How many of you are happy? I would say that 90% of you are not. Have you thought of the possibility that your world view and ideology are simply a manifestation of your unhappiness and grievances? That is, you arrived at your beliefs through emotion, not reason.

I'd say that I'm pretty happy, m8.

Happiest i've ever been, OP
how are you?

Good times, bad times, I've never been happy.

So fuck off

i think the root is cognitive disodence and health(atleast health in burger land). We are brought up believe we would accomplish(x) but we fail, that all people treat each as they want to be treated, yet they dont.

Also physical problems often times led to being in pain and in turn, hostil and angry. Most of the time you can boil down american hoatility to low blood sugar and a hangover.

Very happy.
Married, my own house, and studying full time. Will have kids once I'm done.

Shill, either lurk more or allow the kind sir in pic related to shove that bat up your snowflake ass and toss you in the oven you belong.

I don't feel like thinking about this right now.

Other way around, after learning that IQ is the basis of almost all inequality and that most people political beliefs are based on falsehoods about equality, it makes me slightly depressed about it all. Otherwise I'm perfectly happy.

It's the ultimate 'red pill'.

that's good to hear
why do you think that somebody thinking for themselves makes them unhappy?
What can provide a man more happiness than thinking for themself?
I think you're misunderstanding something

I used to be happy, living life like I was innocent and only focused on my goals in life.

But then I stumbled across this board and now I'm literally fucking dead inside and all I want to do is restore national socialism here in Aus so that our nation can become the European nation it once was.

>studying full time
Fucking shill infesting universities. Just grinds my gears.

This isn't politics or news.

Sage and hide.

I was vastly more unhappy as a leftist desu senpai
Sure you're not projecting?

Well I like me and I arrived at my beliefs through finding out what would best explain the things I've seen and experienced.

Not sure about others tho.

Try asking /r9k/ or /lgbt/ the same question. There are a lot of people who fall for the tranny meme purely because they are unhappy and don't know how to get happy.

>That is, you arrived at your beliefs through emotion, not reason.

If that were true, then somebody would be able to offer a counterargument.... But instead we get arguments from emotion, like yours.

First emotion is a part of reason and second I'm happy enough with my life. These two points lead to third OP is a literal labour voting faggot.

But I'm making the case that many people may not be thinking for themselves. That they are drawn towards certain beliefs because of their emotional turmoil.

I would also wager that at the greatest extent, nobody can truly think for themselves beyond their own immediate basic reaction to knowledge and outside phenomenona. Everyone has, to a very large extent, accepted beliefs that they haven't arrived at themselves. For example, you can accept a scientific belief about x, but you haven't personally verified that belief about x. Mostly people will accept it on the basis of who told it them, some culturally significant figure, like a scientist.

Probably. Leftists by almost any measure are worse when it comes to mental well-being.

Wouldn't say I'm happy, but way better now than I was before lurking this board. But that has more to do with my outlook on life and not so much this board.

I was much more nihilistic in the past, now I'm actually hopeful and can find enjoyment.

No, I'm super happy.

Just allow yourself to occupy different universes.

>Have you thought of the possibility that your world view and ideology are simply a manifestation of your unhappiness and grievances? That is, you arrived at your beliefs through emotion, not reason.

No, its obviously the jews making me unhappy

I'm much happier then I was 3 years ago, so yeah, fairly happy

>That they are drawn towards certain beliefs because of their emotional turmoil.
you don't know what someone else is thinking

>literal labour voting faggot
I don't vote.
I'm not projecting, just asking a question based on my observations of this board and other websites that are ideologically similar.
Don't worry, I'm not doing anything related to the humanities or politics.

>Doesn't vote.
>Tells people how to live their life.
Congratulations on the cognitive dissonance. Clearly your opinion is worth less than your life choices.

I'd say personally I have an abundance of empathy and compassion for mankind and my unhappiness stems from seeing lacking love for one another. I see arguments that normies have with each other and how each side is rooted in ignorance and misconceptions and how they shit each other's beliefs, and it hurts. I see people who don't care for books, art, history, or philosophy and are content to just eek out their shitty unexamined lives slowly making things worse for the rest of society.

>I don't vote.
>I have no problem for being decided for, and i do not want to make a decision to directly affect my own life
Cuck

Happy is a concept, not an actual emotion or state of being, faggot. I'm content, however.

Again like the many that have come before you, you seem to think there is a general consensus of ideology on Sup Forums.

Am I happy? No. Happiness breeds complacency and laziness. I am always striving for more, nothing is good enough. Ambition is key to living a long and prosperous life.

That doesn't mean I don't enjoy my life or have happy moments on occasion. I'll only ever be happy in the context that you speak of when I am on my deathbed, surrounded by loved ones and children, safe in the knowledge that not only are they provided for but that I have done my bit to make the society I leave to them better than the condition it was in for me.

