At my last job, when we needed to compact gravel and earth ,we had a manual roller. Thing must have weighed 400 lbs. We called it sisyphus. Nothing more badass than hearing your boss say

"go get sisyphus" ,and getting paid to work out.

I should just start a gamma camp where everyone has a sisyphus and we just level and compact wet clay and rock all day. just suffer the entire time. Dripping in sweat, whipping them into shape would change their life

Vox - any advice for dealing with a gamma father?

Don't argue with him. Let him pontificate and criticize all he likes. Don't defend yourself or fight back, just thank him for his help.

Then ignore everything he says and keep doing what you're doing. The key is not to tell him you're doing that. Let his Delusion Bubble convince him otherwise.

Now, Vox somehow can survive after so many attempts.

Is it possible for the normies who do not own their own platform to stay on his opinion without getting into swamp when navigating left-leaning social environment?

You may be able to do so as low to mid level employee, but not so easy if you want to be executives. Not very easy to find right-leaning corporate environment.

This is challenging in ageist, capitalist society where you are expected to get promoted or get fired. The system is designed to bankrupt middle class normies and one need to become like Vox (entrepreneur), getting into swamp (corporate executive), or live outside grid (like Amish) to survive.

I for one would like to thank the Gammas of the world for keeping us all sharp. Like Hans G. Schantz says, we can now survive & thrive in that created adversarial environment. Thank you for being your own worst enemy, Gamma. You are a vital part of the system.

"And to Adam he said: Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat, cursed is the earth in thy work; with labour and toil shalt thou eat thereof all the days of thy life."

Within the Curse is a means to build strength and endurance, if one can see it. We should be glad for the bread which God gives us as he strengthens us with toil and our own sweat.

Another hill on the journey, and one Vox will overcome.

One thing I have always loved about Vox is how strongly he pushes back against despair in the pack, specially during times where it is not unreasonable to feel a bit down.

Also loved Big Bear's words about it, now a veteran in this war after all he has been through since the first attack for standing for what is right.

As life gets tough I think about John 15 a lot. Jesus Christ had an answer for every question, a perfect rebuke for every gamma, a dodge for every bravo who came to kill him and innocence before every alpha. Yet he still had to fight every moment of his biblical life and promised that we would get it the same. It sucks the wind out of "woe is me" self pity to know that a guy who was simply the strongest, smartest, most powerful still can't get out of it even when begging with tears of blood.

"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember what I told you: β€˜A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also."

I was asking my husband of his childhood years in highschool 'why did you have to beat them up or make fun of them' he replied 'they were just so ugly they had to be put down'. I couldnt understand, it seemed like there was not a perceptible reason. Well, within the next decade their colors were revealed. One managed a girlfriend, she discovered herself and married a woman. Others couldn't hold on to quality women, always slobby monkey branchers. Always living for the past, never acknowledging the present and future.

Trump, an excellent though obvious example, thrives on attacks. I mention him because I've never seen anyone quite like it. It's an energy source.

"unless Man one day discovers the root cause for their psychological disorders and succeeds in curing it, we are always going to have to be ready for the disruptions that they cause."

I was recently reading AC's r/K selection theory. His description of the r-strategist is very similar to the description of the gamma male. There are a few insights there that suggest ways to mitigate the gamma's peculiar vices.

"It is known that many of these attacks are not ordered by executives of the responsible corporation, or triggered in response to a policy-violating action of the party targeted, but are performed by low-level employees whose actions are entirely unknown to their employers."

Hmm. So going over the heads of these perps should work, no? Making a big public fuss or threatening to?

We've been dealing with this sort of thing since 2008. There is literally no idea you can imagine that has not already been thought or tried.

They don't care in the slightest if you make a big public fuss, much less if you threaten to do so.

These types infest regulatory bodies, impose codes of conduct, and do not care if thesuicide rate in that trade goes up.

Then they are horrified when the competent have left and gone elsewhere. They lose sight of the reason their organization exists and ignore the damage they are doing.

And yes, have that T shirt. Sigmas are rare: these tac4ics work for the cast majority of people.

So even if these actions by low-level employees are made known to the executives, it makes no difference? The executives are OK with it? Or are the actual perps doing the unspoken bidden of the execs? "Will no-one rid us of this upstarts Dark Lord?" (I'm just trying to understand how this works; I don't know enough or have any relevant experience to make any kind of suggestion. Maybe the Darkstream I missed will enlighten me.)

If they can deplatform you without specifying your infraction, and that is legal, then I can see you would have very little legal standing to fight back from.

This sucks.

Correct. You will very seldom ever have any communication with the executives. Just try calling Amazon to talk to Jeff Bezos about your account. Never going to happen.

If you read the the Terms of Service, you would see that they have the right to kick anyone off their platform, at any time, for any reason.

And the fact that they lie about why they are kicking you off creates no damages, so you can't even fight that.

"And the fact that they lie about why they are kicking you off creates no damages, so you can't even fight that."

The Pharisaic bureaucracy protected by rules and word magic.

This will persist until the host system dies, unless the head of the organization takes harsh action to restore justice at the lowest levels. The overhead and inertia against that is going to favor system death and complete replacement.

In general, all of these attacks boil down to gammas defending their delusion bubbles. Even though you may not attack them directly they perceive your very existence as a threat. They can't just let you exist because there's too much on the line for them personally.

This latest round might be part of the last hurrah of a defunded machine. I predicted that the enemy would eventually start getting their act together and mount efforts more effective than the interpretive dance attacks being waged in front of government buildings.

Keep up the fight and keep those bass lines coming, man. Some of us love a good jam.

This reminds me of a book I read yesterday, Good to Great by Jim Collins. In Chapter 4 Confront the Brutal Facts (And Never Lose Faith), he recounts the incredible story of Admiral Jim Stockdale. He was the highest ranking military officer in the Hanoi Hilton PoW camp. The man endured 7 and a half years of regular torture and isolation. When asked which people didn't survive in captivity he said,

"Oh, that's easy, the optimists. Oh, they were the ones who said, 'We're going to be out by Christmas.' And Christmas would come, and Christmas would go. Then they'd say, 'We're going to be out by Easter.' And Easter would come, and Easter would go. And then Thanksgiving, and then it would be Christmas again. And they died of a broken heart. This is a very important lesson. You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the endβ€”which you can never afford to loseβ€”with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be."

While the Ankle Biters plot and scheme to shut you down with their next attack, you can be supremely confident that you'll win in the end. All it requires is brutal honesty to accept the situation you're in and the choice to believe in God's plan for you.

Or as John Wayne's character in the Seekers put it:

"Ethan: Injun will chase a thing till he thinks he's chased it enough. Then he quits. Same way when he runs. Seems like he never learns there's such a thing as a critter that'll just keep comin' on. So we'll find 'em in the end, I promise you. We'll find 'em. Just as sure as the turnin' of the earth."
