Have you heard reports from corporate employers in Canada about how they refuse to hire from some universities because of the low hygiene incompetent immigrants that get pushed through there? What happens when all the white men reject the university instead of the other way around? Gay anti white and globohomo corporations and universities crumble because they only have stinky retards left
Some words from Epictetus in his Enchiridion to remember when engaging with folks on the Internet:

4. When you’re about to embark on any action, remind yourself what kind of action it is. If you’re going out to take a bath, set before your mind the things that happen at the baths, that people splash you, that people knock up against you, that people steal from you. And you’ll thus undertake the action in a surer manner if you say to yourself at the outset, ‘I want to take a bath and ensure at the same time that my choice remains in harmony with nature.’ And follow the same course in every action that you embark on. So if anything gets in your way while you’re taking your bath, you’ll be ready to tell yourself, ‘Well, this wasn’t the only thing that I wanted to do, but I also wanted to keep my choice in harmony with nature; and I won’t keep it so if I get annoyed at what is happening.’


10. With regard to everything that happens to you, remember to look inside yourself and see what capacity you have to enable you to deal with it. If you catch sight of a beautiful woman, you’ll find that you have self-control to enable you to deal with that; if hard work lies in store for you, you’ll find endurance; if vilification, you’ll find forbearance. And if you get into the habit of following this course, you won’t get swept away by your impressions.


13. If you want to make progress, put up with being thought foolish and silly with regard to external things, and don’t even wish to give the impression of knowing anything about them; and if some people come to think that you’re somebody of note, regard yourself with distrust. For you should recognize that it isn’t easy to keep your choice in accord with nature and, at the same time, hold onto externals, but if you apply your attention to one of those things, you’re bound to neglect the other.


20. Remember that what insults you isn’t the person who abuses you or hits you, but your judgement that such people are insulting you. So whenever anyone irritates you, recognize that it is your opinion that has irritated you. Try above all, then, not to allow yourself to be carried away by the impression; for if you delay things and gain time to think, you’ll find it easier to gain control of yourself.


28. If someone handed over your body to somebody whom you encountered, you’d be furious; but that you hand over your mind to anyone who comes along, so that, if he abuses you, it becomes disturbed and confused, do you feel no shame at that?


42. When someone acts badly towards you, or speaks badly of you, remember that he is acting or speaking in that way because he regards that as being the proper thing for him to do. Now, it isn’t possible for him to act in accordance with what seems right to you, but only with what seems right to him. So if he judges wrongly, he is the one who suffers the harm, since he is the one who has been deceived. For if anyone should think a true idea to be false, the idea itself isn’t harmed, but the person who has been deceived. If you start out, then, from this way of thinking, you’ll be gentle with someone who abuses you, for in each case you’ll say, ‘That is how it seemed to him.’
I'll take December over July any day. December is the reward, July is the suffering.

Yesterday, a random 6 month old approached me and said "excuse me, sir, but do you happen to be impoverished?" After I told him yes, he said "I could tell lol."
Nice little hunting parcel for sale; $830 an acre, mostly forest, with some natural ponds and tributaries flowing into the Little Black River and a decent little camp.
Commentary from a friend and book club member on Mystery Grove's satire:

They're correct in the universe where "political" solutions are possible. That universe doesn't exist, but they hang on to the delusion because it gives them a comforting feeling of control over the situation, like there's some path out if they play their cards right. They get to feel smart because they're the only ones who can see the narrow path.

The other cohort who talks like this is neurotic right wing parents who can't let go of the notion that status is important. They don't want their progeny to become what they perceive as peasants.

Both are insipid self delusions.

That "Peachy Keenan" account is the worst about this. Spews reactionary talking points all day then sends her son to college because she can't fathom the idea of him not having the status that college entails.

At the end of the day its all just the Yuri Effect: That which you cannot let go of will be used to trap and manipulate you
