Gotta stay hip
I do talk to people
I make an effort to maintain friends that don't align with me politically and don't have an interest in politics. It's just that we talk about school, work, etc. rather than celebrities
@Nemets "Haha these crime stats are just like that time in Harry Potter when Slytherin was causing all the issues in Hogwarts"
I know we kind of meme on people talking about the latest movies out and sports and other mundane “normie” topics but they’re honestly crucial in socialization and if we want to grow and be successful we should absolutely encourage we get along and interact with everyday people
I don't necessarily disagree with that
It's not that I have some weird superiority complex against people who watch Netflix, it's just that it doesn't interest me
...I-, is anime "normie"?

I don't watch Netflix because I don't have much interest in any specific shows, I watch like 2 channels, and I barely even actually watch them
@Gibson if you're gonna press X to doubt, might as well tell me why you disagree
I have sunk enough of my life into Star Wars and aSoIaF I can wear the mask
Hell yeah
Now that esoteric superhero lore I grew up sequestered learning is now mainstream.
I didn't ask for this feel
I'm real neanderthal with superhero movies, I just want to watch the fights, I don't really care for lore
I don't disagree that we should understand culture, it's just that I'm not sure how far I should take this. Should I force myself to listen to the newest pop songs? I'm not saying that mockingly or anything, I'm actually curious.
I just hate the POZ, and resent my bugman background
I think we absolutely need to have non-political interests, but I feel like there's plenty of things normal people can talk about without watching Netflix
Ya, that's what I'm saying
They do talk about more than that, so I'm not sure how necessary it is for me to keep up on the latest shows or whatever
I’m not saying watch Netflix lol
I’m saying othering the general population might not be the wisest strategy. Not that anyone in particular does that, but our lexicon can certainly imply it and produce that kind of mentality
no I think we do do that to an extent and it is a problem
I understand you're trying to use non-accusatory language so it comes off more softly, but I actually wouldn't have an issue with you outright saying that
Alright then I’m outright saying it lmao
okay I agree with that
I'm just trying to figure out what the solution is, so less of us do that. Me personally, I go to the gym regularly and I make an effort to have apolitical friends. But maybe that isn't enough.
I just leave my politics at the door unless it comes up in a reasonable manner
Lord, make me an instrument of your will. Where there is injustice against my people may I bring right. Where there is error may I bring truth. Where my people despair may I bring hope. Grant that I may comfort my people rather than to be comforted - to serve them rather than to be served. For it is by putting the needs of my people before my own that I may best serve to secure the existence of my race and a future for White children. Good night, and peace be with you.
Praise Odin goodnight my folk
I'm trying to figure out what the right balance for that is. If we want to be successful, I don't think we can entirely just leave our politics at the door. We need to talk about this stuff with people in real life. But, at the same time, we definitely don't want to be the annoying guys that constantly bring up politics. @Kingfish
Anytime politics comes up that is relevant im more than happy to jump in
So do you just wait for people to bring it up on their own? That might not be a bad strategy
I have a lot of conversations where I'll talk to Chad, Brads and rednecks and say "I like playing sports and watching high school and college sports is cool because the players represent their community but the NFL and MLB and NBA are a little commercialized these days don't you wish players stuck around on the same team and grew up near the city they play for?" I don't denounce, I keep relatable and I don't sound much different than normies complaining about how new penalty rules are stupid or how crazy it is that players make billions, etc.
I think if we do bring it up ourselves, we should somehow tie it into the topic at hand
If something comes up that I have an opinion on I share it
Yeah my "redpills" are always relevant
I never bring stuff up on my own
