What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo. I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I'm [explicit] but I don't care, I'm beautiful. I'm having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me "Apache" and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can't accept me you're a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding. You have made a massive mistake. Doing this for me would have made you a symbol in the world of intellect and literature. It is so typical for someone like you to forget this. It is so typical for someone like you to use abbreviated words. I was prepared to open your world to my knowledge and share my stories and art, with you. You will forever regret the choice you just made, so I will offer to let you do this project again. If you do not, you will have to face the consequences. DO IT, just DO IT! Don't let your dreams be dreams. Yesterday, you said tomorrow. So just. DO IT! Make. your dreams. COME TRUE! Just... do it! Some people dream of success, while you're gonna wake up and work HARD at it! NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!You should get to the point where anyone else would quit, and you're not gonna stop there. NO! What are you waiting for? ... DO IT! Just... DO IT! Yes you can! Just do it! If you're tired of starting over, stop. giving. up. If Ronaldo has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Ronaldo has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Ronaldo has only one fan then that is me. If Ronaldo has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Ronaldo, then I am against the world. To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewers head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂<br>And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Is anyone else actually offended / traumatized by the hanging troonjak meme? I’m actually transgender and have been transitioning since 2017. I’ve browsed 4cuck since about 2015 and I really hate seeing the hanging troonjak meme because it highlights a lot of insecurities for me (such as a male face, stubble which I constantly have to shave, masculine facial structure). Every time I see the hanging troonjak meme I have to go look at myself in the mirror and make sure that I don’t look like it. I hate to imagine myself as that caricature. Everyone on /lgbt/ (which is a hatebox if anything) says that I pass which is very nice and I’m happy that my transition has gone well for me. The hanging troonjak meme also obviously depicts suicide. I have attempted suicide and been hospitalized for it many times, mainly because of gender dysphoria. When I see the hanging troonjak meme I am reminded of these attempts and it brings back traumatic flashbacks for me. I relive these bad times in my life. The people that post the hanging troonjak meme also tend to post bad post-op pics. I had my bottom surgery in 2019 and have a fully functional neovagina, and after these last few years I rarely have to dilate it (the dilation at this point is mainly just done via sex with my boyfriend) but man I cannot explain how fucking excruciating the pain was for the first year. Absolutely unbearable. I had to get prescribed oxycodone just to be able to handle it. When these bad post op pics get posted it reminds me of this EXTREMELY painful time in my life, and brings about all the dysphoric thoughts I had back then (mainly shit like “OH THE MEMES WERE TRUE YOU’RE GONNA REGRET THIS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!” would go through my head 24/7 for the first year, but once it healed and I could have sex with it, these thoughts went away and I became extremely happy when I could have legitimate PIV sex with my boyfriend). Can you guys please stop posting the hanging troonjak meme? It’s really offensive, and really triggering for MtF transgender people. I just want to be able to have fun and post soyjak memes on this website with you guys, because I love soyjak and have made a lot of soyjak memes and I upload them to the soybooru all the time, but I hate seeing the trannyjak edits. It’s so overused, it’s so spammed, and it’s not even funny. You could be posting GEMson but instead you post this stupid meme that depicts a caricature of trans people and makes fun of the extreme struggles that we go through when we make the transision. It’s not funny, it’s just cruel, sad, pathetic, and stupid. And it’s just posted by a by a bunch of incels who are trannies in denial in the first place. I call upon soyjak.party to stop posting hanging troonjak immediately! DUDE i just LOVE the hustle and bustle of the big city, it’s so DYNAMIC and makes me feel like i’m in one of my favourite TV SHOWS. you should totally come on down to my studio apartment, it’s got EXPOSED RED BRICK walls and everything, we can crack open a nice hoppy ipa or three and get crazy watching some cartoons on adult swim! and dude, dude, DUDE, we have GOTTA go down to the barcade- listen here, right, it’s a BAR where us ADULTS who do ADULTING can go DRINK. BUT!!!! it’s also an ARCADE like when we were kids, so we can play awesome VIDEO GAMES, without dumb kids bothering us. speaking of which megan and i have finally decided to tie the knot- literally -we’re both getting snipped tomorrow at the hospital, that way we can save money to spent more on ourselves and our FURBABIES. i’m fuckin JACKED man, i’m gonna SLAM this craft beer and pop open another one!!! I am going to kill the President of the United States Joe Biden. Who lives at 1209 Barley Mill Rd Wilmington DE 19807. This will be the weapon I kill him with. I'm doing this because Biden refuses to do diplomacy with Russia and the ever growing threat of nuclear weapons. I hope that by doing this, I will be executing a key figure of the WASP Anglo-American power structure. As a lot of people will try to make excuses, I am completely serious, I do not fear the FBI and after this post goes up I will be driving to his house. I put multiple layers of transparent duct tape over my license plates (completely legal) so it'll be extremely hard for people to read my license plate. In 2020, I was laid off work because of a virus Anthony Fauci manufactured, now I am on multiple government benefits and I'm hanging on by a thread from falling into the pit of homelessness. Ever since this, I have had a burning rage against the DNC and every member of it. My hate grows stronger each day. In 2016, I voted Donald J. Trump to help FIX THIS COUNTRY, yet he did nothing, I have come to the conclusion that there is NO PEACEFUL SOLUTION. I think the election was stolen, but I also think there were DNC NIGGERS that actually voted Biden into office. I suggest, no, endorse any violence against liberals and DNC operatives until this country is fixed. I think we should kill key figures of the DNC and light fires in colleges. My passenger seat has about 50 pounds of ANFO sitting on it with a detonator on it, if anything goes south in my journey, I will try to drive near a public school and detonate it, hopefully killing the indoctrinators and the indoctrinatees. You may say killing children is wrong, but it's completely necessary and it's the only way to harm an enemy so deeply rooted in the power structure. The communists killed tons of innocent people and got their foot in the door, I think we should try the same, except bigger. Heh, so I finally found your disgusting hiding grounds.... I expected the site to look better, but that's fine. So, you think it's funny to raid 