Like many spergs, I was interested in politics since I was young. How ironic, autists study politics, but sociopaths do politics. Anyway.
Most of us are pacified by the elites and given copes to stop complaining. I do believe that nerd culture (bibeo games, Fanko Pops, Star Wars, all that shit) in the 10s was astroturfed by the CIA or some other agency like that to shift the zeitgeist from actually important questions to "Kennedy ruined muh Star Wars" or some other shit. There is no other reason for normies to be interested in fucking Marvel movies, which are such a clear psyop to brainwash the population.
You could see it in popular media too. The goal is to make us live through the rebellion on the screen instead of doing it ourselves. Take the Hunger Games, Star Wars, any piece of media made in the 10s, it's all about sticking it to the big man. It must be inspiring, right? No! We basically see it on the screen, our sense of righteousness is satisfied, and we can go back to gooning to trap porn or whatever.
Additionally, GamerGate (yes, we are going to talk about that) was a way to create controlled opposition on the right and on the left both. They took gamers and forced them to "care" about politics, but this "caring" extended only to shitting on boobs in video games/lack of boobs in video games. It is as if the political charge of the youth was diverted to arguing over the latest balwashed character in YouTube comment session.
There is just no reason for normies to care about video games, but video games are at their peak of popularity. Why? Before, they were the domain of nerds. Now, norms sweat in DOTA 2 or whatever for 3000 of hours. It's clearly a push to divert their attention in the virtual world. And by virtual world I don't mean communities where people can connect and plan together.
Ever wondered why "for you" page exists and why its so different for all people? To divide the population. Nowadays, the algorithm exists to create those small bubbles where people barely interact with anything that doesn't fit their worldview and creates safe spaces of familiar information which doesn't challenge but dulls the mind.(READ THE RULES)

How do you fellow thirdie NEET survive and cope? I am Neet in third world country, I really don't want to return to the call center I used to work from last year ;-; the town I live in went to hell too so virtually no local jobs either, I want to be a NEET all day every day but I am forced to work since I live in a third world country and NEETbucks don't exist here, I also can't afford nice things and hobbies so even NEETing is not really fun but a lesser evil compared to the cagie life to me, not to mention the wages are extremely bad, my former job paid less than 200 USDs a month and I had to work 6 days a week (most people in my country work 6 days a week).

what wizzies wear? I usually dress like I'm fifteen even if I'm almost 30. and I buy clothes every 4 years or so. I'm not fashonable nor do I care for clothes, I don't know how to dress well. Sometimes theres clothes I'd like to buy but they're often expensive has hell (I found a jacket like pic related (without the retard yellow thing printed on it) and it's 300 bucks on ebay).
I also wanted to buy a wizards shirt with this especially wizard logo but couldn't find anywhere
If you have some websites that sell cool clothes for wizards, share it!
What could be the wizard clothes set/ wizcore clothes?

Has weed changed or have I changed?
Weed used to make me feel great, now it just makes me feel sad and quite uncomfortable with myself.

happy new year and all of that.

treat yourself to some sesame paste if you never head any. i regret learning about this so late, i can't help but want to warn others on not missing out on this goodness. it is just one ingredient crushed industrially into paste: sesame seeds.

when you buy it in the store it is separated and the separation is strong. when you stick a spoon in and try to stir, the bottom is so strong that the spoon can not stir. and you have to shake it and keep it in a shook state.

the sesame paste hides behind a bit of effort but the reward is worth the extra work.

the taste is amazing. mild and nutty. the nice thing about this is that it has a high fat content but it is not as impossible to digest as oil is. it still has it's fiber.

i use this to make sauces without oil. i just put tomatos and herbs into a blender and then i add a few tablespoons of this stuff and it turns into a nice creamy sauce but a sauce that the human organism has the chance to actually digest reasonably.

this stuff is so good, i wonder why it is not sold in regular supermarkets, i bother to go to the muslim markets just to get this goodness.

Hitler's thread:
Paintings or things related to him or to national socialism.

- Painting of a castle.

In short, I left my digital footprint in a rather bad website, though, thankfully, people forgot about me.

But the problem is, people know about the thing I love deeply and care about. This was because at the time I was a complete fucking dumbass and vented and on that shitty website almost every day but thankfully, they seemed to have forgotten about it too thankfully but….

I just hate every time I look up the name of what I care about, there is a chance of that shitty wiki article popping up that mentions me and that thing I care about.

I was a lolcow. I won't deny it and I wish my younger self was a lot smarter than being a fucking dumbass and venting on that shitty website almost every day. I just don't want my name or anything I care about to mention there and I don't want people spreading misformation about either me or the thing I care about.

I just want to be forgotten and never found and the thing I care about too be obscure and safe forever. This is all I ask.

We used to have one of these back in the day. Post random Wikipedia articles.

Post wiz-centric WEBMs and MP4s in this thread. Politics, "rekd", or normalfag interests are NOT allowed.

Redditors are anti-human. Their speech is akin to corpo babble, their draconian rules would make the most ruthless dictator on Earth flatter, their mannerisms are passive-aggressive and very feminine in nature. Reddit is like a mix of the HR team from a Silicon Valley company, the most rabid antifa member, an army of socially awkward unhinged manchildren and all the Cluster B succubi in the world.

It’s funny how they act both like a hivemind but also like mindless drones, as if they lacked any semblance of individuality. If you strive just slightly from the norm, you will get downvoted, your post removed and (if you’re lucky) they will ban your account, freeing you from the hassle of interacting with the site. The karma system only serves the purpose of silencing dissidence and rewarding virtue signaling. Like a contest to see who loves mainstream western narratives the most.

What Reddit ultimately reveals is a social pathology created by its own architecture. The platform incentivizes conformity over thought, performance over sincerity, and compliance over conviction. Expression is filtered through an ever-present fear of sanction. Under those conditions, users learn quickly that it is safer to repeat approved thoughts than to think for themselves. The result is a population trained to self-censor and to police one another, lest they offend advertisers.

This is why discourse on Reddit feels less like conversation and more like corporate risk management. Opinions are hedged, emotions are pre-approved, and disagreement is framed as harm. People don’t argue to discover truth but to demonstrate moral alignment. The karma system functions as a behavioral reinforcement loop, rewarding consensus and punishing deviation, until originality itself becomes a bannable offense.

In that sense, Reddit is less a forum and more a training ground for a particular kind of personality, as I described above. The passive-aggressive, feminine nerd who’s more invested in appearing correct rather than being honest, that’s the most common type of user on the platform. It is not surprising that the website feels exhausting to anyone with blood running through their veins and, I will be honest here, anyone with a soul. The system is hostile to actual human beings. It’s no surprise the web is filled to the brim with bots and shills. I’m sure that, except for the small minority of redditors with a pinch of self awareness, most users wouldn’t be aPost too long.
