I say you don't have balls not because I perceived your lack of alpha male masculinity. I called out your lack of balls to criticize your tendency to think with your emotion rather than with a logical mind, despite your capability to do so. Must be tough to be so emotional yet having such little EQ.
I think Donald Trump donated a decent bit to charity in his life, dude's still a pretty shitty human. You want a cookie for donating 3 K? I've donated hundreds of hours of my personal time providing free medical aid to people much less fortunate than anyone you likely personally know. (Side note, many providers I worked with were white and wealthy and were genuinely interesting in helping other humans). Anyway, at my bill rate, that's worth magnitudes more than your little donation that you use to feel good about yourself. God, you're so cookie cutter it hurts.
To you, on one hand I'm a social-justice race warrior; on the other, I'm a homophobic, ageist chauvinist. Whatever suits your post of the day I guess. But my comments are rooted in sarcasm and trolling, welcome to the internet Boomer. I jokingly call my gay friends fags and lady friends cunts, but they're smart enough to know that. Again, I suspect your issues come from the engineer-corporate man's stereotypically low EQ. Try breaking the stereotype. Grow a little.

Posts: 6686Pessimist: I hope your friends in nbim gets fired soon! That fund should never have had portfolio managers. The very idea that they have it reeks of corruption. Plus they do a terrible lousy job looking at the results they manage statistically over time. I know people that make trading robots for Wallstreet banks who could automate better results than all the nbim portfolio managers combined. Portfolio managers can be fine in certain funds, but not in this type of fund. It is basically an index fund with some added wannabe rules. Easily automated.
Nurse: weird how 6/6 of the mentioned people you have feuds with are whites.

You think you're well informed because your simple world of home and work life has instilled a false sense of achievement, but your personal development is obviously stunted. Maybe you should work on your post-family-professional man life in which you clearly stopped growing as an independently thinking man. Nice start when you disappeared for a few months but you came back without any personal growth. More work to be done.
I have yet to see a quote that displays the anti-white sentiment for which you accuse me. It seems that you think criticism means anti-whatever.
Here's some advice, those inbox messages you received from Pistons way back when were the seeds that currently poisons your mind and judgement. Come back to the light.

The other day you said I don't have balls because I was not fighting whoever you were fighting. That shows the kinda detached world you and your pals live in (I noticed you roped in one of them for support; makes sense. Around here, it seems like a Survivor show with a couple of groups pitted against each other). You think throwing mud and fighting endlessly is evidence of balls. If ever you are actually responsible for other people's lives and bring them up and make them into productive human beings, you will know what real guts are. If paid sex is all I cared about and if I was that selfish, I could park myself in DE and other mongering destinations forever and not have to work but I am not doing that.

Around Feb 2020, after Covid first surfaced, Gino made a string of posts advocating that FKKs should ban entry for any Asian types. He never defined who those would be. When I pushed, he admitted it would include any dude with an Asian look.
I was pretty much the only one who had a month long dispute with him, pushing back on that preposterous idea. I said (a) if Germany or any other country feels they need to protect their denizens, they should implement a travel ban (b) people who are already inside the country and free to visit restaurants, movie theaters, grocery stores, train stations etc are not any more of a risk inside the FKKs (c) if the club should make discriminatory door policy, it should be based on testing, at least temp checks etc and not based on looks of ethnicity.
I am sorry, but I don't recall you jumping in at that time. This back and forth w / Gino went on for weeks. He accused me of being a libtard (his favorite expression). And now you barge in and I am crying white victimization? Really?
I aggressively pushed back on that issue because FKK door policy is a relevant topic for ISG. But MacAdonis' half baked theses with a few links from the first page of Google search probably impress you but anyone who has been living in the US know how complex is a race discussion, how it goes nowhere after endless mutual recriminations, and how shallow are some of the observations from MacAdonis on this topic. And yes, I will not be bothered to provide a bunch of links -- this is not a high school paper I am submitting. Perhaps you are still in school somewhere and those sorts of citations impress you.

Author posts comments made by a reader. The point they are trying to make is that the left is throwing fuel on the fire and pushing straight white males towards the alt-right movement. Reader is firing a warning shot.
Im a white guy. Im a well-educated intellectual who enjoys small arthouse movies, coffehouses and classic blues. If you didnt know any better, youd probably mistake me for a lefty urban hipster.
And yet. I find some of the alt-right stuff exerts a pull even on me. Even though Im smart and informed enough to see through it. Its seductive because I am not a person with any power or privilege, and yet I am constantly bombarded with messages telling me that Im a cancer, Im a problem, everything is my fault.
I am very lower middle class. Ive never owned a new car, and do my own home repairs as much as I can to save money. I cut my own grass, wash my own dishes, buy my clothes from Walmart. I have no clue how I will ever be able to retire. But oh, brother, to hear the media tell it, I am just drowning in unearned power and privilege, and America will be a much brighter, more loving, more peaceful nation when I finally just keel over and die.
Trust me: After all that, some of the alt-right stuff feels like a warm, soothing bath. A safe space, if you will. I recoil from the uglier stuff, but some of it the hey, white guys are actually okay, you know! Be proud of yourself, white man! stuff is really VERY seductive, and it is only with some intellectual effort that I can resist the pull. And yet I still follow this stuff, not really accepting it, but following it just because its one of the only places I can go where people are not always telling me Im the seed of all evil in the world. If its a struggle for someone like me to resist the pull, I imagine its probably impossible for someone with less education or cultural exposure.
It baffles me that more people on the left cant understand this, cant see how theyre just feeding, feeding, feeding the growth of this stuff. They have no problem understanding, and even making excuses for, say, the seductive pull of angry black radicalism for disaffected black men. Theyre totally cool with straightforwardly racist stuff like La Raza. Why are they unable to put themselves into the shoes of disaffected white guys and see how something similar might appeal to them? Or if they can make this mental leap, why are they so caustically dismissive of it an attitude theyd never do with, say, a black kid who has joined the Nation of Islam?
Im sorry, but there are two alternatives here. You can push for some kind of universalist vision bringing everybody together, or you can have tribes. Theres not a third option. If you dont want universalism, then you just have to accept that various forms of open white nationalism are eventually going to become a permanent feature of politics. You dont have to LIKE it. But you have to accept it and learn to live with it including the inevitable violence and strife that will flow from it.
If the Left cant let go of identity politics, then let me be clear: What comes next is on THEM. A lot of us dont want to live in a world of tribes, and we never asked for it. But people will like those young dudes attracted to white nationalism are going to play the game according to the rules as they find them, and they will play to win. Dont say you werent warned.
