Hardkill

He may have not be a revolutionist in the traditional sense but look at how much he and the 89th Congress back then got done. It was on the level of FDR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Society https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/89th_United_States_Congress

So, then how explain how and why the civil rights movements succeed with ending Jim Crow laws in the US and why the massive amounts of new beneficial social programs got passed during Lyndon B. Johnson's era?

I see your point. I get that all of the marketing for picking up women comes off as misogynistic, but I now feel bad for Owen after all of the hard work he did for all of his media content.

Bonnes nouvelles! French President Macron just won re-election in France, which of course is great for the country because he was able stave off a looming take over of the country from the French right wing authoritarianism. He also became the first French president in 20 years to ever win re-election. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/04/24/world/french-election-runoff-results

Yeah, he seemed cooler with his older style. Well, if not a revolution then why aren’t people desperate enough to make fundamental change like what the Square Deal, New Freedom, New Deal, Fair Deal, or Great Society programs did instead of just resenting the corruption of politicians?

He’s a genuine hero, but I think that it is time for him to surrender for the greater good of his country before it becomes a never ending war of attrition.

Okay, so then why do most people in 1st world countries complain about politicians not doing enough for them instead of joining a real revolution to upend the entire government and the entire political system?

He physically looks like he’s getting crazier every year. Though I do wish we had some kind of revolution. I’d like to think that most people these days want it to given how sick and tired most people in 1st world countries are getting sick and tired of status quo of government and politics overall.

Please tell me that you’re joking.

This worried me at first, but I really don’t think that he would dare to really make this into a very unmoderated platform because of how much of a legal liability that will become, especially after what happens with the January 6th capitol riot incident. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBeEjohoLiU&t=332s Also, it looks like Trump doesn’t even want to return to twitter anymore.

It was getting dangerously close at first. As a matter of fact, a lot of Macron supporters are not seeing this as a victory to celebrate because of how much closer Le Pen got this time compared to her previous attempts. Do you think that there will be a day when all of these right-wing echo-chambers will no longer be able to brainwash the great majority of people in all of the 1st world countries just like how religion has for over several decades continually declined in its power to indoctrinate toxic archaic religious ideologies in most 1st world individuals in the world?

In a lot ways that’s true. However, like you also said before the mainstream media greatly contributed to the fall of Trump because they did their due diligence of showing the whole country the profound level of devilry that Trump and all of his supporters did.

Ah, I see. So, they don’t have that much control over politicians because there are too many corporate donors and lobbyists that each of your typical politicians are funded by and each of these megadonors and megalobbyists don’t have the exact same agendas, goals, and desires as each other. Instead, a lot of times each of them actually try to outcompete or counter each other’s proposals for that same politician. Actually, now that this is making more sense to me, there have been some wealthy donors like Bezos, Buffett, and Soros who have clearly announced their support for higher corporate taxes. Even the American oligarch, Bloomberg, who undoubtedly has been one of the largest corporate donors for many big name politicians in the country, thought that the Trump tax cuts was a terrible mistake for the country and has urged Washington to raise the corporate taxes and taxes for the wealth back to what they were before. Also, come to think of it, regarding social policies that are neither economic or business related, probably most corporate lobbyist have either: a) never really cared about them as long as they don’t interfere with their economic or business agenda or b) perhaps genuinely support some amount of liberal policies, but with some kind of “corporate compromise.” But during both the Clinton and Obama eras, the Democrats had pushed for and successfully some significant tax increases on corporations and rich. That’s why we had a balanced budget in the 90s and Obamacare had the individual mandate tax. Also, Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, even Manchin, and almost every other Democrat in Congress have been earnestly constantly trying as hard as they can to increase the taxes on the rich and corporations to some significant degree.

We have a lot more racial and ethnic diversity compared to most countries around the world and certainly compared to all European countries. I thought that was why there is a lot more people who believe anti-immigration in many European nations than even those in the USA.

I kinda thought that, but you’re saying that corporations could then get away with influence politicians to pass other kinds disgusting laws to be passed like as repealing Obamacare, repealing civil rights, anti gay work laws, etc.? Also, how come most corporate Dems, especially everyone in democratic leadership for increasing taxes on the wealthy and corporations in as many ways possible? How much longer will the people be willing to put up with this kind of devilry?

If Sweden is much more evolved than America then why aren’t the Swedish as open to racial and ethnic diversity as Americans are?

My mom says that he is bipolar because of how impulsive, erratic, and manic he has always been all of his life in ways that she has seen in patients she has worked with who have been diagnosed with bipolar. Also, one of her best friends has always had bipolar. I guess he would have to get himself officially by a psychologist or psychiatrist to find out for sure.

