  • Doing nothing productive with your life, everything revolves around social drama, getting permission to take a shit…

    I enjoyed my time at school. But you’ve got to ask yourself, if the best time of your life was at school that means you’ve made bad decisions, so what did it prepare you for really? School failed you.

    The truth is that school fails all of us.



  • That’s not true either, almost every racist I run into on the internet talks mad shit about republicans for supporting Israel. Most of them wouldn’t vote for either party. I saw multiple news articles about klansmen in 2016 supporting Hillary Clinton on the grounds that she was anti desegregation when she worked on the Goldwater campaign in the 60s.

    I’ve met numerous liberals and leftists that were racist in private. Hell, Che Guevara was an outspoken racist. I don’t think racism is partisan, there are just people like that out there.


  • The algorithms killed the platforms. They’ve become vapid, empty holes that only attract people addicted to them like junkies.

    The internet can be fun, but you’re not going to find it on the platforms. You’re only going to find fun in places where people talk to each other. And even then, if you’re thin skinned you’re going to wind up in an outrage filled circlejerk. If you loosen up and go where the algorithms don’t exist you can have a good time.




  • No matter what you think of it, someone’s going to try to guilt and browbeat you. Support the Palestinians? You’re antisemitic and support terrorism. Support Israel? You’re supporting an oppressive apartheid state. So who cares whether you’re allowed, this is the world we live in, no matter what you think about anything there’s someone out there who’s going to call you a bad person for it. Just learn about things before you form an opinion, use your judgment and critical thinking and then figure out the truth of whatever it is.

    Personally, I don’t support either side. I can see how they both kind of brought each other’s retaliation on themselves. I just lament innocent people dying and dislike how it affects me.








  • Nelson Mandela was a terrorist, and also a hero.

    Being a terrorist, objectively with no emotional connotations connected, is about tactics. Plenty of freedom fighters use terroristic tactics. Plenty of groups that aren’t labelled terrorists use terrorist tactics. A key strategy in warfare is to inspire fear in your enemies. The underdog always has these tactics in his back pocket, and often it’s his most powerful weapon. Sometimes he’s a brute and a wannabe dictator or aspiring genocide committer, sometimes he’s a freedom fighter, often enough he’s both.

    At the end of the day, all warfare involves killing people for strategic reasons. It’s brutal. Hurling mud with the word “terrorist” does nobody any good in understanding the situation. It is very useful though in propagandizing a population and bypassing their critical thinking capability for an emotional reaction. Sanitizing war though as if there’s a good boy type behavior and a bad boy type behavior is senseless. In war, the worst things that can happen to people happen to people, always and forever. People engaging in war do what they need to do. Whether its right or wrong depends on whether you buy their narrative about their motivations, and whether you have unwavering universally applied principles of right and wrong.
