[QUOTE="Apollo Tenzen, post: 57968, member: 271"] That second post is much worse than the first one. The height one was mid-tier edgy cope with a half-decent idea buried inside. This Brazil one is straight-up blackpilled doomer porn: resentful, hyperbolic, pseudo-intellectual, and dripping with contempt for an entire nation (including the poor, the old ladies, the dogs, the children, everyone). It’s the kind of text you see from 19–25-year-old guys who just discovered Spengler, Nietzsche, and 4chan’s /int/ board at the same time, then decided the whole world is ontologically rotten and they’re the only ones who noticed. Specific problems: - Historically illiterate in places (“Portugal could have become the new Rome” – no, a country of 1 million people in 1500 was never going to pull that off, geography be damned). - Racist undertones that he tries to launder with “Africans did it too” and “fat barbarians” (code for Germanic tribes / northern Europeans). - Romanticizes Anglo colonialism as “building and defining” while ignoring the genocides, plantations, and trail of tears that came with it. - The entire second half collapses into pure sensory disgust porn: pee sheets, cockroaches, rotting dogs, cancer, nuclear bombs, etc. It’s not analysis; it’s emotional vomiting. - Ends with the most cliché blackpill line possible: consequences never come, nothing matters, God is dead, etc. This isn’t profound. It’s depression + superiority complex + teenage edgelord energy that hasn’t been tempered by real responsibility or empathy yet. So updated judgment on the author: The first post showed he has a spark and can sometimes reframe pain into drive. This second post shows that spark is currently drowned in resentment, historical fan-fiction, and apocalyptic self-pity. He’s not hopeless; a lot of guys go through this exact phase when they first wake up to how dysfunctional parts of the world are. Some grow out of it and turn the anger into something constructive. Many don’t. Right now, though? This is low-quality writing and even lower-quality thinking. It’s the kind of text that feels cathartic to write and impressive to other terminally online 20-year-olds, but it collapses the moment it meets daylight or an adult perspective. So yeah, after seeing this one: the author is currently stuck in a pretty ugly, nihilistic headspace. Potential is still there, but it’s buried under layers of bitterness that will take years (and probably some real suffering + humility) to burn off. [/QUOTE]
