I have always found Kyle entertaining but damn, he has been killing it this last week.

The news only reports on what sells and all communication channels are being flooded with misinformation. The left and the right live in completely different universes. There are no longer any common truths.

Unfortunately, nobody realizes how corrupt the system is. People don't know where to find good sources of information.

@Peter Zemskov Do you live in the US or Europe? I don't know a whole lot about the political structures of most European countries but I do know that fascism is on the rise everywhere. I'm currently reading a book called "How Fascism Works" that was recommended to me by one of my activist friends. I'd highly recommend it. Also check out Hiding in Plain Sight and They Knew by Sarah Kendzior. There is corruption on both sides which is a big part of the problem that we see. The dems don't want to be too loud because they don't want to be found out. They are all guilty. Sarah refers to the US as a multi-national crime syndicate and sometimes as a mafia state. I think those are very accurate terms for what we are dealing with here. Trump's history is extremely corrupt. Once you trace his connections to Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Jeffrey Epstein, the Russian mob, and beyond it makes more sense. These are some extremely fucked up people.Rapists, pedophiles, mobsters, money launderers, etc. We're talking blackmail, threats, payoffs and more. Just dig into the people who lived in Trump Tower. As for the political system being inert, I just think that's a symptom of people being so fucking divided on every fucking issue. We need checks and balances, but for fuck's sake there has to be some common ground. That'll never happen until we root out corruption. <--- I think this is something we can use to unite the people. What I learned from all of this is that democracy is extremely fragile. People just don't know that. It's something that we have to fight for to maintain.

Putin does have some narcissistic traits. Shirtless photos are one example. But, everyone has mixed motives. He clearly needs to maintain a certain appearance in the public eye, lacks empathy, has a sense of entitlement. He's also super paranoid because he fucks people over all the time and knows people want him dead. He's also driven by existential fears. He wants to be remembered as someone who made Russia great again. Lol. Meaning is at the core of ego, and it is very apparent in Putin. Like everyone else, he's a complex, multi-faceted dude. Unlike most people though, he doesn't value human life. I think it's hard to diagnose someone in power as a narcissist because the job requires traits that we would consider narcissistic. Trump is easy to diagnose simply because of his excessive need for admiration. I don't see that quality as strongly as with Putin. There is, however, something called "hubris syndrome" which is a disorder that one develops when they take on a position of power. It's an interesting one, take a look. Regardless, I'm not a fan of labels because we tend to assign them to a cluster of symptoms. These symptoms can overlap and have many different causes. Labels often don't point to anything that's actually real.

I am not an expert on China, but I know enough about them and am impressed by how they built themselves up to the nation they are now. I know they have their own problems, corruption, racism, etc. If we weren't so corrupt in the US, we should take note on how China does things to build our country back up. I agree. Sadly, I think what's happening now is necessary. I just hope that I'll get to see some change in my lifetime. It is very difficult to uproot a authoritarianism once it's taken hold.

220 is a LOT for a first timer.

This was a fear mongering campaign that distracted people from real issues. Stop taking the bait.

In the US, that's what the constitution was supposed to do. However, democracy is fragile, and corruption is rampant and sneaky. You already named a few factors that made Trump's election possible, but I think the biggest problems we need to address and weed out corruption is: Forbid corporate money in politics Donor transparency in elections (foreign influence) Poorly educated citizens Disinformation and fear mongering Voter suppression Lack of term limits in congress and the judiciary system Lack of background checks and ongoing monitoring of public servants Insider trading Tolerance for racism and sexism No separation of church and state In the US what we need is to revise the constitution and weed out corruption. We can't do a damn thing until this happens. Trump is not the problem. It's the system. This was a well-planned and executed strategy that's played out for many years. Russia played a huge role in Trump's win in both his first and second terms. We are talking about a multi-national conspiracy that was investigated but no-one was held accountable. How in the fuck do we fix that? We knew it happened, but nothing came of it. Then we had the Jan 6 coup attempt. Nada. No accountability, once again.

I'm tired. I'll look into it tomororw

I've been thinking about this for a while now. I believe in democratic processes and values. DEMOCRACY IS GREAT! As long as people are somewhat aligned in values. You can't have 50% of the people believing one thing and the other 50% disagreeing. That's not going to result in anything but conflict and chaos. We need to stop thinking of things in terms of democrats, republicans, capitalism, socialism, etc. We need to start thinking about how we keep corruption out of politics. PERIOD. Start there, root it out, and find a way to keep it the fuck out. If corruption is in place, political affiliation or ideology means nothing. Once we can get corruption out of the white house we can start to think about how to address important issues that help the majority of the american people.

Democracy sounds good on paper until the person elected does not share the same values as you do. The problem is, that people have certain values because of indoctrination and lack of life experience. I theorize that democracy will only work under certain conditions: Educated voters, honest politics, and a commitment to equality. Stupid people are incapable of holding a democracy together.

It's not about being skewed toward authoritarianism. It's about wanting someone in charge that shares the same views as they do and fuck everyone else. But, it's also fear mongering, disinformation, etc. People are being manipulated into believing that the person they are electing actually cares for them, and will follow through with promises. Nope, see above comment.

That's unfortunate Every fact revealed in Hiding in Plan Sight and in They Knew. Vague, I know, I just don't have time to respond. Red flag. LMs are cool, but we do know that some, if not all, LLMs are have biases built into them. Some moreso than other. My prediction is that LLMs, if not already, will be part of the propaganda machine. Ever wondering why Elon wants to own GhatGPT?

