You would think, but they can be quite petty like this. They have targeted journalists before. I’m not saying it’s certain or anything. But it’s entirely believable.

thoughts? It’s all over the news , he had a judge arrested. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/04/25/politics/fbi-director-wisconsin-judge-arrested

They will try, he literally incited a riot and tried to overthrow the results of 2020, his own former VP hates him, Trump told him not to certify the election. And Republican congress rolled over. Of course he will try to do this again. The entire party is vying to take over as a dictatorship. The public is so delusional and apathetic they have no way to understand how serious that is for US democracy.

It’s hard for me to buy anything he says entirely. I’m sure he’s doing well but I don’t trust him or everything he says. Most people who have actually created a business that is not snake oil usually have more transparency to them, you can see the fruits of their labor. With his stuff, he yaps a lot, but I don’t see anything behind it. I’m not saying he’s an entire fraud or purely peddling BS but companies with actual liquidity and value appear much more transparent, you can see what they do, what they sell, what’s going on. Maybe his grift is scamming start up guys who have a trust fund or cash to blow on some business selling junk like drop shipping. There is an entire layer of the manosphere which earns its money just scamming each other and offering each other courses and mentorship. Maybe that’s how he earns his cash. He definitely isn’t some Wall Street insider or tapped into any real industry. He’s marketing on YouTube, that’s always a sign that his clients and income come from the same place more or less. People running legitimate businesses in various industries aren’t watching Alex videos, they are out in the field pioneering. Alex’s market and clientele is sort of a collective ponzi scheme where they rip off people trying to get rich quick or do some outsider thing like drop shipping. I think I heard Owen even mention him because they market to the same group of men. The product is the people they market to, nothing else.

I remember seeing him take off in 2023 and wondering what his claim to fame was The thing is a lot of these guys are great at marketing and never really built a business aside from this, just got eyes on them and built a course I’m still wary of how true everything he posts is. I looked into his past and it’s unclear actually how successful and sustainable his prior gym business was. He’s a handsome guy and has a good look for an influencer and is great at marketing and public speaking, selling a dream. But I always am wary of the actual sustainability and truth behind the businesses these guys create. It’s hard to tell what income of his is actually from long term customers vs courses he sells based on a snake eating its own tail. His YouTube provides pretty basic business and marketing 101 so he does provide some good information, other than that I have no idea what else he has to offer, maybe he has built bank and can invest in legitimate companies now, but generally speaking start ups are not legitimate so it’s hard to actually know if he’s just riding a wave based off his social media marketing or if he actually knows how to build businesses in other spheres.

I think wording is really important here. It’s valid to acknowledge European ethnic groups have flourished but tell the full story. Tell how many of them achieved survival by enslaving and killing ethnic groups with different skin colors. That has echoed out over time.

I read what Leo said and agree with him, this should be a forum for people to express their beliefs clearly, we will help him deconstruct them, that’s an authentic ways towards truth. At the same time this place isn’t a kindergarten. There’s a level of development required to participate in discussions here or else myself and many people wouldn’t bother coming here. There has to be a line. It’s like if Leo pushed this site out to MAGA and got overrun by bad faith discussions with defensive MAGAs defending their pov. We can’t help everyone. There’s a level of development expected from this community before participating.

I do agree to some degree. With two points. 1) it’s in a western society and 2) the woman is reasonably attractive. In a developed western society you have to go through far more work as a man than an attractive woman. It’s challenging to compare the two but generally speaking men do have to work more and sacrifice way more of themselves to live the life they want, while attractive women just have to look pretty and then ride along with whatever a man is doing. I think roping everyone into two groups isn’t helpful. It’s more so attractive women than all women in general, also depends on your location.

Depends how you look at it. There’s so much ego caught up in dating. A lot of people project their own insecurities so you get a lot of jealous people who see someone else winning and they get angry and call them desperate for their strategy. Is it desperate to move for a job? What about for education? Most places in most countries are awful places to date and if you value beautiful women you will likely have to move. Call that desperate, I call it going after what you value.

