If everything goes to shit you should be proud your forefathers fought ferociously for your country while the rest of the west willingly spread their ass checks to the globalist cock and kowtowed to their ((overlords)).

Leave Sup Forums for a week or so. Forget about politics, go to the cinema, do your hobbies, blackpills don't last much, but you need to disconnect from news. Also if you have a girlfriend or someone close talk with them, that also helps

I'm still on level 1. Not sure if I want to get married, join the kkk, become an intellectual or try to become a new Hitler.

You must be from West Germany...

I have no girlfriend because I'm blackpilled on that shit too. I can't talk to anyone here I am surrounded by cucks... I regularly have nightmares of the police...

Why are you blackpilled? You're twenty years old and people are becoming more and more aware that they are being oppressed by powerful people and by racist tribalists, have you convinced your family of what you believe?

i have a very bad relationship to my family. i honestly have noone i can talk to. whenever i bringup anything related to migration/race/demography, people immediately turn into retards. its insane. people that otherwise appear to be normally functioning adults turn into defensive, mumbling idiots with the arguments of a six year old...


I feel like i should just kill myself. I dont want to be a wagecuck and I need to get the fuck out of this country,,, i wont ever have children in this place... its too fucking depressing to see these events unfold in front of me,, i just cant take it,

It's tough in Europe dude. When we leave the house, we are a minority in our own homelands. Africans everywhere. Job prospects are bad.
Europe our ancestors took centuries to build, is collapsing before our eyes.
Most whites are still bluepilled as fuck. Government censorship and taxes have never been higher.
Many are just waiting for the collapse to start anew, and I understand that.

become a mercenary

convert to islam

Same here, you know the truth, but you can not talk about it to your peers, because they are fucking brainwashed...
> I feel like i should just kill myself.
Don't, germanbro. Just live cheaply for a while and wait, options will open, it will not stay like this forever (it can't actually, it's not sustainable in any way).

Worst that can happen is Germany will turn into the United States. So take the first option.

Do we all start to lift?

maybe i should just be a criminal too. this state is a fucking joke. look at the mass migration, look at the g20 event in hamburg that turned into a civil war.. this is a clown show. why would a young, healthy, red pilled young man play along with this shit? To those fuckers reading this and putting me on a list now: kiss my ass and suck muslim dick. You sererve everything that is coming in the following years.


I just need to either get the fuck out or kms. Really, I don't want to be here when things go mayhem

>Blackpilled as fuck
I advise you read Mein Kampf, make sure it isn't any of the official shit by the government they edited it a fuckton, then read For My Legionnaires, next after that read George Lincoln Rockwell's two books and lastly read SIEGE by James Mason

>I have a very bad relationship to my family
Is this due to disagreements, your parents being abusive, abandonment?
>whenever i bringup anything related to migration/race/demography, people immediately turn into retards.
Naturally, do you think Hitler opposed the Jews and Gypsies because they were a different race or had different demographics? No, it was because they refused to assimilate. Many Muslims WOULD be willing to assimilate, which is why people (correctly) perceive you as a disgusting person.
>I feel like i should just kill myself.
I recommend reflecting on your beliefs and considering why you believe what you believe, don't kill yourself over politics unless you're fighting for an ideal.
>I dont want to be a wagecuck
Then overthrow the capitalist system and dismantle the plutocracy.
>i wont ever have children in this place
not with that attitude
>its too fucking depressing to see these events unfold in front of me,, i just cant take it,

I'm in the same spot as you man, minus the nightmares.. It's a rough patch but knowing is half the battle, and you CAN do your part. We both need to ruminate on what that will be.

Exercise, eat right, save your money, and don't let the shithole that is contemporary western culture swallow you. Leave the city and get outside. Cities are the worst thing for mental health imaginable and they facilitate the current levels of extreme bullshit we see today. The facade is starting to crack. The current system of "refugees welcome" and other such nonsense is unsustainable. I recommend reading Growth of the Soil and pic related.

its sad that you've been pushed to post memes of hitler, but i do understand. you guys should form a nationalist group, but leave hitler out of it. he was kind of a POS who liked to torture children.

