You won't see too many conservative women with faded colored hair, pants that sit above the belly button, whose hobbies include \"traveling\" and spending too much money on anything. You won't find too many liberal dudes with thick calves who buzz their hair even though it's balding. Am I the only one who notices that lefty dudes grow out their thinning hair as if it's not thinning? \n\nAnyway, my point being is that there are obvious differences between someone who thinks more right or left. You can pick out a lefty from a mile away whereas someone on the right just looks like a normal person. One way that difference manifests is in the diet of the food aware individual. \n\nIn the past decade or so, there has been major disclosure (thanks to the internet and people like Alex Jones and Mike Adams) about Monsanto and their past, chemicals in the tap water like fluoride, hormones and antibiotics in the meat and overall eating in a much more clean and wholesome way. The organic movement stemming from the \"off-grid\" class of rightist libertarians is appealing to most people and why wouldn't it? That's how our ancestors did it for millennia, it's in our DNA. The left could even be on board with something like that and they were for a little but until they fucked it up.\n\nYou go to any whole foods (owned by the richest man in the world and lefty Jeff Bezos) and you'll find most of their products aren't even organic, they're not even anything! It's normal food that's in almost any grocery store but the price is hiked up so bad that it attracts the only kind of people who are willing to pay too much for something because they cannot bring themselves down to the level of the \"average person.\" Even just look at the people who work there, they look like they belong in a protest for the reproductive rights of trannys. \n\nAs I digress into a rant, what I was trying to say is that the organic movement, in large, has been hijacked by leftists and to fill that health conscious void, they turn to veganism. Even that health conscious void within themselves has been hijacked by their (dare I say?) TOXIC altruism! Ahhh Haa! Now we're getting to the crux of what makes a leftist a leftist; their desire to nag, lecture and tell people how to live because they tell themselves they're qualified to do so. \n\nThe vegan does not go vegan because it's better for their health or that it's a stable economic choice (quite the opposite), they do it to \"save the animals\" which gives them ammunition to henpeck people who ranch for a living or who are a local butcher. You know, the small business non-corporate types who have skill. PETA is a perfect example. They're constantly trying to attack, get people to do things and change words. Some of the issue include banning [Fourth of July fireworks for the dogs](https://www.peta.org/action/forget-fireworks/), [how humans being more capable that animals is \"bigotry\"](https://www.peta.org/action/how-bigotry-begins/) and how[ you're a bad person if you watch a live feed of a giraffe give birth](https://www.peta.org/action/livestreaming-april-giving-birth-isnt-helping-giraffes/). Of course PETA is all about veganism, they hate plants and they wish they were all dead. That's why the left is pushing for wooden utensils to replace plastic ones. I was kidding on that last one...\n\nNow take the libertarian food conscious person, they just want to support a small family farm who does things the right way and they dream of one day where they can move out into the mountains of Idaho, be sustainable, sell some of their stuff and be left alone.",

To me, that deserves a weary eye. Fortunately the crypto crowd is largely libertairian and always thinking of ways to skirt big brother and their nefarious agenda. \n\nLet me know your thoughts about the future of crypto and how is plays out in monetary control.",

Some of us get it sporadically from when unflattering memories surface. Some of us constantly live with guilt. Take the platoon leader who commanded his men into death. That guilt will always be on his mind for the rest of his life, at every moment. For some, guilt may come moments after emotions boil over and commandeer the individual to do something they would never have if they had a clear head, and that may happen many times per day.\n\nDoes doing bad things make us bad people? It may but there's a difference between a bad person with is recognized as having a pure heart in God's eyes and one with a stolen soul that is possessed by the devil, and that difference is guilt. \n\nTruly evil people do not feel guilt. Matter of fact, they get pleasure in doing evil things. Their goal is to destroy and bring down things that have been so masterfully built. If something is destroyed by someone who is not truly evil, they will feel bad for what they have done. \n\nEvil people will also try and make someone feel guilty in order to control them. So there must be a sense of individual empowerment when it comes to guilt. One must know if their own guilt is a product of their own wrongdoings and the guilt is has not been projected onto the individual.\n\nIf you carry with you a form a guilt or another that only you know the inner workings of, take that as a sign that you're not an evil person.",

