Allow me to share with some newbie anons here a quick rundown on the Blackpill:
1. Family, friends, and girls will judge you mainly on your FUNCTIONAL value. As a man, your functional value is expressed by your possession of symbolic assets such as fiat currency, luxury items, etc. Basically, as a man you are judged by your success and status.
2. However, if you have a strong physique, then your strong body is in itself an expression of your value and your masculinity.
3. An obvious requirement to attain #2 above is that you need enough food and time to build your strength through exercise.
4. Going back to point #1 above, if you are a wagecuck then you are judged by your boss and your co-workers based on your functional value as well. They will judge you on your performance, on your output as an employee. This is most scrutinized for men. Wimmenz can get away with wasting time gossiping at work, and so can the token minorities, but most of you I assume are neither of those. So if you work, you are expected to work the hardest. This is also true if you are the only son of the family. Your own parents gave birth to you so that you can be a fucking workhorse, make a high income and provide for them in their old age because most likely they are dumbfucks who failed to achieve high success, but expect you to be successful.
5. Seeing and accepting points 1-4 above, you must understand that from birth, the entire world is against you. Your own country's gov't wants to tax you. Your own family stresses you out. Your own friendships may deteriorate due to financial issues, like a friend who pushes you to make money with him on a project, and you aren't interested.
So what is the Blackpill? It is simply living FOR YOURSELF and making the most out of life FOR YOURSELF.
These are generalizations, but of course if you are lucky you may have family, friends and gfs who care about you and love you simply because you are you, and not because of your functional value.