Not all Germany is that bad. The country is large, you could find a better place than where you are now.

divore and consecutive years of abuse and neglect. i was a holocaust denier at fucking 14 years of age cause all i did was go online. others had fun,drank alcohol and just had a good time and i always had this heavy stuff in my head that i could not talk to with anyone. plus all the bullshit my parents did to us kids... I see no path forward

You are going down and I am VERY happy about it.

Poland is RISING!

you are hitler, bro

it is your calling

Youlittle shit hole lost its head during the Jacobien revolution.

Nique la France!

>tfw you know people who follow the second path having 6 or 7 kids (minus the gun)

Gives me some hope lads that its not just a fairytale.

Everyone should fucking lift Serbian bro

life in orderly countries like Germany is too good you simply lack any meaningful challenge. open up a business in Poland or something, it will give you some purpose and throw some obstacles your way.

>Many Muslims WOULD be willing to assimilate,
The overwhelming majority of them are military aged men that come for handouts and to fingerbang European women. Combine that with some legal systems taking extraordinary steps to accommodate their "sexual emergencies" and other forms of severe crimes and you have a powder keg just begging for someone to toss a match on it. Does that sound like assimilation to you? Or are you that naive?

data2.unhcr.org/en/situations/mediterranean

you need a gun tho. gotta defend your family

You might hope that something will change to the positive within the next 5-10 years.
I saw this shit starting 10 years ago when I was twenty and have given up hope to ever have a proper family myself the more insane all of this shit became.
Hope for the best for the future or that you manage to get lucky to find the right girl with the same values as you and a strong enoug hspine to stand for it.

Belgium is country run by pedophiles. You get whats coming for you

this actually sounds like a good idea to me. i visted poland last december and it has some beautiful women. also, i like their language. nothing holds me here, so i might as well.

Dude. You have a grasp of reality: You are a rare breed of German! You know the evil, and you wish to turn away from your loved ones in their time of need? That would make you worse than those self-hating commies that pervade your culture. Force yourself into social situations and find ways to get through to people. I know this sounds cringey as fuck but it's five minutes to midnight for your people.

You were programmed to want to kys after being blackpilled. So either do that or push back.

work out and
join a nationalist group

Fuck off kraut Poland is full

Apply to art school. If they reject your application, you have found your calling.

my "loved ones" were never there for me in my time of need. i could tell you all the shit that went wrong in my childhood and youth. I have no emotional connection to these people whatsoever and I am happy that they are out of my life right now.

You're reading it in reverse. :(

I've never seen the need as being dire in Australia for self defense, after all, our sandnog population is low and nog population is next to non-existant. Maybe for hunting or shooting our lethal fucking fauna, but thats it.

The average Sup Forumsack has resurrected the Third Reich 1/5 times.

You should try to get to the US if possible. Sucks leaving your homeland. But if you really want out. There's no other option really. I'd leave for a bit then come back. Just to clear my head. Hang in there.

Considering your gender and age, you have around 99% chance of becoming an engineer, so get a diploma with good grades in a migrant-free zone (for your sanity) in Deutschland then MOVE ELSEWHERE.

xo

this is the only reason i am alive, the hope to make it to the united states. i have a us flag hanging above me right now, and a DTOM flag over my door. But how the fuck does a NEET make it to the us? i am invested in crypto right now and hope to make money so i can find a way... there is no chance i will stay in this country.. i feel like a foreigner. the entire mindset is toxic and naive

The West is more important than your childhood. If you actually swallowed the pill you would make a last stand

>asking for advice
>blackpilled
you're nothing to me

This woman turned me into an anti-altruist.. The west in its current form does not deserve to be saved. Fuck this shit. Why would I save people that despise me for doing so?

Is that actually true? Got a source?

Why don't you just go to Coburg and join the actual fight?

A jew walks into a German beer hall.