Our parents knew the good life and wanted to give it to us but did not foresee the internet age and the massive expansion of communication that came the worlds' way. Therefore, no one was able to harness the power of the internet properly. Instead we used it for porn, picking up women and shopping, especially with the internet coming around just as adolescence came.\n\nMTV and its debaucherous broadcasts that targeted pre-teens and teens alike were the wind that drove the misuse of the internet. Shows like the ironically named \"The Real World\" showed kids that the only thing that matters is peer drama, a perfect setup for social media sites like Myspace and Facebook where youngsters would sit for hours on end trying to get the scoop of what their friends are up to, and them comment on it. \n\nIt's normal for a teen to be \"cool\" during their high school years but with the MTV driven internet of the millennial generation (which had copious amount of being spoiled), being \"cool\" was the only priority. Holding a job wasn't \"cool,\" joining the military wasn't \"cool,\" getting good grades wasn't \"cool\" unless it got one into college, and even then, the only goal there was to be \"cool.\" All that with reinforcement of our elders. \n\nFlash forward ten years when most of life was spent on pleasing worldly desires, (because that is what we were encouraged to know) we forget about our place here on earth. The concept of building something is largely foreign. We just want without going out and proving ourselves to get it, even though we had the resource of the internet in its infancy stages. Undoubtedly millennials have likely landed themselves in a little bit of trouble with the law which tarnishes the chances of a better opportunity once we realize what matters in life. \n\nKnowing that we had it all wrong the whole time and our elders knew no better than to encourage us to \"be ourselves\" (which means to indulge) can make one feel like their most important years were wasted. The only sympathy we get is from the very same people who put us into this mess in the first place. The ones in a position to for a helping hand have no wish to do so and who could blame them? This puts the millennial in a tough and very isolated spot with no one to turn to for help and guidance. We have to pick up the pieces ourselves once we accept we've been duped and dealt a bad hand. If we don't do that, we'll continue being the most depressed and destitute generation in American history. \n\nFortunately we are in a position to make it ourselves. To invent, to create, find new paths once we realize our problems so we can mitigate them. If you are one of those I describe in this post, realize it's useless to blame anyone because it's everyone's fault, including yours, your families and societies but it's all unwillingly. Just remember you still have a soul and an ability to create and build. Just forget about being \"cool\" in the process.",

At the same time in 2017, the number of those killed in Mexico was 13,751 and both of those staggering numbers were just in a span of six months! Today the number of people killed in Mexico is [estimated](https://www.thedailybeast.com/mexicos-game-of-bones) to be around 200,000 killed with another 30,000 missing. The killing of rival cartel members and authorities has spilled over to innocent civilians with some of the worst tortures humans have ever conducted. All of this is still going on despite the arrest and extradition of El Chapo into the United States, the leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel. \n\nEverything short of total war involving a regular military invasion from US forces (reminiscent of the war in Iraq) with on-the-ground- intelligence, counter insurgency (nation building), tanks, classifying cartel members as \"unlawful enemy combatants\" and everything else that goes along with asymmetrical warfare may very well stop the drug cartels but that will only last so long as the war. That's all assuming if US forces aren't corrupted into the cartel drug trade similar to what happened in Vietnam when our [soldiers were bringing back heroin](https://www.wearethemighty.com/news/how-drug-dealers-used-the-us-military-to-smuggle-heroin). \n\nThe second our forces pull out the cartels will start back up again as long as there's a demand for the drugs and there's money to be maid. The Zbigniew Brzezinski's of the world would love for this scenario to play out because it's be another endless war the we 'must' fight, especially that the battlefield is on our border.\n\nMany libertarian minded people call for the end to the war on drugs but I don't think that's the solution to solve drug violence because it does not stop demand and they would still be illegal!\n\nThe only viable alternative to total war with the cartels is to put the drug business into the hands of people who operate within the legal system, i.e. make all drugs legal! From there, at least we can deal with the demand of drugs which a cultural problem but as long as they're illegal the people in charge of their distribution will settle disputes outside of the legal system. \n\nIn a scenario where drugs are legal people will be allowed to openly advertise their product which will likely consist of it's purity and transparency of the production process. \n\nThe legalization of drugs may be good for the cartel slave farmers in South America as well. Suddenly there aren't so many middlemen with guns sucking money from their leathered dirty hands. Corporations will negotiate to buy their coca plantations making the farmers rich or they will expand into the production process, given that drugs are also legal in the farmers' respective country but why wouldn't it if drugs are legal in America where everyone has a thirsty nose and deep pockets? Another possibility is people in America will grow and produce the drugs themselves freely in controlled environments. \n\nI'm not crazy about drugs being legal, they destroy lives but the demand for them is already out of control with them being illegal. Even if overdose deaths go up marginally it'll more than compensate for the deaths associated with gang and cartel violence. \n\nIt's insane to approach the drug topic the same way we have been for almost a hundred years and all we got from it are overpopulated prisons, death on a mass scale and an invasion on our civil liberties. We need to legalize all drugs and it's up to us as individuals to see if we can handle it.",

