postyX - Stop Being Nice! Suicidal Empathy is becoming the end of Western society

00:00:00.000 Hello, everyone. Today, we're diving into a topic that is actually something I am quite

00:00:07.100 familiar with, something you are all familiar with, if you are a white European. It's the

00:00:13.980 suicidal empathy of our European society. Now we live in a world that we created, which

00:00:20.820 up until recently, universally praised kindness. And not that it is still not praised. However,

00:00:27.340 due to drastic demographic changes, i.e. mass immigration, it has become exploitive and

00:00:34.820 ultimately disadvantageous to be kind, which is sad because you know what, I remember growing up,

00:00:42.280 it was really we Canadians were known as the, you know, friendly kind of, you know, super nice people,

00:00:49.000 right? But what if I actually told you that excessive kindness, unchecked and uninterrupted

00:00:56.160 can actually be a liability? It should not be a surprise to you because we are experiencing

00:01:03.700 the results of this now. Soft criminal justice systems, soft immigration systems and regular 0.99

00:01:10.780 humiliation, humiliation rituals have become the norm. And this is all due to excessive and unchecked

00:01:18.620 kindness. The cuckification of society is something in my belief that is a direct result of the radical

00:01:25.800 feminism movement, which stems from the, you know, Jewish ideology, kind of Jewish influence on the 1.00

00:01:32.860 Western society. Niccolo Machiavelli, I probably butchered that wrong, but he was a Renaissance 1.00

00:01:38.800 political philosopher who was considered a ruthless pragmatist, offered a chillingly realistic perspective

00:01:46.280 that asks us to reexamine our moral instincts, especially when they blind us to the harsh realities of life.

00:01:54.060 Machiavelli's primary concern wasn't about being a good person in the traditional sense, but about effective

00:02:02.220 leadership and political stability. He believed that a wise ruler understood that appearances, power and control

00:02:09.980 often mattered more than virtue itself. His most famous and perhaps most provocative quote from the prince is,

00:02:18.320 it is much safer to be feared than loved if one must choose. Now before you recoil, let's unpack that. This isn't an endorsement of

00:02:30.320 tyranny. Instead, it encapsulates his warning against excessive kindness, a ruler or anyone in a position of influence who

00:02:39.520 prioritizes being loved or prioritizes being loved or liked above all else risks becoming weak, you know, manipulable and

00:02:46.700 ultimately powerless. Think about it, kindness, when it lacks a backbone can invite exploitation. If people know that they can

00:02:57.440 walk all over you because you're too nice to say no, they will. And you know, we talk a lot about the immigration scammers and that and 1.00

00:03:08.200 you know, a lot of these immigrants that is their way of life, the invaders that are coming in. So if you're already too 1.00

00:03:13.540 nice, you know, you're now having a group of people that are, you know, very adapt at taking advantage of maybe, okay,

00:03:20.660 maybe they're not adapt at it, but it's literally their lifeblood. So if you are not more pragmatic, and you're too nice,

00:03:27.320 then you're definitely going to get taken advantage of by some brown invader. 0.99

00:03:33.520 Now, in my opinion, this is where the argument against women holding political power gained some 0.99

00:03:38.400 relevance. Contrary to what trannies believe, there is a biological difference in men and women, and that 1.00

00:03:45.020 extends to thinking processes as well. Men are more pragmatic, and they make decisions as such, whereas

00:03:51.420 women make their decisions driven primarily on how it makes her feel or how other people are going to 1.00

00:03:57.520 feel or emotionally driven decision making. This is how we ended up with open borders and legal gender 0.97

00:04:03.620 mutilation on our children. This isn't just for politicians and kings, the principle extends to our

00:04:11.580 personal lives. Kindness without boundaries can easily devolve into self sacrifice that in the long run

00:04:17.340 really helps nobody. If you're someone who always says yes, I'm putting my hand up here, even though

00:04:23.200 you can't see it, who gives without discernment, and who goes to extreme lengths to avoid conflict.

00:04:29.520 Machiavelli would argue that this isn't a sign of moral strength. Often it's rooted in fear, a fear of

00:04:35.720 rejection, disapproval, or confrontation. I can tell you from my own experience, it's definitely a fear of

00:04:42.380 rejection. In this light, what we often label as virtue might actually be a form of cowardice dressed

00:04:49.160 up as benevolence. When we're too kind, we might be allowing others to take advantage inadvertently,

00:04:56.280 rewarding bad behavior or even enabling dysfunction in our relationships, families, workplaces and wider

00:05:01.460 society. We have an example of that that just finished and that is the gay pride nonsense. So here in 1.00

00:05:09.180 Canada, and I'm sure in other places too, they really go hard on the gay pride stuff. Now, all of us,

00:05:15.680 when I say us, I don't mean, you know, me per se, but let's say all the supporters of this, you know,

00:05:21.420 degeneracy and of the Weimar conditions, they're only doing this because they think it's benevolence,

00:05:26.420 but really, it's cowardice. They're afraid to stand up against it, because of course, the, at least in

00:05:32.600 their mind, the majority agrees with it, right? So nobody wants to stand out and be that one person that

00:05:38.340 stands up and says, this is fucking degenerate. So it is really more cowardice, but they dress it up 0.99

00:05:44.200 as benevolence. This is happens with almost everything that you know. Moreover, Machiavelli

00:05:50.120 keenly observed how excessive mercy can actually sabotage justice. Again, look at our criminal justice

00:05:57.020 system. He argued that leniency when applied indiscriminately can lead to greater suffering

00:06:02.640 in the long run. Imagine a leader who refuses to punish wrongdoing out of compassion.

