  • It depends on the mood, but here are my favorite

    Loveable James Bond-type Villains: The hero foils their plans of world domination and it is lighthearted and the villain becomes loveable to the fans.

    Mysterious Unbeatable Villains I would agree with you with the Lovecraftian forces. I have read several works of Lovecraft and they are good reads except some have undertones of racism and a small few stories where the racism is very impotent apparent like the Herbert West–Reanimator.

    In human form of this type of villain in the movie, Eyes Wide Shut where you can get past the nudity and the famous orgy scene actually has interesting villains where the hero never really understands them or wins against them. The end of the movie the two characters are just trying to figure out what to do with their lives after their encounter with the cult. It is very refreshing to see especially in Hollywood as the audience is already pre-set with the idea that the hero wins and the bad guys are defeated.

    This type of villain, the protagonist is just trying to survive and never actually wins as they either end up a survivor of the encounter, dead, or sometimes they join the villain or group of villains.




  • Being “a coward” is the most human response to war. The fact you don’t want to be killed and want to live to old age is very human.

    My family heritage being in the United States is full of different ancestry that fled to the United States to escape persecution. In fact, my grandfather on one side was a refugee who fled the Sudetenland a few weeks before Kristallnacht happened.

    To me if there was a war, I would swim to Cuba if I have to.








  • I have heard bad things about SSRIs myself, but was never on them and been people saying that some of the school shooters are on that stuff.

    I was on Adderall for having ADHD, but stopped taking it because I felt it was making me have social anxiety. I found it harder to talk to people because of it and it made me more nervous and jittery.

    One day, I took Adderall again after not taking for a month which is a bad idea since it is the type of medicine where you have to work your way up to a dose. I spend a class period being so jittery it hurt.


  • I have seen the book, but haven’t read it.

    I was looking into Neo-Nazism at the special forces. Here is the stuff I found.

    Red Swastikas Painted In Fort Bragg Barracks

    https://archive.is/BRxEp

    “Crudely drawn, 2-foot swastikas were found spray-painted yesterday on eight doors inside a barracks for enlisted men and noncommissioned officers with the 950-man 7th Special Forces Group.”

    “Black soldiers live in six of the vandalized rooms; the two other rooms are vacant.”

    Special Forces Underground, a supposed far-right special forces magazine

    “The Hoover Library recently acquired a rare print run of The Resister: a far-right dissident magazine purportedly published by the “Special Forces Underground,” a clandestine group of radical extremists in the Green Berets, an elite fighting unit within the US Army.”
