I see, yeah all my pre-redpill friends I just don't talk politics or religion with, generally, though a handful know I like Trump that's about it though

They changed the discussion topic from "personal finance" to "Kavanaugh hearings and hashtag meToo" today.

I warned them it wouldn't go well. Lo, and behold, it did not.

When you said "it won't go well" did they reply "you're a big guy"

4U

But it was true. here's a pro-tip from the belly of the Brooklyn beast: they fully expect things to get pear-shaped.

Not sure what that metaphor means

And they fully intend to push a metapoltical, societal paradigm that makes men second-guess every action. In case you didn't know.

Pear-Shaped: bad

Weight at the bottom?

Ah ok thanks

Yeah... I believe it.

Isn't it crazy to think that there's people who would be shocked if they knew what we believe?

Identitarianism is such a huge part of my identity, so all these people who think they know me don't really know me

Then again, that's not entirely true anymore for me, since I'm pretty open about my beliefs now

The centrist normie would be shocked. the ideological urbanite and (((rootless))) know the stakes and are intentionally playing to demographic ends.

Such knowledge is a legacy of my remnant post-leftism

But it's still crazy to think that out of all the people I talk to in my daily life, so many of them would be shocked if they found out. Many of these people I pass by every day wouldn't be smiling and saying hello if they knew who I am.

@Jacob are you sure? Most people aren't really that political or care that much

I agree with you on that, but there's still people who would freak out

Just say you're not racist, you just think everyone including white people should be treated with respect

It might not be a majority of the population, but it's sizeable

Most people will see you as the good guy

In a healthy society, normal people shouldn't HAVE to care about every political maneuver with a desperate, existential attention.

But, ya, I was surprised at how few people actually care

It is only a society on the edge of crisis that captures the attention of the everyman.

I'm kind of jealous of my retired dad for this reason, he doesn't pay attention to politics except insofar as it effects the stock market and taxes. He's got 6 acres and is retired in a nice quiet town, this stuff won't go seeking him out.

God, I wish I didn't have to care about politics

If I were to work where I grew up though I'd be facing a 60% paycut and a very long commute to work, so I feel a strong economic pull to be in the city

I've always been spergy, so perhaps even in brightest timeline, I always would have payed attention. But I would really perfer to live innawoods and not care.

But I am compelled to care, because things are serious.

The difference between us and someone that is apolitical, is the future won't sneak up on us and smack us in the face, it will them though.

We can at least *try* to do something about the future with our present knowledge.

They will simply be clueless until the world creeps up on them all of a sudden.

We are fighting for the unknowing normie white though. Never abandon them wholly.

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN That's something I thought about, too. I've accepted that I might never be happy with the state of society. Maybe my real motivation to do this is my fear for what future generations will have to go through.

I've always liked history and I get to live through an interesting albeit disturbing part of it

History is fun to read but not necessarily to experience

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN I'm not saying abandon them at all, I'm saying they are just flying through life clueless...until all of a sudden nothing they knew exists anymore.

One proceeds as ever until an obstacle is encountered.

@TylerHess Ya, honestly, if I could choose to live in a different moment in history I wouldn't