Unassuming people who are just trying to live out their life as smoothly as possible may get hit with a mugging, an unexpected illness, an elaborate scam or a destructive temptation. It seems that the perpetrators of these crimes are the one who come out on top. The medical industry thrives off of people being sick, crooks walk away with your money and it seems our biology and neurology opens the door for earthly temptations. To someone who can resist those temptations and does not have the instinct of crookery, is it possible for good things to come their way? It's a tough question to answer but here goes some food for thought:\n\nFirst we have to establish what 'good' things are. To give a broad Western definition it is basic needs like water, shelter and food. Fulfilling relationships with friends, lovers and family. A little bit of luxury like vacations, quality items and lastly independence.\n\nFor the premise that something good can fall on someones lap out of the ether for doing good deeds (or at least not doing bad ones), one would have to believe in a divine intervention of some sort, whether it be karma, God or some other influence that's beyond the five senses. There is a pacification in that belief because one relies of something else to bring them good fortune.  But from there we come to a paradox. When one is pacified they are not likely to ruffle feathers. The word \"pacify\" itself means to be peaceful and non-confrontational and when being pacified, one is waiting for something good to come to them instead of making good things happen for yourself. From a logical perspective, pacification means passivity. When one is passive they are soft targets for criminals and sociopaths seeking to take advantage of the unsuspecting.\n\nAlso when one is passive, they will take what is handed to them instead of taking what they actually want but in doing so goes against the passive model of potentially seeing another human being as an obstacle or means to get what they want, i.e. a sociopath. Perhaps that's why [nice people do worse financially](https://www.forbes.com/sites/alicegwalton/2018/10/11/do-nice-people-fare-worse-financially/#4feb466b3ecc).\n\nIn the college and school systems, we are taught that it's all about 'who you know' and networking. From there we get our business culture dominated by people who see other people at tools in order to accomplish their desires. That makes people think of themselves as tools in order to be attractive to people with money that want to use them. There is nothing wrong with thinking of yourself as a builder with a purpose but the question must be asked what are you building for? Is it for building a reputation and academic credentials in order to get the high paying job? Is it for having all the boxes checked on the application of your dream lover? Are you building yourself up for the approval of some other entity or other person? If the answer is yes then you must asking yourself what are you building and who are you building for. Is it for yourself or someone else?\n\nTo answer the question that was asked in the headline of this post, I will have give a general no. Sure, there are cases when good things happen to passive people but that is not a formula for success. And yes, it is true that sociopathy can bring you success in the eyes of other people. They may even do good deeds to give the perception of a wholesome and kind hearted person but the true driver of the sociopath is not success because there is not limit to where the sociopath says 'I have achieved success.' They get off on getting one over on others. My determination on this subject is vague and my recommendation is to not be passive but to also not be a sociopath. You will have to find the art in that.",