How many of you are unhappy? I would say that 90% of you are not. Have you thought of the possibility that your world view and ideology are simply a manifestation of your happiness and platitudes? That is, you arrived at your beliefs through emotion, not reason.

>Have you thought of the possibility that your world view and ideology are simply a manifestation of your unhappiness and grievances?
No, I had my worldview and ideology before I got unhappy. My unhappiness grew the more I found out about the world

Honestly, if i'm content i'm unhappy
i need challenge, danger, and competition to be happy

Those things are not mutually exclusive.

I'm sure that I didn't say anything about how you should live.

>Those things are not mutually exclusive.
who are you, god? Stop speaking for me asshole

This
OP is projecting hard

> r u God?

YES

>Am I happy? No. Happiness breeds complacency and laziness. I am always striving for more, nothing is good enough. Ambition is key to living a long and prosperous life.

There is no contradiction between both.

Voting is a waste of time. I don't agree with the current system and it can't be changed by voting.

This is the exact same way every crooked cult begins a conversation.

Fuck off, Scientology!

Seems like many of you are getting very uncomfortable by having this question presented to you.

>I would say that 90% of you are not.
>your world view and ideology are simply a manifestation of your unhappiness and grievances.
>you arrived at your beliefs through emotion, not reason.
Clearly you didn't read what you wrote or you made an assumption that people should live in a certain way.

Am I unhappy that liberals are waging a war against white men and are actively calling for my extinction?

Yes.

Does this affect my political views?

Yes.

What the fuck is your point?

Of course i'm unhappy, i can't follow my führer because it's illegal for some stupid reason.

That's a chicken/egg fallacy. I'm unhappy with the direction my country is taking, leading me to this ideology. Why would people continue to follow an ideology that always made them unhappy, if it didn't make sense.

I posed a question. I haven't made my position clear on anything or argued for anything. Perhaps you should pass GCSE English with a grade higher than C.

>Seems like many of you are getting very uncomfortable by having this question presented to you.
you write like a creepy out of touch sociopath and this makes normal people want to attack you with pitchforks
get used to it, people have souls and do not wish to be bothered by narcissists like you
I know you're trolling but I want anyone reading this, for the sake of Poe's law, to know that ignoring your humanity and attaching yourself to psychotic beliefs is the core of evil

>Doesn't vote
>thinks he understands anyone else's feelings or though
You just ever think your need to endlessly separate yourself from everyone around you, except when they were similar to you, isn't literal cognitive dissonance and animal wife swap?
Kill yourself. We're better and happier then most people in the world. You don't know shit. And, if we weren't, it wouldn't matter anyway.

You're in the wrong part of town, son

The only happiness I find is when I am actively suicidal or on drugs. =)

Are you honestly trying to say that a question with:
>I would say.
>Have you considered.
doesn't reflect your opinions?

If yes this poses the question: Are you retarded?

Nigger.

Well there is in the sense you seem to be implying in your OP. Perhaps you could clarify. I am under the impression that you seem to think that because many people on Sup Forums believe that our society/cultures/identity etc are under attack that we are unhappy. As such you believe that if we abandoned those beliefs we would be happier in life, is this correct?

Because you are right if that is what you mean. There is a certain amount of happiness in ignorance. For me though I simply cannot in good knowledge abandon the fight against everything that I am simply for a short term period of happiness. I won't die happy if I know that I've done nothing but live selfishly.

>How many of you are happy

married, a couple of children, yeah happy, apart from the mortgage payments

and you'd have to be pretty obtuse not to see the blatant fraud, corruption, and insider dealing currently taking place among the elite

i saw this continuously pointed out by the lefties on my fb feed - until trump won the election. then all the "muh biug banks are evils" was replaced by "AAAAAARRRRGH TRUMP EATS CHICKEN WITH FORK AN KNIFE"

so as far as who is unhappy, i don't think those on the left are immune from creating an emotion based world view. on the contrary, i actually think they're far more likely. especially when you dive into the topic of fiscal responsibility.

How do you ELI5 this point? People believe shit other people have told them.

Yep. You're still in school alright. Does your wife contribute to your studying? Or are you funded by the government?

What are you basing this 90% guess at, emotion or reason?

I'm much happier now that I understand what cultural marxism is. I no longer have guilt to be bullied by it

>Does your wife contribute to your studying? Or are you funded by the government?
kek

tbf you could ask the same of anyone outside the elite who cares about politics at all.