4cuck, huh? You think it's funny to spam our boards with your filthy mspaint drawings of bald men with glasses?? You seem to forget that we are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. We are an underground society of cold ruthless brutal psychopaths that consume fucked up shit for breakfast. We see an old lady getting shot, we laugh. We see a cat getting skinned alive, we laugh. We see a toddler hanged, we laugh. We see a woman raped and we demand more... We are people who spend hours every day for YEARS numbing ourselves to all the fucked up shit.. And we enjoy it.. Our veterans have spent almost 2 decades on our site... Now, do you REALLY think it is wise to mess with us? We ruined peoples' lives, doxxed them, changed the outcome of the fucking elections, and did racist shit... We fucking made "Hitler did nothing wrong" win as the new name for Mountain Dew... We took down anti-Trump flags... We used to raid games and form huge swastikas... AND WE FUCKING LAUGHED AT IT! We have gathered massive collections of anime, katanas, manga, and so on, while you only continue to spam wojaks. Your little safespace of little babies that haven't been exposed to the internet won't last long... I'd feel bad for you, but it is what you deserve. If you continue raiding 4cuck, you will feel the worst shitstorm of your fucking life, kiddos. Do NOT mess with 4cuck ever fucking again. You are trying to trigger people that want to kill millions of liberals, homosexuals and kikes.. We are not afraid of you.. We will fucking bury you. We are the site that started all chans.. And we will be the site that will fuck you up. Reconsider raiding us from now on, because the consequences will be fucking disastrous for you, "soyteens". You are messing with millions of weaponized autists and psychopaths. Kek wills it. gem because it makes fun of that retarded faggot ls mark. i hate him so fucking much, people who like sonic heroes shouldn't even register as human beings. sonic heroes is one of the shittiest sonic games ever made, and to be honest you could make an argument that its the worst sonic game ever made, even beating out other turds like 06, shadow, boom rise of lyric, forces, etc. literally nothing about that game is any good. the game controls like garbage. the graphics are somehow worse than adventure 2. the game is supposedly multiplatform yet the ports to xbox and pc are noticeably botched and the ps2 version is inexcusably poor (the ps2 might be shittier than the xbox and gamecube in terms of power but it does not excuse the fact it runs at 30fps while the other versions run at 60). the game is very buggy, i know sonic games were never the pinnacle of coding and this game isn't 06 tier broken, but it's broken enough where it's a detriment. the art style is shit, it tries SO SO HARD to emulate the environments in the Genesis games but it lacks any of the attention to detail those games had so outside of the first level they just look shitty bootlegs of those games. it's no better than the shitty Mario-tier levels Sonic Lost World had or the unnecessary recycling of old zones in Sonic Forces. the voice acting is somehow worse than how it is in Sonic Adventure 2. Ryan Drummond has this urge to yell every single line he says and DONT fucking get me started on the mentally retarded kid they used to voice Tails. the fact Big the Faggot Mentally Disabled Cat is back in any sort of capacity other than an easter egg is sad. Big the Cat is easily one of, if not the worst of Sonic's friends (not counting spinoffs like X, the comics, etc.), he's an unfunny retard with a grating, retarded voice courtesy of the faggot known as Jon St. John WHO NEEDS TO FUCKING DIE ALREADY (duke is cool thoughbeit i just hate Jon St. John). the fact retarded twitter trannies are now acting like Big wasn't anything but a terrible mistake that Sega should cover up as much as possible makes me so enraged. the story is awful. i know Sonic isn't a game meant for its deep themes or plotlines but the "GUYZ... WE'RE... LE SONIC HEROOOOOOOOOOESSSS...FRIENDS... LE GGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDD" shit is so fucking grating and obnoxious and infantile that it makes me want to snap the game disk in half (other than the fact that Sonic Heroes is a garbage game). the absolutely HIDEOUS CGI renders they use for the artwork and in-game cutscenes are horrifically ugly. the chaos emerald stages are infuriating, not challenging. the multiplayer is a massive step down from SA2 Battle. the game asks you to play the game's campaign FOUR FUCKING TIMES in order to truly complete it, with the only differences being a fucking difficulty slider. oh i'm sorry, i forgot the fact that team chaotix gameplay consists of doing shitty fetch quests. THE SAME, SHITTY FETCH QUESTS YOU DO IN SHADOW, BUT THEY'RE LE GOOOD HERE AND LE BAD IN SHADOW becuase idk, maybe the tranny autists who are so deluded in believing Sonic Heroes has any entertainment value (among other delusions) have nostalgia for it and they seethe at Shadow the Hedgehog for being a nazi incel chud who exercises his second amendment rights. and repeating the same levels THREE MORE FUCKING TIMES without any major changes IS LE GOOOOOOODDDDD but WHEN SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG LETS YOU CHOOSE WHAT LEVELS YOU WANT TO PLAY FROM A LARGE SELECTION THROUGH GAMEPLAY DECISIONS its le bad because "OH NO!!!! YOU MIGHT HAVE TO PLAY WESTOPOLIS TEN TIMES!!! OH MY ST. FLOYD THIS IS THE WROST THING EVER, WHY WOULD I WANNA PLAY WESTOPOLIS TEN TIMES WHEN I CAN PLAY SUCH AMAZING (well to trannies only) LEVELS LIKE RAIL CANYON AND BINGO HIGHWAY!!!!" the bosses are dull and uninspired. Rocket Accel is one of the worst moves in Sonic history. the level up system is unnecessary and makes the game more complicated for no good reason. the level design is trash. it doesn't let you exercise formation switching in any meaningful way. when you see a fan, its power time! when you see a long stretch of land or two parallel walls, it's speed time! when you see a ledge, it's fly time! when you see big enemies with obnoxiously large health bars, its power time again! i think i've made a clear, impossible to counter (because i'm right) argument for why sonic heroes is an irredeemable piece of trash. but somehow, mentally ill faggots like r/LS "I suck tranny dick and watch shitty cartoons for a living" Mark have came onto the scene with their retarded opinions and their ugly ass cartoonsonas, trying to somehow delude the masses that this shitty game is THE BEST SONIC GAME EVER MADE, let alone good or even passable. they are posers, they are an insult to real Sonic fans, who can recognize that outside of music, there is nothing salvageable from Sonic Heroes, other than lessons on how exactly not to make a Sonic game. yet whenever this poser tries to go against a real GOD of sonic knowledge like Cybershell he gets instantly BTFOd due to how much of a disingenuous retard he really is. in a just world this would be the point where he deletes all of his videos and kills himself out of pure embarrassment of being so BTFOd. but this world is not just, and so he continues to make shitty videos where he sits through 500 episodes of some shitty cartoon and rambles about it for five hours. i hope his fucking retarded mexican bpd whore girlfriend who's like 10 years older than him (probably because no one his age would want to have sex with this retard) fucking leaves him and gaslights him into committing suicide. FUCK HIM