Love this dude. Really good stuff. Contemplating like this is some of the best stuff you can do for your mental health and mind. Here’s a few more - I’ve always been able to cope and survive, the evidence is me being able to write this now. - No matter what I’ll always find a way, I always have. - Neither my achievements nor my shortcomings determine my value (it’s intrinsic). - I am valuable, lovable, whole and innately good enough to exist as I am no matter what the situation is and build a beautiful life for myself no matter what.

she’s 33 years old with frozen eggs. everything you need to know about her right there. she sounds insufferable. god speed to the man that settles with her.

Yes This is what I’m trying to do now as well Trying to figure out the balance between following passion/purpose with pragmatic aspects of life such as bills and relationships. I will continue to look for ways to improve my income and pursue my dreams / intentions.

I think most citizens will have to feel the effects of far right policy before they take any action. People in general are just too stupid and voting off the vibes. They need to feel the economic hardships from a dystopian free market before they act.

They are cutting intellectual people and workers necessary to keep the government functioning well or in other words people who would make it difficult to take over the government or people who would get in the way of corruption.

Saw this… wow

Yeah they are annoying. Saw a bunch of them backpacking Brasil, they were worse than the Americans.

I really like what Leo wrote here. I’ve been visiting my parents who I would say relative to me in my opinion are emotionally dysfunctional people. They are decent people but they are very controlling and on the carousel of despair, disconnected from the Tao. I’ve seen them as unsupportive and treating me poorly at times. I realized I’ve grown a bunch considering my dad doesn’t bother me so much anymore. I realized I’ve grown a ton by being able to accept them for who they are. And I’ve realized this is probably the best way things could of ever unfolded, because if my parents weren’t so harsh, I wouldn’t have started to take my life more seriously and look out for myself, set my life up in a way where I don’t need to rely on them for help. I know I’m valuable no matter what and just because my parents didn’t love or support me enough that doesn’t mean I’m not good enough and it doesn’t mean their approval or support makes me complete. They can be who they are and even if they are rude sometimes it doesn’t make me less valuable. Stay connected to the Tao. It will guide you through these challenging relationships.

Yeah… this is the thing where I believe the USA has now become a dictatorship. They are testing the waters on disappearing people. Ignore the courts, try it on a vulnerable person first who isn’t a citizen but has been granted something by a judge. Ignore courts saying what they are doing is illegal, shift responsibility. Continue and eventually try it on a dual citizen, maybe a convicted criminal or someone who did commit a crime. Maybe they try this next with a El Salvador / USA citizen. The thing is I wonder when they try to make the jump over to just a USA citizen or someone not even associated with South America. That would probably have some sort of false flag event or something to justify it but since it was happening for a while and now there is justification it will be waved away.

Is it true the will try to use martial law or something similar? They are now ignoring orders from the Supreme Court. I figure this will be a slow boil like the frog in the pot. They don’t need to rush it. Come the next election they will have dismantled so much.

This person always seems to have some controversy swirling around them. To me, not the sign of someone serious or mature to learn from.

First off, I think you deserve to pat yourself on the back. Going 8 months through something like this I'm sure has not been easy and you are literally facing what most people fear most, including me. And you are surviving every day and doing your best. Second, I pulled this quote because I think it's very powerful and a really important Taoist teaching. In life we face unexpected challenges, things may get very challenging at times and all our ideas about how life should unfold melt. I've experienced this before where this fantasy melts away and you are left with what is here in reality, what needs attention.

I agree with Leo, I would move to Berlin or a bigger city there. Small towns are very challenging to build leverage in or get enough exposure to meet a woman you want to be with. It’s possible but I would say not when starting out. Go to a big city and get experience.

Most people on this forum are tier 2. Tier 2 is easy to spot when you do self inquiry. Law of attraction. You start to recognize it and attract it into your life.

Inquire on why people do what they do. It will lead you to the answer to your question. From my experience when you live the way (Tao), you treat other people and life with more respect and dignity because you see it is a part of you, even if you see everyone has a different agenda and direction, you want to see everyone live up to their true potential even if they may be astray, and see harm only justified when it’s the only thing someone may understand.

I think they should be left in a gray area legally and left to psychologists and spiritual teachers to lead the way with. I don’t think they should be super illegal but definitely not sold freely by shops. Magic mushrooms and ayahuasca are legal in Brasil and it seems like they aren’t abused or used wrong here.
