Hey /pol/
How do you battle Red Pill depression? I'm sure those of you in predominately right wing areas don't experience this, but I live in a liberal bubble (NYC) and this shit eats at my soul sometimes. Can't have a discussion without being called racist. The kicker is that I'm black
is this now an Jew York general thread? we had a great one going last week.
I hate this place too and I'm a half Jew. Luckily I'll be the hell out of here in under a year with an engineering job
Lift. Take long, contemplative walks. Take up a meditation routine or a tantric discipline. Pick up a constructive hobby that rewards you for engaging in it, like cooking.
Keep your house and clothes clean and fresh. Offer help to people you think need it.

>The kicker is that I'm black
Nigga... I-i don't nigga I don't know.
your nation isnt destroying itself
i wish i was in your position op, right now i want to die
long live america, trump be blessed with victory
>>55341238
Why precisely do you hate it?
For me, the fact that a lot of the black people here are completely insufferable plays a big role in my loathing. Just this morning, a teacher was taking her students to the botanical garden by way of subway and she had to hold the door to assure that all the kids got on. Some She-beast began to loudly and vulgarly bitch to someone on her cellphone about it; obviously with the intention of being heard by the teacher.
>>55341621
for me it's mostly the lack of open space and real neighbors who speak English (living in a mostly Chinese and dominican/mexican part of Brooklyn). I know how to avoid dangerous areas but I have a craving for nature. I vacationed a lot upstate as a kid and enjoyed it. Not to mention I'm fucking sick of the subway system. And simply being associated with the general trash people think of when they think of NYC
food is the only thing I will miss, it's definitely better than what's available in the suburbs, cheap local food >> fast food
>>55341336
Can't criticize my own race/culture (it isn't technically my culture as I don't wear baggy pants, don't listen to Zionist controlled nogs [ I.E. rappers], and I'm able to string together a reasonably coherent sentence without cursing) because that would be "self-hatred" or "internalized racism". I've heard almost everything from black people on this subject. I was even called a "white sympathizer" once. Hearty keks were had.
>>55341320
I already do most of those things. I have slightly neglected the lifting and meditation though. I'm still in decent shape but I definitely should get back on that. That post-workout high is pretty satisfying.
On a tangentially related note, are there any books you would recommend? I'm currently reading Johnathan Haidt's Righteous Minds. It's pretty good.
>>55341152
I know the feeling.
New York City seems like the center of all degeneracy. All the women are whores and all the men are obsessed with wealth and status symbols.
>>55341871
Iktf.
I tell my girlfriend that I'd prefer to live in a rural area and she thinks I'm crazy for it. Probably going to have to break up with her at some point. I'm not raising a kid in this filth.
>>55341152
I live in a rural area full of rednecks. In some ways as you'd think it's nicer. Everyone is pro-gun, there aren't many minorities, conservative views in general.
Trouble is they're blue-pilled conservatives. They'll blindly line up and cheer for whatever the Republican party tells them to. They're the cancer that is killing conservatism.
Imagine living where everyone agrees with you most of the time- but for uninformed reasons and none of them can actually discuss anything in depth because they don't understand it. It is hard everywhere. At least you have the fire of anger to keep you warm.
>>55342621
I'd like to know precisely when zionists managed to turn all the southern rednecks into rabid israel supporters
>>55342514
whatever you do stay away from Poughkeepsie . I lived there last summer (intern at IBM) and it's like the Bronx but shittier. The whole town is a barren ghetto full of nogs and shitty bars. The IBM people live further out into the country mostly
>>55341152
Move the fuck away to somewhere where you can actually afford a house that isn't full of jews and liberal fags.
>>55341152
