many of my tweets are deliberately false statements intended to tweak ppl into getting mad enough to develop a rebuttal
yes, i am a practitioner of the dark socratic method
blackpill on that method is that usually ppl just get mad and dont come up with any interesting responses
whitepill is thats fun too
xanatos socraticism
more seriously you dont have to believe things that you think and as long as your good at maintaining your distance from your speculations there can be a lot of value in _just saying stuff_ to see how it sounds outside your head, and in letting ppl interact with those thoughts
for example the first two tweets in this thread were a fun self-framing i was just trying out. i think theyre maybe 20% true overall, and mildly funny, but by writing them out and skimming replies i was able to iterate to the third tweet, which i think i endorse >90%

realistically there's no way to stop people from tacitly or explicitly allocating taxes and benefits on the basis of race and large portions of the country have interests in this happening or ideological commitments to doing so
the norms to which new immigrants are assimilating and young natives inculcated are immensely ethnically charged without any public and common ideal of transcending race for an american identity, an identity which frankly doesnt even exist anymore
the rheinweisenlager were a bunch of concentration camps in the original sense where surrendered wehrmacht soldiers were held for several months in 1945
the camps were run by the US, apparently, and that's important
my only yarvin story is that we met in a temporary teahouse and he spent an hour watching my kid while moon and i took a break, and he sent us off with advice on early reading for her
it's a small thing but it was a welcome kindness for us, bare acquaintances
no one except lord myles has "adventures" when they travel
you are staying at a hotel, paying large sums of money to have a far worse experience than you could have in your own home and a far softer experience than you could have by spending a weekend in jail
"i love to Travel" why have you failed to establish your home as a place of serenity and joy, to the extent that you feel psychically uncomfortable there and strive to get away from your life whenever you can, viewing it as the highest good?
you are not well
"i Travel" you can go wherever you like in the world but you will never escape yourself
