This harrowing image is of a large pile of (French and German) human remains at Verdun. European relatives tore each other limb from limb, only to wind up altogether again. Words can not describe the crimes bestowed upon our ancestors.
What a waste 🕊
Even older men hate us because:
1) We aren’t working harder to wife up and slave away for their ungrateful daughters and granddaughters.
2) We’re competition to them.
3) Part of them resents the fact that we aren’t embracing cuckoldry the way they did.
Until the incentives come back, I see no reason for young men to put extensive labor into a system that hates them.
Young men today have never been more ostracized. There’s not a single place or institution where they can get even an ounce of basic respect.
However, once this horrific system collapses, people will be begging smart, able-bodied young men to come save it. But why should they?
Will any of the solutions people have been scoffing at for years finally be taken seriously? Is society ready to:
• Take political rights away from women
• End our geriatric welfare state
• Dismantle foreign labor and girl boss DEI
• Economically prioritize young men
…along with many other things that young women and older generations consider “extreme.”
So I have to ask, how bad do things have to get before people finally start listening?
ruined lives are
normal
both for the wise
and
others.
it is only when
that life
ruined
becomes ours
we realize
then
that the suicides, the
drunkards, the mad, the
jailed, the dopers...
are just as common
a part of existence
as the
rainbow
~ Bukowski
You fall in love once, the rest of your life is spent enduring “romantic advice” from people who mistake replacement for resurrection. Dante’s false hope, Kierkegaard’s betrayal, you can’t twist the heart to different directions.
@jerr_rrej If i may add, avoid politically obsessed people. They are high cortisol and even worse, are fuelled by finding/having opponents. If they dont have one they”ll make one.
If the enemy cant be find in the world they”ll find one at their table.
Lot of men have high cortisol levels from constant irritation and anger. They sour their own blood and destroy their hearts. Avoid rage baiting social media. Ignore news and politics. Avoid playing too much video games. Lower stress by going on walks and reading books. Books have been proven to have the same benefits as meditation. If something disturbs sleep, cut it out. Drink water. Take care of health.
Hybristophilia is a uniquely female dominated phenomenon which, when combined with the Marxist exploitation of women’s maternal instincts into political weapons, explains why you see mostly crazy women attacking ICE officers trying to deport illegal violent offenders.

Most Romans never once ate a "Roman feast." The real daily diet was way stranger and more human than the movies show.
The staple was puls, a thick porridge of emmer wheat. Poor families ate it morning and night for their whole lives. Rome ran on porridge long before it ran on bread.
Then there was garum. Fermented fish guts left in salt under the sun for weeks until they broke down into a salty brown sauce. It smelled so bad that making it was banned inside some city limits. Romans put it on almost everything. It was their ketchup.
Most people lived in apartment blocks with no kitchen, because open fires in packed wooden buildings meant the whole block burned down. So they ate out. Every street had a thermopolium, a counter with clay pots of hot food sunk into it. Stew, sausage, chickpeas, whatever was cheap that day. Ancient fast food, and you can still see the counters standing in Pompeii.
Meat was a luxury for ordinary people. When they got it, it was usually pork. Sausages, offal, blood, the cheap cuts. Beef was rare because oxen were worth more alive, pulling plows.
Vegetables did the heavy lifting. Cabbage, leeks, onions, garlic, lentils, fava beans, chickpeas. Cato the Elder was so obsessed with cabbage he claimed it cured basically every disease and wrote about using it as medicine.
No sugar existed, so honey was the only real sweetener. They put it in wine, on cheese, even on meat.
Nobody drank plain water if they could help it. Wine was watered down and sipped all day long. Poorer people and soldiers drank posca, a sour mix of vinegar and water that also killed bacteria without anyone knowing why.
And the rich? Totally different world. At elite dinners they served dormice fattened in clay jars and rolled in honey, flamingo tongues, whole roast peacock, and imported spices worth more than gold. One surviving Roman cookbook reads like a dare.
So the true taste of ancient Rome was not marble and grapes. It was porridge, cheap wine, and fish sauce that smelled like a dock at low tide. And they loved it.
