"As a Nazi, why should I tolerate all the many different cultures that people have and life with?
I have decided that I will tolerate it no longer, and any non-German person I ever meet, I will instantly regard as of lesser intelligence and inferior and treat them as such".

I don’t get these kinds of people.

Religion isn’t perfect, I agree. However, it makes people who are a part of it happy and gives them some purpose.

Even people outside of the religion could learn not only about the people and idea behind it, but also how they could possibly apply that same idea to their own lives to some extent.

It baffles my mind how empty and boring things must feel if you are so convinced that other belief structures can't even offer a single good idea you might not have thought of.

It's also funny to think about being an arrogant teenager - we've all been there, it's natural - but how are you 15 and incapable of understanding that someone who is 30 or 40 may have stumbled on some insight you haven't? Nigga don't try to explain macroeconomics when you've never even paid a phone bill.

We've all been an arrogant teenager, yeah. But the edgy religion phase thing (much like political or philosophical phases), in my experience at least, stems from that arrogance mixing with a bitterness at your classmates for not liking you or (even worse) for not acknowledging you as THE smartest person in school. When you're 13, saying "your God isn't real" to your middle school classmates on facebook and watching the ensuing shitstorm unfold in the comments gives you this illusion of intelligence and power. You think, "aha, they're angry at my intelligence and are desperately trying to cope with their tiny brains," when in reality they're just mildly annoyed that you're antagonizing people with no motivation beyond petty bitterness. No matter what, you end up regretting willfully reducing your chances of making friends in your class to zero and you end up cringing at the contrast between how smart you believed you were and how naive you actually were.

Again, though, this is just based on personal experience and observations; I have no idea why people beyond the age of 16 act like this.

(Apologies if the following images have already been posted, I don't THINK they have been, and they're very relevant)

I think this is a parody, I can't imagine he isn't aware of the fedora meme in ~current year~.

The framed Pokemon poster and Final Fantasy VII poster in the back really make this one...

Did no one noticed that cat/dog sticking it's head from the ceiling in the background?
I just noticed it and I'm wondering what the heck is that.

Let me help you with that - it's a paper crafted celling cat.

You can print and glue one yourself. But I have no idea why would you want it unironically.

EDIT: Didn't read the next page. Already answered.

The one guy I knew that was like this, it was because him being really book smart was all he had going for him. Kind of like people that use their sexuality as an identity. With out their identifying trait they're really boring people.

Why do people self-censor themselves on personal accounts on social media? Like...it's okay to swear, I promise. It's baffling.

They know that their parents monitor their social media accounts and they don't want to upset mommy and possibly have her take internet privileges away again.
 
I'm trying not to powerlevel so I'll keep it paraphrased. Just the other day, I called out someone ripping a banana and eating it before paying. His response?

"Fuck off, it's just one shitty banana. I'm an attorney*, what are you? Some stupid wage monkey on a power trip? Look at you watching the door, I bet you dropped out of college."


Hold up. You make better money than me but you can't buy a "shitty" banana?
* Not sure what he said but it doesn't matter; he still has his head far up his asshole.
