It's kind of hard to explain the young, bummed dude position in all this. What I'm noticing with young guys is that they almost hold out hope that Russia could be the promised land. They don't want to go fight someone they have a vague sense they might escape to someday.

Talking with an old dude about a 23 yo mechanic we know who's open to moving outside the country altogether and he just can't get the absolute vacuum some guys have. All these relationships, connections, and community that exist for him are utterly absent for the kid.

"Like if he would move, what about his girlf-"
"Don't got one"
Well his family would have to miss-"
"he's got a single mother and she doesn't act like he exists, he makes her feel "old"
Well, it's his country, how could he just up and leave his home - "
"his government endlessly shits on him and tells his incoming replacements that he's the root of all ills in teh world."
"So he's really gonna learn a language? That's a lot of work"
@WashedOutGundamPilot > "So he's really gonna learn a language?"

When learning a language is all that is standing between you and escape from a soul-crushing existence? That is more than enough motivation.
@LukeAlmighty @teknomunk @WashedOutGundamPilot There are a lot of good things that make America great. Too much hate makes you a sterile internet nazi like this guy. It's OK to denounce injustice, degeneracy and everything he denounces. But then promote the good positive stuff and focus on it. Hate for the sake of it won't take you anywhere.

@mystik @teknomunk @WashedOutGundamPilot
Grab a beer, that's your pussy talking again.

There is no such thing as "Hate for the sake of it". There are things worth hating, and things worth fighting for. And if you cannot distinguish between the two, you are now completely "educated".

@LukeAlmighty @teknomunk @WashedOutGundamPilot America is worth fighting for. But for you to know what I'm talking about you should leave your videogame safespace and live a real life in the real world.

@mystik @teknomunk @WashedOutGundamPilot
Oh realy?
And how do you define this "life" worth living?

Working 9-5 in McDonalds, so I half of my pay will go to gypsies and the other half to a single mother, that decided to live with me for 2 years before she moved on?

Nah, even a lvl80 mage life is better then that offer.

@mystik @teknomunk @WashedOutGundamPilot
You said: live a real life in the real world.

SO SAY IT!!! What life do you mean?

@LukeAlmighty @teknomunk @WashedOutGundamPilot Go rogue. Stop giving a damn fuck about anything that is not being absolutely 100% FREE.

@mystik @teknomunk @WashedOutGundamPilot
Funny, because mere minutes ago, you said, that enjoying my life in the comfort of my home with games is not worth it. You also said, that complaining about the worthless state I live in is also inacceptable, so go fuck yourself.

You woudn't recognise a free man, if he was charging at you with a knife.

@LukeAlmighty @teknomunk @WashedOutGundamPilot

Look, all I'm saying is that you don't know what living in a country without any freedom looks like. Enjoy what you have, what surrounds you, the culture, the principles, the spirit, the opportunities, the people... there are thousands of positive things that you take for granted.
You care too much about what the Empire took from you, what it imposes on you. Stop giving a fuck about those, just ignore the Empire, go back to the natural state of a human being - FREE. If you stop caring about it, if you start focusing on the positive stuff while being absolutely free, then you'll realize how the Empire didn't have as much power as you thought it had.
@LukeAlmighty @teknomunk @WashedOutGundamPilot

Where there's a will, there's a way.
You can stop paying money for that woman, you can find a good job, you can be free. You can do it.

@mystik @teknomunk @WashedOutGundamPilot
You can find a good job
x
You can stop paying for women

Choose motherfucker. As long as taxes exist, both is NOT an option.

What fucking nerve did I stroke, that you're writing me this bullshit? Did I say something that hurt you that bad?

@LukeAlmighty @teknomunk @WashedOutGundamPilot
I don't pay taxes, I use cash and cryptos only. I live in an anarchist community and don't even own a smartphone.
I plan on going live off-grid.
@LukeAlmighty @teknomunk @WashedOutGundamPilot

I'm not accusing you of anything, please don't take it that way. I'd like to see you happy.
I see a lot of people living a bitter life for the sake of compliance or fears of a repressive federal government. That is very sad to me.
I know it's not easy, but being free is possible, it begins in your heart.

@mystik
Well, you went full Karren on me. You cannot say you want me to be free, as long as I don't critiseze gobernment or express negative thoughts.

I love my ability to say what I think. If i'm too negative for you, you know where the block button is.
