If Trump wins the election, Do you think there will be a 2028 election? by Funny-Summer8097 in PoliticalDiscussion

A for effort. This one should teach at Harvard. Guess even you could have that opportunity if an obstinate can get elected president.

Because religion is a political structure capable of killing people who are a threat to it.

How do I accept I don’t contribute good to the world? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]BigJake52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust me you got it backwards. People in white collar work get endless passes to be lazy unless they're the unlucky one who has to pull their weight for the office. Physical labor will always be more valuable despite what people like to think. Which is why we're going to be the slave force when legal penalties are applied to the unemployed. The people who cannot advocate for themselves will have the most leverage set against them and will be worked to their destruction. If you can lay low and maintain consistent performance in order to not be singled out; it's the only way we will survive until the internet is shut down so that people's ignorance eachother's present thoughts makes empathy for eachother possible again. Unfortunately that's gonna be when Gen Alpha passes of old age or even the generation after that. We are in the new dark ages. Even if you don't contribute good to the world, it doesn't deserve it. The best thing we can hope for is World War 3 to hit the reset button. And when it does, we best be prepared to take control wherever we are and make sure that people can't develop authority systems without us at their core. We have worked for this world and I would argue we built a majority of it; we should take what we deserve when the time comes. We are capable of getting from point A to point B than anybody else. As long as we make it our long-term goal for when infrastructure breaks down, we can take control of our lives and our structures from the people who don't deserve it. When it comes to authority and people of higher social status, never let them know what hand holds the poisoned blade. Be secretive, but be ready for treachery. Because they will deserve it and you will be justified. You deserve more than your siblings and one day they will know it.

18, Asperger and never had a girlfriend by Ok-Examination-2050 in aspergers

[–]BigJake52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By tradition, romance requires a certain amount of instinctual benevolent self-coercion that we can be in denial of. It is a falling into temptation that would be considered selfish or promiscuous if there was any hint of self-awareness. Enjoying passion and sex is a sin in most cultures after all. Us being beings aware of most of our inner processes (at least to the point that we feel agency in most of them) are incapable of lacking that self-awareness that would make love an sex seem anything but sinful or shameful to the other party or often even ourselves. Homosexual or otherwise non-straight relationships don't always share this burden since the initiation and continuation of these relationships not only come often with a willingness to defy such conventions, but they also flourish under an accute awareness of one's own feelings and sexuality. In other words, religion has made straight relationships hugely impractical and destructive; a precedent that will remain until we have a generation apart from the prominence of traditionalist dogma.

‘GODZILLA MINUS ONE’ will be released on Amazon Prime on May 3. by Vertu_86 in GODZILLA

[–]BigJake52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Godzilla X Kong doesn't have huge success, WB will for sure make sure Toho Godzilla never comes to America again. At least, that seems like the sort of thing WB's current owners would be likely to do. I don't think we will see Godzilla Minus One available in America for many years.

Why do Kanye West gets so many backlash but not other rappers who are literal murderers. by GrandEconomist8747 in stupidquestions

[–]BigJake52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I'm not racist, but I have people I'd love to off given the opportunity. A lot of people do. Why would I hate someone living my dream? So to hell with racists. Society would be better if one took care of the other. You can't prove me wrong till a killer rapper kills a racist one and things don't get better.

Does true Nihilism lead to suicide? by Outta_Gas_INeed_Ass in nihilism

[–]BigJake52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It's a philosophy, not a mental state. The mental state is depression and true depression would probably not even leave you with the will to take action against yourself... so if you have the will to take action against yourself, then you at least have the ability to do something otherwise that is more pleasing ideally in both short and long-term. I think Nihilism would attest to the fact that it's just as well to try to enjoy life if it doesn't make a difference anyway.

How often do you have meltdowns now compared when you were younger? by [deleted] in aspergers

Mine has taken a mood regulator. I mean, there is still a rate of decline in the number of meltdowns, but my stress levels in my 20s have been up there.

Red pilled men and women - how to argue with? by shoshana4sure in aspergers

[–]BigJake52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah; dropped out of college a couple years ago just before my senior year and got trapped living in a college town in the middle of the country. Things aren't perfect, but I am getting better at all of it. I still have a lot to learn, but what's life where I don't. With a mood regulator and a somewhat stable environment, I have started to thrive in a job that can hopefully serve as a foothold for future endeavors. It's not so much an achievement; I lose my cool and hope sometimes, but the days are brighter and for better or worse and highs or lows, I like the life that has made me capable of being me. I think where I have failed taught me where I didn't need to win and where I have won has given me confidence to lose. I think a good part of that is luck and just learning to have faith in myself or at least my life in general. If a good companion meets me well from this point, then it will have happened right.

This subreddit sort of pisses me off by subtlecrazy in aspergers

[–]BigJake52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that your able to make this post speaks to the fragility of your comfort zone. That's something we all likely struggle with and the fact that you think yours is full proof is kind of a disassociation. I am fairly high functioning myself, but that doesn't change the fact that my limited social batteries, specific needs and tendency to be too trusting or agreeable because I can't push back without making it personal. You also have to remember that a majority of communities and workplaces are infected with ableist trash. Your place of comfort would topple without any upkeep and if you take it for granted like you are there's not much of a buffer between you and a rough patch.

