Voting against your own best interests because you find it conservative rhetoric compelling is possibly the least complicated thing possible.

Yeah but the vibes are beyond sus. It's been the same owning the libs bullshit for 20 years. It's played out. Standing around watching Elon launch rockets is sus. For that matter, worshipping a billionaire is sus. The people Trump is appointing are a joke. Being an apologist for Christian and Conservative values is sus. Worshipping douchebag gym bros is sus. None of this is cool or vibes and all these people are playing you. You are literally posting on RM with a bunch of nerds. We are your people but you identify with the enemy. It's fucked up and a total betrayal. The thought might be enticing but Trump wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

I believe he would.

Don't betray the movement now that we are on the cusp of final victory. The wokes are in full retreat across the globe. This is not the time to become contrarian!

Woke sucks but red-pilled is worse. You traded one farce for another. Don't worry you won though. The whole world is going right. We will have to see how bad things get now before we return to a hopefully completely re-done leftist platform. I just pray the conservatives don't get here next but looks like it's inevitable.

Letter from Thomas Merton to D.T. Suzuki (March 12th, 1959):

The Christ we seek is within us, in our inmost self, *is* our inmost self, and yet infinitely transcends ourselves. We have to be "found in Him" and yet be perfectly ourselves and free from the domination......of any image of Him other than Himself. You see, that is the trouble with the Christian world. It is not dominated by Christ (which would be perfect freedom), it is enslaved by images and ideas of Christ that are creations and projections of men and stand in the way...of God's freedom. But Christ himself is in us as unknown and unseen. We follow Him, we find Him...and then He must vanish and we must go along without Him at our side. Why? Because He is even closer than that. *He is ourself.*

Sounds like a bunch of gobbledygook.

The self is a poisonous concept anyway.

This whole culture war is so stupid. I remember how it started like it was yesterday. 15 years ago I was sitting in the psych lounge trying to bed a couple of bougie dykes. I made a joke that my friends shoes were gay and everything turned sideways.

"That's homophobic"

"No no don't worry that's not what I meant. I love gay people."

"You're a cis gender homophobe!"

"Wtf no I'm not. Half of you are gay! You guys are my best friends..."

"Fascist pig!"

Everyone turned on me. The dykes and even the nerdy dudes. I was devastated and then I was mad. I started to base my opinion of the left on these hypocritical rich kids who had betrayed me. Then I saw a Jordan Peterson video confirming everything I felt. He said the left were not so tolerant after all. The next thing I know I am watching the whole Jordan Peterson biblical series on YouTube and now over a decade later Trump is in office.

There is no doubt in my mind that the woke movement is totally corrupt. But that doesn't make old school conservative douche baggery the answer either. The culture is fucked. More than ever there is truly no good choice in politics. But if you think Trump is an answer to the establishment you are as dumb as any woke is.

To tell yourself there is a self is a lie. It doesn't t exist. We just make up stories that we tell ourselves about who we are and inevitably it makes us sick because those stories aren't true. The century of the self was narcissistic and super sus.

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I am fighting every damn day to make sure that doesn't happen to anyone else. And Trump willing, we will succeed.

I'm also sorry that Jordan Peterson was tortured for nearly a year in an eastern european hospital by mossad agents, and now all he can do is cry like a girl and talk about how we have to save israel. He didn't deserve that.

Dude, in retrospect I am pretty sure the whole Russian hospital situation was Jordo helping setup the new alt right/ russia alliance. Btw there is supposedly proof Tucker and Jordo have been paid by Russia.

And also thank you for sympathizing. It was a fucked situation that lots of people have since gone through thus resulting in red-pill gaining tons of momentum.

But don't you get my point. It's like we got raped by Catholic priests and ran to a worse religion the next moment. That is my claim to you.