I find myself mostly alone, but that is because I am an artist and I have to be around other artists and they are all indoctrinated by the jews.
I tried to voice a bit of concern with one of the more vocal artists I know who is a traitorous scum that wants to sell Norway to the invading horde and the jews behind it, but since he could not refute my arguement he resorted to calling me stupid and began with chronological snobbery. Then his horde of drooling retards came and supported him, except for the only girl in the convo who came to my aid.
There's still hope, but not for all it seems. However, he won't be a loss.
>>55341152
Surround yourself with beautiful things.
>>55341152
Honest question: What does being a red-pilled black man entail?
Also:
>get called racist
>not using your "blacks can't be racist, muh system of oppression blah blah blah" card
>not telling them to check their privilege and self-flagellate to your satisfaction
Bro...
>>55342861
They did it through the Churches. Christian-Jewish solidarity basically.
Muslims becoming the mutual enemy sealed the deal.
>>55342621
Must be really hard to separate yourself from the intellectual chaff when you have to defend point of view to an outsider.
>>55342861
Partly because of Christianity I believe. It's written that Jews are the chosen in the bible so it theoretically wouldn't be hard to get a thumper to adopt a pro kike stance.
I'm here in Portland just biding my time until the Son of Man returns and casts this evil place into the depths of the sea.
>>55342861
It was during the Reagan presidential run, when Reagan sold the soul of the Republican Party to get elected by courting all of the christian faggots who continue to limit and embarrass the party to this day.
I moved to back to Florida from nyc a year ago and granted Florida has its fair share of degeneracy but I'll take crazy meth heads over living in that bubble of insanity.
>>55341152
Embrace it and ride the tiger
You're having problems with Red Pill depression? And you're black?
Try living in Sweden and seeing your country going to the best to worst and watching your women being raped everyday.
What red-pill depression? How is having a good threat-detection-radar a bad thing. I pity those who know something is wrong, but can't fucking pin it down and label it. Like a bad smell in the air.
Me on the other hand see the turd in the middle of the kitchen, and not only that but i've cleaned it up!
I see turds in other peoples kitchens, but that's not MY fucking kitchen.
NYCfag here. Hiding your power level is critical if you ever want to hold onto a job or a woman in this town. I was at the Trump book signing last week and comforted by the turnout, especially the minorities and women I saw there.
>>55342950
Can confirm, Poughkeepsie is hell on earth.
>>55342996
Liberal fags, you say?
>At bar with some friends.
>They start talking about Dan Savage
>They all think he's great.
>I accidentally let my power level slip
>I call him a moronic extremist
>They ask why I say this
>I list off some of his quotes including the "[Green Party Senator] should be dragged behind a truck until there's nothing but the rope"
>mfw they contrive every feeble rationalization imaginable to defend him
>>55343160
>What does being a redpilled black man entail.
Not lumping all whites together and judging them by the actions of long dead people.
Not looking to big daddy gubmint to solve all my woes.
Realizing the toxic nature of African American culture.
Realizing that "racist/homophobe/sexist/bigot" have become little more than silencing tactics now.
Realizing that importing poverty via immigration isn't working towards the betterment of the US, or the world for that matter.
List goes on.
And I actually did pull that card. They just retorted that it was "horizontal racism" or some shit like that and claimed I was "internally racist". They went on to call me self hating to which I rebutted "Isn't the use of the term "self hated" racist in this context? You seem to be implying that my race makes up the whole of my being and that if I criticize those of the same race as I, then I am criticizing myself. Are Muslims who criticize Islamic extremists self hating? Are white ppl who criticize racists self hating too?"
She got frustrated and aborted the discussion.

