I don’t even agree with your shit how am I better at it than you. How are you gonna jerk off over the rules based societal order and then claim you can ignore whatever highest court you have because you personally disagree. mfer you just reinvented feudalism again

Once you realise most people don’t give a shit about anything that doesn’t directly affect or implicate them, you realise why things remain how they are.

“A political movement based on an appeal to people’s sense of justice will be a short-lived movement at best. You have to appeal to people’s sense of necessity.”

Try to tell people to stop eating meat and reduce their consumption of dietary animal products because of the moral/environmental disaster that it is, and suddenly it’s too hard to have empathy.

That’s because they don’t have beliefs. It’s all just vibes to them

Moralists don’t really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child’s toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn’t change – not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

It never gets any less tiresome telling “nonpolitical” smuglords that they are supporting the status quo, probably outright benefit from it, and are just dodging labels because conservatism (and liberalism for that matter) seem uncool. They just have theirs and want to feel superior to you.

But have you considered that the really enlightened mindset is precisely Super Sigma-Male 3 in which one is too busy holding their hand over a flame, flexing their bicep in a mirror, dreaming of murdering minorities, and transcending the need for compassion to have time for politics?

G. Gordon Liddy was an absolute unit. A unit of pure derangement but a unit nonetheless
