My only regret is only being born with 7 fingers to give…

Correct - forums are a place for people who talk rather than do, because those that do don’t have the time to argue online. Though I shit on all evil, regardless of some arbitrary relation to America. I don’t rely on American news outlets, I watch the global scene. It’s why I understand that America is just as bad as any of the other cartoonishly evil places in the world that people will fall for propaganda to defend.

I think we all know that anyone sitting on the computer talking about activism is here because they’re not out performing activism. This is the place of cowards who talk bigger than they are.

I live in the US, so I know first hand how having faith in anyone in a position of power will come back to bite you.

Only fight the greater evils! Lesser evils should be ignored! The cry of people who don’t understand how greater evils are created.

It makes me want to dedicate my life to fighting the US, NK, SK, and any other government that exploits its people instead of serving them.

Haha, you think I’m afraid of admitting the US is just as bad as NK? Ridiculous. Where do you think they learned it from?

I was never full-on incel, but I was definitely headed down that path. I was a late-20’s fat guy with severe acne all over my upper body, and I’d obviously never had a girlfriend. I looked ahead in life and just saw it going further and further downhill. I tried dieting, working out, etc, but none of my attempts at making a change ever lasted.

One day I saw a facebook post that one of my old highschool classmates had gotten married. The guy looked a lot like me, and at first I was mad - I had that classic incel thought of “why is he successful and not me?” But after sitting in that dark place for awhile, I realized that the answer to that question is that I can be successful! I realized that I’d never tried to put myself out there because I always viewed myself as not being worthy - I needed to be fitter, more attractive, better at talking to people, etc - but did I really? I wanted to find out, so I made an online dating account, cleaned myself up, got a friend to take some nice pictures of me doing things I enjoyed, and put myself out there.

I made a goal for myself to never start a conversation with “Hey” or something similar - I went through every profile I found and picked something specific to talk about. It took a while, and I missed a lot of opportunities by being awkward, but eventually I got good enough at holding a conversation to secure a few dates, and in only a few months of that, I found the woman who is now my wife!

I’m still fat, but having someone to look good for was at least enough for me to shower more regularly, which cleared up a lot of my acne. I’m still pretty awkward, but so is my wife, and we both find it endearing. Life’s not perfect - there are still issues - but I’m no longer looking ahead at my life and seeing only downhill trajectory; I have a sense of optimism I didn’t have before, and it mostly came from me accepting myself. I’m not sure if other incels are the same as I was - not realizing that the one they actually hate is themselves - but I hope that if they are, they eventually come to the same realization that I did: that they are worthy.

It’s amazing how many people I meet who think so highly of the American revolution, but are completely aghast at the idea of fighting against the government now.
