I used to give homeless people money on the street. The recent Santa Ana homeless encampment completely turned me the other way after hearing the horror stories of people who lived in that city. They were a menace and didn't want help, just handouts.

A few years ago, I had considered myself "pro-choice". I didn't see any real problem with abortion until I came across a video titled "The Silent Scream", which is basically an ultrasound of an abortion. It looked to me as though the baby was trying to escape the instrument of its death. It can be argued that it's just "reflex arcs, it's not really feeling anything", but let me say this: all pain you feel is "just a reflex arc" being interpreted by the brain as pain. It could be argued that it's just a clump of cells, but so is everyone else. "Consciousness doesn't exist for them"... who's to say? Babies react to all sorts of things in the womb. In a life of working in medicine, I saw some things that were horrific, but nothing turned my stomach like watching that video. I've been adamantly "pro-life" since.
Another good one was when I was standing in line at Walmart with my daughter, who's still an infant. A kind old man behind me struck up a conversation and out of nowhere, he says "You have three seconds to answer. The angel of the Lord comes to you and says 'I will take your life, or hers. Choose.'" I automatically answer that of course it could take me. He asks the same question, but with my father. I hesitate, and without stopping he repeats the question, but with my mother. My head is wrapped with questions, wondering if my parents would want that, who would take care of my daughter, etc, too much to react in time to a thought experiment.
The gentleman then says "That's the difference between a parent's love and a child's love. You are unthinkingly ready to sacrifice yourself for your child, but not your parents. She will never love you the way you love her. And that's okay. That's the way it's supposed to be. If she did, she'd never leave. We're not meant to remain with our parents." It really made me appreciate my parents in a way I hadn't before.

As a child I used to go to Mass with my mother every Sunday. My father never came with us so one day I asked him why he never came to church with us and he said, "Church is for people too lazy to work and too scared to steal." That fucked with me for awhile but I got over it. What kinda shit is that to tell an 11 year old ?

The most profound moments in my life are the most incommunicable.
So fuck it.
My life? My life is nothing. Identity, purpose, culture,politics, "self"...all is void, and everyone obsessed with such things is running around in a frantic circle chasing nothing. These days I feed the cat, brew some coffee, and watch the sky get darker. All the analysis in the world does a fat lot of good. The smartest people I've met are the most delusional. If you're analyzing the sex you ain't making love are you, loser?

That is sad. A father that lacks charity so profoundly that he would rather his wife and child commit mortal sins against the Seventh Commandment than fulfill their Sunday obligation. Yeah, just sad. I hope he has changed since then.

It was when the protests started that i really got radicalized. I realized no one cared about anyone else, its all a farce. Everyone is inherently greedy, its human nature. I want to strangle almost everyone in the white house, anyone who is any percent corrupt should get a firing squad. I absolutely hate all this neo lib/ neo con polices we have right now. I hate Donald trump because of how anti american he is. He only loves himself and yet half of this godforsaken country thinks he is chrism reborn, yet i'm sure he has never read the bible once in his life. The republican party is a shell of its former self and its disgusting.

I had a fight with one of my (former) best friends in university because she was convinced I was mad at her for some reason. She was super depressed because we stopped being friends that she bombed the semester, but I never felt anything negative towards her.
Before that, I had been on the boat that women didn't feel real "love" and that's why they moved on so quickly from relationships and such. Afterwards, I felt that women were just petty enough to ruin their own happiness and mental health over a dream, a rumor, or some bad advice from another miserable person.

I said something that made the schoolheadmaster so angry that he pointed threateningly at me and said in front of half the school: "you know what your problem is? You don't know your place!"
I could see that he instantly regretted speaking so savagely. He almost started to apologize or backtrack a little. I just thanked him. He said exactly what I needed to hear and he was exactly right.
Three years later I was teaching at the school, but at least then it was my place to meddle with the methods used.

