Hello fellow >>>/politics/ ians We have a major problem on our hands. The Jew has successfully tricked people into fighting race wars instead of overthrowing their governments; into using corrupt government currencies instead of bit coin and a dozen other free alternatives. The Jew has tricked them into accepting capitalism with all its government buying scandals and warmongering lies.

While some have accelerated a war on straight European Race men - others have decided that the biggest problem is Islam and the hordes coming from the Muslim lands.

The biggest problem is government and its many tentacles that infiltrate and corrupt everything they take over. From public education to zoning laws in cities. From subsidization of major corporations to income taxes on individuals but not on corporate profits.

Even if you think government is necessary - the current governments in power are against man - against honest living. They perpetuate minor problems into bigger ones to make sure they remain relevant.

Know the real struggle here. A relatively few men with political and international business empires that have survived the centuries are strangling everyone to maintain their unnatural hierarchy. Humans are not a hive. Those who want leadership let them choose. And those who seek no guidance let them walk their own paths.

The modern governments consider all who aren't in the ruling ranks to be brainless drones. Are you a brainless drone? Do you not have a right to control your own body?

There is no new world to go to. And if we ever get off this earth while they still rule going to new worlds will not be as open as it was to go to the Americas. Save this planet from these corrupt souls. Do not hide from criticism. You deserve everything you strive for. Fight for it. And the future generations will be so lucky not to live in a world prison. https://archive.is/tM6OG

This board is dedicated to collaberation between 8chan anons in order to help their fellow anons, especially those who are suffering from depression, social isolation, addiction, and all the other plagues peculiar to imageboard users. If /kind/ is for kind words, /hope/ is for everything that goes above and beyond words. Users may use this board to either receive or give aid and comfort, and coordinate with other anons to provide anything from companionship, education, advice, and even material assistance. It was begun by /christian/s interested in doing charity work among a demographic they feel strong kinship with, and which is neglected among mainstream society because it is relatively unknown. This is not a Christian-specific board, however, and all are welcome as long as they abide by the rules and come in a spirit of charity and love for their fellow anons.

The rules can be found at: https://8ch.net/hope/rules.html

So what does /hope/ think about Guaranteed minimum income? There is a push in my neck of the woods to give every citizen of a region money regardless of job status.

This has been my thought too. I've been thinking about it more and more the last few days since it looks like it really will become a reality here.

The plus side is, since this region has been neglected for so long, it makes up for all the cuts that have wrecked the economy here.

But then I realize, the more I think about it, eventually, it'll lead to a collapse, because it simply isn't sustainable.

On a side note: Any money I get I'm going to invest and put away. My /hope/ is this goes for a trial run, I save up the money, then when a new government comes into power, they cancel this, and then I'll be fine because of proper investments.

In my calculations, if I play my cards right, I should have around 50,000 to 80,000 to invest during the life time of this project, and if the markets go the way I'm certain they will go, then I should be easily be able to double or triple that.

If I end up with $250,000+, I have determined I can retire comfortably, as my mom has stated I will receive $200,000 upon her Death (plz don't die mom kthx), and my Uncle Property I apparently will inherit will get me another $100,000 to $200,000 (Split between my brother and I), bringing my total to around $600,000.

Then at 65, the government here already gives you free money to live off of.

Well, I have some progress to report, it's not really what I was expecting.

The government here is considering implementing Basic Income because of the prolonged recession, and because there are many people who are working part time jobs and don't make enough money.

Part time isn't bad, but they keep breaking full time jobs into 2/3 part time jobs that don't pay people enough.

It's said that they plan to do a trial in one city, and my city was on the list of possible choices.

If it happens, I plan to donate some of money, and I'll start working on projects that may help people or at least be of interest to people. I'm sort of doing that now, just not as much as I could be.

I've been working hard to find employment in the field I specialized in in school for several months with no success. I only heard back from one place, which I was later rejected from. My life circumstances dictate that I need to start working right now though, which means I'll have to find work at a place like a fast food restaurant, retail chain, or grocery store. I've been fired from three different places like this before though for having anxiety at work and walking off. I know from experience that these jobs are extremely difficult (for me) and depressing and while I was working at them I would just cry every day I got home and go to sleep immediately. I went back to school to try to escape this fate but I guess this is just my destiny, to be a loser who works at Walmart forever and spends all day thinking about anime girls just to survive. I feel completely worthless that this is my station in life. How am I supposed to live through this? I don't know if even escapism can carry me through a fate this horrible.

>>522

I'm very sorry to hear all of this, anon. Finding work is very difficult right now, it's true, but you can do it. If you don't mind my asking, what did you study in school? I'm curious. As far as job opportunities, have you looked into being a night shift security guard or something? It doesn't require a lot of social interaction, and is often just a warm bodies job. It's good if you're having anxiety problems.