I just to smoke weed with losers and see my life pass me by, live among SJW's and have no future at all. One day I decided to leave the town, and move back to where my father, my grandfather, my grandgrandfather (and so forth, back to the 1400's) came from, the north of Sweden. I decided i would start my own shop (I can't work for somebody, Im way to fucked in the head to take orders from someone else than myself), take over my fathers old childhood home (an old farm) and take it from there. This was 2 years ago, I have no friends left, but I never needed one, i've always been a lone wolf. I live here with my girlfriend (soon to be wife, as soon as the pagan temple on Iceland is finished), we plan to have alot of white children and get away from socitiy all together. I will move my company to the barn (I am an awesome auto finisher) and only do "cool jobs", like old American cars, old bikes and so forth, and only take money in hand, no banks.

So i say, get away. Get back to nature. Find your roots. Is the property prices to high in UK? Then move. You are a European, you belong all over Europa. Start with nothing. Build an empire.

More like a vicious circle.

The underage faggots here are mostly NEET failures who get no attention from women. They therefore latch onto perceived "strongmen" like Putin and Trump, without realizing that in fact worshiping other men is the definition of cuckoldry. The ideology they develop from Sup Forums makes them bitter, angry faggots, and so the circle repeats itself. It's sad but hilarious to watch, and watching it happen is a satisfying way to pass time at work.

This very moment, a little annoyed, but overall I am very happy with my life.

>Have you personal experiences shaped the way you think of the world?

>I would say that 90% of you are not
have you been under a rock for the last 3 months?
>the only reason you don't want your people to go extinct is because you are mad

I would say and have you considered are not declarations. There is imbedded impreciseness in those statements fitting for a question.

dude do you realize that individualism is what it's about, not worshipping the man
you've been brainwashed to think that loving your representatives is worship
holy fuck this country's propaganda is so dank it's turning the leftists into literal facists

Reason by itself is impotent. Emotions give your life a direction. But only by the cooperation of emotions + reason you can actually achieve something. Of course that my worldview is formed by my emotions. Why do I consider degeneracy disgusting? Because it disgusts me.

>happy?
Kids, wife, house by the ocean, own my own business that lets me decide largely my own schedule and affords to put my kids in private school, have hobbies and workout daily while also having creative outlets and having a couple friends i redpill chat with? I'm fucking ecstatic.
>possibility that your world view and ideology are simply a manifestation of your unhappiness and grievances?
This only work if my worldview and idealogy were unable to be held by someone who is also depressed or unhappy.

>you arrived at your beliefs through emotion, not reason.
Sounds like someone doesn't understand reason. It isn't reasonable to personally verify every aspect of life even every time you encounter it you absolute smashing retard. Assumptions based on past events and appeals to relevant and credible authorities are fine for a lot of shit. Especially when it doesn't Fucking matter. If I wake up tomorrow and the world scientists have decided gravity is a push coming from space rather than a pull coming from the centre of a mass or whatever i will have believed something wrong for a long time and besides having to hear about it on fb posts for a few my life would not change.

If you are very interested, and it matters a lot, that's when you do primary research. But if you live your life as a mistrustful idiot regarding everything you'll never get out out of the house.

>There is a certain amount of happiness in ignorance

there is absolutely happiness in ignorance. deciding no longer to accept one's ignorance means you take on potentially a large amount of additional troublesome issues.

i saw this continuously when the brexit debate was on. the left NEVER wanted to debate the systemic north-south divide, and why the Euro absolutely contributes in this regard. they NEVER wanted to debate how to solve it. and should you attempt to explain, it was always promptly ignored.

remaining ignorant is easier, because you don't suddenly having to work out on which side of a complex issue to position yourself - and being aware of the consequences if you're wrong.

commie thinks he adopted his meme ideology through reason, LMAO

Shill thread projecting and trying to demoralize.

SAGE

Happiness is not a binary state
You don't switch "Happy" on or off

I'm super happy. I work at a plant plant nursery in the summers, I'm a beautiful boy, a 4.0 EE/math student with a great girlfriend, and I'm completely self satisfied. In a few years I've become a painter, and a sculptor, and a woodworker, I've traveled, and explored, and now I love life.

And 4 years ago I tried to kill myself. I'd say Sup Forums has brought me nothing but the knowledge that happiness is mine to take. Took the red pill hard and came out the otherside a better person than I ever was before. And now I'm happier than I've ever been.

Nay for it is the opposite. We have found ourselves in a world of insanity relative to out views and beliefs and principles. It is a world we can not live in and the never ending existential crisis drives us to misery.

Would that we could remake the world , but alas we are fucked.

Nope. Its logic.

>Took the red pill hard and came out the otherside a better person than I ever was before. And now I'm happier than I've ever been.
you're doing your land a good service

There is nothing imprecise about having a personal opinion to base questions on. The motive for asking these questions which include a large amount of pre-answered statements is also because of you personal kike opinions.