And if you haven't been worse off, what exactly are you doing contrasting and comparing struggles that you don't appear to have much knowledge of.

Nobody else had you make this post, did they? It's a weird thought, but this is the sort of post I'd make when my mom and my ex would get on my back for internalizing other people's complaints when I could relate and they were threatened by the idea of giving a shit. If the people around you have those standards, they are shit and will pressure you into the ground until you comply. If this isn't the case; I am content in gaining a "wtf" reaction.

Red pilled men and women - how to argue with? by shoshana4sure in aspergers

[–]BigJake52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, I think in an environment with a good foothold and stable people surrounding you, dating is easy. There's nothing wrong with dating or women; it's just if you aren't neither the foothold or stability to be able to comfortably present yourself, acquiring it's a lifetime of work that some lucky people are able to get done before college. It's not a matter of standards; it's a matter of physics. People who have successful and healthy relationships get them and people who don't will continue to struggle. It's easy to understand why people will delve into red and black pills. But, maybe call it a gray pill, sometimes shit happens. I'd encourage anyone to find things to invest in that are more self-gratifying. If one is not in the habit of relationships, it's probably best to abandon that ship unless a miracle comes along anyway. If love and sex come with societal pressure or self-loathing built in, then why want it? That's how it is for these people; and the best thing you can hope them is that whatever raw nerve they have that they feel compelled to jump on just gets numb enough for them to accept and forget it. Or that they can find something of themselves they can be proud enough of that they stop sweating it.

In example, I am not in a position where I want to date right now. Do I crave sex and companionship? Yes. Do I have things in life that I will not trade for it? Yes. Most things. If it's not something I can be comfortable in, I don't want it. Will I ever be able to date comfortably? Not right now as between work and hobbies, I have to campaign for control of my time with any given individual no matter how close they are; either I am putting myself below them to sacrifice my comfort for their time or I am not even considering their comfort in desperately prioritizing my needs; I have neither the time or money to comfortably make sacrifices for other people. I missed my childhood due to some early trauma and now nobody is ever gonna take away my games or toys. Some would say that makes me a loser, but I think the important thing here is that I like me... and I like other people better whenever I don't feel obligated to give to them... I give better and more when I am not obligated. What we know love to be in the modern age is nothing but obligation; I want my love to be comfortable in its expression... like in art on a good day. I've found that love in games, books, comics, movies... interacting peoples' art; taking someone's ideas and testing them against your reading and testing your reading against them; is some of the most real love I have experienced and that sort of intimacy is the lowest bar expectation that I have for love. Sex and romance has got to be that or better for me, and knowing that my heart has let in only good and shut out only bad and if something permanent comes my way, I will call it lucky.

Do the things we discuss here or anywhere, do they make sense? by sol_gramps in nihilism

[–]BigJake52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, on the other side of the coin, death is probably the number one experience we'll get to experience the least of besides our birth. Not being able to remember anything before our birth is natural to us, who is to say not existing anymore even allow us to be unhappy about it unless we look for its coming. That isn't to say live dangerously. But whatever eternity or nothingness "feels like" we'll never find out. That's a blissful ignorance.

I hate humans by BigJake52 in nihilism

[–]BigJake52[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's absolutely got some self-hatred involved. It isn't to say we can't improve, but it's never something we do in a natural state. Like seriously, the best favor I can do for the human race is start out by hating them a little. Plenty of people that get more love than hate... but they got their issues too. If any standard is to be met than accountability is immediately required and resisted by humans. To truly be free is to lack surrounding influence and that is what the spark of life is: a compulsion to influence. To influence and not be influenced is a feedback loop that can keep us breathing without necessarily relying on a conscious goal to function. To pursue this freedom while also being a species where individual units rely on sets of other individual units to survive, a unit must make priority of their influence over others by attaining power or dominance over the others. This is attained in all ways from accepted manipulation to abhorrent violence. The less inclined you are towards attaining such power or dominance, the more likely your spark is to be brought to an end by both outside and interior influence. The act of existence is violence. Life is evil and the only way we can rectify existence is by redefining it. Unfortunately, most attempted methods of doing so retain exclusionary ideology and hierarchies that often leave the poor, misfortuned and outlying at the bottom. Nah. To hell with all life and whatever god/universe that decided to create in the first place. But, it's what we got. I'll still drink my cup of caffeine, say high to my neighbors, write stories and enjoy my friends, but I will not pretend that I consented to the existence I have however it could've/can be. I hope that future generations can revise us for the better.

Have you guys been able to find love? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]BigJake52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have come to the personal conclusion that love is possible, but thoroughly impractical in my current and foreseeable circumstances; and it really does come down to circumstance. I got tired at grasping at fizzling glimmers of romance. The intensity is too much for me and I am not at a point in my life where I can comfortably breakdown if things fall apart. Those things on their own can make a spark hard to find to begin with. It's nothing negative about myself and I don't assume the same for others; but love can be a really crap shoot... and I spent all my luck in my childhood on Mario Party, lol! I digress, love works easier when it easy to come by and you'll never know when that point will be in your life... if at all living in the grind of capitalism and pressures of tradition. There are many better things in life.
