This is a thread for the dispersal of wisdom in an age of political fear, uncertainty, and social change. Politics in one way or another has a serious effect on one's mindset and, therefore, their day-to-day life. When times are good, one can passively coast during often unexamined life, but challenging times are unique opportunities to reflect and adjust.>Are you maintaining a healthy internal dialogue to remain centered in such turbulent times?>Are you performing better today than you were yesterday? Will you be attempt to be even better tomorrow?>As society deteriorates and leaves you to fend for yourself, are you learning the practical skills for basic self-care self-sufficiency?>Are you taming your addictions: processed food, alcohol, tobacco, vidya, internet, pornography, doomscrolling, gambling, etc.?>Do you only lament and despair?>Do you see opportunity for growth?
I've just eaten an ungodly amount of hummus and now I need to shit. This is as good as it gets. Easy bowel movements are a blessing.
>>542102817i stopped smoking weed, never taken pills or hard drugs, only eat one meal a day to limit the food poison they force on us, go to gym 5 times a week, drink 2-3 times a week, but only enough to get a buzz, not full blown drunk
>>542102817Christian.Have a wife and kids.Have a longterm goal with short term goals as milestones.Enjoy life when I can.Pretty much all there is.t. 38
>>542102817>>Are you maintaining a healthy internal dialogue to remain centered in such turbulent times?Yes, I meditate frequently and remind myself the world is a stage, it's all made up and the points don't matter. >>Are you performing better today than you were yesterday? Will you be attempt to be even better tomorrow?Always>>As society deteriorates and leaves you to fend for yourself, are you learning the practical skills for basic self-care self-sufficiency?Yes. >>Are you taming your addictions: processed food, alcohol, tobacco, vidya, internet, pornography, doomscrolling, gambling, etc.?Yes.>>Do you only lament and despair?No. I refuse to do it and be sucked into their tricks. I know they only want humanity to despair, fuck them. I'm mostly positive and maintain my composure better than anyone I know. >>Do you see opportunity for growth?Absolutely. Once more people wake up, the "elites" will lose control of the populace. It's inevitable.
I think men should adopt the value systems of an imagined Roman general or a retardmaxxing Chadbro himbo. Either become the Apollonian stoic statesman par excellence or a dude bro surfer weightlifter womanizer chad.
>>542102817>>542103411Life after 30 is a slow-motion suicide without family. It's all the negatives of getting old; watching your friends drift away as they start their own families, your parents and siblings getting old and die, watching everything in your life slowly putter out as the magic fades; without any of the positives of things like family or community to shore you up. Everything rots away and you're left with the bleakness of oblivion, no hope of anything continuing. Anyone who has experienced considerable ageing among his family members (or already in himself), knows how blackpilling it is. It's really rough, once people pass their early 50s (or sometimes even sooner) you start to notice the slip-ups, forgetfulness, the declining of fine motor skills, the difficulties understanding new information. Human existence is a tragedy, there are so few years that you are allowed with full mental and physical strength. Your peak years are mostly wasted with education, where you have barely any control over your own life, because you have little to no money nor autonomy. Add to that the time spent sleeping, working, hygiene, housework, shopping, appointments, visits to the workshop - what do we have left? Everyone who has to work for a living basically leads a precarious existence, regardless of whether they are a simple worker or a well-paid employee. Before they have built up a comfortable fortune and a well established understanding of the world, the body goes downhill.
>>542102817You have to find a steady routine. For instance the first thing I do when I wake up is check the news to make sure Sydney Sweeney isn’t pregnant. Whew not pregnant. Then I make a small breakfast and plan out my day of goyslaving. If it’s the weekend I try to have chores and errands all decided before my head hits the pillow on Friday nights. Make sure your routine has a goal. Mine is to save enough money to leave society and be far from ugly niggers out in a beautiful meadow somewhere with sparkling water and mountains in the background.

Don't tell me you faggots are becoming born again christians. You should know better.
