Great vid, thanks for the recc

no i live on the west of the usa where people are liberal af to mild conservative which means they either think that s*** is a pathetic joke or think theyre disgusting heathens

There's some dark times ahead. A scary future

it’s sadly ingrained in our society
we raise boys to become susceptible to this s*** by selling them this dream of what they can achieve as a man in this power structure and when they realize society is NOT built for that anymore their world falls apart

? because wisdom is eternal

there’s a reason why people still look into the ancients, let alone the extremely old spiritual dudes

they know more than modernity would ever credit them for tbh

yeah i noticed that the sort of spirituality where you have to engage in worship (or actually practice the systems of whatever it is) are usually heavily disparaged

people prefer the toothless deistic forms of it where they can maintain their vices while holding a vague supernatural belief

The who what ? Foh you damn fool

I’m just gonna be 100% honest with you -

I hate who you are as a human being , and I cannot believe somebody like you managed to get married

Don’t see how you can say Scorsese was opposed to the concept of a Travis bickle when he was effectively portrayed as a protagonist who inexplicably gets away with all of the f***ed up bullshit he did and literally smiles as he rode off into the sunset

Such an overrated and stupid movie

I had a big time sexy with u momma bc I remind her of Barack hussein

In “Scorsese on Scorsese” he says that he wanted the audience to share Travis’ bloodlust in the moment and then reflect on how awful and vengeful they could be themselves. Not sure if that changes your opinion though

How could that possibly change my mind ? Since when has intent ever absolved anyone or anything from the objective outcome of their choices or actions

I’ve seen an article where mr. Scorcese bemoaned the rise of Travis bickle types in modern society . It’s like yeah , if that bothers you , maybe you shouldn’t have put the idea that someone like that could be interpreted as some kind of righteous hero into the atmosphere , like ??

Fred hampton , Huey newton , MLK Jr , Malcolm , medgar Evers ,

Why do you need to be influenced , are you not capable of figuring out right vs wrong by yourself ?

So you take issue with the entire idea of an anti-hero?

kids raised deep in the social media era cant really introspect that well i think. like they're more concerned with how others view them than with how they really are on the inside yk? they watch those videos because they need to know how to perform their life rather than just living it. they look for those external sources to teach them how to be bcoz they're completely disconnected from any sort of internal compass

being raised 'right' was the external guidance bro lmao

we rly threw the baby out with the bathwater bro

yeah even as a complete aside that Dark Ages myth s*** just serves to demonize and toss out all of that philosophy and ancient thought and instead buy into the modern mindset of pro-materialism, scientism etc etc

smithsonianmag.com/history/the-myth-of-the-dark-ages-ignores-how-classical-traditions-flourished-around-the-world-180982190

”Traditional narratives cast this period as a dark age of backwardness and barbarism, before the “rebirth” of classical tradition during the European Renaissance. But the evidence suggests otherwise. In the Eastern Mediterranean, the Byzantine Empire dazzled with splendor and sophistication. The Islamic world stretched from Seville to Samarkand and from Mosul to Mali, enjoying a period of unrivaled prosperity in addition to artistic and scientific advancement. In East Asia, the Tang dynasty transformed China, and the Buddhist Srivijaya Empire ushered in a golden age for the Southeast Asian archipelago.”

pretty crazy tbh

all of that ancient philosophy is just repackaged and whitewashed to fit a Western framework and then it’s just sold as a new novel system for meaning cough cough Ram Dass, cough cough Eckhart Tolle and niggas will still think the ancients were r worded

sad stuff

Sad but true, its human nature

Huh? Think you read my post wrong brodie

I wish I could lead by example more but it’s not a lot of people in my life looking towards me as a role model lol

Some philosophies are timeless man lol
