I imagine him all frustrated trying so hard, regurgitating theory quotes with glassy eyes and everyone going "OK, CIA brat" under their breath
Really sex pest behaviour.
Oh no, friendship... with feeemales! The horror!
Seriously though it fucks me off when making friends with women is treated like a bad thing. Like I get it, he wanted to pick up chicks but he still shouldn't consider their friendship 'worthless'.
I expected a manipulative shit that tells people what they want to hear in order to get on their good side. So I guess it fits lol.
Talking to a crowd and talking to individuals are somewhat different skill sets. He got popular by being deliberately vague and promising shit he clearly never intended to keep, which wouldn't work as well in a face to face context where the people he was trying to impress knew more about the subject.
Likely his pseudo intellectualism helped to use vocabulary that was vague
I mean to be fair he isn't saying their friendship was "worthless", just that the strategy of picking up a surface level understanding of theory or intellectual subjects to seduce women (AKA pickup artistry) is "worthless" and ineffective. Which I guess is a semi revealing takeaway that he views that as the moral of the story...but its such a small quote I don't want to read into it too much.
Lets be real though: they weren't actually "friends" either.
True, true. I think it's the deceptive intent in general that pisses me off, though.
Now look, we all have different opinions and come from different walks of life. Some people are fatcel, others are thincels or gymcels. But it's important that we all can come together and recognize that we can't get laid because foids want to fuck Chad.
I do not believe we are divided into incel America and chad America, but rather, that we are the United States of America
Honestly, it is much better in life to to make social and emotional bonds with people in mutual trust and respect than to think using the conditioning of society in order to create new proletariat
Let me be clear, in reality uh..... the laborer belongs to capital before he has sold himself to uh capital. His uhhh economic bondage is both brought about and concealed by uhhh the periodic sale of himself, by his change of masters, and by uhhh the oscillation in the market price of labor power, my fellow americans.
This almost perfectly encapsulates him. Really, the picking up of various theories and ideologies to try and win favor with the audience that actually enjoys said work, only to discard it the instant it is no longer useful to him would make for a great summation of his career. It's why when he has to make a statement that is actually original and his own, or that someone asks him to make, it is so void of substance (more recently, telling NBA players not to boycott but to VOEETT?) He's an empty vessel.
This is also definitely a guy who would have looked up pick up artists if they were more prominent at the time. Real sex pest energy.
As somebody who met all of these guys at my university, my initial reaction was "ugh, who falls for these dweebs" but then the majority of a nation actually kinda did
Obama is to politics what Michael Jordan is to basketball and Tiger Woods to golf
Hes far more a brand than an ideologue
"Ethereal bisexual" is simultaneously insulting and goals, I'm gonna have to unpack this one.
There isn't anything more simp than copying someone's political views to try to get into their pants imo. Maybe negging's worse, idk.
I didn't "copy someone's political views to score" but a smart girl from highschool, too out of my league, made me curious about all this. I was confused and horny, but took my time to find out what the hell all this meant.
You can't, he is protected by the Horny American Service-Members' Protection Act
I wish I could tell you - I've always found them frustratingly hard to spot until you're a few sentences deep and suddenly you realize you're going to be stuck in this conversation for the rest of your life unless you can make eye contact with the person who brought you here and oh God now he's onto Hillbilly Elegy
I say this unironically. With the advent of artificial insemination, as well as recent evidence pointing to the idea of social factors, there is no need for humans to reproduce or have sexual thoughts or desires. Sexual thoughts and desires are the root of capitalism and fascism
There’s no “fun” in physical attraction, which is a myth and has been propagated by the ruling class btw. You shouldn’t look at a human and feel physically attracted to them, ever
we have like 3 or 4 posters right now all on the weirdest fucking bits and I don't know if we're just blessed or getting targeted by an op
I could see someone unironically drawing these conclusions if they were asexual.
I've met a few ace people and none of them thought being attracted to people was a myth propagated by the ruling class
They were adults though
Man, I believed you when you said it was possible to be a Christian and a leftist at the same time. But here you are, with the same weird beliefs that I had back when I was indoctrinated.
This has nothing to do with religion. I just don’t trust myself to have physical attractions
It really does feel like you've taken Christian hangups about sexuality and just substituted Satan for Capitalism
I don’t leer at people anymore, but I do occasionally make semiconscious glances
I'm reminded of that bit from the South Park movie where Stan decides he'll "become political too" so Wendy would like him after the original character inspired by Les Miserables impresses everybody. When I first saw that I couldn't help but think...is this what people who stand for almost nothing believe is the primary motivation for people to get into politics? Getting laid? It's pure naked Gen X cynicism, and learning about this Obama anecdote surprises me not at all.
obama cant be a gen x now can he, he's born in 61. he's a big ol boomer.
So he's saying he's read all that theory and still was a fucking lib as president? He doesn't even have an excuse!
Hard to say, i'm fairly sure Harry Potter was published after they hooked up.
Victories like these are crucial to the ongoing success of the volcel movement. No war criminals can stop us
