thats my take on it

Tbh you summed it all up very well. Often times we choose to follow our own path instead of God's. And we do it without even thinking how wrong it actually is

Modern times have twistes our characters. No longer we strive to become the best we can. It's all been resuced to "how much can I profit and get away with it?"

modern man is the man of extremes

of lust, or of total deprivation. Of apathy, or of anger.

A country of dude bros and drug addicts and rednecks with tattoos and children by 3 wives

but also a good incubator to those whose faith is mechanical, to those who are angry, to those who have given up on trying to give anything to the world

in my opinon, love is often an act of patience, even if the other person does not initially understand it

while lots of people really are crazy and deranged these days

we must sometimes learn to swallow the bullet, and try to see past the grime of this day and age

and to be patient with people, like we should be patient with our friends, or our spouses, and so on

but when to fight, and when to be patient? For surely we cannot be in a constant state of either

for only weak willed liberals are forever patient, and only men on the edge are forever angry?

well, that is where I'd say we should ask God to guide us in our decisions

since people and situations are different, and will require different tools

Honestly. I've a problem with trads, even though I consider myself one, partially.

Curiously my priest told me something similar yesterday. Told me to have patience and see that people are not all bad. The most difficult to me personally, is to restrain my hatred towards the enemies. I see it in class every day. It's depressing how kids 6~8 years old brag about how many girlfriends/boyfriends they have, and how easily they cheat on them just because it's cool. Damn, I understand they don't do anything serious yet, but they will grow thinking this way. Their parents do nothing but laugh and repeat to themselves how it's just kids' play.

How so, Daniil?

That is... horrifying.

They behave like liberals a lot of the time. Getting triggered by any small thing instead of being patient about it.
Then they just wobble off to their own corner to cry and bitch about how everyone's a nazi.

lol true

I think some of it is an inherent temptation for any sort of subculture whose difference from mainstream includes a moral element

Honestly, if they had any patience to put up with the hitler memes and ni😂👌er comments, they'd find a lot of common ground with the fashies.

Webfoot, really, it's horrendous. With teens it's the same old "fuck everything that moves" kind of thought.

Daniil: Yeah, unfortunately deprogramming that sort of thing is literally painful

Had a neocon friend. Said unironically that jews are our friends

There's a difference between being trad and being a dogmatic dickweed

SPECIAL friends

If they're legit they don't talk about how Trad they are all the time smh

^ s'tru

Xd

If they wear suits

They're dickweeds

most of the time

lel

That's why you wear khakis, combat boots and army surplus shirts like a real G

word

Not even, just dressing like a grown man is respectable enough.

There's so many soyboys at my work that wear superhero t-shirts and sweatpants.

Sweatpants at work? For real?