Der Holocaust hat nicht stattgefunden.
Der Zweite Weltkrieg hätte fast nicht stattgefunden. Der Holocaust hat nicht stattgefunden (ich verspreche es). Und lassen Sie mich Ihnen sagen, warum! Erst einmal! Sechsmillionen! Macht überhaupt keinen Sinn! Mit 52 Öfen hätten sie täglich 2.740 Juden verbrennen müssen. Es braucht! Zwei Stunden! Einen menschlichen Körper verbrennen! Und hol dir eine Ladung davon: Die Öfen befanden sich im ZWEITEN STOCK! Ist es sinnvoll, dass eine „Gaskammer“ Holztüren hat?
Natürlich nicht! Was wirklich geschah, war, dass das Gas verwendet wurde, um die Ausbreitung einer durch Läuse verursachten Krankheit namens „Typhus“ zu stoppen! Dies erklärt auch die rasierten Köpfe, Haarbüschel und emanzipierten Körper. NICHT HUNGERN! Die Belüftung wurde nach dem Krieg hinzugefügt. Und der Schornstein ist noch nicht einmal am Gebäude befestigt!?! Die Konzentrationslager dienten nur der Arbeit (nur der Arbeit). Kriegsgefangene wurden entschädigt und hatten Aktivitäten.
Alle Bilder, die Sie gesehen haben, waren manipuliert, verstehen Sie? Es ist alles eine LÜGE! LÜGE! LÜGE! LÜGE! LÜGE! GROSSE FETTE LÜGE!
Der Holocaust hat nicht stattgefunden. Der Zweite Weltkrieg ist fast alles eine Lüge. Der Holocaust hat nicht stattgefunden (ich verspreche es).
Und! Ich hoffe! Jetzt wissen Sie warum!

INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY AND ITS FUTURE
Introduction

1. The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.

2. The industrial-technological system may survive or it may break down. If it survives, it MAY eventually achieve a low level of physical and psychological suffering, but only after passing through a long and very painful period of adjustment and only at the cost of permanently reducing human beings and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine. Furthermore, if the system survives, the consequences will be inevitable: There is no way of reforming or modifying the system so as to prevent it from depriving people of dignity and autonomy.

3. If the system breaks down the consequences will still be very painful. But the bigger the system grows the more disastrous the results of its breakdown will be, so if it is to break down it had best break down sooner rather than later.

4. We therefore advocate a revolution against the industrial system. This revolution may or may not make use of violence; it may be sudden or it may be a relatively gradual process spanning a few decades. We can’t predict any of that. But we do outline in a very general way the measures that those who hate the industrial system should take in order to prepare the way for a revolution against that form of society. This is not to be a POLITICAL revolution. Its object will be to overthrow not governments but the economic and technological basis of the present society.

5. In this article we give attention to only some of the negative developments that have grown out of the industrial-technological system. Other such developments we mention only briefly or ignore altogether. This does not mean that we regard these other developments as unimportant. For practical reasons we have to confine our discussion to areas that have received insufficient public attention or in which we have something new to say. For example, since there are well-developed environmental and wilderness movements, we have written very little about environmental degradation or the destruction of wild nature, even though we consider these to be highly important.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MODERN LEFTISM

6. Almost everyone will agree that we live in a deeply troubled society. One of the most widespread manifestations of the craziness of our world is leftism, so a discussion of the psychology of leftism can serve as an introduction to the discussion of the problems of modern society in general.

7. But what is leftism? During the first half of the 20th century leftism could have been practically identified with socialism. Today the movement is fragmented and it is not clear who can properly be called a leftist. When we speak of leftists in this article we have in mind mainly socialists, collectivists, “politically correct” types, feminists, gay and disability activists, animal rights activists and the like. But not everyone who is associated with one of these movements is a leftist. What we are trying to get at in discussing leftism is not so much movement or an ideology as a psychological type, or rather a collection of related types. Thus, what we mean by “leftism” will emerge more clearly in the course of our discussion of leftist psychology. (Also, see paragraphs 227-230.)

8. Even so, our conception of leftism will remain a good deal less clear than we would wish, but there doesn’t seem to be any remedy for this. All we are trying to do here is indicate in a rough and approximate way the two psychological tendencies that we believe are the main driving force of modern leftism. We by no means claim to be telling the WHOLE truth about leftist psychology. Also, our discussion is meant to apply to modern leftism only. We leave open the question of the extent to which our discussion could be applied to the leftists of the 19th and early 20th centuries.

9. The two psychological tendencies that underlie modern leftism we call “feelings of inferiority” and “oversocialization.” Feelings of inferiority are characteristic of modern leftism as a whole, while oversocialization is characteristic only of a certain segment of modern leftism; but this segment is highly influential.

FEELINGS OF INFERIORITY

10. By “feelings of inferiority” we mean not only inferiority feelings in the strict sense but a whole spectrum of related traits; low self-esteem, feelings of powerlessness, depressive tendencies, defeatism, guilt, self- hatred, etc. We argue that modern leftists tend to have some such feelings (possibly more or less repressed) and that these feelings are decisive in determining the direction of modern leftism.

