I look at the state of the world with Chinese bioweapons triggering plandemics, election riggers pulling off a socialist coup, alphabet people pushing degeneracy, low IQ immigrants overruning most Western countries, central bank inflation wrecking every economy, and the NPC plebes cheering on the demise of their civilizations.

While my spouse and I are both high IQ, based, and hyper-competent...it appears that clown world is overrun by more civilization destroying retards than a Hollywood zombie movie. In a practical sense we could Go Galt and retire to a money fort in BFE to wait out the clown world zombie apocalypse, but that doesn't solve the psychological challenge of watching civilization implode with no hope of rebuilding within our lifetime.

Serious question: how do I avoid becoming a misanthrope who hates humanity for commiting societal seppuku? How do I avoid waking up every day, looking at the shitshow going on, and thinking "I hope you NPCs get everything you want. You can all identify as ponykin while alphabet people rape your kids. You can have your safe spaces until you get thrown in a Gulag 2.0 with a tenner for Article 58. You can have your central banking until you're burning fiat currency to stay warm. You can have your Socialism and enjoy starving. I told you so, now #NoahGetTheBoat so I can watch you normies suffer and die from your self-inflicted problems."

I know that's a disastrous approach to take from a mental health perspective, so I'm hoping someone can provide advice on how to find optimism in clown world.

Is there a glimmer of hope somewhere? A long view I'm missing? Some grand societal pendulum swing back to sanity on the horizon?

Your only possibility would be to become wilfully delusional/ ignorant. Attempt to brainwash yourself. But what sane person would want to do that? Sorry, the world is shit, people are shit. Youre right to be disgusted. Embrace the hate. Its a sign of sanity and intelligence in these times.

Keep your empathy, and keep it for people who are worth it. Blood relatives, your spouse, and so on.
Other than that, work under the assumption that people aren't worth giving a damn about, unless they've proven otherwise.

For those people, try to be and live as the Übermensch: Not by trying to find, but by creating purpose. Shape the world in your image, to any extent you can.

Nietzsche believed that without god, there's no purpose, morality, change, unless we make it. I believe he was right about that.

The answer is as simple as its implementation is challenging: Do your part.

I struggle with this, too. It is hard for me to not hate, but I also take some solace in that I rarely hate an individual, as opposed to hating what they are and represent. I hate them for the consequences of what they choose to be and their choice to mock God's creation and command.

So you have lots of hate with ZERO utility? Hate is an emotional tool to help you destroy your enemies, if you don't individualize it, all you're hating is a part of your own imagination.

Impotent ragemonkey.

I believe, in your imagined intellectual superiority, that you misunderstood what I said and thought it was thag moment you had been waiting for to voice something that sounded good in your head. Lots of baseless assumptions in your shitbrained prose, discounting the logical fallacies that a potato could discern. I start to see why American whites are getting cucked.

Is this one of your back pocket copypastas for when you're too lazy to actually respond? Why even bother with such generic content?

It's a malthusian cycle.

Intelligence will continue to decline, it has been doing so for centuries. We've banked a lot of surplus and we're quickly eating at it. Low IQ individuals are the one making lots of kids and their stupid kids will make more. This will lead to a conservative backlash against leftist eccentricities and degeneracies. Depending on how old you are, you might see that in your old age. After that, society will collapse due to an inability to produce enough for the massive population (just like South Africa can't maintain the power grid with their falling national IQ) and generalized famine and death will wipe a large chunk of humanity. Then the IQ will start to rise again.

Or maybe we'll partly break away from the cycle. We'll end up with genetically engineered overlords that won't be part of this genetic crash and will be the shepherds of mankind.

Confronted with this, some people fall into a sort of existential angst/dread or misanthropy. I think it's alright, we're part of nature and there is beauty in that. We are living in interesting, if frustrating.

Have a lot of kids, teach them well and hope they'll have a lot of kids as well. Help your family. That's the least you can do.

Don't; the disgust is there for a reason. It would be terrible if you no longer could smell the decaying corpses of our society.

The things that have been put into motion will take centuries to fix, just like it has been centuries in the making. As far as you're concerned, you're generation clownworld. Sorry.

It's all downhill from there.

That's a large part of why it's so distressing. It was caused by people who're dead, and any possible recovery won't occur until after I'm long dead. The normies may be blissfully ignorant, but I know damn well how this Communist catastrophe occurs every single time.

You could move to china. They will be the world's next super power as long as we keep Democrats in office. At least there, society should be different. I don't think they follow Hollywood so at least their subversion will be a new system for you to learn.

No disagreement here. But you would be able to get away from the usual idiots.

At that point it's just picking whether the slave master is in Beijing, Washington, the UN, etc.

is this something youve decided for yourself, or is the hand-clasping goblin in your head trying to influence you back onto the reserve?

For myself. Ruminating on how the West destroyed itself, how there's nothing I can do about it, and how much contempt I hold for the NPCs who are reveling in its fall. That does nothing but breed continual loathing for them and stress over my inability to do anything either to stop it or independent of it (because the NPCs are going to tear everything down sooner or later).

I find avoiding people really helps me with that.

The less I find myself interacting with people, the less misanthropic I feel. Its actually really simple.

watching civilization implode with no hope of rebuilding within our lifetime.

Start rebuilding now. The next dominant form of economic negotiation will be up and running before the collapse, and absorb the collapsed resources like a mold, especially human resources.

hates humanity for commiting societal seppuku

Hate, and increase your hate towards the ones killing society. Love, and increase your love towards those fighting back - to preserve tradition, to build new and better - love those struggling to overcome the incoming future. Humans aren't a monolith; draw a line defining your ingroup and outgroups, and stop feeling as though you're outside and above it all.