>>542103593Disregard this doomerism bot/shill. Begone
>>542102817I just focus on the many blessings in my life and I thank God every day for helping me turn my life around idk anytime I've felt like I was dealing with some kind of spiritual attacks or darkness, prayer always seems to keep it at baybut before I started praying regularly it would be very tumultuous and things could potentially spiral out of control I feel like the main thing keeping me stable was also just focusing on the good and wholesome things and being thankful for them
>>542102817>soulno such thing my friend
>>542103593I haven't had friends in 20 years. Didn't have a family until after I was 30. Was KHV until 30.Stop being a faggot, get fit, get as decent a job as you can, which will likely be blue collar, and go on a dating website for a woman that isn't from the West. I neglected to mention my wife is Asian, but it does make a difference. I can't stand to be around white women because of how retarded and degenerate they are.If you think you're going to live in a city and make it, it's over for you. Rural life is the only way forward.
I just let it go and do nothing
>>542103305>>542103566A minimalist approach can strip away many of the mental prisons we create for ourselves, however it can also leave one ill-equipped to deal with finding purpose. most people need some kind of escape to deal with the daily tedium or suffering if their body is failing, like this anon says: >>542103593. The key is to find balance.>>542103411>>542103451Seems like you two gentleman have traversed through the darkness and built a safe haven for yourselves and family. How do you contend with knowledge of civilizational entropy eating away at it from the outside?
>>542102817I know what is true and what is false. Simple as
>>542102817>How do you keep your soul intact under intense spiritual warfare?By not falling for right wing psyops and chud nonsense. Once you realize it's all worthless, harmful horseshit your life improves a thousandfold. Everything right wing is poison. It's a tragedy that civilization has allowed religion and chuddery to persist for so long.
>>542104223Kill yourself unironically
>>542103593basically this + as an added bonus i get to see my job being automated away by AI in real-time.
>>542102817Realizing who your true enemies are is actually very empowering. Your entire life focus becomes just about defying or destroying them. People say hate is bad, but it's not. It's very useful. And the people telling you not to hate probably hate you far worse.
>>542102817The intensity of psychological attacks are always inversely proportional to the security of those conducting the attack. They come from a place of fear and doubt. Who do they fear? What do they doubt?
>>542102817I take my meds and don't hear those schizo voices
>>542105547Duly noted. Living and persevering out of spite is a good first step for the many materialistic hylics to take to become psychics, or spiritually aware beings, but that alone will not bring one to enlightenment. Hate of the opposition is still fundamentally an external locus of control.>>542104223How will you go about preventing the degeneracy you identify from consuming your family?>>542105196Would you care to elaborate how left-wing philosophy will protect one's mental health?
>>542102817Babylon is my desired outcome so Christ can return and the scriptures can be fulfilled.>Are you performing better today than you were yesterday?

Knowing missing children are fed to the population is just a bit too much to not have anything for, so I have allowed myself this one vice. Nobody is perfect, all are sinners.>Do you only lament and despair?Nah it's pretty chill and comfy and I play vidya and smile a lot.>Do you see opportunity for growth?Spiritual growth yes but there is nothing for me in Babylon. There is only death.
>>542105373What caused your asspain?
>>542102817I started praying. I started to feel the world I want. As time went on everything befan hanging for the better. Yeah that works suck, but I got everything I’ve prayed for, now I’m content.
I'm actually doing pretty good. I have a nice wife and well behaved loving children. We went to church today and now I'm working on my twitch channel of quake and black metal. Please don't look it up, I'm trying to stay underground for TRVE KVLT status and I only have 4 followers and newd to keep it that way.