11. When someone interprets as derogatory almost anything that is said about him (or about groups with whom he identifies) we conclude that he has inferiority feelings or low self-esteem. This tendency is pronounced among minority rights activists, whether or not they belong to the minority groups whose rights they defend. They are hypersensitive about the words used to designate minorities and about anything that is said concerning minorities. The terms “negro,” “oriental,” “handicapped” or “chick” for an African, an Asian, a disabled person or a woman originally had no derogatory connotation. “Broad” and “chick” were merely the feminine equivalents of “guy,” “dude” or “fellow.” The negative connotations have been attached to these terms by the activists themselves. Some animal rights activists have gone so far as to reject the word “pet” and insist on its replacement by “animal companion.” Leftish anthropologists go to great lengths to avoid saying anything about primitive peoples that could conceivably be interpreted as negative. They want to replace the world “primitive” by “nonliterate.” They seem almost paranoid about anything that might suggest that any primitive culture is inferior to our own. (We do not mean to imply that primitive cultures ARE inferior to ours. We merely point out the hypersensitivity of leftish anthropologists.)

12. Those who are most sensitive about “politically incorrect” terminology are not the average black ghetto- dweller, Asian immigrant, abused woman or disabled person, but a minority of activists, many of whom do not even belong to any “oppressed” group but come from privileged strata of society. Political correctness has its stronghold among university professors, who have secure employment with comfortable salaries, and the majority of whom are heterosexual white males from middle- to upper-middle-class families.

13. Many leftists have an intense identification with the problems of groups that have an image of being weak (women), defeated (American Indians), repellent (homosexuals) or otherwise inferior. The leftists themselves feel that these groups are inferior. They would never admit to themselves that they have such feelings, but it is precisely because they do see these groups as inferior that they identify with their problems. (We do not mean to suggest that women, Indians, etc. ARE inferior; we are only making a point about leftist psychology.)

14. Feminists are desperately anxious to prove that women are as strong and as capable as men. Clearly they are nagged by a fear that women may NOT be as strong and as capable as men.

15. Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good and successful. They hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality. The reasons that leftists give for hating the West, etc. clearly do not correspond with their real motives. They SAY they hate the West because it is warlike, imperialistic, sexist, ethnocentric and so forth, but where these same faults appear in socialist countries or in primitive cultures, the leftist finds excuses for them, or at best he GRUDGINGLY admits that they exist; whereas he ENTHUSIASTICALLY points out (and often greatly exaggerates) these faults where they appear in Western civilization. Thus it is clear that these faults are not the leftist’s real motive for hating America and the West. He hates America and the West because they are strong and successful.

16. Words like “self-confidence,” “self-reliance,” “initiative,” “enterprise,” “optimism,” etc., play little role in the liberal and leftist vocabulary. The leftist is anti-individualistic, pro-collectivist. He wants society to solve everyone’s problems for them, satisfy everyone’s needs for them, take care of them. He is not the sort of person who has an inner sense of confidence in his ability to solve his own problems and satisfy his own needs. The leftist is antagonistic to the concept of competition because, deep inside, he feels like a loser.

17. Art forms that appeal to modern leftish intellectuals tend to focus on sordidness, defeat and despair, or else they take an orgiastic tone, throwing off rational control as if there were no hope of accomplishing anything through rational calculation and all that was left was to immerse oneself in the sensations of the moment.

18. Modern leftish philosophers tend to dismiss reason, science, objective reality and to insist that everything is culturally relative. It is true that one can ask serious questions about the foundations of scientific knowledge and about how, if at all, the concept of objective reality can be defined. But it is obvious that modern leftish philosophers are not simply cool-headed logicians systematically analyzing the foundations of knowledge. They are deeply involved emotionally in their attack on truth and reality. They attack these concepts because of their own psychological needs. For one thing, their attack is an outlet for hostility, and, to the extent that it is successful, it satisfies the drive for power. More importantly, the leftist hates science and rationality because they classify certain beliefs as true (i.e., successful, superior) and other beliefs as false (i.e., failed, inferior). The leftist’s feelings of inferiority run so deep that he cannot tolerate any classification of some things as successful or superior and other things as failed or inferior. This also underlies the rejection by many leftists of the concept of mental illness and of the utility of IQ tests. Leftists are antagonistic to genetic explanations of human abilities or behavior because such explanations tend to make some persons appear superior or inferior to others. Leftists prefer to give society the credit or blame for an individual’s ability or lack of it. Thus if a person is “inferior” it is not his fault, but society’s, because he has not been brought up properly.

