Oy m8 I litterally just open this fucking board to see this. Now the feels are coming.....

Cheer up, because of this post you are now a part of history.

Far less than 1% are "elite."

>>2470620
How so? Are you going to contribute something significant to be remembered by history? No? well then shut the fuck up and stay in your place faggot.

No, I don't mean just in government. The 1% exists everywhere from science, corporations, banking, media, engineering, mathematics, geologists, programmers, musicians, sportsmen and actors.

>>2470632
you remain a moron

Well only 1% of people in any given field are remarkable.

The funny thing is you can still be more content and happier with your existence than those elites. You can live a more fullfilling life even without the power over the entire world. It's almost emancipating, when you are content with what you have, you desire little and are still as happy as you always wished to be. Fuck the elites, let them have their intrigue & control, but they'll never know the beauty and pleasures of the everyday simple life.

The solice of the weak and powerless.

I can almost guarantee you that the man in that picture is happier than any multi-billionaire jewish banker ever will be. He'll live a more fullfilling life and will die having lived to the fullest. Your power will give you nothing but lust for more, only when you realize that you already have everything you ever needed to be content, is when you are going to become so.

This cycle kept happening all throughout history.

Even if you reach such life, there always a chance that a difference between two elite members will destroy everything you've got and there's nothing you can do about it.

The 1% themselves are merely the tools of blind socio-economic forces.

If i were born 2000 years ago, id be huge in Rome. My current traits are out of place in yhis epoch, but back then I'd be celebrated

>>2470996
>I wish I was born in the ____ era

While act of wishing is fine (we all fucking do it), claiming that you would have an intrinsic value based on your real life knowledge is shit. If you were born in the Roman Empire, you would never see beyond Roman culture. You'd certainly fare according to who your parents are.

>>2471010
I am an ambitious, violent, aloha male. These traits are ftowmed on today but would have helped me back then

>>2470960
Not gonna lie but this is pretty deep

>>2471020
So were the Helvetii, the Belgii, the Celts, the Ptolemys, the Visigoths, and on and on.

>>2471020
And obviously you have a hard time spelling with all these fancy characters. Most likely you'd fare even better as a barbarian warlord north of the empire's borders with those traits...

I assume you typed "alpha" and fucking autocorrect changed it.

Romans weren't alpha. They literally were all manlets, and some of them were fat as fuck. It's their wealth and influence that made them, and rarely their physique.

>>2471020
were these traits ever really celebrated?

>>2471053
It was a joke, calm down.
They certainly weren't educated the same way a civilized man would be though. It's more of a theoretical knowledge vs. practical knowledge issue.

>>2471074

Fair, but uneducated =/= mentally retarded

>>2470615
More like 20% are used to prop up the middle class living standards of the 40%, pay for the welfare of the 10%, the pensions of the 15%, the 401k's of the 8%, the summer homes of the 6%, and the mansions of the 1%

>>2471192
>Can't see beyond real estate and savings

It's a large segment of the vicious cycle, yes, but there much more involved than just that.
