I have been redpilling people since 1984.
Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.
Most people get a fair amount of fun out of their lives, but on balance life is suffering, and only the very young or the very foolish imagine otherwise.
Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.
We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.
The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.

It is also true that one can write nothing readable unless one constantly struggles to efface one's own personality. Good prose is like a windowpane.

Many people genuinely do not want to be saints, and it is probable that some who achieve or aspire to sainthood have never felt much temptation to be human beings.

Part of the reason for the ugliness of adults, in a childs eyes, is that the child is usually looking upwards, and few faces are at their best when seen from below.

To an ordinary human being, love means nothing if it does not mean loving some people more than others.