19. The leftist is not typically the kind of person whose feelings of inferiority make him a braggart, an egotist, a bully, a self-promoter, a ruthless competitor. This kind of person has not wholly lost faith in himself. He has a deficit in his sense of power and self-worth, but he can still conceive of himself as having the capacity to be strong, and his efforts to make himself strong produce his unpleasant behavior. [1] But the leftist is too far gone for that. His feelings of inferiority are so ingrained that he cannot conceive of himself as individually strong and valuable. Hence the collectivism of the leftist. He can feel strong only as a member of a large organization or a mass movement with which he identifies himself.

20. Notice the masochistic tendency of leftist tactics. Leftists protest by lying down in front of vehicles, they intentionally provoke police or racists to abuse them, etc. These tactics may often be effective, but many leftists use them not as a means to an end but because they PREFER masochistic tactics. Self-hatred is a leftist trait.

21. Leftists may claim that their activism is motivated by compassion or by moral principles, and moral principle does play a role for the leftist of the oversocialized type. But compassion and moral principle cannot be the main motives for leftist activism. Hostility is too prominent a component of leftist behavior; so is the drive for power. Moreover, much leftist behavior is not rationally calculated to be of benefit to the people whom the leftists claim to be trying to help. For example, if one believes that affirmative action is good for black people, does it make sense to demand affirmative action in hostile or dogmatic terms? Obviously it would be more productive to take a diplomatic and conciliatory approach that would make at least verbal and symbolic concessions to white people who think that affirmative action discriminates against them. But leftist activists do not take such an approach because it would not satisfy their emotional needs. Helping black people is not their real goal. Instead, race problems serve as an excuse for them to express their own hostility and frustrated need for power. In doing so they actually harm black people, because the activists’ hostile attitude toward the white majority tends to intensify race hatred.

22. If our society had no social problems at all, the leftists would have to INVENT problems in order to provide themselves with an excuse for making a fuss.

23. We emphasize that the foregoing does not pretend to be an accurate description of everyone who might be considered a leftist. It is only a rough indication of a general tendency of leftism.

OVERSOCIALIZATION

24. Psychologists use the term “socialization” to designate the process by which children are trained to think and act as society demands. A person is said to be well socialized if he believes in and obeys the moral code of his society and fits in well as a functioning part of that society. It may seem senseless to say that many leftists are oversocialized, since the leftist is perceived as a rebel. Nevertheless, the position can be defended. Many leftists are not such rebels as they seem.

25. The moral code of our society is so demanding that no one can think, feel and act in a completely moral way. For example, we are not supposed to hate anyone, yet almost everyone hates somebody at some time or other, whether he admits it to himself or not. Some people are so highly socialized that the attempt to think, feel and act morally imposes a severe burden on them. In order to avoid feelings of guilt, they continually have to deceive themselves about their own motives and find moral explanations for feelings and actions that in reality have a non-moral origin. We use the term “oversocialized” to describe such people. [2]

26. Oversocialization can lead to low self-esteem, a sense of powerlessness, defeatism, guilt, etc. One of the most important means by which our society socializes children is by making them feel ashamed of behavior or speech that is contrary to society’s expectations. If this is overdone, or if a particular child is especially susceptible to such feelings, he ends by feeling ashamed of HIMSELF. Moreover the thought and the behavior of the oversocialized person are more restricted by society’s expectations than are those of the lightly socialized person. The majority of people engage in a significant amount of naughty behavior. They lie, they commit petty thefts, they break traffic laws, they goof off at work, they hate someone, they say spiteful things or they use some underhanded trick to get ahead of the other guy. The oversocialized person cannot do these things, or if he does do them he generates in himself a sense of shame and self-hatred. The oversocialized person cannot even experience, without guilt, thoughts or feelings that are contrary to the accepted morality; he cannot think “unclean” thoughts. And socialization is not just a matter of morality; we are socialized to conform to many norms of behavior that do not fall under the heading of morality. Thus the oversocialized person is kept on a psychological leash and spends his life running on rails that society has laid down for him. In many oversocialized people this results in a sense of constraint and powerlessness that can be a severe hardship. We suggest that oversocialization is among the more serious cruelties that human beings inflict on one another.

27. We argue that a very important and influential segment of the modern left is oversocialized and that their oversocialization is of great importance in determining the direction of modern leftism. Leftists of the oversocialized type tend to be intellectuals or members of the upper-middle class. Notice that university intellectuals [3] constitute the most highly socialized segment of our society and also the most left-wing segment.

