The older I get (and Im only early thirties) the less I can stand some of the viewpoints of jealous, unaware liberals. I could never associate with people so utterly clueless about the real world. I have no clue what they're doing on a so called redpill community.
Are you referring to anyone in particular or just in theory?
First, I am trying not to get too involved in political discussions here, because imo this forum mainly has value in its datasheets, high number of international entrepreneurs, digital nomads and intercultural dating and game advice. That is the only thing separating this forum from countless others about pua, weightlifting, online marketing etc.
So I will try to be polite, even though liberal ignorance makes me rage on a low burn.
Yes, you are one of the names I have seen in these political debates along with some others and it suprises me a lot. I am not calling you jealous though, likely just college unaware and young (I hope!).
For people who like to talk a lot about hamster rationalization and feminists making excuses for their own failure, it boggles me how many use the exact same thinking in regards to politics.
You are simply not seeing the world for what it is and behind all the elaborate writing, I fundamentally only see excuses and rationalizations for not daring to face the harsh realities of the real world.
The world and human life is one big competition, but this is where we differ. I do not see that as something evil. I see it as liberating and enjoyable. Where liberals see competition as devolving into selfishness, I see the harsh realities of competition as the seed for voluntary co-operation. I enjoy the ingenuity, the drive, the creativity that comes from competition and desire to win.

All the great things we enjoy in life from iPhones, to great food, to easy airline travel, all of it came around due to selfish ambition.
I could tell you a real sob story about how I pulled myself from living on a friends couch, with mentally ill relatives and a recently deceased mother, plus massive debt, to reasonable financial security, location independence and freedom within 3 years. Working a job, studying and trying to start a business at the same time. Living in a 20sqm dump in a ghetto while doing so. But would you listen? I know what is possible. I also know that most people have no concept of temporary sacrifice or delaying of gratification and that is why they never 'make it' in whatever field they are in.
And while trying to make this reality come true for myself, I wanted to quit, really wanted to quite at least 10 times, and I can't count how many times people told me I was chasing a pipe dream and should just get a job or that it wasn't realistic.