00:06:08.780 This can foster lawlessness, ultimately causing more harm to innocent people. Look at what's

00:06:14.100 happening in our criminal justice system. Because you may be a certain shade of color, or you may not 0.98

00:06:19.320 have been born on this Canadian soil, you get, you know, a little bit of a advantage over those who

00:06:27.040 have been. Because, you know, they, they, they go on and claim that it's not your fault that you don't

00:06:32.420 know the laws here. It's not your fault that you don't speak English. It's not your fault that your

00:06:36.120 customs are to grope women in public, and that's normal. So that's what happens when this, you know, 0.58

00:06:41.840 it leads to this, you know, kind of benevolency that turns into cowardice that is like, you know,

00:06:49.700 it makes the whole society suffer in the long run.

00:06:52.440 So, Machiavelli advised, injuries should be inflicted all at once, but benefits should be

00:06:58.660 granted little by little. Again, why are we giving immigrants new to the country, all these different 1.00

00:07:05.100 social benefits? What is the incentive for them to become a productive member of society?

00:07:13.360 This isn't a sadistic statement. It's a strategic one, swift and decisive action, even if harsh,

00:07:19.780 is sometimes absolutely necessary to maintain order and prevent more widespread damage.

00:07:27.340 In contrast, constant kindness can lead to indecision, weakness, and a crippling inability

00:07:33.080 to act when action is most critically needed. I'm drawing a lot of this, this essay from my own

00:07:40.060 personal experiences. And now, because of that, the crippling, rather, the, you know, the niceness,

00:07:47.800 the constant niceness, it has led to a lot of indecision in my life, and definitely a crippling

00:07:53.000 inability to act, which I am now having to reverse in middle age, and it's not as easy. So, it's

00:07:59.100 something that you should probably be practicing from a young age, because once you get to a certain

00:08:03.380 age, and everything is just fucking irritating as hell, you're going to be ingrained in your brain 0.96

00:08:09.440 that, you know, you can't say anything about it, because that's how you were brought up. So, 0.94

00:08:12.860 it's interesting how modern psychology and leadership theory often echo these ancient

00:08:18.560 insights. Studies show that leaders who are overly agreeable often struggle with assertiveness,

00:08:23.940 making tough decisions, and maintaining the respect of their teams. In our personal relationships,

00:08:28.960 constantly avoiding conflict or always putting others' needs before our own can lead to resentment,

00:08:34.620 emotional burnout, a slow erosion of our self-worth.

00:08:38.540 Machiavelli wasn't saying, don't be kind or just. He understood the importance of appearing that way,

00:08:46.060 but he stressed that such appearances must be used tactically. You should appear kind,

00:08:51.020 but never enslaved by the need to do so.

00:08:55.940 Ultimately, Machiavelli wasn't advocating for cruelty. His core message is that the unthinking,

00:09:01.800 automatic application of kindness isn't moral, it's dangerous. True virtue, in his eyes,

00:09:07.340 is about effectiveness, foresight, and the courage to do what is necessary, even when it's unpopular

00:09:12.660 or painful. To be truly good in a world that isn't always good, he believed you have to understand

00:09:19.600 the darker aspects of human nature, and when absolutely required, know how to use them judiciously.

00:09:26.480 Someone who is perpetually too kind might sleep well with a clean conscience, but they might wake up

00:09:31.520 in a world that no longer respects or listens to them.

00:09:36.540 This leads us perfectly into another critical danger, the constant desire to be liked or loved.

00:09:41.820 This is definitely more of a female trait, but it does occur, obviously, in the male species as well. 0.84

00:09:47.480 It's a natural human impulse, of course. We're wired for connection and approval,

00:09:52.620 but when the desire to be liked transforms into a need, like a fundamental guiding principle

00:09:58.000 for our decisions, our identity, or our self-worth, that's when it becomes truly dangerous.

00:10:05.380 First, there's the loss of authenticity, and you know, some people think they do come off as

00:10:09.580 authentic, but most people that are, I guess you could say, noticers, or are very in tune or intuitive,

00:10:16.140 they can kind of clock that from a mile away. When you're always chasing approval,

00:10:20.920 you start to shape yourself around what you think others want you to be.

00:10:24.860 Your personality becomes fluid, adopting, or rather adapting to whatever version seems most palatable.

00:10:31.060 Over time, this chips away at your true self. You might no longer know what you genuinely believe,

00:10:36.440 want, or value, because your internal compass has been replaced by an external one. Authenticity,

00:10:42.640 that precious, precious quality, is sacrificed at the altar of likability, if you will.

00:10:48.640 Then there's manipulability, that's a tongue twister, and exploitation.

