We always see pseudo intellectuals shouting their thoughts about societal issues, especially humanities fags. So tell us yours. Don't bother putting in too much effort if you don't want to.
I have nothing to say other than the medias promotion of terms such as "alternative facts", "fake news", "populism" (inb4 that's a good term) is like the newspeak life cycle running quicker than ever.
Also open borders fags want to destroy the western culture that allows scientific and technological progress to take place but that's not a current events one
we should reject technology and globalization and revert to living in small comunes. I love having an iPad, but I hate that we had to use slaves to build it. It's not worth it.

Empathy is the downfall of society.
White people opening borders, taking on refugees, giving welfare to groups that bring down society... that's Whites committing genocide on themselves.
Meanwhile the Asians, Blacks and Arabs, who are opening racist and intolerant, are slowly assuming power.
Luis Moore
>Empathy is the downfall of society That's an absolutely retarded idea. African nomad tribes leave behind their old and sick members. Other cultures have been able to craft medicine, etc, following a path which results in the welfare and health of the whole group. The proemium for almost all of the culture created by the only civilization that has ever deserved such a name is, among many other things, a praise and appretiation of the enemy's virtues.
Easton Rogers
Most people live under the guise of truth. I am disgusted by how majority of people are blinded by "their" ideas and how they feel special for regurgitating such garbage. I am very happy people die, so all these stupid cunts that take everything for granted can at least realize how impermanent and absurd their lives were, even if it is only in their final moments. All this complacency is sickening.
Julian Sullivan
Only pseuds worry about politics. The more general, total are someone's thoughts about politics (holding an ideology and feeling pride of defining himself as a gooblegabblist, aspiring to diagnose every social problem by throwing some words from their ideological Vademecum) and the more they insist about it, the more probable is that a nigga ain't able to come up with an original or worthy idea in any context, and the less they will care about anything that falls out of their "field".
Ayden James
The better term would be empathy for the out-group.
Jonathan Myers
This is true. The only reason Jews are so powerful is because they have a strong in-group preference and a culture of nepotism. And it's gotten to the point where they can brainwash people into calling you an anti-Semite for pointing it out, while they're misled into attacking the "white male establishment". The only white males who are allowed to control anything are Jew-lovers and associates of Jews.
Kayden Young
To make this shitty thread a bit more Veeky Forums-related - what are the best books on rhetoric? Obviously other than Aristotle
Jordan Wood
Equally bullshit. Distinction between "us" and "them" can also take place in "us" being the sane men and "them" being the sick. Islam's fundation is war. Result, they're fucking savages who still killing each other. Parallelly, christian humanism led to capitalism and respect for individual freedom and family, in a perfect harmony between what an individual needs to feel fulfilled and contented and the interests of the group.

Watchmen has it right, a lot of things would be better if there was a common problem/enemy against people would (have to, and then want to) unite. Men are now leaning more and more towards the right because it offers an authentic community feel in this sense. Without a unity, shit will hit the fan, at which point women will lose their voice almost instantly. And of course, I'm projecting.
What's the difference in perspective?
I think some people underestimate the difference in life standard and don't see how equilibriating the resources would fuck with their lifes.
Sebastian Hughes
I believe the only way to move humanity toward any desirable goal is to purge/sterilize about 85% of the world's population to eliminate redundancies and dismantle the culture and institutions built by/around the masses. My beliefs on what principles should replace the old one are a confused mashup of fascism/traditionalism, primitivism, transhumanism, Marxism and who knows what else. Not sure if this is just me being an indecisive pseud/edgelord with some mood disorder or if I'm just too young to have enough experience/information/perspective to have a single useful thought, but it's frustrating.
Racial supremacists are, without fail, the very poorest specimens of their race. Which explains why there are so many on Veeky Forums.
/pol/ really is amazing. Their views on pornography especially. Some of them have actually combined the gospel of the church of NoFap, which claims that porn and masturbation makes you beta, with the notion that jews control pornography, thus blaming even the fact that they're beta on the jews.
It's fucking amazing.
Connor Long
It is when the definition of the group is abstruse (we and the impious) or arbitrary (we and the shiites). Seriously, shiites were always a really cohesive group and they've been fighting with sunnites for 1000 years.

