Like holy shit. It’s tiring being a leftist, but damn at least leftists have a hope of a better future for the most part, or at least WANT a better future. Chuds on the other hand are like… they think there is no solution to the world’s problems, just every man for himself. Hell, they don’t just think that, they work towards it. Just a life of constant stress and strategic games to fuck over their fellow man so they can consume as much shit and declare themselves a ‘winner’ until the planet burns. No real friends, no real love. Just them and… what, the satisfaction of winning the world’s loneliest prize? Is a species that’s eating itself truly winning?

It sounds so miserable and exhausting.

    The futility of the ritual would drive me insane. Even after you’ve collected all the special totems of masculinity and patriotism, even after you’ve said all the magic words that should set the world right, even after you’ve devoted yourself to every grifter and charlatan, it doesn’t work. It’s a child’s fantasy of becoming a superhero when they grow up, but the superpower is “one day someone might want to fuck me” or “one day my boss will see me as an equal”. And no matter how hard I try to read into why it doesn’t work, the only books available to me are written by the grifters and charlatans playing shell games with words. It’s like the people who devote their lives to a chain of pyramid schemes in the hopes that they’ll get rich quick.

    I was never a chud but around 2015 i was siwlring around in the current of “nonpolitical” chud sewer entrances like cringeanarchy. Just even being around those people actually felt corrosive, like all the “ironic” bigotry was eating away at my ability to see outside that worldview and relate to people who didn’t share it. It was like this ideological moment of “Ohhh, this is a digital trap house and I’ve been smoking hatemeth with nazis this whole time.”

      They’re not real friends is what I mean, they will fuck each other over at the drop of a hat. It’s all transactional. Chuds see friends and partners as people they’ve very intelligently swindled into serving their interests.

      It’s why they think theres some magic phycology code to get women. Nothing is genuine in their world. People do everything because they want to use you.

    Most of them have pretty miserable lives. Divorced, substance abuse, untrusting of even their closest friends, and regularly unhappy with the world. It’s one thing to hold some reactionary views but the ones who can never keep quiet about their politics are on a whole different level that most people can’t stand to be around.
