 Excerpt from Ted Kaczynski's infamous "Industrial Society and it's Future":

15. Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good and successful. They hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality. The reasons that leftists give for hating the West, etc. clearly do not correspond with their real motives. They SAY they hate the West because it is war like, imperialistic, sexist, ethnocentric and so forth, but where these same faults appear in socialist countries or in primitive cultures, the leftist finds excuses for them, or at best he GRUDGINGLY admits that they exist; whereas he ENTHUSIASTICALLY points out (and often greatly exaggerates) these faults where they appear in Western civilization. Thus it is clear that these faults are not the leftist’s real motive for hating America and the West. He hates America and the West because they are strong and successful.

16. Words like “self-confidence”, “self-reliance”, “initiative”, “enterprise”, “optimism”, etc., play little role in the liberal and leftist vocabulary. The leftist is antiindividualistic, pro-collectivist. He wants society to solve every one’s problems for them, satisfy everyone’s needs for them, take care of them. He is not the sort of person who has an inner sense of confidence in his ability to solve his own problems and satisfy his own needs. The leftist is antagohistic to the concept of competition because, deep inside, he feels like a loser.

 Bloom brother, do it for peanuts. 
 Has anyone else noticed an uptick of scammers on here? 
 Could you renote a few examples in the thread here? 
 Japanese pray, perhaps not in the christian sense, but they certainly pray quite regularly. 
 And by far right they mean normal people from 10 years ago.

 Our Taoiseach (Prime minister)  in Ireland is called Harris and I would honestly mistakenly assume that people were talking about him even though he is an inconsequential eunuch.

 Kieth Starwars is a proper nutsack. He has a nefarious shimmer to him that I find lacking in Harris, her's is a goofy aura. 
 I could forgive people for thinking that.