He loudly proclaims that God loves him more than anyone else in the bar and that he is the smartest person in the bar. The jew begins groping the waitresses. He steals from the till repeatedly. He also attempts to incite several bar fights and attempts to kick a group of German guys out of their seats because he wants a booth that they had been sitting in when he got there. The bartender asks him to leave and he refuses. Eventually the bartender physically throws the jew out of the bar.

The jew comes back to the German bar the next day with an American, a Russian, and an Englishman. He pays all three of them to wreck the bar and burn it to the ground. The Russian repeatedly rapes the waitresses. The Englishman and the Russian beat up the bartender, and the American takes all the credit. The American pipe bombs a sushi restaurant across the street. The jew, the American, the Englishman, and the Russian all agree to get their story straight and tell the cops that the German bartender started it.

The jew punches himself in the face during the bar fight and blames the German bartender, successfully suing the German bar for millions of dollars for discrimination and assault. The German is forced to buy the jew his own bar in a much more expensive part of town. The Russian, the American, and the Englishman rebuild the German's beer hall only shittier and smaller. Also, the beer hall isn't allowed to serve anything but crappy American beer from now on. The jew still insists on drinking at the German's bar for free.

The American is hired as a bouncer at the jew's new bar and gets a 2% discount on drinks. The American drinks a lot so the jew uses the American's own money to pay the American to remodel his bar several times. They are best friends.

A kebab restaurant is on a lot next door to the jew's bar and the jew wants it so he can expand. The American beats up the kebab chef and throws him into the German's bar.

Save up as much as possible. Kentucky has cheap rent. 300 bucks a month. Might move there myself when I move out. Just keep yourself going. Lift, read and try to take your mind off what's happening. Good luck man. Hopefully good change comes soon.

>tries to save the world
>hated for it
>the eternal fate of the German
Shit WILL hit the fan, but first there will come a decline in overall welfare. This will redpill the German youth. You (again, you're rare) can decide if you want to have a part in that. The potential of the white race is still there

Quality post

Same boat as you are, I was too autistic and couldn't enjoy my early years. I am thinking of converting to Islam to find a community and QT waifu. What do you think?

I agree, I started lifting and reading after browsing pol for some time, but do most faggots here lifting like the op pic shows?

yeah but how the fuck do i get into the us? i would love to have a based live in a red state and maybe even have a family one day... with a red state, based woman that isnt brainwashed.. this idea is all i have. thank you for your encouragement. godspeed

>German youth
I don't really want to salt the wound but there isn't any German youth left. I think they're somewhere around 50% ethnic childbirths and falling now.

Median age of Germany is 50.

>The overwhelming majority of them are military aged men that come for handouts and to fingerbang European women.
Then use those military aged men to stage a revolt and kick out the kikes. Or are you unwilling to work with them?
>Combine that with some legal systems taking extraordinary steps to accommodate their "sexual emergencies" and other forms of severe crimes and you have a powder keg just begging for someone to toss a match on it
I don't justify the legal system unfairly applying justice, criminals should be punished, not all refugees are criminals.

You know they have operations just before marriage to 'repair' their clitoris to look like their virgins on the wedding night. They're thots too.

Once you start lifting you gain respect for personal responsibility and your own development. After that the extension of thought to the way of the world is the next step, then to Sup Forums

lmao

The cucks do not deserve us, they dont deserve to be saved

>Then use those military aged men to stage a revolt and kick out the kikes.
Good luck organizing that. A religious/political culture that has historically tried to invade and take over the west multiple times. Even now multiple terror organizations say it is their desire to destory the west. Those same terror organizations are responsible for multiple attacks, and now barriers have to be erected in front of Christmas markets to prevent the truck of peace. Multiple times Europeans drove Islam back and now you want to invite them in? What the fuck is wrong with you? You may foolishly want to work with them, but they don't want to work with you. Also.
>implying national socialists wanted muslims and aryans to mix together like the cultural hodgepodge of degeneracy we are seeing today.
Where in that pic does it say the National Socialists wanted thousands of low intelligence foreigners to come into their lands and settle down? I also find it hilarious that it blatantly ignores the Haavara agreement where the Jews were literally shipped to Palestine. That and the fact it mentions "islamophobia" like some SJW whale that doens't understand the past 1000 years of relations between Islam and the west.

