then just fucking do it you spineless fool

GO OUT AND LIVE YOUR LIFE AND GTFO OF Sup Forums FOREVER

Kind of.

Democracy requires all sorts of mind control techniques being used on the populace. Depression is a more desirable outcome than rebellion.

Yep. When society finally collapses we'll go back to this. Absolute barbarism. As it should be. Civilization breeds decadence, laziness and degeneracy amongst other things.

There are many factors here. I'll try and list them.
Things that contribute to hapiness and mental health.
Diet, natural pro-biotics, pre-industry farming was healthier.
Physical activity gives you a natural "high".
Physically fit people are generally happier than unift normies.
Working every day for survival makes you take pride in your work and you feel good knowing you did something for your tribe each day.
When you met foreigners you didn't like you could just kill them.

I feel like modern life is just us fighting back our barbaric impulses all day. That's why we're all so stressed and anxious all the time.

Humans were never designed to live in communities of more than a few hundred people. We have been fooling ourselves for a long time about what a successful civilization looks like, and despite all the material wealth, it isn't capitalism.
>Live on a planet with finite resources
>Have a socioeconomic paradigm that is entirely reliant on infinite growth or it collapses
>Don't control the population whatsoever and just hope for the best

And yet people on this board still can't admit that despite all of our so called 'progress', that absolutely none of it was worth it; western civilization put itself in a complexity trap of it's own making-'progress' and economic growth is now directly tied to destroying the very environment that has allowed us to prosper in the first place. It is an unseen mental illness that is so normal that people no longer question the viability of it, and why would they? Most people here in America have abundant food, entertainment at their finger tips, and can go just about anywhere on the planet. Too bad that we have already polluted the planet so badly that it will not be viable for us to live here in a few centuries, and the fun hasn't even started yet!

The crop cycles are already starting to change with the shorter winters, and droughts will come like never seen before in living memory with the long, hot Summers. It's over, but despite my long winded post, people will still deny that Western civilization is a meme; just like all civilizations before it.

Spot on. I'd say we just aren't ready for modern civilization, if ever. Barbarism is the natural order of things. You can see Barbarism in action today. For example, look at say; Football/Soccer teams. Each team has a set of supporters or, tribe of supporters sporting their teams colors cheering on their "tribe" to victory. That's just one example. Barbarism is our natural state and where we belong. Farming, small tight knit communities, tribes etc. Not sitting in an office 9-5 slaving away for a fat cat Jewish Capitalist rat. Not dancing the night away in a nightclub whilst chatting up the local slag. We need to go back. And we will. Civilization is beginning to rear it's head and collapse. Degeneracy is seeping into every aspect of "civilization". It won't last much longer, and you want to know something? That's a good thing. Nature will win in the end. And we'll all go back to living in our tribes, as we should be.

>Humans were never designed to live in communities of more than a few hundred people

I feel like we are all instinctually aware of this, but still feel compelled to deny it.

Perhaps a successful society would not be a massive unity of people over a massive space, but a bunch of smaller towns and villages

This. Absolutely spot on.

Reminder all the internet is is connected computers.

If we all had our little towers that just connect to the next person over, we can link up and have a free worldwide network with no oversight.

That plus local gardens, and we're good.

Have any of you considered starting a farming co-op? You can vet all the new members and the applicants will all inherently be white people.
I live on one now, AMA.

Damn I want to live in a comfy little village so bad

It's something that I wrestle with all the time, I'm not denying the absolutely astounding progress that has been made over all of human history, indeed, no one is more in awe of what we as a species have accomplished. But the fact remains that it is abundantly clear that our old methods of governance and economics won't work on a planet with so many people, and we have but a single choice to make: We carefully monitor and control the human population, or nature will do it for us.

People have this idea that how things are now is the only way to get the results we have now, and that just isn't true. I often wonder how differently human history would have gone had there been slow, collectivized growth instead of just rampant fucking and murdering.

It seems that the flaw of humans as a species was that we were never able to effectively balance our primitive natures with our intelligence; and perhaps that was natures ruse all along. Evolution has never been about 'progress' as we describe it, it has always been about change, for good or bad for a species. It seems that humans will likely be just another cornerstone in a massive evolutionary fossil.

Our only real hope is Faster Than Light Travel, which according to our current understanding of physics is impossible-unless at the sub atomic level. But even if we achieved such a technological feat, you still have all of the other problems that humans refuse to confront on a societal level that have plagued every civilization before us.

If this thread dies just want you to know that I read your posts and found them very compelling

Agreed. Thank you

no you idiot. they are depressed for many reasons. like the following :

1) having had to settle and not finding a soul mate (pipe dream perfect person) who is out of their league but marries them any ways

2) messy divorces (you find that seemingly perfect person and they leave and demand money and or your fucking house. they know they were out of your league)

3) their kids didnt end up just like them. common for old people to be depressed by this which is funny

4) tons of anti depressants in the drinking water thanks to how often they are handed out by mental health professionals but water treatment plants are not made to handle them. in various cities in america they have found unsafe levels of them and other things. this would probably be a global problem if the rest of the world had politicians in bed with big pharma. anyways your brain now no longer knows when it should release serotonin. they have tried to supress this info but its true. long term usage of anti depressants ruins your brains ability to know when to release it and this is why people end up using a range of different medications to get your brain to release it over many years. switching form one to another and their body refuses to releases it after a number of months to a year. they knew all along and wont be paying any money out in a class action lawsuit. your local senators and congressman knew. the guys before them knew going all the way back to the fucking 90s

Multiethnic societies are less trusting
Traffic is shit
TV is shit
Internet is shit

So yeah pretty much.