>>542102817>an age of political fear, uncertainty, and social change>Politics in one way or another has a serious effect on one's mindset haven't noticed any of that in my life. sounds like a problem for troons and redditors
>>542107176Interesting that you mention praying, as I have grown distant from the practice over the years and I am planning on moving back towards it. Whether it's law of attraction or truly the Christian God, I cannot prove witj certainty but I definitely believe it works. I don't want to use it for myself and my own successes, I want everyone else to be happy because then they woild leave me alone and I could be happy.(I love my wife and kids and want what's best for them. My wants and wishes aren't really of any importance and if people watch my twitch/youtube channel and enjoy their selves that's great but no need to waste something as powerful as prayer on something like that.)
>>542102817I see nothing but darkness, I drink all night and sleep all day, this world is dead to me.t. 44yo disabled alky.
>>542107581>>542107581Alcohol sucks, you really need to stop. I quit a year ago for the second time and I feel so much better. I don't even crave it anymore. I'm 41 and didn't become an alcoholic until I was 30.
>>542102817I’m just patiently waiting for judgement day>>542104348This>>542103593If you saw my home life you’d know why I decided from an early age to never have a family
>>542107715Appreciate the effort m8 but I'm genuinely beyond help. Funnily enough, I also started at around 30 after breaking my back at work.I just keep going hoping I never wake up, fwiw, I'm glad you turned it around anon.
>>542102817i keep my eye out for serious opportuinitys! >>542106601
>>54210281732It’s aight My problems could be worse imo
>>542102817>>Are you maintaining a healthy internal dialogue to remain centered in such turbulent times?Know thyself>>Are you performing better today than you were yesterday? Will you be attempt to be even better tomorrow?We all do what we feel we can>>As society deteriorates and leaves you to fend for yourself, are you learning the practical skills for basic self-care self-sufficiency?Nothing new under the sun>>Are you taming your addictions: processed food, alcohol, tobacco, vidya, internet, pornography, doomscrolling, gambling, etc.?And here's the purity spiral cuck mentality. Real ones do what they fucking want.>>Do you only lament and despair?Do you only piss and cum?>>Do you see opportunity for growth?When jews, shitskins, and cathcucks like you are gone, yes
>>542102817>30+ Anons: How do you keep your soul intact under intense spiritual warfare? I read one Psalms every night before going to bed and i offer gratitude to God for another day to live.
>>542104705>>542104705>Seems like you two gentleman have traversed through the darkness and built a safe haven for yourselves and family. How do you contend with knowledge of civilizational entropy eating away at it from the outside?Unfortunately it just is what it is. These sorts of moments/events in humanity are cyclic. By succumbing to the misery, my existence would be miserable. I combat it by loving my family and engaging with them. I go outside and try to connect with my community, I do creative things for the sake of making me happy instead of being "useful." I cook good food, I spend time with my family without screens, I appreciate the little things. I do small things to give my life and the life of others happiness or brightness. I look forward to the dust settling from this chaotic period. It's going to be fucking brutal, but I keep myself optimistic by thinking about the progress humanity can make when we finally come out on the other side of all of this.Years ago I was definitely trapped. Tried killing myself a few times, used to spend a ton of time angry and pissed off at the world, feeling the weight of shit being unfair while I clawed my way out of poverty. But at a certain point I just asked myself "why" I was so fucking miserable and depressed. Then made active efforts to unfuck it all.
>>542102817>>Are you maintaining a healthy internal dialogue to remain centered in such turbulent times?Most of the time. I ignore negative thoughts, but I have been having some sharp mood swings recently.>>Are you performing better today than you were yesterday? Will you be attempt to be even better tomorrow?Yes. I am pushing myself and making progress everyday now. But I could push further, and my competitors are gaining traction on me. >>As society deteriorates and leaves you to fend for yourself, are you learning the practical skills for basic self-care self-sufficiency?Yes. And you reminded me, I need to leave this house so that I can grow a garden. And I need to spend a few days to fully stock again, but my overall plan to increase my wealth assets and stores has been working out very well over the past few years. >>Are you taming your addictions: processed food, alcohol, tobacco, vidya, internet, pornography, doomscrolling, gambling, etc.?Overall my diet is not that good, and is something I do need to work on. I only drink from time to time, and my biggest vice is weed and vape. Vaping is the worst, very hard to regulate. I spend a decent amount of time conflicted about whether I should stop. I blame my mum for smoking with me in the womb.>>Do you only lament and despair?Now and then, but it goes and I focus on my immediate possibility's again. >>Do you see opportunity for growth?Absolutely. I have a massive opportunity with a business I have create, but the road ahead is extending all the time. I need to keep moving, and only look for the next steps.