>I do not justify...
No, you are by saying they can be worked with and posting pants on head retarded collections of out of context quotes alongside blatant propaganda. Reality says that the standard for a refugee and a standard for a man in his homeland are much different, and the native can't say anything about it without facing legal repercussions. This has been facilitated by faggots that think like you.

>not all refugees are criminals
But they are responsible for the majority of the crime wave that Europe is facing. Want to ignore that for the "based" cousin fucking muslims?

You're kinda forgetting that their own government and their own PEOPLE (from around 40 and above i.e. the majority of Germans) are against them.

Also if they try to change anything they'll instantly be labelled nazis and jailed.

>20 years old
You know literally nothing. Eat well, sleep well, exercise well. Read books, watch movies, enjoy things with other people. Grab life by the balls and ride it. For gods sake, do something useful for once in your life, you fucking waste of space.

>Convince your family
Yes, reveal your powerlevel, great idea. >things are bad
>guess I'll just make it worse

>not all refugees
extreme terrorism and death of a race calls for drastic measures and that very well includes shutting down immigration. The sand niggers can go back home and fix their own homeland or die trying. I would be new age hitler if given power.

I reveal my power level on a daily basis. I weed out motherfuckers quick. Why waste yoùr time being fake around pathetic shallow people who dont give a flying fuck about you in the first place. I aint here to impress any of you motherfuckers .

You waffle fuck

user make some more Money and come to live here with us,repay us by getting involved in our society and redpilling people irl about refugees

come to us germanbro

Buy a plane ticket to a country that allows people to own firearms. Dont even buy a ticket. Just drive there. Drive to fucking russia or some shit and buy some weapons and ammo from some russian gangsters. Then sneak back into germany. And when all the muslims gather in a mosque take your gun and massacre them all.

portugal has nice beaches and beautiful women. how do i get to you? what do i live on? crypto, right... well, I might make my way to you for a few months

The only reason why Muslims are hostile to the West today is because of all your retarded interventions you dumb faggot. If you weren't constantly bombing them, they would neither come here nor give a shit.

Join the Police and larp. Take notes on each officer. Start a revolution.

lol read some history. they have attacked europe for their entire existence

sup bro
yes we have nice beaches,beautiful conservative women and nice food,plus there is no rapefugees here so far so its a safe country, just come live with us bro

you will be accepted very fast,people here are very fucking nice to foreigners and you will have no problems making friends

everything here is dirt cheap bro,thats the catch we are kind of somewhat poor but everything else is fine,make some more of that german Money and come live amongst us

try to cheer up germanbro you can have a good new life here

Blackpill is the first row

second row is the objectively best one for you personally

third row is a waste of time

fourth row is the path toward a true legacy

fifth row is a meme (for you)

Back then everyone was imperialist, it was normal to invade other nations. But after the late 19th/20th century began, there was a period of quiet/peace when there wasn't much conflict between the Islamic world and Westerners. America's constant interventions ruined that peace.

Modern Islamic terrorism only began circa 1980s onward.

if i make it in crypto i will for sure visit your country and have a good time. drugs are legalized, arent they? thats what i heard at least

Get the youth and socialists agitated and hijack this into a nationalist revolution

