How does he react when asked to piss on it to prove his allegiance?
When he has "transcended" to the point that his e-meter barely registers a tick as his children are hauled away, it becomes clear that what he's really performed is not some 200 IQ trickster ruse, but asphyxiation of his own soul in the service of comfort.
"It is the malady of the ignorant to be ignorant of their ignorance." I did not find anything resembling peace until I was able to really internalize this.
> your pity for her becomes a special case of a general pity for humanity
The other possibility is, anger at /disappointment in her becomes a special case of anger at or disappointment in humanity.
The problem is, choosing the better path requires a catalytic event or encounter, and sometimes that just doesn’t happen. Maybe this Yarv response will be that for the author of the email. Hopefully.
The best relationships are the ones that transcend politics & ideology. Rigid adherence to the group becomes groupthink which is also tiresome & fake. As a person in my early 50s, I would recommend a more trad approach - do what is necessary to advance the causes of yourself & your loved ones.
You can be of the world without collusion. Think Ketman or the Power of the Powerless. I work for a super work employer. They pay me good money & good benefits & are generally a fine entity to their employees. They are at the forefront of CRC & all types of diversity initiatives. So, do I walk out the door? Who is playing whom? I get paid & don't believe in virtually anything they support, but quite frankly they don't need me. Would quitting in a huff make a difference? And, where would I go? To another woke competitor?
You're on the ride of life. Enjoy it. You don't have to engage the opposition or enlighten your allies. But - if there is a discernible shift, if there is a chance to throw back the barbarians, you must take it. I don't see this happening, but if I see Julius Caesar on the horizon, I will give up all ideological purity & follow this man to hell.
I like the sentiment and the motivation to stay un-triggered. I can't help but notice the things we once considered un-political are now so obviously political in our opponents' favor that going along to get along just looks like a consequence of our side's defeat already. I guess it could be worse.
Surely the anarch holds something to be sacred?

Clear-pilled sounds like the blue pill from the other end of the horseshoe...
It’s too late to go back — your spirit will be whipped every day. You must act.
I’m friends with about a million libertarians/Libertarians/AnCaps/Agorists on Facebook and I hope this dude is one of them. He alright.