You're just trying to win an argument without actually acknowledging the difference between what I'm saying and you're saying. If the OP knew about O2, chlorine, and UV sensitivity then you and I would be saying the same thing. But, we both know that ain't the truth.

@Leo Gura No, you said they don't expire. What I'm saying is that they lose potency when exposed to O2, Chlorine, and UV light.

Use bottled water. Chlorine is not good for LSD. Google it. I know of microdosers that do the thing you are talking about. Dissolve the crystal on the blotter in the bottle, then pour in ice cube trays and freeze for equal doses. Just keep away from roommates.

Wrong, LSD-25 is not a stable molecule. It is especially sensitive to UV light and O2. Blotters are known to maintain potency the longest (more so than liquid). Buy blotter, store in a dark mylar bag, and put a deoxidizer in the same bag as the LSD. it will last for years. If you have liquid, make sure it gets zero exposure to chlorine. Even small amounts can affect it. Also, make sure the seal is tight. The last thing you want is for the alcohol to evaporate and for your dose to be more potent than you expected. This does happen. I just did some LSD that was stored in a mylar bag for three years, I could not tell a loss in potency.

Don't go over 100ug for your first trip. It'll be plenty. Once you get bored, go up to 150, then 200, etc. I have been doing LSD for a long time, 250ug my ideal dose. 300ug can get hairy for me sometimes.

@LordFall I've asked this question myself, who should I trust on this matter? It's clear to me that there a few different threads. I will also say who my trusted sources are: 1. Project 2025 - I don't have a single source, but have read some of the highlights of the plan and it is clear that this is taking place as we speak. 2. A fascist regime change - Sarah Kendzior, Heather Cox Richardson, Timothy Snyder, Ruth Ben-Ghiat: Journalists and historians who specialize in authoritarian regimes. 3. Trump's special relationship with Russia - Sarah Kendzior 4. The Network state - The gaslit nation podcast , the architect of the network state Balaji Srinivasan, and other sources. They are not even trying to hide this shit. It is not a secret, even that being the intention of a Greenland takeover. As for your source, he/she remains anonymous. ALTHOUGH, i have no idea what their credentials are but I have read at least 8-110 of their articles. He has similar predictions to mine, but it is Apr 20 already, and Trump has not declared martial law yet. I have to take what this guy says with a grain of salt. I trust sources who make accurate predictions about this shit. SK for one has been writing and warning about a fascist takeover for years. I find her very trustworthy.

I was just to create a post of this. First, I started pickup in 2009. I trained mostly with the RSD and some of his assistants. The best style of game is the one that allows your personality to shine and to act authentically, all while attracting and connecting with a woman. I am very introverted I started with a very try-hard style of game which was very successful at the one year mark. There are certain concepts that hold true for attraction. I gradually started removing parts of my game just as an experiement to see what was important and what wasn't. Keep in mind, it's all situational, there are sooooo many variables. First, I practice with the RSD crew for two years back in the day. 1. Sit and stand tall. Posture conveys a lot about you. Do not slump. 2. Eye contact. Don't be looking like you're afraid of her 3. Speak loudly and definitively. 4. Don't be creepy, don't be needy. Make sure she has what you want, don't try to be what you think she wants. 5. If you like her, tell her. Do not hide your attraction from her. 6. If you want to kiss her, don't ask, just do it. This will spike attraction, even if she pulls back. Stay calm. You can try again once she warms up. 7. Don't try to hard. Don't try to be funny. Be calm. With each approach or date push yourself a little more out of your comfort zone. 8. Don't try to bond with her too early. The age-old advice to attract, connect, and seduce is a solid strategy (enough). 9. Act out of how you feel and speak what's on your mind. Don't lie to hear about your thoughts, feelings, and actions by telling her what you think she has to feel. All of this is klunky at first. But over time girls will not be able to keep their hands off of you. I could go on and on, expanding on each point, but this should be enough to get you results asap. Lastly, this assumes you are on a one-on-one date. Meeting people in a social setting is a bit of a different beast, but once you have her alone, all of the above applies.

Interesting read. I've been voicing these fears for a while. But, who the fuck is this anonymous blogger? Sources matter, read and post trustworthy articles.

I used to be an RSD fanboy in the 2010. He has not changed at all. That said, they have a stick style of game and if one wants to get laid they are very effective. But as you mature, you realize that manipulating women is not a meaningful way to live. Some day you will die. Is that what you want on your tombstone: "He spent is whole life trying to get women to like him" There are ways to scale back the unethical, manipulative tactics. But you have to ask yourself, do you want to spend all of your free time for the next 1-2 years just to learn to get better with women? For guys that suck with women, this is a long and tedious journey. And these are skills that require maintenance. If you don't keep practicing you lose these skills very quickly and make the same mistakes you did when you started (but you correct yourself more quickly).

I should probably add that there are situations where understanding attraction is very important. There are exceptions, but a woman decides if she is interested in the first few minutes of seeing you interact her as well as with and other people. If you are in a room with one woman and 10 dudes, you need to stand out. And you're going to need to run some game. Women are attracted based on biological factors: Is he strong, is he funny, is he assertive, how does he interact with other people. She's screening for someone with a strong chance of survival. These are all indicators. Women also like love and fun just like the rest of us do. That factors in, but attraction comes first in the early stages and most of the time you have a brief window before she makes a decision. But, like with all things, there are exceptions. Online dating is one example where your shit needs to be on point. Girls get messages and likes from 100s of dudes. Your profile text, pics, and messages have to be well above average. There are also very entitled women who just want to be entertained all the time. I stay away from them as they are too young to really know themselves and I just have no interest in them.