>good luck organizing that
People said the same thing to Hitler
>Even now multiple terror organizations say it is their desire to destory the west
Naturally, as long as the West is aligned with Israel the Islamic world will correctly perceive us as their enemy.
>Multiple times Europeans drove Islam back and now you want to invite them in?
I'm not suggesting invite them in or not, I'm suggesting to treat them with compassion so that you can work together with them because you have the same goal; the overthrow of capitalism, the defeat of the Jews, the minimization of suffering in the world. If you or a Muslim disagrees with those goals, then no, it is not worth it to work with them.
>You may foolishly want to work with them, but they don't want to work with you
Some of them do, how do you know what every Muslim thinks? Are you a mind reader? Or more likely you've been conditioned to shut down the idea entirely.
>Where in that pic does it say the National Socialists wanted thousands of low intelligence foreigners to come into their lands and settle down?
It doesn't, but that doesn't mean we can't work with them if the kikes are trying to force us to fight each other.
When you realize you're being manipulated, do you go along with the manipulation, or do you resist it? It seems you've chosen the former.
>This has been facilitated by faggots that think like you.
I do not condone it, I can't make that any more clear.
>death of a race
Why preserve your ethnic group which contributes further to racial fragmentation instead of regenerating your race based on ideals?
>The sand niggers can go back home and fix their own homeland or die trying.
And they will remember that. Harm to one Muslim is harm to all, it's a dangerous road you are willing to tread to keep Western culture alive and serving the Jews.
>I would be new age hitler if given power.
You sound closer to a white Netanyahu.

Oh yeah and whats the Ottoman empire? When they retreated they left muslim minorities in serbia, albania, Georgia, Ukraine all over the place who are now causing shit as usual.

i am not saying this just for the sake of saying it but i legit think if you were to move to Portugal you would fall in love with this country

i am not an expert in this laws but i think they are semi legal,i dont think you go to jail or are arrested if they catch you doing drugs but again i dont have a lot of knowledge about this laws,i think they will problably legalize drugs at some point tho

just imagine yourself in a nice beach drinking a cold one looking at the sea relaxing without having to give a shit about your safety(super safe country) and good food

when i say our women arent whores i am not saying this just because i am portuguese, they legit are not whores and you wont have a lot of problems finding at some point a good decent wife

i dont want to give you some cliché speech i think your country is getting fucked hard right now for real and nobody should blame you for feeling this way they dont have the right to judge you if you dont want to live in that society anymore

come to us user you are going to have a good time i am sure your going to do fine in crypto you sound like a smart guy

I'm working towards the bottom time line. Anyone have any tips for running for mayor in a small town?

this is a sign you are going to make it

not that user but I thought about moving to Brazil like my ancestors from 70 years ago

This thought is so /comfy/ that I could get used to it. Maybe I should start learning portugese. Would actually give me something to focus on other than crypto and the world turning to shit

source?

Yes, lifting,being healthy and looking is as important as being able to debate and make rational points for your politicalstance, I would say both is mandatory if you live in the cucked parts of the west. You are representing your ideology and therefore the people that associate with it, this means that your mere appearance is a propaganda tool to spread your beliefs to normies (not spilling the spaghetti and denying the holocaust at the tops of your lungs, but subtile bread crumbs are sufficient).

>People said the same thing to Hitler
He wasn't organizing a foreign culture that was raping German women on a daily basis, was he?
>Naturally, as long as the West is aligned with Israel the Islamic world will correctly perceive us as their enemy.
They perceive all non believers as the enemy you stupid fuck.
>I'm not suggesting invite them in or not, I'm suggesting to treat them with compassion so that you can work together
Allowing them into Europe and manipulating the legal system to accommodate their backwards culture is showing them compassion. Look how that is turning out. Not that great.
>you have the same goal
That conflicts with this;
>Some of them do, how do you know what every Muslim thinks?
So pick one. I would argue that we don't share a goal. Considering that they are too preoccupied collecting an absurd ammount of welfare and in some cases kicking European families out of their homes to accommodate them. Is looking at the unfilterd facts conditioning to you?
>It doesn't, but that doesn't mean we can't work with them if the kikes are trying to force us to fight each other.
Again, you are foolish thinking that they want to work with you.
>When you realize you're being manipulated, do you go along with the manipulation, or do you resist it? It seems you've chosen the former.
Tell me, how do you know you are not being manipulated? To believe that a foreign culture that has had a long and storied history of aggression towards the west can somehow align with the west. It seems as though you are falling into some mental trap that anyone who is critical of muslims in the west is somehow manipulated. Facts celery show that many jews are pushing the idea of multiculturalism.
>I do not condone it, I can't make that any more clear.
Then pull your head out of your ass and stop making excuses for a literal horde of shitskins. They do not think like you, they do not act like you, and they will not assimilate.

