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
I got my husband White Identity and If We Do Nothing for his birthday
@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.
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.
fiction, or fortune-teller?
I agree it's probably best to remain pragmatic, @Jacob but we've had a good amount of negativitytoday. While there are no doubt some people who are inspired to take action by bad news, I think you'll find most people respond to success.
Cautiously optimistic, but eternally wary
tbh i'm only negative because i want @Papa Pizzagate to suplex me while JT refs
Success begets success. People want to see and achieve winnable battles. We're never going to "ban blackpills and bad news" that's just silly, but our organizational culture has to be one where optimism and positive self-affirmation of ourselves and our people take precedence over hatred of others and negativity.
@Asatru Artist - MD it's just a prank bro
@Asatru Artist - MD
You were at the dinner where mister Taylor spoke. Do you disagree with his assessment?
Nationalism is Rising
Globalism is falling
Neoliberalism is on it's way out
Trump taught the American public to hate the media, and they do.
People are seeking other answers to the truths of our broken society and system
White Identity is in the air.
Sure, there's plenty to be glum about, but there is also alot to be optimistic about too.
Yeah may as well give up I guess (?)