Anything worthwhile takes effort and time my friend.
>>55344418
> it don't feel like it be winning, but it do
We don't get to see the internal chaos that logic creates in the feels-driven, but trust me, they can't unhear your logic. It festers and burns until it creates changes in them, just not fast enough for you to see.
>>55342950
>>55343880
try going to Newburgh, it's worse.
Fuck NY, i'm ashamed to have grown up in this state. It's a cancer on this once great nation.
>>55344971
emotions are like lampposts - they are a tool meant to illuminate the path to truth.
People get caught up in them when they should be analyzing them at all times and synthesizing them with all of your knowledge.
Truly honest introspection is tough but necessary if you want to be free.
attached pic is something you need to do as well...i just come for the comedy and occasionally to help out or offer advice
cheers OP, i hope what i wrote makes sense to you - it took me a long while but it worked for me completely...
>>55343529
Red Pill depression in this context is the melancholy that accompanies a startling revelation which others around you not only willfully ignore, but demonize you for speaking of.
See >>55343880 . He ain't joking. I let my power level slip several times and it has rarely been met with positive reaction.
>>55343880
I'm actually in the process of red pilling this Irish chick I'm dating. She was massive lefty but after I exposed her to some immigration truths she began to come around. She's dismayed that the American immigration system prevents her from becoming a citizen even though she works and has her masters; all-the-while spics come in with impunity. There was a line from a video I made her watch("The system that we have in place punishes those who follow the rules") that really resonated with her.
Long Island here;
I guess its okay, I'm out of college (which was shite) and at home
>>55341152
Why not move, OP?
My company offered me a fairly substantial raise to transfer and be based in NYC (and I would have come out worse for it with the cost of living adjustment to keep the same sort of lifestyle I have here in Texas), but I had to keep turning them down.
>>55344418
Dan Savage is the most vile human being on the planet, your friends are disgusting.
>>55341152
Just fucking shoot yourself, OP. Now you know how we progressives feel living in conservative shitholes.
>>55345117
This is definitely true. But there are some who kind of "reset" their minds so as to completely reject the input that was given. I once dated this massive lib who honestly seemed like she was tearing herself up inside whenever we spoke politics. She would then ask to change the subject and within several minutes it would be as if it never happened.
>that pic
KEK
>>55345553
Why not move, anon?
>>55345292
I've been thinking about it for a long time. All the bullshit aside, I have some really good friends here and the idea of leaving all I have ever known makes me a bit anxious. But in all honesty I'll probably end up moving within a year or so.
>>55346173
How do we go about meeting like-minded individuals in this Orwellian cauldron?
>>55345553
>Just fucking shoot yourself.
WOW! SO PROGRESSIVE!
>>55346173
>the idea of leaving all I have ever known makes me a bit anxious
New York's the kind of place that's constantly in flux. Lots of people moving in, lots of people moving out. From what I understand, it's rare to be a lifelong New Yorker.
You'll be fine. Move to a swing state.
>>55346448
if all goes well with my interview in a few weeks I might be working at Intel in Hillsboro Oregon.
>>55346325
There are meet up groups. Just the other day there was a meetup at a bar to discuss refutations of common socialist rhetoric. I doubt you'll find one that's actually /pol/-tier but you take what you can get.
>>55346502
Noice
>>55341152
start empathizing with people. that comes from rational thinking. you understand the complex dynamic that has made them this way, and their psychology and cognitive dissonance that won't allow them to judge reality accurately. hating people condescends to yourself, pitying people condescends to others, and empathy puts you on the same level as everyone else, and that's where you find peace with yourself and your relation with everything else
fun fact about new york: george washington contemplated burning the city down because it had the most british loyalists. and i've heard the reason boston and new york have their accent is because of the british influence there, but of course this is after the industrial revolution because from what i've read the british accent was created in the 1800s and the british before then have the american accent we have now. a lot of neat little supposed facts for you all
>>55347460
new york also always abstained votes during the post revolution period. they also shanghied fuckers for the civil war battalions. NY is a dishonorable shit stain of our european colony
>>55344418
I gotta give you props anon, it must be hard. I believe you're making the right decision looking at race from a more accurate, albeit painful perspective, rather than adopting hugbox social identity stuff.
I think you and I think alike on a lot of these issues. Being a white guy on /pol/, sometimes I really want to lean Nat Soc; start a little bubble of like-minded polacks. I used to think that only included white people, but seeing your opinion on the matter and your logical way of approaching race politics makes me feel like drastically reevaluating my opinion.
I've never once hated black people; I go to grad school and sit next to two of the most down to earth blacks I've ever met who genuinely are there to learn. I think the binding force for a new Nat Soc wouldn't be based on race (as Hitler envisioned) but a collection of people dedicated toward establishing, honoring, and protecting Western Civilization.
People ARE waking up, I see it every day; don't give in. Help people understand there's a common goal here, and that goal starts here in America.
>>55341152
Honestly feeling too strongly about this kind of stuff, whether you're /pol/ or an SJW is a sign of feeling powerless and unfulfilled and not having a life.
Really the kind of people who get that worked up about social justice or about some /pol/ opinion are usually unemployed, or work in a shit, dead end, low skill job, or feel impotent about their own life, or have very little social life or romantic prospects or just aren't busy.
Think about it when do you see management consultants or lawyersir entrepreneurs get really really upset over reading a news article about an Arab raping a girl or a tranny getting killed?
They don't because they're too busy and have other priorities and concerns and have a fulfilling base of other interests that provides stability.
Improve the parts of your life that are lacking. When you're closer to being an ubermensch, a good example to other men, then you will be a much more valuable "crusader" anyway. Priorities. Going on the Internet to read articles and image boards is the easy thing.
>>55341152
>without being called racist. The kicker is that I'm black
lol
make a blog or something like Sotomayor
>>55344418
well obviously you are intelligent and they aren't. not much you can do. i think this is a 20s problem. once you get to 30 i think by then you'll have figured out how to deal with it
>>55341152
im interested as well, I live in a liberal safe place
>>55341152
For such an elitist that guy picked a pretty shitty desk.
>>55347682
I'd like to believe that people can only deny the truth for so long. My mother came to America illegal with me in her stomach and I got her to reevaluate her hate towards him after I spoke at length at why he said what he said. There are people who actively shut down when approached with dissenting views though.

