@Alex Kolchak - NY Putting off homework is bad for the movement
Unfortunately laying on my back is really uncomfortable for me. I get a lot of pressure in my forehead and an almost instant headache
Oh bummer, that's a definitely a good reason to avoid it
@Papa Pizzagate In retrospect, it probably won't be acknowledged by either side; both have something to lose in doing so.
Chiropractic care can help the hip pain too
And yoga
I did neither, and regret it
Yeah, I saw a great chiropractor a few months ago. I want to go again when we can afford it
I don't have insurance so it's a pain
I am going to try the yoga/pelvic tilts
@Jacob what does wallowing in pathetic misery of our people's situation accomplish? Nothing.
Jared Taylor gave a brief presentation this Saturday to a room full of IE guys on why he personally feels optimistic for the future.
Being blackpilled does absolutely nothing
Granted some of his observations were pretty basic, but I'm inclined to agree.
if we don't have hope, do we have anything?
Good pinned tweet
If you think it's all useless and replacement is going to happen anyway, wouldn't you want to go down fighting?
Jared Taylor has been at this since 1990. He must be thrilled to have a group like us to talk to. Actually I sat across from him at dinner and it was great conversation.
I would love to meet Jared
while y'all are busy "fighting", i'm getting ready to take my somali-refugee wife's last name and adopt her 7 sons
@Isabella Locke-MT Stick around long enough and you will, no doubt.
@Goose BASED!
“It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going, because they were holding on to something. That there is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for.”
This is the passage I reread whenever I feel hopeless about our cause
@Ben Rainsford - OH LOTR is pretty reactionary in a way.
I would trust JT's assessment more than someone who hasn't been at this as long and doesn't study politics nearly professionally. We need low time preference more than anything now.
@Goose Goose Mohamed Farrah Aidid. Has a certain ring to it 😉
Lots of guys in our movement love Tolkien.
Tolkien is awesome
One of the best fiction writers, imo
He rejected the poison of modernity
Well, his writing is nearly 70 years old
Closer to last century than not.
It's crazy to think it's that old when it feels more relevant than ever
Yeah..
This says alot about our society
Spengler was already writing about the decline thirty years prior, though.
Spengler was a visionary. Tolkien was a fiction writer.
True dat.
One of the best, no doubt, but a fiction writer none-the-less.
@Papa Pizzagate I'm just responding to the tendency of some people to react angrily any time someone posts the slightest negative news. We shouldn't "wallow in misery" but we should acknowledge the obstacles that we face. I don't think I and many others would even be here today if we just clogged our ears and said "lalala nothing is wrong can't hear you". I understand that some people work differently psychologically and have different responses to positive and negative news. Some people get more motivation from positive news than negative news, which makes them want to give up. I get it. But that understanding should go both ways and we shouldn't shut down either side.
