  1. So you haven’t cold approached any women yet?
  2. He said he was burned out and was having health problems
  3. What is the block specifically and how is it bothering you?
  4. Try ifs therapy, mdma trauma release, and trauma sensitive mindfulness
  5. Not that simple, see this response from Chomsky
  6. Neither the WSJ article nor that article provide proof, it’s speculation. Secretary Blinken himself said the US has not seen any proof Iran was involved.
  7. A recent article came out from conservative scholar Robert Kagan argues we are headed towards a Trump dictatorship. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/11/30/trump-dictator-2024-election-robert-kagan/ The main reason I don’t buy it is I just don’t see how Trump can get the political capital to get enough support to pull off such a radical transformation of government. However a recent interview has worried me. Top middle eastern Faraz Gerges has said he’s never seen the Middle East population this angry at the USA. https://x.com/amanpour/status/1733533008085344387?s=20 The main reason is the US supporting Israel’s current bombing of Gaza, which so far has killed 17,700 Palestinians, and according to the IDF only 7,000 of those were actually Hamas militants (some say this is an overcount as well). But this isn’t the only reason, many in the Middle East have a supreme dislike of the USA for supporting war in Yemen, toppling Libya, the Iraq war, the Afghanistan war, large sanctions and retracting the nuclear deal with Iran, Obama’s drone campaign among other things which have produced an extremely large body count. the Middle East currently has a major extremism problem as extremism has spread throughout and has been festering due to being pushed down by dictators (many US backed) after failing to topple them during the Arab spring. This could result in extremists further targeting the US. That’s not to mention Russia or China. If a 9/11 like event was pulled off by extremists during a Trump presidency, we would have a very serious problem. When 9/11 happened it wasn’t used to transform America into a dictatorship, but it was used to start two wars and severely limit civil liberties with the patriot act, and was done with massive public support. What would Trump do if given such an opportunity and knowing the second he leaves office they will be trying to get him in prison? Keep in mind it could cause a much more dangerous chain reaction. For example a war with Iran which would need a serious commitment of US forces, and if China would use the distraction as a chance to take Taiwan.
  8. @Leo Gurathoughts on this? https://www.thenation.com/article/world/israel-gaza-war/
  9. There is no credible source of that, it’s just rumors. The WSJ article saying that had 0 evidence. It’s extremely unlikely it wouldn’t have leaked to Israel in some capacity (that Russia or Iran were involved) if it was being planned from that high up.
  10. “I don’t care if I don’t understand the thing I’m criticizing” ok bud. No popular redpill influencer is seriously even suggesting what you’re attributing to them. You’re just attacking a straw man. Tate saying that means little, he’s still leading people to it. Fresh and Fit are still on YT. Rollo Tomassi is as popular as ever. The whatever podcast is as popular as ever. It being popular, does in fact mean it’s dying. How something alters the gene pool can take a century to take effect, that’s really not a good argument.
  11. The redpill podcast clips go as viral as ever. The redpill books like the rational male are still selling. That’s not dying. Overall guys are doing worse with women, by your own logic that would cause redpill to grow. His description is lacking because he missed the most important and controversial tenants of it. Even if he’s right and it’s dying, the belief women primarily go for looks or status most definitely isn’t. The important factors are the wider societal trends that create the reaction of redpill in the first place, if those don’t change, and they aren’t, even if it dies it’ll just be replaced with something similar.
  12. Ego just means I, if there is a you, that’s ego, you thinking about your ego is your ego.
  13. It isn’t dying, your description isn’t accurate, and you totally missed the most important factors. This is an extremely lazy analysis.
  14. Those middle eastern countries are also becoming more egalitarian. For example Saudia Arabia was infamous for not letting women drive or vote but they can do both now. Polling data finds women on average want 2.5-3 kids, so it’s not people who don’t want kids not having it, it’s people who want kids never having them. Less people means less innovation. Imagine having 1/10th the movies you like for example.
  15. Israel has now killed more journalists than the rest of the world in all of 2022 https://www.reuters.com/graphics/ISRAEL-LEBANON/JOURNALIST/akveabxrzvr/index.html Twitter account of a Palestinian poet who Israel just killed in an airstrike https://twitter.com/itranslate123 https://lithub.com/poet-and-scholar-refaat-alareer-has-been-killed-by-an-israeli-airstrike/

  19. Older people are fitter because they are living longer, they will still have long periods where they are too old to work.
  20. It’s a problem because the government needs young people who work to tax to support its systems and older people who can’t work. The issue isn’t necessarily that it’s dropping its how fast it’s dropping. Too much immigration can cause violence and racism and what happens when the countries they pull people from also start declining in birth rates?
