@shortstories @UncleIroh - Official history should always be looked at with a critical eye (and critical thinking), no doubt. Ancient narratives change... For example, Herodotus claims Persia had a million men at Thermopylae. And for epochs, that number was taken at face value.
Then in the mid-20th century, a historian did the math, based on Prussian military doctrine (a very meticulous people 😉), and found that such an army's marching column would stretch for hundreds of miles. 🤦🏻♂️
@UncleIroh @shortstories - Well, that logo business is news to me. 💁🏻♂️😅
But everything is a two way street. I've been watching the guy for years... just 'cause history is a favorite subject of mine.
I've been dropping collapse-pills and red-pills in the comments the entire time. And these were backed by solid logic too.
And over time, he's broadened his views to include a lot of it. And that reaches his audience.
That feels something like an honest & wholesome win to me. 😉🍻
@shortstories - I plan to rebuild society to whatever extent I can in the post-collapse, & I've been thinking for some time that the concept of public school should be done away with. So it was good to see someone with a differing perspective agree on that.
Is he tradcuck? Sure, a little bit. But right should be right, no matter who's looking at the problem. So yeah, that was good to see. Cheers. 😁🍻
@shortstories - Oh, that's just the first chapter of the video.
He winds up putting the blame for the failing school system at the feet of the female teacher cohort. So, it was nice to see someone from a different perspective (I'd put him in the Jordan Peterson camp), arrive at the same conclusions. It's sort of like a "sanity check".
There's a hazard of oversimplified thinking, that comes with discovering a fundamental truth like 'men build society & women destroy it.'
I think the most important aspect of successfully navigating collapse, is having an accurate view of things. The world is complex, and so should our thinking be. 🤔
To that end, I like to try to dismantle my own viewpoint of things, from time to time, just to be sure that my arguments are strong.
In that spirit, here's a video I found worth watching about the education system.

P.S. - I think this guy is only like 24yo... so I cut him some slack in many ways. 🫡🍻
@UncleIroh - Agreed! I gotta wait on 2023's W-2 though...
If I can pull it off, it will be by the skin of my teeth. Exciting times, no doubt. 😅🍻
@AscotMan @Tfmonkey @VooDooMedic @mrhorsetwat @UncleIroh - Theoretically, Trump could win without a few states.
But in reality? Well, we're at a point where anything can happen. And that's why I'm all stocked up. 💁🏻♂️ But I wouldn't be mad if collapse waited long enough for me to get some land in hand. 😅🍻
@DoubleD @Mongoliaboo @Pain66 - Sadly, examples are a continuing requirement.
The best anyone can do, is keep them to a minimum. But there's always gonna be someone saying "It'll be different this time".
It's correct to point out their error before they make it, as they're making it, and after the results of their error go to shit. Is it harsh? Sure, it's harsher than what's currently socially acceptable.
If there's any way to soften things, it's to focus on the error, rather than the man. 🤔🫡
@basedbagel - Yeah, I mean I understand it in an academic, intellectual sense... but I can't relate at all. It should come as no surprise that female nature would be alien to a man.
I don't call women cowardly or evil. They're just meant to be property. And treating them as autonomous individuals with sovereignty over themselves results in such absurdities.
So, property they shall be. 🫡🍻
@basedbagel - Re: OP & 'why can't girls just tell a guy to fuck off?'
I've pondered the same question, and here's what I got: Telling a guy "no" or "fuck off"... That requires her to take responsibility for her own decision. A woman is so allergic to responsibility, that she can't even take it when such a responsibility carries zero negative repercussions.
Guy walks up to woman: "Hey cutie, whaddya say?"
Woman: * calls cops because the responsibility of saying "go away" is too much for her. *
@Tfmonkey - Have a chill night, bro. 🍻
@ButtWorldsMan @Mike_Microwave - Well, that *is* pretty spicy! And here I thought I was extreme... damn, son.
😂😂
@marlathetourist - couldn't happen to a nicer guy. May he rot in hell. 😂🍻
@UncleIroh - I don't want to have to have long philosophical discussions on female nature and hypergamy, when more pressing concerns of survival are at stake. When the day comes, I don't want some dip shit that I happen to love as a brother, jeopardizing everything for the sake of some random-ass female. This ain't a movie, and it ain't a game.
I want the men in my circle to be aware, even if for the time being, they think I got a screw loose. Events will prove me right, if I am. 🍻
@UncleIroh - People know my views, and call me crazy (I am the 6%).
I know, I know... the first rule of fight club...
But the thing is, the world is changing in a hurry. And I want like minded people around me because men can accomplish more in groups. And being self-reliant doesn't mean mutual cooperation is off the table.
And as events unfold, I look less crazy to my friends & family with every passing day. I want a smooth transition, where a simple "told ya" look can suffice. 🫡🍻
@UncleIroh - Re:OP
See, this is why paganism is the way to go... There are many gods. So, the dirtbag commies can have their god of famine, and everyone else can have their own god.
The monotheists (yer Jews, yer christians, & yer muslims), insist on one god that everyone must acknowledge. But because dirtbags will always be in the majority, the accepted concept of god becomes that of a dirtbag god - a commie god.
I won't worship a dirtbag god, or a god of dirtbags. 💪
@dander - That's an image that... 🤔 Well, let's just say that I could have gone my whole life without seeing, and it would be a good life. 🧐
@shortstories - And under such conditions, I think it would be most practical to keep laws simple and to a minimum. And it would also be useful to bring power and authority to the lowest possible level - which I reckon would be the family level, with a man at the head of it.
So, all of my legal and societal suggestions and ideas, take this into account as much as I am able to.
I wouldn't be opposed to your idea. If I should find myself in such a society in the post-collapse, I would be good. 🍻
@shortstories - "Not purging them through violence"
Well, you're no fun. 😮💨😉
Maybe it's a difference of vision. Personally, I see collapse as inevitable & well under way. And with that, comes a complete absence of law, so we'll be having to create our own, if we're to have any.
Survival under such conditions, would keep most people very preoccupied, with very little time or patience for trivialities or social experiments. I mean no disrespect in this - it's just an observation of likelihoods.
@shortstories - I just remembered, I've overlooked prostitution. 🤔 It will always exist. Under my proposal though, it will be a profession for ownerless women. These would be girls who starting fucking before marriage, or ex-wives who have been expelled from their marriages for adultery.
They will likely have short careers, before becoming destitute and succumbing to whatever variety of STD they catch. But their downfall will not be entirely in vain, for they can be an example to others.