28. The leftist of the oversocialized type tries to get off his psychological leash and assert his autonomy by rebelling. But usually he is not strong enough to rebel against the most basic values of society. Generally speaking, the goals of today’s leftists are NOT in conflict with the accepted morality. On the contrary, the left takes an accepted moral principle, adopts it as its own, and then accuses mainstream society of violating that principle. Examples: racial equality, equality of the sexes, helping poor people, peace as opposed to war, nonviolence generally, freedom of expression, kindness to animals. More fundamentally, the duty of the individual to serve society and the duty of society to take care of the individual. All these have been deeply rooted values of our society (or at least of its middle and upper classes [4] for a long time. These values are explicitly or implicitly expressed or presupposed in most of the material presented to us by the mainstream communications media and the educational system. Leftists, especially those of the oversocialized type, usually do not rebel against these principles but justify their hostility to society by claiming (with some degree of truth) that society is not living up to these principles.

29. Here is an illustration of the way in which the oversocialized leftist shows his real attachment to the conventional attitudes of our society while pretending to be in rebellion against it. Many leftists push for affirmative action, for moving black people into high-prestige jobs, for improved education in black schools and more money for such schools; the way of life of the black “underclass” they regard as a social disgrace. They want to integrate the black man into the system, make him a business executive, a lawyer, a scientist just like upper-middle-class white people. The leftists will reply that the last thing they want is to make the black man into a copy of the white man; instead, they want to preserve African American culture. But in what does this preservation of African American culture consist? It can hardly consist in anything more than eating black-style food, listening to black-style music, wearing black-style clothing and going to a black- style church or mosque. In other words, it can express itself only in superficial matters. In all ESSENTIAL respects most leftists of the oversocialized type want to make the black man conform to white, middle-class ideals. They want to make him study technical subjects, become an executive or a scientist, spend his life climbing the status ladder to prove that black people are as good as white. They want to make black fathers “responsible,” they want black gangs to become nonviolent, etc. But these are exactly the values of the industrial-technological system. The system couldn’t care less what kind of music a man listens to, what kind of clothes he wears or what religion he believes in as long as he studies in school, holds a respectable job, climbs the status ladder, is a “responsible” parent, is nonviolent and so forth. In effect, however much he may deny it, the oversocialized leftist wants to integrate the black man into the system and make him adopt its values.

30. We certainly do not claim that leftists, even of the oversocialized type, NEVER rebel against the fundamental values of our society. Clearly they sometimes do. Some oversocialized leftists have gone so far as to rebel against one of modern society’s most important principles by engaging in physical violence. By their own account, violence is for them a form of “liberation.” In other words, by committing violence they break through the psychological restraints that have been trained into them. Because they are oversocialized these restraints have been more confining for them than for others; hence their need to break free of them. But they usually justify their rebellion in terms of mainstream values. If they engage in violence they claim to be fighting against racism or the like.

31. We realize that many objections could be raised to the foregoing thumbnail sketch of leftist psychology. The real situation is complex, and anything like a complete description of it would take several volumes even if the necessary data were available. We claim only to have indicated very roughly the two most important tendencies in the psychology of modern leftism.

32. The problems of the leftist are indicative of the problems of our society as a whole. Low self-esteem, depressive tendencies and defeatism are not restricted to the left. Though they are especially noticeable in the left, they are widespread in our society. And today’s society tries to socialize us to a greater extent than any previous society. We are even told by experts how to eat, how to exercise, how to make love, how to raise our kids and so forth.

THE POWER PROCESS

33. Human beings have a need (probably based in biology) for something that we will call the “power process.” This is closely related to the need for power (which is widely recognized) but is not quite the same thing. The power process has four elements. The three most clear-cut of these we call goal, effort and attainment of goal. (Everyone needs to have goals whose attainment requires effort, and needs to succeed in attaining at least some of his goals.) The fourth element is more difficult to define and may not be necessary for everyone. We call it autonomy and will discuss it later (paragraphs 42-44).

34. Consider the hypothetical case of a man who can have anything he wants just by wishing for it. Such a man has power, but he will develop serious psychological problems. At first he will have a lot of fun, but by and by he will become acutely bored and demoralized. Eventually he may become clinically depressed. History shows that leisured aristocracies tend to become decadent. This is not true of fighting aristocracies that have to struggle to maintain their power. But leisured, secure aristocracies that have no need to exert themselves usually become bored, hedonistic and demoralized, even though they have power. This shows that power is not enough. One must have goals toward which to exercise one’s power.