All politicians throughout history have been known as being corrupt and manipulative to varying degrees. However, I believe that Trump has been one of if not very first political leader of any 1st first world country to be recognized widely by numerous mental health experts around the world as being a malignant narcissist or narcissistic psychopath. My mom is a retired mental health occupational therapist with a PhD for that specific field and worked with all kinds of in patients will various moderate to severe levels of psych disorders. She also knew a lot about him having been born, raised and lived in the heart of New York City for decades and even met him in a couple of times because how socially connected her ex husband was to people like him. She said that in her opinion, Trump has been the only US president in all of history who needs to be seriously institutionalized, medicated for bipolar or hypomania, and go through extremely intense psychotherapy. Of course she gets that he would never do any work on his mental health or soul at all because of his extreme ego, pride, and laziness.

Even though she won that many votes she was proud far right politician. Her party is literally far right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Rally Also she has had a widespread reputation of promoting extreme right wing policies.

Happy birthday, Leo!

I agree with that. Only the Fed Reserve and the sorting out of the global supply chain issues are the two real factors that can fix this entire inflation issue.

Damn...So then that means that I going to have to wait at least another 3-4 years before I can ever get the chance to have a decent paying job, move out of my parents' home, and find a place to live in a big city like LA to devote another 3-4 years to practice my skills with cold approaching and dating like you and Leo have. I don't even know if for sure if I will even be able to afford a place live near live a big city given the constantly rising rental and housing prices every year in America, particular in or near cities LA, Las Vegas, or Chicago. Fuck. I am not looking forward at all to becoming a single 38 to 42 year old man, which is when my good looks, youth, testosterone, stamina, agility, physical recovery, joint function, sperm fertility and health, etc. will begin to seriously decline. I am already lost a fair amount of hair on my head and I am getting very worried about that because my looks have been of the only few natural strengths I have. Also, by that age, my mind will be transitioning more seriously on considering having a family of my own before I risk getting too old to have healthy and functional children of my own. I really don't know whether it is worth pursuing a DPT degree for 3-4 years before I committed to hardcore cold approaching and online dating or not. I've tried it mindfulness before but I never been able to muster up the discipline to consistently practice it. It's been one of the most challenge things I've been struggling with for much of my life.

I know that some guys who are good with girls have been saying that if you are a guy that is in college then you got to go to as many frat parties as possible because those are the best places and times to meet the hottest and most popular girls in college. That would mean that a guy would have to join a fraternity it order to be to regularly be invited to these parties. However, what if a guy like me never wanted to be a part of a frat because of all of the stupid things you have do and the amount of extra time you have you sacrifice to commit to the organization? Would that mean that the guy's chances of ever getting laid with an attractive girl in college or university will be very unlikely unless he gets very lucky?

Well, then that being the case, then you think that I shouldn't be making any excuses for not cold approaching at least to some extent in the University that's near me?

I get that you still need to have the skill and confidence to pull hot girls in frat/sorority parties, but when I went to college at a big university I found it hard to meet a lot of attractive girls on campus without cold approaching, except at the few frat parties I went to. I wanted to go to more of these parties but I wasn't able to because I didn't join a frat and wasn't close friends with any frat guys. Perhaps, I shouldn't have said that joining was that stupid. Sorry. I just personally never liked the idea of joining one given what it involved like the hazing, the drinking games or tests, the negative reputation many fraternities have gotten, or what have you. Also, I wasn't able to manage my time well enough to be in a frat given how much I've always sucked with time management to begin with and how much classwork I had to do, how seriously committed I was to martial arts and fitness. You got me. I have generalized anxiety disorder, which is also sometimes called the "what if" worry syndrome. However, I've always had a such a hard time finding new girls to meet because of my anxieties and my social skills deficits. I've actually gotten so much better with my social anxiety as I've gotten better from learning and practicing how to manage it better and improving my social skill deficits after going through so much emotional heartache of constantly failing with many people and women through massive amount of time spent on online dating and years of trying to get good a cold and warm approach in as many kinds of venues, small towns, and medium sized cities as I could. The times when I did practice cold approach in a big city such a LA, where unfortunately rare opportunities for me. Additionally, after I graduated from that big university I never got the chance to live near a big city where I could always meet a lot of women without worrying about my rep as the village creeper or city weirdo. I do live very close to a university that is fairly large in its student population, but that's the only densely populated that conveniently near where I live and even then I'd still have to be mindful about how I may come off there. I obviously don't want to have a reputation there of being some creepy stranger who randomly hits on girls. Furthermore, I cannot afford to move to a big city like LA or even a place that's close enough to a city. I don't have enough money of my own, still living with my parents, and am currently focusing on trying to get into a DPT program (which will take years to complete. Even if I get into this DPT school and graduate from there, I will be in my late 30s to early 40s. I fear that by the time that happens, I may not have much youth left to devoted even more years into becoming truly successful with women.
