I saw this :reddit-logo: post and it got me thinking. Maybe it's the intense sleep deprivation, but I can't even muster the energy to be angry. I'm just sad. I know that individual choice is largely a psyop, but if at least a third of the populace actively wants things to be worse, how can we change things for the better? I know that there are many, many loving and wonderful and kind people all around this country. But as we're continually worked harder and harder and grow more and more impoverished, even the kindest souls will burn out. And what are we all up against? Not just the :porky-happy: elite, but the average swine whose main enjoyment in life is pissing off and upsetting anyone who wants things to be better. What can we even do against this?

    CHUDs are the bad guys and love it. However, they get pissed off at say vegans or "Emily" because those people actively show that their surface level "salt of the earth Christian" shtick is hypocritical and shallow. "Emily" and all the "woke do-gooders" are the true salt of the earth, and CHUDs deep down despise the idea of being truly moral.

    Give it some time and CHUDs will start openly admitting that they are evil (and that's a good thing!). At the very least, they won't have the burden of being constantly reminded about their hypocritical religious fervor if they just start calling themselves servants of the devil.

      I have to believe this is why so many weird reactionary men choose grim reapers and the jokester to represent themselves on Facebook. They realize at some level they're just evil, but also want to be cool and admired, but lack the maturity to be normal

        The Joker identification (among other villains) always struck me as odd. Especially when I try to put my head through the minds of some dipshit on /pol/.

        I would have guessed that if anything, chanlords and :grillman: alike would have united to come up with James Bond as their avatar of the right. James Bond is a white anglo man, a supposed "defender of the west" and has fought a ton of Soviets in the films, filthy rich and has the aesthetic of the upper class, he's basically a cop, James Bond is portrayed as having a near unhealthy lust for violence that his job thankfully limits, and he gets laid a ton. He is what 4chan CHUDs think they are.

      Isn't this what they already do via the sigma grindset and worshiping Patrick Bateman?
