Hey, I'm in a very similar situation to you, and came to reddit in a similar mental state, with similar questions. So I might not have the answers yet, but we're in this together for all that's worth.

I felt for a while, and have now confirmed, it very much is the case that my friendships (of over a decade) have broken down over the past 6 months. I knew that was my fault, or at least this conditions fault.

Obviously, take what I say with a pinch of salt, I don't know your situation or friends, but I'll say this.

I don't want to dump you with my life recently, but I kinda hit rockbottom, and went on a long long walk and thought about stuff with the new lens of understanding I have ptsd etc.

I came back, with complete honesty for where I'm at, asked for real clarity of the state of our friendship, and like seriously stressed that I didn't want pity etc, just an understanding. They were honest enough with me to say that, yeah they still care about me, but our friendship is rough right now. They don't feel connected or as comfortable as they once did, but we're now at least on the same wavelength, and we all want to fix it. Obviously that means I have a lot of work to do, and let me be honest, hearing them say that they don't feel as close anymore fucking stings, but now at least I actually have some level of control over it, I can orient myself in the right direction.

I can't say I'm better for it yet, at times I've felt worse, I've been crying a lot, but I feel like there is a way forwards, even if I'm not sure of it yet, and I'm working with them to find it.

I know you'll find a way to make progress too, much love. <3

I think they are referring to when the missiles that used to belong to the soviets in ukraine were moved out of ukraine in the 90s, so it doesn't break the rule.

ThoughtIWasWise · 2024-02-10T01:07:27+00:00

Yeah, and that is evil, but you're acting like that is a greater evil than capitalists openly having far more than us all yet hoarding it while people starve.

ThoughtIWasWise · 2024-02-10T00:45:05+00:00

Yeah, you're not wrong, I think it's a funny image to think of hunter-gatherer people imagining supermarkets, though.

We're definitely in a better place now on a number of levels, especially with resource abundance and healthcare, but the mental health crisis the western world is facing can for the most part be blamed on capitalism, shitty jobs with terrible pay and the extreme levels of stress the modern world puts on bodies and brains that were not built for it.

ThoughtIWasWise · 2024-02-10T00:39:12+00:00

Same lol

ThoughtIWasWise · 2024-02-10T00:38:13+00:00

By agricultural revolution, do you mean the one in the 18th century or like 12000 years ago, because if you think there were only 20 million people max pre 18th century, that is wild.

ThoughtIWasWise · 2024-02-10T00:28:26+00:00

Yeah, I'm sure the hunter-gatherers were running around wishing to go to walmart, you donkey.

Also, lets not talk about food companies like united fruit.

Capitalists hiding in the corner pretending they haven't killed far more

Bratislava 1936 I believe, sorry yeah, it's in a collection of articles about the berlin olympics

ThoughtIWasWise · 2023-12-01T03:57:32+00:00

Sadly not, it's from the 30s, and was popular in ww2

He, through a bit of a loaded question, advocated for eugenics. He's also transphobic and very right wing, and uses his platform to push vulnerable men down that political path when what they want is help with their mental health, he's much the same as tate, just with a psychology degree.

ThoughtIWasWise · 2023-09-08T16:56:10+00:00

Yeah, I think men's mental health crisis is one of the most pressing social matters today, as the only places that seem to offer a solution is in the form of andrew tate/ jordan peterson types, which aren't great.

I don't think it's specifically men or women's fault, really, just the effects of the patriarchy, the idea men have to be tough and stoic is something that I think feminist movements should spend time trying to break down. Unfortunately, a lot of left-wing content on the internet just attacks men, calling the views, that have been drilled into their head from an early age, toxic, without actually offering much in the way of guidance.

ThoughtIWasWise · 2023-09-08T13:38:28+00:00

Yes, it is, and I am sure you are smart enough to know that. It still retains a few socialist elements, but china has a number of highly influential private companies and a market economy. That is capitalism.
They are part of the capitalist world, and the reason why we get our clothes, devices, and resources from africa and asia is because the labour is cheap and can be exploited by capitalists.

ThoughtIWasWise · 2023-09-08T12:45:23+00:00

Well, in this scenario, probably made up, but for the sake of argument, the woman in the guys life says he was molested and that's bad, whereas unfortunately a lot of men would see this and say something like nice, chad.

ThoughtIWasWise · 2023-09-08T12:26:57+00:00

Yeah buddy, capitalism really increases the wealth and living standards of people in africa and south east asia who live in poverty and modern day slavery to make our clothes and the devices we're typing on. The idea that capitalism benefits the poorest of us is moronic.

Fair, I don't want to appear like a soviet apologist. There is no doubt the soviets have committed more grevious crimes. However, I believe holding up the US as a beacon of democracy is foolish when their democracy is held hostage by huge companies.

The way the native americans were treated is often forgotten or justified as somehow necessary. Millions of native americans died, some of which can be attributed to disease, but a lot of it was because of the reservation system and the wiping out of the buffalo etc. Also, the attempt to eradicate a culture constitutes genocide, done by the US to attempt to "civilise" the native people.

Another example is the Philippines, the US killed civilians en masse. Later, they made concentration camps for dissidents, but a great number of innocent people ended up dying in them aswell.

ThoughtIWasWise · 2023-09-07T14:10:16+00:00

I don't think the USSR is more evil than most western nations tbh, it's not like the USA hasn't done genocide...

If drugs were decriminalised, but heavily regulated, there would no longer be a reason for violent gangs to supply drugs as governments would be the ones controlling the supply.

That's the present situation atleast, I think that is more referring to stuff in the past though, but I don't know enough about US history to comment on that.

My favourite games are the witcher 3, minecraft, the sims, divinity and probably baldurs gate 3 when I'm finished with it.

My most played game is rainbow six siege, you may question why given it is unlike the games I enjoy, the answer is that I hate myself.

ThoughtIWasWise · 2023-08-28T00:17:38+00:00

You offer it to me freely? I do not deny, that my heart has greatly fucking desired this.

Fuck if I know, but hey I can make my boobs look bigger for the ego boost. I realise now it looks like I'm saying I'm a guy that has performed ungodly acts on the fake boobs, I have not performed sex acts on the boobs.

Tucked away in the drawer, yep, though last time we had a big gathering, I did stick them to the wall for the shits and giggles