All this in secret of the parents.\n\nThat's right. A British teacher who [blew the whistle to Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6401593/Whistleblower-teacher-makes-shocking-claim-autistic.html) tells the horrific story of how this gender issue has become a despotic mutilation of the children's minds and bodies.\n\nThough this story is unbelievably horrifying and has the capability to arouse enough anger to take your child out of public school and to give them their education at home, there are some highlights I do find amusing only because it is so telling of the mentality of the average leftist SJW NPC with a spot-on physical description of them. Here's an exert from the Daily Mail article:\n\nShe says transgender pupils tend to convert in ‘clusters’ of two or three around the age of 14 and in a very uniform manner: wearing their hair in a quiff and dyeing it blue, black or blond, and starting to wear large round glasses, Dr Martens boots, donkey jackets and tight trousers.\n\nWhat was described was literally every leftist SJW, that's a reason why they have been branded as Non-Playable Characters (NPC's). But that's about the only amusing part, especially when you have the attitude of what happens to everybody happens to myself. Another disturbing aspect of how the teachers are able to convince the mentally ill child students to alter their biological development is that they tell the children that they can be like their favorite transgender Youtube star if they undergo surgery, and yes, some of the young kids are getting their gender reassignment surgeries before they're old enough to make logical decisions, i.e. adulthood.\n\nPupils who say they were born the wrong sex mimic transgender YouTube stars Carol (the whistle-blowing teacher) believes are partly to blame for convincing vulnerable children they have gender dysphoria.\n\nThis point regarding Youtube comes back to not having strong male or female influences and a lack of parental guidance, especially when the parents leave all of their child's upbringing to public schools ant technology. To some extent, today's parenting has been anything but. Common thought is all about how to make parenting easier and less inconvenient. Parents them hand over the annoyances (the nuances) of parenting to someone or something else. And here comes the state fully ready to change their gender.\n\nMake no mistake, this is not some fringe isolated incident. There is an effort by the government and corporate establishment to fuck the children up as much as possible. We have already mentioned how Youtube does it by promoting some channels and [censoring](https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/4372177/youtube-accused-of-censorship-over-controversial-new-bid-to-limit-access-to-videos/) others, especially those of who that shed light on this establishment criminality because Youtube, themselves, are a part of it.\n\nCarol also talks about how teachers are scared to death about not offending students who identify with a gender they are not, which changes from day to day. Teachers who are trying to teach the simple biological fact that women get periods may get fired because it's daunting news to a boy student who identifies as a girl student. That fear has been manufactured by the pedophile criminals that are embedded in various areas of our institutions through political correctness so they can get away with sexually confusing children through the fear of being labeled as hateful. That political correctness has allowed low level pedophiles (as opposed to high level ones like Jimmy Savile) who worm their way into schools posing as teachers to \"trick\" and \"groom\" children into sexual confusion and in this case, mentally ill and autistic children. It is well known that pedophiles go to where the kids are.\n\nAt some point the evidence is too overwhelming for these criminal anti-human, pedophile loving progressive leftists who pose as liberals not to be acknowledged as abetting this kind of criminality that this world has never seen and offensive and threatening measures must be taken. What those are exactly? I don't know but I do know the actions will be of the awakened individual and not of the group.",

Hitler ([who was a socialist](https://www.forbes.com/sites/billflax/2011/09/01/obama-hitler-and-exploding-the-biggest-lie-in-history/#56edb50c47a6)) and the Nazis were famous for their twisting of words. Jewish genocide would be redefined to “liquidation” or “taken care of.” When the Jews were being sent to the concentration camp, that simply meant “resettlement.” In Mao’s communist China, the “Great Leap forward” would mean starving to death 30 million people. Those 30 million were largely peasant farmers who lived in rural areas. The communist government could not maintain the control they desired in rural areas as they do in the major cities so why not just starve them to death and call it progress?\n\nToday leftists run on a platform of ‘progress” and ‘justice.’ To be more specific, “social justice.” Justice is administered by a governing authority in order to punish those who have wronged. In Western society that has usually meant to punish crimes of theft or violence. You put the word ‘social’ in front of ‘justice’ and you get the regulation of the individual and their behavior and if their behavior is wrong, they are punished. In the case of the modern leftist, white, strait men have wronged and so they must be punished making their ‘justice’ movement completely based off of race and gender, the opposite of being anti-racist and anti-sexist. That’s just some of the definition bending in action. Leftists are allowed (or allow themselves) to be racist and sexist if they roll themselves out as anti-racist and sexist.\n\nWhere does the word ‘progress’ fit into this equation? Given that leftists want to punish elements of society, their definition of “progress’ is to expand the members of society of which to punish. According to the logic of the leftists’ platform, if they, let’s say, were to punish all white, strait men under the name of ‘progressivism,’ they by definition will expand their punishments to other races, genders, what ever group they deem oppressing or simply those they don’t like. All of which fit under the definitions of ‘progressive social justice.’\n\nSocial Justice=Progress, Justice=Punishment.\n\nLeftists aim to continually seek out those to punish.",