>nobody can truly think for themselves beyond their own immediate basic reaction to knowledge and outside phenomenona

yes, and no. take the media.

it's true that, given the considerable quantity of information one is bombarded by on a daily basis, that one usually find a medium with which one agrees more than the other. in old days, that means you'd take out a subscription to, say, the telegraph.

that, however, doesn't mean you don't read (say) the guardian to get a more complete picture. and it furthermore doesn't mean you agree 100% with either of the pieces.

I'd be a darn sight happier if fucking pakis fucked off. They've ruined my town with shitty takeaways illegal parking, un serviced cars, terrible and unconsiderate driving, drug dealin, child raping, dog fighting ISIS mutherfucking stinking pakis I HATE THEM !

The key to being happy is not to think of happiness as a destination or goal, but as a side-effect of right thinking.

You can never truly be happy with the world. You can only be happy with yourself and that which is yours.

I'm pretty happy, actually. I feel like I'm in on a joke that no one else gets. My worldview has given me ambition and fire. I love God, I love America, and being a neighbor to all my fellow Americans gives me deep internal gratification. Trump is President, my gf and soon to be wife is white, and life is good.

>shill thread
For?
It's not like Sup Forums is actively planning something right now or that there is anything important happening.

>raised by parents and teachers telling me I COULD BE ANYTHING™
>grow up
>end up a failure

I mean, sure, I'm content with my life and my wageslavery, but I'm more salty that I was lied to for so long (and that I actually believed it at one point).

This works for all of Sup Forums though, regardless of ideological view. If people were living fulfilling lives then they wouldn't be here. We don't care about this stuff because we're unhappy, we care about this stuff because unfortunately we have the luxury of not having something more mundane to worry about (kids, wife etc.).

The government does not fund studies here, they give you a loan, which is then paid back automatically after you earn a certain amount. She has a massive inheritance, that's how we bought our own expensive house while only being 25. We are going through a process now to purchase several apartments to rent out. So yes, I earn nothing right now, feels great to have such an amazing woman that supports me in everything I do. Most of you will never meet a person like that, unfortunately. An extremely close bond like that is rare.

>Shill thread

huh? i actually think it's worthy of a debate. what else is happening?

>Most of you will never meet a person like that, unfortunately. An extremely close bond like that is rare.
I would not wish to be around any woman who is attracted to your type of personality, and I never will.
Whoever you are, I know you're woman is a piece of shit and I wouldn't want her to bear my children.

*your woman

I'm not sure why you think I'm a communist. I'd describe myself as a European nationalist.

>If people were living fulfilling lives then they wouldn't be here

that's simply not true. your partner and you don't have to be inseparable. during the evenings, she might want to watch some crap on tv while i read a book or waste some time on 4ch.

other people browse from work. just because someone finds 4ch of sufficient interest to spend time on, does not mean s/he lives an unfulfilling life.

now, if you talk about EXCESSIVE amount of time, that's quite a different discussion

Optimism is cowardice.

Unhappy people are the ones willing to look to unconventional solutions. If the current social order had left someone feeling happy, why would they ever want to change things or deviate from that established order?

Only unhappy people become revolutionaries because only unhappy people aren't blinded by a desire to preserve their status quo of happiness.

Oh and tangentially related: I know some antifa irl. Most of them hate themselves and their lives even more than we do. So, same shit.

NEEEEERD!!

You don't know anything about my personality, nobody knows what I'm truly like other than my parents, wife, or close friends. Everyone else sees a mediated form.

Yes I consider how my personal life colors my politics every day, I consider if and when I am wrong deeply every day.

I very much doubt you could be a harsher or more astute critic

Too early for this edgy faggotry m9

Absolutely. As the saying goes "ignorance is bliss".

There are times when I genuinely do wish I could take the blue pill and just live without a care in the world that is greater than paying bills or putting food on the table.

But you can't turn back once you become aware of the real plight our society and people are in. As I said in a previous post the only time I want to be happy in the way OP is talking about is when I am dying and know that I have done my part to remedy the ills of our society.

> nobody knows what I'm truly like other than my parents, wife, or close friends. Everyone else sees a mediated form.
>mediated form.
Exactly. you're superficial, ignorant, and narccististic. Do you think I lack common sense like your cult you hang around? I don't need to give you a second chance and decide if I need to like you. Life is short and there's 7 billion people. you're just another parasite based off how you described yourself. Any woman who doesn't respect herself enough to want to be around someone who acts like this OP is not going to be my woman.
A woman should crave ambition, strength, and being a good person, not your shitty ideas

>you arrived at your beliefs through emotion, not reason.
you don't know shit about the internet and its people.