>>542102817Even though I am a christian and consider myself very mentally strong and grounded because of my christian faith, I have come to the conclusion that the bible no longer equips me to deal with the problems we are facing in modern society. We live in dangerous times because people can no longer claim ignorance about morality. We live in a world where everyone knows moral codes and everyone has (whether they admit it or not) moved on from religion and are inventing their own morality. Woke and liberalism are both codes of morality that try and make up for what most people think are the stringent conservative values of religion that lack empathy. The result is that we live in dangerous times even though it outwardly appears that we live in an age of empathy and compassion. American society is collapsing. People cant see it or wont admit it because the entire economy is fake and propped up by jewish banking money. The constant threads about men not working even though there are plenty of jobs is fake and an example of how society has become the Truman Show creating fake hardship just for public entertainment. Everything you see posted on /pol/ is fake morality about how good hearted women are even though they are materialistic whores and parasites of a fake economy. Only smart men see through this. There are plenty of smart men on /pol/, we have all pulled back from society and watching this clown show because thats all we can do until people admit to whats going on.My personal studies have lead me to Philip K Dick and Carl Jung to make sense of what is going on in society.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNWICD9ru_o
>>542102817Cannabis. I also have protection from the other realm.
>>542105196Cite one fact. Because it is clear to me that leftist lunacy is poison. I'll start - the current mainstream left thinks killing your unborn babies or even the born ones is OK. That men can give birth and they will make a sad face if you disagree. Cite one right wing position that is as poisonous as that?
Drlwilson's godly diet and detox simple as
>>542110186>Cite one right wing position that is as poisonous as that?Climate change denial, absence of rule of law, oligarchy, wars, anti-women, anti-abortion, anti-art and so an and on. There is nothing as destructive as right wing shit and it has plunged us in two world wars. A total end of right wing bullshit is necessary. You are simply evil. >>542106606>Would you care to elaborate how left-wing philosophy will protect one's mental health?Live and let live, to each his own. It solves all problems. Right wingers are just incapable of living like that because they're inherently submissive and thoughtless and worship other men and their authority, since they cannot think for themselves. Conservatives are deeply submissive to male authority figures. It's a tragedy and admission of personal defeat.
>>542102817It's very simple, as a nihilist I just expect the worst from the git-go and already have accepted it. Everything is meaningless, but God gives purpose. I can live a minimalist lifestyle and focus my energy on the things I enjoy while continuing to grow morally as a person.
>>542105196>>542110186They're all fucking psyops, designed to get people like you to constantly fight with each other of which side is better.
>>542102817The answer is always the Trivium.

