His understandable reaction to that realization was "Screw that!", which in turn led him to abandon his old, hated-filled way of life.<br /><br />I certainly agree with the statement you made about hate taking a lot out of a person. As an adolescent (and for quite a few years thereafter), I tended to be pissed off about pretty much everything, which ultimately seemed to accomplish little more than giving me a lot of headaches (literally!), and making me worry about what I was doing to my health in the long run. Given some of my grievances at the time, I often wonder if I would've allowed myself to become involved with the manosphere had it been around then, though ultimately I don't think I would've, having never seen "a return to traditional gender roles" as the solution for all (or, indeed, any) of my problems. Instead, Marxism was more my thing (I embraced it, ironically, just a few months after the Iron Curtain came down - go figure), and I have to admit that I still sort of miss the excitement that adopting such a visionary political philosophy once gave me. Politically, I still consider myself more on the Left than the Right, but arguing about the finer points of capitalism or US foreign policy just doesn't have anywhere near the same exhilarating feeling that holding a utopian political philosophy which explains <i>everything</i>, and enables you to feel superior to all the sheeple out there, does (part of me can actually relate to the arrogance of many manosphereans (infuriating as it is) as I've been there myself; it's just that the "red" thing I swallowed was something different).Zosimus the Heathennoreply@blogger.com
