "ideologue" is prejorative. Because they are crazy people. Just cherry pick the best parts.

I always keep a copy of not giving a fuck next to my macbook inside my fjellraven backpack when I go to Starbucks for my macha latte and bagel. I've never read it.

By far the worst thing he has done. Death penalty

Mark Manson is kind of the Brian Griffin of self-help. Generic and has this smarminess to him.

I never heard anyone say "I respect" you outside of a fight where they need to reestablish trust. Respect is something you show through your actions in my opinion. Words are nice but only one factor.

No ideology in its pure form is really good nor do they exist in reality. Instead we cherry pick the best parts. Pure environmentalism would let a plague go on a rampage unabated, calling it natural.

How much? 🫣

Just broke up with my bf. Need to go to france real quick brb

The absolute reach of vsco, stanley cups and those fucken fjellraven backpacks. Corny as.

I used to follow him for a while. He suddenly turned like that. It was like wtf.

Fascism -has to continously manufacture enemies, both internal and external, in order to justify itself politically. Feminism -keeps moving the goalpost since biological reality doesn't support a 50/50 outcome relative to equality. Liberalism -invites chaos, instability and fragmentation by loosening of restrictions. Conservatism -maintaining its version of order at any cost leads to oppression and tyranny. Communism -requires that every single human being is altruistic, all the time. Which is impossible. Humans desire improvement of their lot in life. Socialism -it's impossible to adequately predict peoples demand for goods and services in a centralized fashion. The market changes too fast to keep up with for a single organization. Libertarianism -can't adequately provide public goods, regulate harmful business practices and neglects the social underclass (sick, elderly, etc.) Anarchism -without law and order humans will organize into tribes and gangs. Combating the violence and chaos of inter-tribal conflict itself leads to the formation of government. Environmentalism -values the environment more than humanity at its most extreme. Ends justify the means.