There is nothing as destructive as right wing shit and it has plunged us in two world wars.>A total end of right wing bullshit is necessary. You are simply evil.you live in a society where you are given free stuff for doing nothing, so your morality is just for everyone else in the world to get free stuff like you, a sort of 'let them eat cake' morality. you personally do nothing to help anyone, you just lecture everyone else how they should give stuff away for free. you dont actually care about poor people in poor countries and never even think about how they could develop. your jewish morality is only to bring all the brown people to white countries>>Would you care to elaborate how left-wing philosophy will protect one's mental health?>Live and let live, to each his own. It solves all problems. Right wingers are just incapable of living like that because they're inherently submissive and thoughtless and worship other men and their authority, since they cannot think for themselves. Conservatives are deeply submissive to male authority figures. It's a tragedy and admission of personal defeat.youre admitting youre a hedonist who's whole life is about living for pleasure
>>542110430>Climate changeClimate change/CO2 is just a distraction from the actual environmental issues that matter such as China/India destroying the ocean and rivers. All forms of poisons, forever chemicals, pesticides, garbage ingredients in processed foods, HFCS, and shitty plastic packaging that isn't biodegradable.>Absence of rule of lawThat would be the left here in the USA. The right supports the rule of law, arresting rioters, looters etc. and standing up for cops (when they are actually innocent).>OligarchyThey are bad but it essentially requires a recreation of the system to cut off and limit outside powers. This will basically never get reformed from within the current system.>WarsBad, but it is basically both sides pushing them at any point in time. While we focus on domestic issues the elite starts a foreign war. When we focus on foreign wars they distract with domestic issues. It is all ultimately to serve Israeli Zionists.>Anti-abortionThe left refuses to make a reasonable stance on this. Instead of limiting to a certain time period they insist on allowing it up until birth (and sometimes later). A baby right before and right after birth are identical (besides its location). This is just supporting infanticide.>World warsHitler was a national socialist. Socialism is left wing policy while nationalism is typically right wing. There is literally nothing wrong with nationalism though as long as you confine your action to basic morality, i.e. do what is in your country's best interests as long as it doesn't actively harm other countries, treat others the way you want to be treated etc. Either way these wars are performed on behalf of the elites in charge. The US didn't want to get involved at all until the false flag of Pearl Harbor and similarly with 9/11 in Iraq/Afghanistan. They will push you into it by manufacturing consensus and created "reasons".
>>542102817At 41 I promise you'll outgrow any of your troubles and realize that it wasn't worth it. It's going to get worse and there's nothing you can do about it. Get used to it. The jews have won. Live your love and try to enjoy what you can.
>>542110874Race mixing is one of the worst things you can do. Should be classified as child abuse. It's defacto racism. But it's to be expected in kike society where they enable child and female abuse and have explicit genocidal policies
"Turbulent times" is an understatement. Modern civilization is ending, and its incredible how few people even here are willing to look that in the face. Even this OP.There are only a few things still worth doing with the one, maybe two decades we have left.The only one really worth talking about though is dedicating yourself to transcendence, because it is the only pursuit that will mean anything when the inevitable happens and things fall apart. Your life, your body, your country, your world.Hopefully whatever religion or spirituality you subscribe to isn't complete bullshit, and actually has a meaningful path to this.If you're a Mormon or Evangelical or some other cynical corruption of a real message you're going to have to do a lot of tearing down before you can even touch this aspect.Whatever religion you were born into though, the most straightforward path is through the teachings of the Buddha. Not the pop-culture, proselytizing version, but the original version Siddhartha Gautama taught.This is compatible with whatever you already are, because there are no gods, no devotion, just a lifetime of work on developing the capacity of one's own mind to pierce illusion.Meditation is the most important thing anyone who isn't an NPC can do. Stay away from anything that smells of new age bullshit. Theravada and Zen are the best place to start. Shikantaza is as simple as it gets.
>>542112205I can say this as a white person, white people are the dumbest people on earth. Everyone on earth is watching white women cuck their men and just use them as paypigs. And we have these beta simps who keep preaching about white superiority. News flash, the white women you support fucks niggers. Everyone in the world watches white men get cucked by white whores. The fact that you betacucks cant stop blathering about white superiority is just Darwins natural laws at work.
>>542112422Lol. Pumping some rice paddy gook is self defeating. Typical of a nuchrisitian. The only thing weak about white society is the manipulation of its morality to be suicidal. Naturally this will dissolve and people like you will be fodder. But don't say I didn't warn you
>>542111139You said nothing except chud crap so I'm assuming you're an AI bot. >>542111527See the above. Everything right wing must die so that Humanity can prosper. I am not interested in your worthless shit. I am not a slave, and so I am not right wing.
