Now known as the "K" word. Karen. Karen is used to describe the much higher rate of battle-axes you can find this century. With one important difference. It used to be said that battle-axes were hard, and the battle-axe came from a time and place where it was not so easy to be that terrible, but she found a way.
The most clear cut example of the western soul is Faust. The erudite man who trades his soul with the devil for unlimited knowledge and a second chance at the innocence of youth.
And no other cultural soul does this. No other culture comes to us as the Copernican overturning of everything natural like the western soul. And it's by no coincidence that it is the white westerner who thinks they're living in the matrix. The matrix would be that infinite plane where science and progress lead not to a utopia but something far worse than anything which could arise in a state of nature. We don't actually live in the matrix, but to believe so is very white westerner, it's one outgrowth of the western subconscious and it is also by no coincidence that those who made the matrix film are now genderbenders. That's not a coincidence
And my attitude to Russia is also the same. I believe that Russia is a foreign culture, possesses a cultural soul that is not western but wears the trapping of the west in the same way that we the west wore the clothes of Rome. Dostoevsky was right. The Tsar is a western export, and Marxism the ultimate western export. Marxism is the west's true calling for a utopia which can never be realised. The ultimate the victory of science and progress over the conservative facts of existence.
But Russia is not this. There is influence and there is that which lies within. And sometimes it is easy to confuse one for the other.
I can see our decline rhyming with the decline of Rome even though I don't believe we are Roman. I don't believe in the antiquity-medieval-modern trajectory of history. The spirit of western world did not begin with Rome it began with Charlemagne throwing back the Saracen hordes from far outside Europe. Western civilization is not culturally Roman it tore itself from nothing, tore itself from the abyss of dark ages under a dream where science and progress lead to all mens happiness.
And also the end times is too apocalyptic for what I see in the decline of the west. Rome wasn't built in a day and it did not fall down in a day neither. For centuries Rome existed in a degenerated form, it experienced multiple attempts to make Rome great again, and it's very difficult to put a date on where Roman civilization ended and the dark ages began.
It's the western universalism, it's prime symbol is an infinite plane, it's a culture that does not believe in boundaries from its conception the will of the western world was to encompass everything that existed, and get rid of everything that existed.
But this is a myth, a dream. It never actually will control everything, it never actually does remove everything that existed. It's an illusion of the west to feel that the world ends when you do, to believe that nothing else exists because of you.
I believe in the decline of the west and I believe it's western to think that the world ends when you do. It's not the whole world going down, but the west is like the last days of Rome. Ruled by a donkey charlatan class and most of the population tainted in a similar way of decadence and dysfunction. Spaz lord weak lord rule and its dumber, shorter and poorer posterity.
And I would make in their defence the way we have all evolved. In terms of strangers it is our male ancestors far more likely to have met one. Women have evolved to see the same few faces much more. And now we call it a global village but there's nothing actually a village about encountering anybody from anywhere, nothing village-like about the internet other than the trenches people dig themselves into.
Women were made to be mall security guards, or better yet, the supervisor over a small team of mall security guards. The love of petty power and clannishness
Because that's really the point. By becoming a parent you are allowing someone to be sick on you whilst holding absolutely no ill-feeling towards them, towards the baby. It's low narcissism, the parent is hard to offend and hard to insult and if they're not the baby is in danger.
Maybe it is that being a successful parent requires traits not encouraged by the modern world. Humility, patience and a determination to welcome inconvenience with open arms. To have low narcissism.
That would certainly be one to reduce false confessions. Admit guilt and the punishment gets worse.
But I've no idea why parents end up killing their own children. There probably isn't just one reason. An infantilised world where parents have no patience or capacity to endure upset? Or drugs and crack-addled maniacs?
In the company of those who don't complain that the music is too loud in bars. Not a prison warden, not a world where you need new eyeballs and a finger transplant because you viewed the wrong corner of the room
You've not heard what she's going to say yet. A woman is mother nature's communist, if you were happy you will soon not be anymore if you were miserable you will be less so. All experiences become "meh" and little can be done. Something terrible could happen if things happen
Speaking of all this, real Mr Khan, one of the reasons women forgive an older man is because they don't mind him looking a bit crappy and seem to prefer his less to impress approach to life. There is less standing on ceremony and less butthurtedness afterwards. I don't think funny and wise when you've told me that you're funny and wise, very goal-oriented.. is that won't take no for an answer, will get really upset about it? Have you ever heard the saying love finds you when you're not looking for it?
Woman transitions to man with all the ease of a whitey moving to the Philippines. The more the merrier we say.
Man transitions to woman with all the ease of a Albanian asylum seeker breaking into a republican golf course.
The trans issue is illuminating as it shows that you can transition to a lower status and not a higher one. And one person can have the lived experience to know the difference, to know both sides. Anyone can move down the old kent road.
For me it's the living longer, the not being sent to die in battle, drown in the sea, or starve in shop doorway. Everybody needs to be kind to me, stress this, and also that I'm a very strong person - stress this as well
Although covid did have our rich behaving like the classic rich. When push came to shove it did respond like the most privileged people ever to have lived. Where was your precious slummin' it when nature red in tooth and claw came a calling? Nowhere is the answer to that. Lockdown was just recklessly oversensitive people responding as though all the hurty hurtiness in the world can be deferred to another day. It's children are shorter, fewer in number, lower in IQ and poorer.. social progress itself is going into reverse because a fool and his money
And what about when people spend good money on lowering their quality of life? Like people in the first world buying bottled water. To spend good money on being worse off. To spend good money on putting yourself into a situation that others were unfortunate enough to be born into. What's that? Postmodernism?
We don't all have the same boundary line. Did those billionaires need to visit the wreck of the titanic? You know what the rich and powerful are, don't you? Dangerously bored. They perhaps need the thrill of doing something like that. The dangerous boredom of the most privileged people ever to have lived. Is that a need?
And I was reading something interesting where apparently the better you are at maths the less easily that you are satisfied. Not all, but most people good at maths compare numbers, compare incomes.. basically do keeping up with the Jones in a way much more extreme than anybody else. Is that a need?
America, you are better off Than our ancient continent. You have no tumbledown castles And no basalt deposits. Your inner lives are not disturbed by Useless memories and vain strife(?). Use your time with confidence! And if your children write poetry, May a kindly fate guard them from writing Stories of knights, robbers and ghosts.
It wasn't just independence, it was a revolution against a mad king and a load of unblinking peasants. America is or was the reason that human beings have any rights
