Hate to be a downer but...

Stoicism. You only have the power to change things for YOU. Let go of all that is making you rage - rage is nothing but stress and hurts only you. Look in the mirror and decide who you are - not what you have - but who you are deep inside of you. Now decide if your life is up to par with who you really are. If the answer is that it's not up to par, focus all of your energy in getting it up to par. You want purpose? You have to create it. There is no nation, no race, no women, no family worth fighting for - these things cannot be your purpose. You must create and forge your identity to the maximum of your own potential and what you see in yourself.

Pro tip: force yourself to take a sarcastic, amused approach when perusing this subreddit and instead of raging at the material, laugh at the world and thank god you know what else to protect yourself from.

But is this really the life we think we ought to be living? I fucking loathe it.

So do something else that makes you happy. If nothing makes you happy, then go do something stupid.

How else can I free myself and get the thrill I’m looking for??

Go hunt cape buffalo with a single shot .22

I'm one of those "severely fucked up" types who loves life.

It's probably because I view life a little differently, and probably because I've been medically dead a few times that caused brain death of my hate center (I kept the sardonic neurons).

See I don't take life seriously. At all. Life is much easier if you just play it like a video game. Your problem is, perhaps, you take things too seriously. I take life as a bullshit video game and adventure in it, exploring, traveling the map, doing side quests. I just make things exciting, or maybe my life is exciting to me. I'm sure it's boring to other people, but then who gives a fuck what others think anyway? I'm not a performing monkey for them.

Like I'll make Thanksgiving dinner a week early. Why? Who knows. Then I'll go to Vegas. Why? Sidequest time. Maybe I'll drop $50 on a throw of craps or something. Then I'll go drive through the Rockies and get stoned in CO or maybe go tubing down a hill. Why? Because why not? Who knows what might happen? I'll probably do some camping, get eaten by a cougar, eat some hallucinogenic mushrooms, shit post on reddit; I'll probably just play random mode after that and go drink Bourbon at a distillery in Kentucky or go ice skating in Rockefeller center, which I don't even know if that's still a real thing or not. Since the weather will end up being quite nippy I'll go to Florida and shoot some machine guns.

Add a little adventure. And this is neither expensive nor unattainable.

Live a life of fun and adventure and don't get hung up on bullshit.

Start small, change your brain.

MGTOW to me has not a whole lot to do with shit posting about feminists and how retarded they are on social media. That's just fun.

It has to do with having a James Bond license to kill. You can get away with anything. I don't mean robbing banks or that nonsense. I mean once you shed those last chains you realize how many fun things you can do. Opportunities become endless. It's freedom to roll the dice and pick a random destination. I don't even plan this shit out anymore. The thing is, marriage and society are just chains holding you down to keep you pushing that boulder up a never ending hill.

That's why I do it. There's whiskey to drink and adventure to do.

If physical violence is your thing, learn to box or do some MMA type shit. Really waste your opponent.

Can't help you there, sorry comrade

Be a musician/truck driver or musician/welder or musician/general contractor and you'll make plenty. Society is completely cucked, but we at least know something other men don't. Avoiding the problems women bring will make the struggle that is life a little easier. Good luck!

well you probably we're born with 1 arm in haiti. Round up 80 bucks and google your local asian massage

The best part of life is being your own rock. The journey is just as much as the destination. Enjoy the trek, the journey, the strife and sorrow as long as it gets you somewhere.

I need a breakthrough.

Maybe you're in one now. But I suspect rage and red wine could reduce your mileage a bit.

It it gives you any comfort, I've felt that same feeling many times. It's subsided with age but there were some bad times.

Give it time. Anger is a normal response in the face of perceived injustice. The price of knowledge is not always cheap.

See a therapist dude.

Music really doesnt pay, i hate to say it but you either need to be female or kiss major ass to get anywhere. That or sell your soul. I know it may be a passion but following your heart with that is not going to get you anywhere.

Youve been beating your head against a brick wall with it, if you havent taken off you need to act like water n see where low ground is and where it can run passed the wall you arent breaking through.

Stop drinking, it turns your brains into jello

Join the Marine Corps. USMC birthday is Nov. 10th. Good day to enlist.

I'm seeing a lot of drunken anger, and I love it. Per normal society I'm a drunken angry piece of shit, but during the day I suppress that shit and do my job, then go home and drink.

"I just want to get up and fight for something. I want to be courageous. I basically want to fight and have purpose. I want to live and die how I choose." Well I've got good news for you. As you are a 23 year old male you can join any American Military Branch of your choice. I'd personally recommend Army just based on my personal experiences, but you can literally take your pick of where you want to go. I'm not sure what the enlistment bonuses are, but I re-enlist next week for a lump sum bonus of $20k.

I joined the Army at 23 and went back to school on the GI bill. Paid zero dollars out of pocket for my AA degree in IT, and now am a IT Director making decent money. Going to get that bonus while in the reserves next week. You feel like you need to fuck or kill? This year I'm going to Germany for an exercise where prostitution is legal. I'm going to mock kill for three weeks, then bang whores for 50 Euro.

Protip: your interest in being a musician can actually land you a job as a musician in the Army. Divisions have military bands, and you can literally get paid to play music for the armed forces, while enjoying all the other pay/ancillary benefits of being in the military.

This account is a throw-away that I check every now and then. PM me if you want any advice in joining the military.