Beyond that, I think it's important that I point out that you are not worthless. If you're religious, then you should know that there is a plan and purpose for your life. If not, then know that while you are here you can make an impact on others. You can help make the world a better place. Even if what you do seems "worthless," you can still influence the world around you for the better.

Faith makes all things possible.

This incommensurability you feel is the dizziness of freedom.

Don't be afraid that you will have nothing if you do not get a job, instead do the work of the spirit and you will never go unclothed or unfed.

I know the mission statement says this board is for more personal problems so maybe this doesn't belong here.

But the general state of the world and all the shit that's happening in Europe just does make me want to give up. I don't believe it'll get better and will just continue to get worse. So the point of working through personal problems is to live in a world quickly going mad?

Not that I expect /hope/ to fix the planet but how exactly do people deal with how the world is going?

I thought I read that Galileo's real crime wasn't saying the earth revolved the sun, which several scientists at the time had been saying already, so he wasn't the complete pioneer, but that he wrote a dialectic in which three people were back-n-forthing the various theories, and the one that was contending the Pope's position was clearly made-out to be a dunce.

in other words, he wasn't guilty of saying "science is this", but of inadvertently poking fun at the Pope

Of course, the only way to undo the damage was to retract, which, scientifically, he wouldn't do

what I read

How do you all deal with others being superior than you?

I have always felt myself depressive about the dynamic of superiority and inferiority of inherent ability for every individual in existence. AKA I firmly believe that the reality is that there are individuals who are inherently superior at performing most possible tasks in life. An extreme example is a comparison between someone vegetablized but conscious since birth and someone who is superior for most of life`s tasks because of both genetics and life experience.

If there are truly those individuals who are superior and inferior, how can I accept this emotionally? Humans' differential ability levels have always been terribly depressive.

I get VERY jealous about people who are superior to me and I use that jealousy to fuel my self-improvement. Most people say jealousy is an irrational and childish feeling but it is not because then we wouldn't have it as human beings, whether it was God or evolution that gave it to us it has it's uses.

eg: when I see some rich guy driving in a fancy car, I don't necessarily hate him because it's good that he has these things, but I hate the fact that I don't, so I rarely get lazy anymore and I don't skip any important work because it's hard to be idle when you think about all those people better than you and when you can be just like them or even better. In fact, I would even say that that is the primary purpose of jealousy, to help us improve and get better than who we are but just like with everything else, it's good in moderation, too much and it will consume you.

>>410

>Short story is you can't derive your self-worth from being better than others, because you'll always be able to find someone whose better than you at something (or a lot of things). Who has worth in that system, if anyone?

This is also true, there will always be people better than you, there is nothing you can do about it and don't take it too seriously. Sometimes it can also be the case that you simply suck at that thing that you are doing, there is no shame in that, you are simply not cut out for it and your talent lies elsewhere, you have to accept it and find the things that you ARE good at because not everyone is good at everything.

Instead of always comparing yourself to others, you should sometimes compare yourself to who you were in the past and ask yourself if you are better now than before and if you are happy with your position, then it shouldn't matter who is better than you.

I get extremely jealous too, but only with things like people having friends, girlfriends, social skills, hanging out with others, sex, etc.

It doesn't really fuel my self-improvement though, if anything it hinders it; I get really envious and bitter, feel miserable and lonely as shit, and this usually sets me back.

This is also one of the biggest things I hope for at this point in my life.

Ultimately though, I hope to show and practice love, in a world that desperately needs it, for my fellow man and my God; ultimately I derive my hope for this goal from religion. Look up theosis/sanctification if you're interested.

It's a good question, because it is first off a reference to the band "Godspeed You! Black Emperor", though I'm really unsure how the picture is actually related. To a concert I saw recently, they had a screen show with "hope" being displayed while playing.

I don't really know the thought behind pairing hope and hammer, but since hammer is a tool for creation and construction, that's at least something.

Get in here, everyone if anyone is left.

Let's take it easy and have a friendly chat thread over Christmas weekend. Talk about anything you want, nothing's off limits. Or funpost. Whatever floats your boat. Just follow the rules. This board has had basically no activity for quite some time, so there's really no point in trying to stay on topic. Let's just try to have some fun and liven up the place.

To that end, what are you all doing for Jesus' birthday? I'll be with a buddy of mine, visiting his family, who are basically like my family.

I couldn't get an answer about how this started, but this is what I found out:

It seems that this practice has started in the past couple of decades with more non-Catholics attended services with Catholic friends or family, or for young children who come up the communion line with their parents. There isn't any specific reason why you cross you arms, it's just something that has originated.

It also seems that it is dependent on whether or not a Bishop allows it in their area or not.

You don't actually have to get up for communion if you are not able to receive the sacrament. There is a blessing you will receive at the end of mass.

Nonetheless, I hope you do have yourself a Merry Christmas, Anon and I hope this helps.
