I have to address the striver question because I kept mentioning it throughout the episode. “Everyone likes the guy who works hard, why are you so anti striver ?” Let me elaborate:
You are right: America was built by charismatic, industrious types that worked hard and knew what they wanted. However, that’s not what strivers do
Strivers are parasites ( in Saltburn Oliver often calls himself a vampire because his goal is to suck the essence out of the things) They hate and love people whose skin they want to wear (charismatic people with generational wealth ). Everyone
likes industrious charismatic people who want to make it with actual talent and don’t give a shit about what others think about them, that’s not what striver do. They are obsessed with status signifiers and fetishize markings of wealth without actually making anything of value just like our PmC class
Industrious people rise above the norm and conventions of their time ( Musk buying twitter and going against everything people in his class are supposed to hold dear), whereas strivers thrive in a highly controlled environment, they all buy into elite liberal ideology
Rhett Butler is an industrious type who simply doesn’t give a shit, Tom Ripley is a striver who desperately wants to fit in
Think of Hillary types, who went to all the right schools and made money by being in proximity and having access to wealthy people without ever producing anything of value themselves, grade grubber, teacher’s pet type, people who are mostly responsible for decadence and stagnation of society

True Detective is the best show ever made. It is perfect in every sense of the word. The show celebrates male friendship, exposes limitations of nihilistic worldview ( for all his grand declarations about meaninglessness of human existence, Rust is shaken to his core when confronted with extreme violations of conventional morality), it dares to give its protagonists a hopeful ending. Every scene is a masterpiece. The show has unique aura, you are fully immersed into Louisiana landscape while watching it. Nic Pizzolatto is a once in a lifetime genius
Also Matthew Mccounaughey is the best actor alive. Image
This song is perfect Image

It is true that your sexual value as a woman decreases the older you get, I am not delusional and will not argue against it; the problem is that men saying it are not doing so out of genuine concern for women or desire to build a better world where they get to lead and women get to be mothers, grandmothers, matriarchs: all the things that guarantee you dignity and purpose at an old age( as I said before, matriarchs in third world grow more powerful as they age ). No those men are driven by resentment. They are not against email jobs, they want those jobs for themselves, most of them are generally incompetent, lack leadership skills and wouldn’t be the types to die in a battle heroically in the past either. Women submit when they have someone worthy to submit to, politics of resentment are generally unattractive, I thought we were supposed to be better than leftists
It might sound corny but the refusal to see that both sexes are suffering is not going to lead anywhere good: left vilifies men and assumes that they have it easy due to some mythical magical male privilege, when the world is mostly indifferent to men, male friendships don’t save you from alienation, the usual avenues for proving themselves worthy for men are lost which makes them spiritually castrated in many ways.
Right vilifies women and assumes that women have it made, that all they want is to be girlbosses who get to jump from one dick to another when women, even the married ones lose power as they age, the world is pretty indifferent to unattractive and older women, career is not as fulfilling as your boomer parents told you it would be

There is no dignity in an old age for western women. In more traditional societies, women gain power as they age. You have an entire army of men doing your bidding if you are matriarch of large family, you get to boss around your daughters in law. People fear and respect you
Women in the west have power while they are young and beautiful. But even the ones who marry and have kids have to see their kids move away across the country. They barely see their grandchildren and kids only visit on important holidays.
This is not a trad post. After all, I chose western individualism Over this dynamic myself. But we probably should figure out a way to offer people more dignity at an old age. You don’t have to send your parents to a nursing home, it is good when grandparents bond with their

Right wingers need to stop telling young white men not to go to college. The most competent and industrious demographic needs to have access to elite institutions and college degree is one way to get there. If you are smarter than your peers academically- go to college
Your country needs you. You won’t improve things or create better society for future generations by retreating to a farm: that’s not how left infiltrated pretty much every elite institution
Of course the value of IVY league education will decline over time, the less accessible it becomes to white men but that is not your problem. You do not have to go to an IVY league school to succeed in life.