I know that feel bro. I live in the extremely Liberal southern part of texas and it's really annoying for me
Being red-pilled isn't just about knowing the truth about what life throws at you. It's also about acting on it.
Using pills as a metaphor, let's dissect this.
>Take red pill
>Gain insight
>Take red pill again
>Fully understand the problem laid out
>Take red pill again
>Find a solution
>Take final red pill
>Take action and use all of the past learning to your advantage
Like when sick, you take medication, but you don't just take one pill and it's over. You continue taking your medication until you're better, then continue after that by taking vitamins and exercise, I.E don't just stop there and then act such as diet and exercise so it doesn't happen again.
Never stop learning, and don't be closed-minded.
>>55342133
Start with the young kids in your family. If they think you are cool (which should occur naturally, everybody loves their uncle/older brother) they will start to think like you.
If you really are a super cool dude, just start slowly with your inner group of friends.
Rather than debate, pretend you just want to find the truth from an unbiased perspective. Once you start infesting in their minds that the only 'cool' thing one can do when it comes to social issues it to approach it with an open mind and unbiased attitude.
See where it goes from there.

>tfw called a tranny "dude" at a party and got chewed out by some other chick.

1. Be civilized. No chimp outs.
2. Date/marry within your race.
3. Have a respectable job.

I've started revealing my power level, and it only accelerates friendships. If you're a liberal faggot who can't have your opinions challenged I don't want to be around you anyhow. If you like having fun and not taking life too seriously, we'll get along.

i rattled off on a rant about dan savage once, after one of my libturdish friends discovered his Q&A appearance on TV over here and thought he was the best thing since sliced bread.
i can't remember the specifics, but i know i blasted my m8 for supporting the disgusting things savage says in the name of "tolerance" and told him that if a straight bloke said that shit about his wife, he'd be screaming MUHSOGGYKNEE til the cows came home. i also fucking nailed him for agreeing with savage's faggot bullshit and how it was clearly an attempt to act like a fucking peacock and parade his tolerance and acceptance around in an attempt to impress me.
this all kind of makes me seem like a dickhead i suppose, but this was a close mate, and him talking about savage was in response to a chat we'd had about another friend of ours who is gay (which i didn't know until i'd already been m8s with him for 6 months because he's not a flaming faggot).
anyway i'm rambling now, i just really hate that retarded fucking faggot jizzwizard with a passion.
>>55341152
I'm going through a bout of Red Pill Depression (RPD?) right now. I would agree that living in liberal areas makes increases its' frequency and strength, but I've had it elsewhere as well. I used to live in Florida and now I'm in California.
As far as I can tell, the only real cure is massive social renewal to more traditional values and a reduction in the overreaching power of government.
Right now we are caught up in several problems with dire consequences:
>a vicious cycle of the welfare state feeding mass immigration, which requires more welfare to deal with...
>general decay in social morals -- it's taboo to even discuss morality nowadays unless you are an ally of degeneracy
>understanding of human dignity being replaced by the "reason" of the liberal elite
>an economic transformation and stagnation as careers are sucked out of this country via outsourcing
Both as a consequence of the above, and of its' own accord, government grows and intervenes in ever more personal ways in our lives. The result is a leviathan which no rational human being -- no redpilled human being -- can be happy under.
good thing i live with da guidoes in brklyn
>>55349911
Top kek, you're alright mate.
Sorry NYC is such a shithole, I might have just had a lot of dumb luck but I've never met an Australian who would flip their shit over something like that. Most people here are very live-and-let-live as long as we have to right to rip the piss out of each other.
>>55343445
Yeah it must be horrible sitting on your ass doing nothing and complaining about it on the internet.
