if i had that mindset i think i would at least join a church and get my family in there to help protect them. i'm sure he could find something that roughly matches up with that kind of thinking. he's totally checked out though. he thinks each individual needs to figure things out and there's nothing he can do to prevent anything with his kids. i work with the guy though so it's hard to directly criticize these things. i just talk with him on his level.

Is he an introvert?

yeah

Yeah. Seems like it. It seems like one of those "perfect world" ethical points of view. Those only work on paper, and given all the assumptions work. Idealistic while not at all pragmatic.

he thinks the world is completely controlled. nothing but your own personal experience can be trusted. if you try and get success you're playing into their hands. if you try and resist you'll get crushed. so all you can do is be passive and be true to conscience or whatever.

Defeatist solipsism?

yep

the end of the conspiracy road

Who does he think "they" are?

jews/globalists/people who control money and have access to both lost ancient and far future technology

that's why he likes hitler and saddam, because they got destroyed, meaning they were fighting for truth

trump is totally controlled

Ah now I know what you mean. I know those types.

normally i wouldn't bother talking to people like this but he's a coworker of sorts so i make the best of it

i wrote a post on trs forums a while back about how to sort the conspiracy people wheat from the chaff.

Link?

Love stuff like that

bc conspiracy is weird both ways: the believer and the non look at each other like they're both crazy

got a trs account? it's locked down

Ah no. Damn.

it's ok i'll throw it up on a pastebin or somethign so all can see

I fully agree with your analysis.

I laughed at this though: How skeptical are they? (1 don’t believe everything at face value, 10 deny objective reality)

reading it again i think i might be a bit harsh at the end. perhaps they can be snapped out of it if presented with a different way of coping with the stress of life. maybe some real hard life experiences too....but that could be considered a chemical/physical change to the brain too. they've established these extreme conspiracy pathways in their brain as a way of dealing.

yeah i guess the scale should start at gullible. oh well. i'm a novice writer.

I laughed at that one bc I see that as a test for "How much pop culture has got in your woman?"

That's the test for every "People of WalMart" pic I've ever seen lol

At any rate - I don't think it's too harsh tbh. There are most definitely are beyond hope.

Perhaps I was a bit too harsh on this co-worker of yours. However, I don't think he really believes it, it is just a kind of self pity.

Account Alice Teller shows everything wrong with American women today

i'm at the point now where i refuse to follow or listen to any women at all. even if they're perfectly aligned with what i think. i only tolerate the ones in my family.

even when researching traditional female role things like...cleaning, homeschooling stuff...i'd rather find men

to be clear i'm not a mgtow, i'm married with multiple children. i just don't see it as helpful. and i'm sick of seeing men make the same mistakes with women over and over. so i'm trying to set a good example 😛

i don't think this is a radical position historically either

Ill listen to them, engage them, but it's all through the filter that no matter what their vagina alone makes them bias

In some ways like listening to a child talk about the moon being made of cheese. There are those, though, I appreciate. Even with them I keep in mind where they speak from.

i get my fill from my family maybe. i don't feel the need to get exposure to them. if i didn't then i probably would want to interact, outside of sex stuff. just a desire to relate with other people.

bitcoin almost back to where it was a month ago. wild ride. heavy chinese investment. also just people scared. gold and sliver probably doing well too but i haven't checked.

every right winger/political dissident needs to be familiar with cryptocurrencies imo. it's an incredibly important tool.

The smart women are married and not really engaged in the internet. Smart women tend to be dull and boring when they aren't your type.