00:10:57.520 People pleasers, those who crave approval, are obviously easily manipulated. They tend to avoid

00:11:02.820 confrontation, they say yes too often, and allow their boundaries to be crossed. They become prime

00:11:08.520 targets for those who seek to use or to control others, whether they are narcissists, users, or simply

00:11:14.000 individuals who lack empathy. This is a large population of our government, if you weren't

00:11:19.840 aware. In any sphere of life, politics, business, or personal, the fear of disapproval can coerce people

00:11:26.480 into complicity or silence, even when their conscience screams otherwise. I have said this before, and I feel

00:11:34.320 like it comes into every single video, but the reason why I believe a lot of women are so depressed 1.00

00:11:41.680 is because in their conscious, it's screaming that this is not the life they want. They don't want to

00:11:47.520 be a paper pusher. They don't want to be working at a Jewish daycare to make Jews money. They want to be 1.00

00:11:53.120 at home raising their kids. They want to be having babies. They want to be guiding and, you know, being part of a

00:11:58.340 family. They want to watch their kids grow up. So I think that their conscious is screaming that this

00:12:03.060 isn't what they should be doing, but, you know, everybody else is saying, yes, you have to be a

00:12:06.700 girl boss. You have to work. Otherwise, you know, you, you can't afford anything or whatever, whatever it 1.00

00:12:13.120 is, right? So I also think that that is huge for women, and that's why a lot of us are on SSRIs.

00:12:20.820 This also leads to emotional fragility. If your self-worth is constantly tied to the opinion of others,

00:12:26.400 then rejection or criticism becomes devastating. Social media has amplified this immensely, where

00:12:32.660 likes, follows, and applause become the shaky pillars of our self-esteem, the kind of fragility

00:12:39.180 that can lead to anxiety, depression, and burnout, especially when external validation is inconsistent

00:12:44.820 or withdrawn. Consider the risk of moral compromise. The need to be liked often fosters

00:12:51.860 moral ambiguity. You might find yourself staying silent in the face of injustice,

00:12:55.980 avoiding uncomfortable truths, or even supporting harmful ideas, all to simply keep the peace

00:13:01.400 or maintain your popularity. History is unfortunately filled with examples of atrocities

00:13:07.320 enabled not just by evil individuals, but by good people who were too afraid to rock the boat.

00:13:12.800 And when it comes to leadership, the paralysis caused by the desire to be liked is profound.

00:13:18.120 As Machiavelli warned, effective leadership demands decisiveness,

00:13:21.620 clarity, and sometimes making unpopular decisions. A leader obsessed with approval will avoid necessary

00:13:28.560 risks, delay hard choices, and pander to public opinion instead of leading with principle.

00:13:35.140 They become weather vanes, not anchors, tossed about in the winds of opinion rather than guided

00:13:41.120 by a strong internal compass. Finally, a constant need for external affection can create dependent

00:13:48.240 and hollow relationships. If love or affection is pursued out of a deep-seated need, relationships

00:13:54.720 can become transactional. You become dependent on others to feel complete. We see this a lot with

00:13:59.680 social influencers and the social media influencers and that phenomena. This often breeds resentment or

00:14:05.960 unhealthy codependency. Instead of forming relationships based on mutual respect and shared values, they are

00:14:12.340 formed out of a need for validation, which ultimately lacks the true intimacy and freedom that a solid

00:14:19.200 relationship, you know, requires.

00:14:23.220 In summary, while the desire to be liked or loved seems harmless, even virtuous, it can lead to a profound loss of

00:14:31.260 identity, compromised values, psychological instability, and vulnerability to manipulation.

00:14:36.660 You got to keep your head on a swivel these days with all the invaders. You cannot allow yourself to be

00:14:40.880 manipulated. The antidote isn't to become callous or uncaring, although I think that a lot of that might be

00:14:47.000 part of it, but to cultivate conviction. As the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius wisely wrote, the approval of others

00:14:55.220 is a precious thing, but so is your own. Seek to be respected, not merely liked. Be kind, absolutely, but never be

00:15:03.620 submissive. True strength lies in your ability to stand alone, to make difficult decisions, and still stand tall,

00:15:10.060 guided by your own principles, rather than the fickle winds of external validation.

00:15:14.620 Now, we spoke to, in my mind, one of my heroes, Stephen Wells, and you probably won't recognize that

00:15:20.140 name because he's, you know, not a household name. It's more so in Australia, but he embodies the meaning

00:15:26.920 of the word courage. Courage is not, you know, standing up in or facing danger, really. Courage is

00:15:35.180 not running in the face of danger. Courage is standing up to the crowd. Courage is following

00:15:41.660 your moral compass, if you have one, and following your instincts to do the right thing, and not, you

00:15:47.300 know, necessarily caring about what the crowd goes to, or the crowd chooses, rather.

00:15:51.920 It's a challenging thought, but perhaps by understanding the potential dangers of excessive

00:16:00.060 kindness, and the relentless pursuit of being liked, we can cultivate a more effective, authentic,

00:16:05.820 and ultimately more virtuous way of living. Now, remember this quote I will leave you with,

00:16:11.880 there is no coming to consciousness without pain.
