What's a person worth without a society to share his experiences with? The drive for loneliness in Post-Modern society.

submitted by HibikiBlackCaudillo from self.conspiracy

A lot of people get lost in their lust for money and conforts. While It's true that some people are satisfied with an hedonistic way of life, a lot of people also feel a huge emptiness even if they are succesful economically. It's the result of the elite's plan to destroy all meaningful social relationships.

While I myself rather loneliness most of the time, we can't afford to stop fighting for a better community for ourselves and others. Who are we in the end without civilization?

The masses have become worthless moronic scum incapable of sustaining civilization. So the elite want to make them serfs, and the elite have a point.

Civilization and society depend on religion to give it guidance. Without religion, the people just become beasts. So if you want to belong to a meaningful society, find a religious group that you can tolerate.

The problem is that most religions have been corrupted and Christianity being the greatest enemy.

Did Southern Israelite tell you that?

Yes most religions have been corrupted, so you have to look for the exceptions. Christianity is diverse and has some exceptions. Islam isn't diverse enough because Muslims misunderstand what the Quran says about sects. Islam may have exceptions but I don't know of any.

Even Christianity was co-opted long, long before anyone alive today was born.
Some people still carry the knowledge though. It's too bad you've been convinced not to find/see them.

What's an example of a sect or denomination you believe to be "Christianity"?

I struggle with this the most. They do.

We are nothing but beasts without society. We need order and structure, whether that be the worship of some for or gods, or the worship of an individual, or some other system, we always need something to restrain us, to keep us civilized

This seems downstream from the single vs. sharing your life with someone. I don't mind traveling and doing cool stuff alone, but every time I do, I start thinking about how much better it would be to do these things with someone. Unfortunately, my romantic relationships hardly ever line up with points in my life where I have the time or means to go do a lot. Having good close friends is a nice second to having a good relationship. Point is, yeah, life's hollow without people to share it with.

Lots of people? Lots of men.

This is why Jordan Peterson happened.

This is why PUA clubs always turn into let's hang out together clubs.

I mean the first step is making sure you are a decent member of your own family.

To be fair I started a philosophy group in my town centered partly around Peterson, and it wasn't only men joining.

Can confirm. Threw it all away and went on a search to find meaning. Turns out that people and family were the answer. Plus some other stuff.

Who are we in the end without civilization?

Brutal. That what we are, down deep. Tribal and brutal to outsiders that are not attractive.

RIP femcels.

But more seriously, look what we get when we're not brutal to outsiders.

I've always had a hard time balancing career and social life. It seems I either had a shit social life while doing well in my career, or my career came to a halt while growing a meaningful social life. I'll definitely take the later over the former, but you still need resources to maintain your life. The hard part is finding a living that's stable and provides without consuming all of your time and energy.