35. Everyone has goals; if nothing else, to obtain the physical necessities of life: food, water and whatever clothing and shelter are made necessary by the climate. But the leisured aristocrat obtains these things without effort. Hence his boredom and demoralization.

36. Nonattainment of important goals results in death if the goals are physical necessities, and in frustration if nonattainment of the goals is compatible with survival. Consistent failure to attain goals throughout life results in defeatism, low self-esteem or depression.

37, Thus, in order to avoid serious psychological problems, a human being needs goals whose attainment requires effort, and he must have a reasonable rate of success in attaining his goals.

SURROGATE ACTIVITIES

38. But not every leisured aristocrat becomes bored and demoralized. For example, the emperor Hirohito, instead of sinking into decadent hedonism, devoted himself to marine biology, a field in which he became distinguished. When people do not have to exert themselves to satisfy their physical needs they often set up artificial goals for themselves. In many cases they then pursue these goals with the same energy and emotional involvement that they otherwise would have put into the search for physical necessities. Thus the aristocrats of the Roman Empire had their literary pretensions; many European aristocrats a few centuries ago invested tremendous time and energy in hunting, though they certainly didn’t need the meat; other aristocracies have competed for status through elaborate displays of wealth; and a few aristocrats, like Hirohito, have turned to science.

39. We use the term “surrogate activity” to designate an activity that is directed toward an artificial goal that people set up for themselves merely in order to have some goal to work toward, or let us say, merely for the sake of the “fulfillment” that they get from pursuing the goal. Here is a rule of thumb for the identification of surrogate activities. Given a person who devotes much time and energy to the pursuit of goal X, ask yourself this: If he had to devote most of his time and energy to satisfying his biological needs, and if that effort required him to use his physical and mental faculties in a varied and interesting way, would he feel seriously deprived because he did not attain goal X? If the answer is no, then the person’s pursuit of goal X is a surrogate activity. Hirohito’s studies in marine biology clearly constituted a surrogate activity, since it is pretty certain that if Hirohito had had to spend his time working at interesting non-scientific tasks in order to obtain the necessities of life, he would not have felt deprived because he didn’t know all about the anatomy and life-cycles of marine animals. On the other hand the pursuit of sex and love (for example) is not a surrogate activity, because most people, even if their existence were otherwise satisfactory, would feel deprived if they passed their lives without ever having a relationship with a member of the opposite sex. (But pursuit of an excessive amount of sex, more than one really needs, can be a surrogate activity.)

40. In modern industrial society only minimal effort is necessary to satisfy one’s physical needs. It is enough to go through a training program to acquire some petty technical skill, then come to work on time and exert the very modest effort needed to hold a job. The only requirements are a moderate amount of intelligence and, most of all, simple OBEDIENCE. If one has those, society takes care of one from cradle to grave. (Yes, there is an underclass that cannot take the physical necessities for granted, but we are speaking here of mainstream society.) Thus it is not surprising that modern society is full of surrogate activities. These include scientific work, athletic achievement, humanitarian work, artistic and literary creation, climbing the corporate ladder, acquisition of money and material goods far beyond the point at which they cease to give any additional physical satisfaction, and social activism when it addresses issues that are not important for the activist personally, as in the case of white activists who work for the rights of nonwhite minorities. These are not always PURE surrogate activities, since for many people they may be motivated in part by needs other than the need to have some goal to pursue. Scientific work may be motivated in part by a drive for prestige, artistic creation by a need to express feelings, militant social activism by hostility. But for most people who pursue them, these activities are in large part surrogate activities. For example, the majority of scientists will probably agree that the “fulfillment” they get from their work is more important than the money and prestige they earn.

41. For many if not most people, surrogate activities are less satisfying than the pursuit of real goals (that is, goals that people would want to attain even if their need for the power process were already fulfilled). One indication of this is the fact that, in many or most cases, people who are deeply involved in surrogate activities are never satisfied, never at rest. Thus the money-maker constantly strives for more and more wealth. The scientist no sooner solves one problem than he moves on to the next. The long-distance runner drives himself to run always farther and faster. Many people who pursue surrogate activities will say that they get far more fulfillment from these activities than they do from the “mundane” business of satisfying their biological needs, but that is because in our society the effort needed to satisfy the biological needs has been reduced to triviality. More importantly, in our society people do not satisfy their biological needs AUTONOMOUSLY but by functioning as parts of an immense social machine. In contrast, people generally have a great deal of autonomy in pursuing their surrogate activities.