Go into ANY /pol/ thread and you'll see multiple opposed viewpoints on literally every single issue.
Jacob Perez

Wyatt Harris
Go ahead and link us one (1) thread with actual, substantiated arguments for two differing viewpoints on a single issue, where the dissenting opinion isn't met with a thousand replies of "cuck", "CTR", "shill" or "JIDF".
Protip: you can't.
Michael Edwards
So you're just a triggered immigrant from reddit Yes I can. Shitposters are gonna shitpost, but the only replies that are ignored are obviously retarded ones (ie "Trump is Putin's puppet")
Go into literally any /pol/ thread, there is a huge variety of viewpoints there. And /pol/ is probably the only place where you can discuss politics with actual free speech. It's not a hugbox in the least.
Benjamin Anderson
It's not empathy as such just extending empathy to groups outside of our own group. It's not how we evolved and its not healthy, apart from if you're a women that is.

I think being occasionally spooked is perfectly healthy. Steiner was just overly spooked by spooks in general.
Cameron Parker
You really missed the point of Watchmen. Ozymandias' scheme only creates a temporary alliance and as soon as they realize the threat as fake it'll go right back to the level of tension before he went through with it. Dr Manhattan's "nothing ever ends line" explains this pretty well
Owen Myers
Free speech is a spook.

What really scares me about Trump is his highly combustible mix of new-dealism and neo-liberalism in the economy. Deregulating the big banks while artificially boosting GDP through stimulus while also not making the national debt a priority is a fucking powder keg.
Lincoln Bailey

Lincoln Allen
I'm ashamed to have called myself a trump supporter.
Not because what he's doing is wrong, but because it's moronic.
I support his defunding of planned parenthood and to be honest I don't give a shit about him letting or not letting refugees and mexicans into the country. We all thought it was empty rhetoric during the campaign but whatever.
What worries me is the incompetence of his administration since taking office and his complete disregard for the geopolitical implications of is actions.
My guess is that he wont last to the end of the year, but I know that whatever comes after this will be worse.

No, the point is that I didn't think he'd follow through with his meme tier policy proposals. All I wanted was a slightly more socially conservative house, not a trade war with mexico.

You're mad that Trump is actually doing what he said he is going to do, which is a GOOD thing for politicians. >Obama was the status quo, why would he have changed anything How old were you in 2008?

Mental illness and addiction are not medical problems. They're behavioral weaknesses and rehab and mental health facilities have unknowingly propagated an insane amount of misinformation from pseudueoscintific psychology has caused irreparable damage to society in the form of the DSM.
Bin Laden is the most influential political & military mind of the 21st century and influenced the alt right. Trump is the type of leader he would have wanted for other countries. As a military strategist he's managed to influence his ideology in corporate franchise mcdonalds like fashion around the world with boko haram being an example have a different ethno culuture branching out. Read some quotes of his [replace jew with globalist]: "I have already said that we are not hostile to the United States. We are against the system, which makes other nations slaves of the United States, or forces them to mortgage their political and economic freedom. This system is totally in control of the American Jews, whose first priority is Israel, not the United States. It is simply that the American people are themselves the slaves of the Jews and are forced to live according to the principles and laws laid by them. So, the punishment should reach Israel. In fact, it is Israel, which is giving a blood bath to innocent Muslims and the US is not uttering a single word." "So we tell the Americans as people, and we tell the mothers of soldiers and American mothers in general that if they value their lives and the lives of their children, to find a nationalistic government that will look after their interests and not the interests of the Jews. The continuation of tyranny will bring the fight to America, as Ramzi Yousef and others did. This is my message to the American people: to look for a serious government that looks out for their interests and does not attack others, their lands, or their honor. And my word to American journalists is not to ask why we did that but ask what their government has done that forced us to defend ourselves. It is our duty to lead people to the light." Also watch two analsis of him by General madog and Michael Scheuer.

Strong Nationalism is a temporary necesity for countries similar to keynesian economics, in that it creates benefits for a countries infrastructure, economy and people, but is unstable in long term use.
Elijah King
For a number of reasons, we're tarting to enter a post-human era in which the concept of humanity and nearly all that it entails will break down entirely.
Anyone who benefits from a system is equally justified in trying to protect it as anyone who is hurt by it is in trying to change it.
