Ever since I've come here I I've become more hateful and angry with modern society. I find myself ever increasingly wishing I was someone else in a different time. I don't want to deal with people anymore, it's becoming increasing more difficult. Maybe it's just leftists that are sapping my energy, i'm not even white and I keep finding myself being pushed more and more to the right, I'm starting to agree more and more with the alt right.
How do you guys manage to stay sane?
Be the change you want to see in the world
I think that everything requires balance. I love this place for its unadulterated content in a world increasingly viewed through lenses provided to you. But this comes at a cost. Think about other things that you enjoy that may balance out the acidity of this place. How much do you read? How many mountains have you climbed? Have you MADE anything recently?
I try to read whenever I have free time. Last things that I read was the meditations and I'm currently reading a pdf on marine warfighting
I try to be but it seems that the world fights you for not assimilating but I guess anything good is worth fighting for.
Tldr:distract yourself from your bleak existence and inevitable death. I'd rather stop distracting myself and find an outlet to make real change.
labeling yourself as alt-right is retarded
people have always been manipulated and the ones being able to understand their system either take it to their advantage to break free or bring change.
life is beautiful but most people are indoctrinated to avoid critical thinking, reading, learning for themselves, etc.
Enjoy your life while taking advantage of the system and subtly redpill as many people as possible.
Every new critical thinker or 'awakening' from the system is a new step into the right direction
Then make real change dickshit. I think my chances of accomplishing my goals in life are higher if i just keep doing what I am doing and not kick in teeth. Find something you are effectual at and do that.
/pol is fucking retarded, all of the shit here is just as distorted as the bullshit media
go out and live in the real world
stop only reading brietbart, drudge, start reading other news as well
stop being trump's cuck
stop going on pol
start doing things with your life instead of moping around about what society is and isnt.
you can control yourself so lead yourself in the way that you think is ideal
seriously, leave /pol if it's having this effect on you, it's cancer
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
OP, my view is that memetics, while being a meme, is a very real phenomenon.
Disparate groups surround themselves with inflammatory content all the time which does keep them "informed", in a way, but also stirs up their emotions. Why? Emotions = clicks. Before you know it, you've got people so riled up that they're willing to hurl abuse at Trump supporters, or cheer on a barbaric attack as long as they think it will make Muslims look bad, or in some cases even commit those monstrous deeds themselves for the sake of some ideology.
The problem here is that the market demand for emotion places a reward on sensationalism. If someone founded a news service whose purpose was to be as cold, objective, analytical, and aloof of politics as possible, do you think that would get traffic? Someone could create that, but it could hardly hope to compete with Sup Forums's allure for right-wingers, or Reddit/Facebook/Salon/whatever for leftists, or jihadi forums for Islamists.
I don't believe in the "fake news" narrative being pushed by the old media. I think it's highly uncalled for given the current political climate and it will do more harm than good. Besides, everyone already knows those buzzwords are really about protecting specific types of views. What we really need is a sort of bottom-up effort by everyone to take it easy on the hatred and dehumanization of others. This is a moral issue which the market cannot fix.
In a productive manner, not in a radical or extreme manner.
Focus on your own personal health and education so that you can contribute to society in an optimal way.

i keep hoping that one morning i'll wake up to find myself sometime in the 18th or 19th century, to find that it was all just a bad dream.
Exercise, eat healthy, and abstain from pornography.
Failure to do any of those three will bring much more suffering than reading Sup Forums, I guarantee you.
Also, don't drink too much.
>i'm not even white
Fuck off
>I find myself ever increasingly wishing I was someone else in a different time.
Tough shit, you get to be you right now. You don't even get to be you from 10 minutes ago, or anybody else in this given moment.
You get to be you, right now... so do something with it.
Seconded on abstaining from porn.
If you want to amplify your life, get into reading select novels (fiction and nonfiction). You retain and internalize the information (and stories) better than any reddit post or catchy meme.
Read the following book to get excited about the history of our nation, and not only that, excited about the future.
Sup Forums is my social life now, so overall i'm doing pretty good. no where else on the internet is as smart or funny as you guys
this is an insightful post.
Your question is wrong or absurd.
Why fight the inevitable? Get insane.
Take Sup Forums with a grain of salt. While a lot of what people say on it is true, it's usually exaggerated for comedic effect. I wouldn't let it make you eternally paranoid. Most the things on here are true. But quite a bit still remains to be just paranoid delusions.
Just take it to yourself as hearing things from the other side. Alternate viewpoints to the mainstream. It's good that your critical but don't become an obsessive cynical. Trust me, if you spend too long and delve deep, it can really get to you if you take it 100% seriously.
Channel your hatred into something productive like learning a craft.
I'll give you a tip, OP, because you got some sweet numbers. I, too, fall to this disillusionment sometimes. Here's something that helped me...
I have a person in my life I call my "canary in the coal mine." He's a total normie and I'm a total autist. Has a family. Has a great job, etc. He's someone that, like me, is on the right in philosophy and general thought and beliefs and how they live their life. His mind is not as extreme as my mind (which, over time I've come to admit, can be just as much a flaw in real life as the reactionary leftist). He has, you know, stuff to lose.
I often use him as a gauge. I'll ask, "hey, what do you think about (x)?" If his position on it falls generally along the lines I'm thinking, then I know I'm usually okay. If his position is radically different, it doesn't cause me to change my position necessarily, but he often makes me pause and think the whole thing out more. To at least make an attempt to step back and see things from a more rational point of view.
This isn't a perfect fix and it doesn't always work but, for the most part, he's been a great canary in the coal mine for my own sanity. It may help you.
TL;DR: Just find someone, anyone, in real life, you trust to talk about your ideas and who won't ALWAYS confirm your bias.

>Stay sane.
HA, Good joke.
>not white
use the knowledge about leftist psychology you've learned here to get ahead
they'll trip over themselves to hire and promote you if you're well-spoken and reasonably confident
that's what i'd do if i was in your position. if i had my grades and test scores as a non-white, even if i maintained my autism, i'd probably have an amazing job by now

I turned to helping people worse off than me , I spend a couple hours a week chatting with homeless people and providing clothes/ washing machine, showers if they want them. if I have need for it I even employ some during tax time when I have the spare dosh and a lot of tax returns to finish , I ask them to do errands / busy work for me. I'v even gotten one bloke a job out of it and it's nice to hear from him now a couple years down the track.
I don't do it to make myself feel righteous, I live alone and I don't share that i do any of this with my friends or family. its a gesture to spread the message not everyone's a manipulative cunt and to help people who are down.