      "body": "Modern feminism is anything but the praise of all things feminine in humanity. To dive into what I’m talking about in more detail, I to have mention that there is a difference between the masculine and feminine and we are all capable of both. But since are brains issues chemical and neurological auto-responses that correspond with the physical gender we were born with, you’re much more likely to adopt the character traits of your gender instinctively.\n\nThroughout ancient mythology, the female has always been portrayed as a beautiful, fit and seductive with their character largely defined by their diplomatic cunning. We still see that today in movies because we instinctively respond to that archetype. The masculine archetype is of the brawn warrior who operates out of the pursuit and acceptance of the woman, again, we still see that in movies today.\n\nModern feminism is all things masculine which goes against the womanly instincts. The whole platform of feminism is to culturally claim ‘equal rights’ for women, i.e. be the same as men. That alone proves they seek to be the same as men and the character traits thereof. They cut their hair short, grow the hair on their legs and armpits and reject being referred to as female or ‘she.’\n\nThat has to cause a major cognitive dissonance in the modern feminist. On one hand they hate all things masculine (‘toxic masculinity’), one the other hand they strive to be masculine and on the third hand (let’s just say they have three hands) they, themselves, are physically female.\n\n![sb_rosie_the_riveter.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZ8TZ7RndbEY6USuHUWMqkBAN59cuSN4pH8r3Dj8TH8J3/sb_rosie_the_riveter.jpg)\n\nIt’d be one thing of this masculinization of women was organic but it’s not at all. Evidence of that can be seen by the outspoken demand for skin-deep masculine attributes. Instead of accomplishing instinctively driven persona objectives (which is a masculine trait that is not exclusive to one gender) they want to have the image of masculinity and demand that society arbitrarily sees them as such.\n\nModern feminists (whose ideology is female orthodoxy) demand that men become less masculine (feminized) so they can feel more masculine in comparison to men. This ruins our species. What this does is reverses our gender roles and they admit this by terming it ‘gender fluidity.’ Instinctively men follow the woman’s lead in order to be accepted by them for mating purposes and modern feminism demands that men demasculate, and they follow suit. The men became weaker and the woman try to fill that void which they biologically can’t. But unfortunately for the demasculated feminist man, women still respond to the jerk.",

A winner of an argument does not need to do such a thing because they will be confident in their argument and any personal attack is a sign of forfeiture of the offending party.\n\nUnfortunately for the one winning the argument, they purposely allocate the energy that would be used to project emotions to their opponent and harness it to dig deep into their brains to make the factual points needed to win the argument. That leaves the one winning the argument boring, sterile and unconvincing and in our celebrity, drama crazed, low attention and stimuli dominated culture, people think the performance wins the argument, not the logic and facts.\n\nOn a societal level, when people judge the winner of an argument strictly by its performance and not substance, it's an indication that society is is very mentally ill and does not operate in reality because the root of all mental illness is living a life and making decisions based on unreality. But we see things in our institutions that promote this unreality like how me must call a transgender person a 'she' when it's obviously a he but given the performance of the emotional and accusatory argument of the defender of this gender unreality seems so confident that this he is a she, others do not question this unreality, mostly out of fear that they will be labeled as a hateful bigot.\n\nThe one who gets angry over facts and logic is the first one to threaten because they feel threatened, even though they are not actually threatened, which is another action based off of unreality. Why the unstable party in the argument feels threatened is like because they are a narcissist who identifies with their facade. The narcissist usually turns to outbursts and meltdowns when their unrealistic and inflated sense of self is exposed. When arguing with a narcissist, you are not playing the same game as they are. Their goal is not to present facts for a common goal of trading and being open to better ideas so this world is a better place, this is war for the narcissist.\n\nSo now that needlessly hostile arguing can be assumed to be held by the pathological narcissist who does not seek to win an argument by presenting facts and logic but by means of the survival of their inflated and unrealistic image of themselves we can determine that deep down their false image must be approved of. They seek approval, not common ground and real progress.\n\nThere is an element of performance when arguing, especially in our artificially mesmerized society but it cannot be scripted. Raw emotion when arguing is bound to come out when you're so confident of your point but facts and logic must take center stage. When dealing with the narcissist type who argues to maintain the survival of their persona, one must find out that persona and massage it. That will help lower their defenses so your facts penetrate to a more logical area of the brain.",