I'd love to live in a small farming community. Quiet, peaceful, away from "civilization".

Come to America and it's still possible. There are tonnes of little communes about 30 people large and we all live sort of within driving distance of one another.
They don't even realise that I'ma traditionalist because everybody has the same interest at heart, and that's the immediate community. It's basically national socialism and they don't even notice, it's great. Niggers can't farm and here everybody actually has to do their fair share, so no black people ever apply.

Sounds amazing by today's standards. It's crazy to think that such communes are now a thing of the past and looked down upon. However, I would like to stay in Europe. This is my homeland, the land of my ancestors. I can't leave these lands.

Try Scotland or rural Wales. Live like the Led Zeppelin cabin life.

Well if shit ever hits the fan and you end up getting exterminated you know where to come. Also
Look up Adam Lanza's phone call into anarchy radio.

Thanks for the kind words, anons. I think it's some pretty edgy bullshit overall but it seems difficult not to be nihilistic about the current state of affairs that civilization is facing.

If you don't mind me asking, do you have an occipital bun?

To a certain extent.

People are very social beings that need a lot of stimulation which has been taken away. Imagine living amongst hundreds of your brothers, spending all day outdoors and killing an animal with your bare hands. You'd probably feel better than any day of your life in modern civilization. Especially doing the 9 to 5 grind.

I'll look into it. There has to be something similar in England though, surely. There's lot of countryside here.
If SHTF, I'd probably end up looking to Mainland Europe rather than the US. If SHTF Europe wide however, I'll make my way over. Can you tell me a bit more about the commune? What are the ages of the people living there?

do you have any links with more info?

ic.org/directory/communes/

I heard about one through a friend and applied for a 3 week visit on this website. It went well so I decided to join. Everybody is warm and friendly, a little bit hippyish, but not like marxist indoctrination stuff...more mysticism and astrology desu. Most are completely depoliticized.
It's all profit sharing and sharing silverware and what not, it's like a family but we all recognize ourselves as individuals. It's pretty much what you would expect. Things just kinda fall into place because we are mostly competent. Weak people get weeded out through the 3 week trial.
Most are in their late 20's- mid 30's

I'm curious as to what happens when the population can no longer be supported and resources become scare. Will there be a huge war that eradicates most of humanity? Will it be a set of smaller wars that slowly trims down the population? Will Governments actually control the population by limiting birth and eliminating the elderly?

It's not edgy at all. It's logical and natural. It all makes sense. Nothing about that is edgy. As for nihilism, its rampant and it honestly doesn't surprise me how widespread it is amongst people of all ages. I myself can be very nihilistic at times and not in the good way. Like I said in one of my previous posts, Western Civilization will collapse. We are too many in number and nature will fix it for us. We can take comfort in knowing the collapse won't be a bad thing, providing you survive that is as many of the unprepared and even well prepared won't. Everything will go back to how it should be. Natural.

Based. This is the mind control age

>Weak people get weeded out through the 3 week trial.
I like the sound of that.

Thank you my friend. I will look into this. This might be my way out of this cesspit.

>dies at the age of 30 from an infected tooth

You don't have time to be depressed if you have to focus full time on surviving

Humans arent built to slave away in boxes for kike rats that hate their guts and literally obsess 24/7 over how to fuck them over even more. Needling them constantly day after fucking day.

I'm not even joking. Several people have come in for a 3 week trial since I've been here (year and a half). Two were a couple dutch girls and they got on fine, but one was this wook looking guy who just played guitar all day even though our commune already has about 4 people that do that already.

>most people
>depressed

Wrong. You're depressed and probably seeking to self-medicate in some way.

How many people live in your commune?

>this projection

About 30, but there are a couple other co-ops nearby that are literally just 3 families living together on a farm.

Is Australia really that bad??

yup that would be paradise but I want a hot wife and hot women are brainwashed into fearing this.

Sounds really comfy. I need something like that. A tight knit community of like minded individuals working together. It's what we all need.

im having more fun playing survival vidya than real life so yes

That's my plan, once I figure out how to run one of these, I'll probably start my own and poach some nearby members that I really like. From what I've learned so far it's possible to start one with
1. Land (10+ acres)
2. 3+ people
3. Tractor

Hope you bought an island in the pacific with good soil.

its all so tiring

Maybe

>ywn strike out west, forever solidifying a place for you and your family in the US or die trying

I unironically wish and pray that the US will experience another frontier period

now that i think about it the vikings were the last white barbarian society, but even they were advanced, with their art sculptures and optimal ships.

I wish you all of the best in this endeavor user and I wish more would follow in your example. The more small tight knit communities we have the better.

I would say this to you, once you get over the hump of leaving civilization and changing your way of life, it becomes VERY easy to live. The concept of boredom has all but been erased. I still fear for my urban brethren though, who I know are miserable and will always be until they leave, so I find no solace from that.

Depression is a meme

That's comforting to know. Sometimes I wonder if the simple life will become the boring life. But even if that happens, so be it.