Take the purple pill, user.

yes bro do it,it is not just Portugal but after learning portuguese you will also be able to travel to brazil,the portuguese islands(some anons are not aware of this islands) and africa if you want to visit some african countries for some reason watch that african sun know what i mean,pretty good

Just start a new life here with us germanbro,you could have a good time for real and if doesnt work out fuck it at least you will have a good time

you should consider the portuguese islands,there are very few people living there,its beautiful as fuck and very very peaceful,you could find a decent loving wife maybe start a family and shit and die with a huge smile on your face living the ultimate /comfy/ life

ITS TIME user

also i forgot to say yes its a good ideia learning a new language,it can be a lot of fun and take your mind of everything turning to shit around you

if you also learn spanish(very easy if you already know portuguese) you will speak 4 languages english/german/portuguese/spanish which will be very impressive for most people

I’m a pretty uglee person desu but I got a gf after not going on Sup Forums for a while, logging out of twitter, held back my autism, pretending I’m apathetic regarding politics in public and finally focusing on myself by going to gym and hanging out with my normie mates. It really cleared my mind and gave me my male vitality and confidence back. The black pill makes you so unattractive to girls, because they want comfort and stability. When you are oozing depression, angst, indecisiveness, or when you are spouting autistic talking points which go against their comfortable status quo beliefs, girls will be really freaked by you, a lot of the time it’s not even a conscious thing to them.

To attract a girl so you can have white children you have to be or at least pretend to be confident, positive and self-assured about the future. If you want a red-pilled wife, you won’t find one. You have to make one, and you have to ease them into it and not be a sperg talking about politics all the time. Just use lil events that happen as opportunities to plant seeds or point out something.

Ottoman expansionism already had stopped by the end of the 18th century you brainlet leaf. From that point on, they were crumbling and couldn't hold onto any of their remaining territories.

Regardless, the Ottomans, and Turks in general, were on the Axis side in WW1 and low-key supported the Axis in WW2, so I hardly see why you are complaining.

There's some kind of brainwave in my body that makes me automatically hostile to germanic people.

>He wasn't organizing a foreign culture that was raping German women on a daily basis, was he?
He was organizing a mass of people against both the bourgeoisie and the communists; I do not think one will be significantly more difficult than the other, they both merely require individuals who want to unify to solve their problems.
>They perceive all non believers as the enemy you stupid fuck.
Is that really how they believe, or is that how you have been taught to believe? My father was friends with a Muslim. He was kind to me as a child. Did he perceive me as an enemy? Do you know? Have you even read the Koran?
>Allowing them into Europe and manipulating the legal system to accommodate their backwards culture is showing them compassion. Look how that is turning out. Not that great.
You're twisting my words, that is not what I consider compassion.
>That conflicts with this;
>>Some of them do, how do you know what every Muslim thinks?
>So pick one.
Unite with those who want to unite with you, and fight those who want to oppose you or dominate you, simple as that.
>Is looking at the unfilterd facts conditioning to you?
"There are no facts, only interpretations" - Nietzsche
If you look at reality through a certain lense, you will only see it in one way. Look for evidence that people ARE willing to work with Muslims to solve problems and you will find it. Look for evidence that Muslims hate all Europeans and you will find it too. That is what I mean by conditioning.
>Tell me, how do you know you are not being manipulated?
Perhaps I am, but then I ask, if Islam and Christianity unite to destroy the kikes, abolish the capitalist system, and minimize suffering in the world, who would gain? Christians and Muslims. Am I okay with working with Christians and Muslims over Jews? Yes, because a Muslim wants everyone in the world to be Muslim to promote peace, same as a Christian. A Jew wants 2800 slaves for each of them.
