lame shirt that doesnt fit, on a lame physique, tucked into pants that dont fit, tied with a waist that doesnt fit
face that has given up on anything else besides office and subscription to cable TV
and betraying country
I think that city living is anti-human, city-dwellers know nothing else than cities, and every cities of the world are the same, this is how you kill allegiance and you end up with males with gay haircuts and tight jeans, this is why I think infrastructures are more dangerous than ideology, they built themselves an universe removed from the world
@Salt I agree and have been trying to get prozak to understand for years
Westerners think their happiness is one purchase away
That's what all boils down to
No identity
No real values or loyalties, only imagined stuff
They imagine what they value but in reality are as water, dissapearing without trace facing any trial or test
They refuse the only and most logical option that can improve them vastly
And that is to limit their options
Limit the number of people they are loyal to, number of things they own, number of things they obey and consider sacred
Number of people they interact with, number of things they are prepared to vouch for, number of things which they are prepared to defend to the end
They always have to be committed to cosmopolianism, because otherwise they feel as if somebody is "denying" them something
As if they have to give up on this Ecumene which belongs to them, when in reality only thing they have to do is take charge of their own lives
I am only happy when asserting my identity
Basically people are mentally healthiest when asserting collective identity, and when times are too broken for that they default to personal identity instead
deviant art pages instead of cultural festivals
that is the main thing prozak fails to grasp about nationalism
he is mostly right but never hammers home how cathartic it was for Germans under Hitler to revel in their Germanness all the time for basically no reason
big pep rallies to make people feel great and proud about being German, little "You go, Hans!" propaganda everywhere in small details
reveling in how they are different from others, even if the differences are arbitrary
Koreans and japs do the same despite being almost exactly the same race
Man's individuation can aslo be positive
But only when understood as a test or training, not indulgence
An individual trains himself to raise above mediocrity
He can even give up collective loyalties, but not condemn them, because he is aware of their immanence
He acnkowledges that he cannot fit, but not that collective is inherently unnatural
well, everyone talks about either the worth of the individual or the worth of the collective as absolute
but those are shallow one dimensional philosophies
most of the point of confucian philosophy is to describe the ideal relationship between individual and collective
that is one of the reasons I like it so much
when normal retards say either "SLAVE FOR THE GLORY OF THE HORDE" or "FUCK YOU DAD," confucian philosophy gives a much subtler picture that explains both perspectives and their relation to one another
prozak's whole post Anus philosophy has just touched the tip of the iceberg on how much asians have thought about this shit
"Should individuals take precedence, or society?"
Whites: "Individuals!" "Society!" (civil war breaks out)
Chinese: "Well, that depends on the rank between people, their collective deeds, the relationship of their families, whose family is more prominent, how it would appear to the public, and many other factors"
