people on the left are often accused by their opponents on the right of essentially being Bernard, i.e. of opposing the social order they live under not due to sound ethical principles but out of petty jealousy of the normies, the people who thrive under it.

so the appeal of a hasan piker or whatever is that, in contrast to this stereotype, they project an image of being Helmholtz, someone who's alpha enough to thrive in the current system but still criticizes it. of course this mask can slip if they reveal that they don't really oppose the social order (buying a huge mansion in LA) or if they reveal that they aren't actually that alpha/well adjusted (posting a martial arts workout vid where they look unathletic as fuck on the mitts)

As that guy Russell Brand (or is it Russell Grant? I can never remember which of those two is which bizarrely) pointed out in one of those classic "stopped clock right twice a day" moments

“When I was poor and complained about inequality they said I was bitter; now that I'm rich and I complain about inequality they say I'm a hypocrite. I'm beginning to think they just don't want to talk about inequality.”

He's got the best name cos if he likes your post it looks as if you have two likes. In fact why do I assume it's one person, maybe he is two people and why do I assume it's a he... er actually probably cos it says he is a man come to think of it, but the other question was valid. Why are you two people horny man? Are you like Bob and Roberta Smith? Are you named after the museum in London?

I initially assumed horny was a pseudonym for someone else here, maybe @shakahislop using his NYC knowledge to throw us off. remember all his stories about working in Afghanistan? luka picked up on that early, that it was all a ruse.

i'm pretty sure it was either russell brand, bertrand russell, or russell crowe, who can keep track when they're all pretty much the same person
In my head I always associate Gore Vidal with Siegfried Sassoon because of Vidal Sassoon shampoo.

I played in bands (this was the only one which even approached being ok: ), went to an interesting high school, wandered the city extensively, saw lots of amazing music at venues people now consider legendary, was in the presence of numerous famous people (but did not talk to them bc I was painfully shy), did graffiti, spent a lot of time at the library, ate krsna food whenever possible, and was fortunate enough to be involved with some things which no longer really exist (squatting, peddling on St. Mark's Place, being a bike messenger, living in an apartment btwn 1st and A which cost less than 3k/mo), but was a very angsty baby, and didn't really appreciate any of it as much as I maybe should have.

Was overjoyed to leave the city in 93. Scarcely thought of the place until I returned to play a show in 2008. I've been back several
times since then, and reckon I like it less each time, but still read sites like EV Grieve on the regular, and get super sad when places
like Odessa Restaurant close, even though that place was always terrible.

@polystyledesu and I were a part of the same NYC microverse. He's a bit older than I am, and probably has much better stories.

horny man y panty man are a so so puerto rican rap duo w a funy name:
