I remember watching a video on r\watchpeopledie where a group of 5 Brazilian youth beat the ever living shit out one dude. The dude is probably dead but one just kept beating the dudes head. He kept at it until he can reach into his head and pull out chunks of brain. People think we live in a world where vigilante justice stops when the target is incapacitated but really we live in a world where people will mutilate like a pack of hyenas. The line between civilized and savagery is razor thin.

I am truly starting to realize that that is the difference between the right and left. The realization that at any moment your comfort and safety can be striped away. People are left because they view the world like a child. A perspective that the world is full of shadows of death rather than very real torment. People need to be black pilled, not red pilled. Cynicism is your friend in the darkness.

Personally, I think that the Christian religion (the only true religion IMO) is the only way out of this mess.

Ancient Athens and Rome have always been romanticized as the height of civilization, but we all know they reveled in savagery. Achilles killed and tortured the corpse of Hector for the entire world to see. The Romans had the coliseum where gladiators (mostly war captives) were routinely pitched against each other, hungry lions and all sort of wild beasts.

People are inherently savage, like the animals. The blackpill is like philosophy; it gives you the 'how' but doesn't give you the 'why'. Religion goes beyond the blackpill and truly get people out of that darkness.

Let's be honest, you can tolerate only so much distrust in your heart before you snap. Once you have snapped, it's only going to spiral downward. That's why I really believe Christianity is the path for us to transcend beyond our basic instincts towards the light, and finally become Man.

That’s what salvation is. You can now see by the grace of God the darkness to which you were previously blind.

A cynicist is an emotional person who has been deprived of his ideals (disappointed, you could say) and now looks at everyone with suspicion and fear. With God, you see the darkness in others but you can also forgive, and deal with reality in a dispassionate way.

There is no turmoil. You just respond in the way the situation warrants.

If you are a Christian, then you know the heart of man is wicked and depraved.
