I had a very rough childhood, and all of my friends had the same. It’s easy to blame yourself for your misery when you don’t have any other outlets for the disgust you feel.

In high school, I had an eminem phase that started originally just because I liked the way he'd say words like f** and I connected with the anger

I feel like people in this movement are on average very intelligent but also quite prone to depression and social alienation

@TMatthews I agree. We are passionate.

Passion is seen as anger to those who aren’t also passionate!

I grew up in DC to a very political family. You would often hear people passionately discussing politics in a restaurant. I’m used to it. I crave it!

Depression, I dunno about that. We all control our mental state.

Social alienation, yes. Our views are well beyond "modern year" approved thought.

I'd imagine a high percentage of us are contrarians by nature.@TMatthews

I also crave it, but we need to take breaks from being political all the time. It's harder for us because we can't, for example, go see a movie with friends or a date without seeing subliminal propaganda, but still worthwhile to refresh mentally

@Tyler0317 to a certain degree, yes we do control our mental state. But it’s easy to get lost as a kid or teen when you have no community looking out for you.

@TMatthews I connected with heavy metal to vent anger in high school (and now tbh).

@TMatthews you’re right. It’s hard to escape the poz. I posted a pic above of the new ballet season at the university near me. It’s disgusting.

Having been pro-white before the alt-right was a thing, it's a little easier for me to put setbacks in perspective and see how far we've come. Even so, when I couldn't do any physical activity due to surgery, I had a lot of pent up frustration

Yeah, that poster is maddening and sickening.

The other day I went to the antique mall near me. It was such a white pill! I recommend it!

@Asatru Artist - MD I went to The Nutcracker last year and the lead girl was Asian!

I went to the beach and played in storm waves this past weekend with some IE members and other heathens to refresh. It was awesome!

That’s great!

I’m landlocked

I miss the water in DC

we went to Delaware (Bethany Beach)

Sounds amazing. Physical activity and being outdoors are good for the soul. Add in community building and it sounds even better

The waves were legit size...like 6-7ft at times and the undertoe was a little disturbing.

@TMatthews what’s Delaware like? I’ve never been.

Yeah, it was awesome. We swam in the ocean, then went back to the house and played table tennis, fusbal and cards.

@Asatru Artist - MD dm me if you're doing more stuff in Delaware

No sales tax!

Will do.

I understand the masculine, Indo-European need to challenge the storm, but nevertheless I feel obligated to dadpost that you should always wear your P.F.D. (Prevents F***ing Drowning)

Haha

I’m a crap swimmer

@Deleted User Most of Delaware is rural (highest % farmland in the country) and the beaches are nice. Wilmington dominates politics though. It's a ghetto for the most part.

Hey so random and off-topic but a while back I made what I believe is personally my greatest independent discovery of an artist in years; I've mentioned it to several people before but being the random plebs they are I doubt any took my recommendation to heart. Do you like bluegrass, country, folk, or simply wholesome/clean (to the point you'd let your toddlers listen to it!) music for the soul? Well look no further, because I found an indie maiden untainted by artificial (((Hollywood))) glamour or degeneracy.
I thought at least a few of y'all would really enjoy her work. I cant help but try and find at least one person that'll appreciate the music.

Presenting Mean Mary!

Hope you enjoy, have a good weekend folks.

we just flopped around like seals. 😃

Excuse the wall of text too 🤯

@TMatthews that sounds like a mixed bag

@Mikolas I just started listening to Bluegrass recently, I'll check this out.

@Mikolas Bluegrass is my fav! thanks for the share

@Mikolas that’s cool!

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN We all knew we were being a little derp out in that storm water. We just stayed close to shore.

I had some hippy dippy neighbors who would get together and play bluegrass on their porch. It was nice.