Having to work with a tranny in a professional setting peaked me on left rhetoric. The troon I worked monopolized attention from the boss, would bring up celebrities just to dog them for being transphobic, wore programming socks, got mad at me for saying Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs was funny. Always talking over me. Always bitching about fellow employees who seemed fine otherwise. Until then, I was a perfect liberal handmaiden, but working with that tranny crumbled my entire belief system and I even plan to vote for Trump this year. #fuckem !

This obscure female podcaster I sometimes listen to has this thing about how you shouldn't waste time on what ifs because you don't have a time machine.
It changed my life. Not fretting about the past is a huge lifechanger and incredibly freeing.

I'd say several moments just conversing here, one lesson i've learned is to either do something or don't.... noone needs to know the progress of a personal project.
Thats just one Example.

I had this awesome ex special forces guy as a professor once. I never really treated school or responsibilities with any respect until one day when he was returning papers he just said "you're better than this," while handing mine back. Looking back now that was the beginning of years of hard personal growth. I wish I could see the guy again and say thanks.

More of a gradual realization than a singular event, but stay awhile and listen...
I used to think of myself as pretty left politically. I was for free speech, I didn't care if the gays wanted to get married, I thought we needed to be more environmentally aware ect.... Typical left leaning talking points. I had a 'live and let live' mentality, that if someone isn't hurting anyone or potentially causing harm in their actions, it's nobody's business what they choose to do with their lives.
Since the last decade, the left to me has done a complete turnaround on everything I thought they stood for. Free speech is only okay when it's to parrot their views, anyone else is some sort of -cist/-phobe/-ist hatemonger. The sheer authoritarianism, cognitive dissonance from them and absolute refusal to listen to differing views or admit another side may have a point on something made me take a look at why I was still involved with this party of immature, myopic hypocrites.
Came to realize my political affiliations lie more in libertarian beliefs than liberal ones and now just refer to myself as a libertarian if asked.

Until I think the 1980s it was believed that babies did not feel pain at all until about one year old. They would perform invasive surgery on babies with absolutely no anesthesia at all, and the baby would just suffer. I have no idea how they rationalized the screams. This is what I think about whenever pro-choice people dehumanize fetuses and pretend to be scientific about it.

Wasn't really one singular thing for me.
- Seeing centrist libertarians like Kekistanis being declared alt-rightists
- Seeing people who openly support ISIS walking around free in the west while seeing 90-year-old German WW2 veterans going to prison (and of course dying shortly after)
- Being told that traditional Christianity is horrible and oppressive by the same people who support Islam
- Seeing joggers brutalizing innocent whites being ignored by the (((media))) while the same kind of people getting shot by police becomes an understandable reason for riots
- Court enabled harassment of Christians minding their own business such as the Christian baker
- Having white bashing in every single media outlet being acceptable, while also being told you need to worry about "microaggressions"
- Increasingly extreme degeneracy becoming acceptable (e.g. LGBTQ(insert random shit here))
- Seeing churches getting put on hit lists for not accepting homosexuality
- Jewish megacorps supporting violent communists attacking people in the streets
- Constant historical alterations to maximize white wrongdoing while completely eliminating any and all non-white wrongdoing
- Jewish megacorps colluding to get rid of any and all wrong think
- Coming home from war (for Pissreal of course) and then being told "I'm privileged" by leftists trust fund babies in college
- Being told it doesn't matter that every western nation now has at least a few rapidly expanding non-western colonies, while also being told about the horrors of colonialism
- Not being able to go to my local shartmart, which pushed out every other store in the area without hearing a hundred different foreign languages
- Seeing Jews on social media calling for the deaths of all whites while also seeing random dumb boomers getting permabanned for dumb shit
- Destruction of any white monument being praised by the (((media))) while Moshe Shekelburg's attempt to draw a swastika on yet another MLK memorial gets blasted everywhere
- Overt brainwashing of kids to hate white culture in schools mostly paid for by whites
- Seeing the wanton cruelty of the people favored by supposed "representative" western governments

I don't hate them because they do this shit. I hate them because they do this shit while lying through their teeth about doing it. I hate them because they expect me to still play by the rules. I hate them because they genuinely seem to think they can lie to your face one day about something you know is a lie, then say "I never lie!" the next day.
