I just realized Chris Gabriel is the energetic inverse of the fedora hat guy
gorgeous backdrop and the lighting on this one. Production value has been through the roof the past few months, really dig it.
I hate that the definition of "nice guy" was shifted to "not nice guy with hidden intentions". Back in my late teens I genuinely had a problem with being too nice, to the point where nobody took me seriously. It was an entirely different problem than having hidden intentions, but I had nobody to talk to about it because everyone thought I was just an incel.
Ironic how the types that say “men need to talk about their feelings” are the same who throw around the term “incel” if they do
It's worth doing some soul searching if you haven't. I used to think I was just too nice for no reason, but as I got older I got to piece together that I was moved by a mesh of repressed desires and trauma so complex that even I couldn't understand my own agenda back then.
@@killgriffinnowI think people probably throw around the term incel too much (more men and women are technically incels now because of the pandemic era social silos). That being said when some men talk about their struggles dating, the way they describe certain dynamics with women and flatten people into archetypes is extremely off-putting.
I think the words people are looking for are "people pleasing" at best and "entitled" at worst
In today's cynical day and age being nice is hella sus.
7:15 "God expects people to make life entertaining" -- this is so interesting! The only other person I've heard this remark from is a schizophrenic programmer named Terry Davis (incredibly intelligent despite his mental state, world-class programmer). He often said, "The purpose of life is to entertain God. And if you don't know how to entertain God, then take care of those who do... God loves soap operas". I'm not religious, but I completely agree.
This view I largely gained from Nietzsche: “It is certain, at any rate, that the Greeks still
knew of no tastier spice to offer their gods to season their happiness
than the pleasures of cruelty. With what eyes do you think Homer
made his gods look down upon the destinies of men? What was
at bottom the ultimate meaning of Trojan Wars and other such
tragic terrors? There can be no doubt whatever: they were intended
as festival plays for the gods”
-Genealogy of Morals
that's why god loves schizo and beetles (the bug)
This applies to a lot more than nice guys. It applies to incompetent people overall who turn their incompetence into resentment of the competent.
Most definitely
I find often that in most trades those who are unsuccessful in the respected fields love to declare the people in there trades w the most acalades and success to be idiot's. That there more complex esoteric way of working is actually more virtous and that the masses are too stupid to accept there brilliance.
@@BlckPollenit is also true though. Success is not just skill but also political (brown nosing, nepotism, etc.) and distorts the trade/field.
You hit the nail on the head. Kindness out of a place not for the sake of kindness' sake, but the expectation of being rewarded is one of the grossest forms of materialism
your videos are sincerely on point and on timing consistently ❤🔥
I concurre
Kindness is a form of Will. Therefore, true kindness is not an ends to a means, but an ends in of itself. You don't get rewarded for kindness, kindness IS the reward.
That's right. People shouldn't need to expect a compliment back.
@@xadxtya At some point the world is just dark. It's the worldst of it all. What then?
that's why you should only do selfless acts of kindness if it's fine to you if the other person doesn't return them. whenever discomfort or resentment arise, it's time to communicate your needs and negotiate a mutually beneficial agreement.
@@CynicalBastard worlds a mirror; what you see is what you give in return. If you see ugliness, it's all you'll ever see. Even genuine kindness will seem evil and base. This is not sustainable because you're completely and utterly alone.
Is.. is THAT a good way of living YOUR life?
You have just found the difference between genuinely good people and phonies like Drake and Mister B.
Yes. This "revenge of the nerds" thing (Nerds getting into more poewerful positions than jocks later in life) is Propaganda to create docile salarymen who overwork for less payment.
Social skills and Networking are far more important for job success than knowledge or educational skills. A high school jock is also better at career than a nice guy nerd
actually it really depends, it's like 3% of "jocks" will be actually sucessful networking god salesmen and 1% of "nerds" genius scientists, because y'know, i don't think the way you grow affects THAT much of your sucess rate as this whole system is designed to make all parties get stuck into the salarymen deep end
@Shoegazebasedgenre0.Lol cringe
The 0.1% of the nerds rule the Internet and soon the world. What a miserabel future

My dad was a volunteer firefighter for 20 years, and he taught me this. He selflessly put his life and body on the line for his community, never pat himself on the back for it or talked himself up. He did it because it was the right thing to do, full stop.
I know what I want but I am crippled by fear and anxiety and come off as a nice guy
Waddya want then? I'm the opposite. I don't know what I wan't but have no social anxieties. Only internal stress.
You are just weak, and you know you are weak, so playing nice is your best strategy for survival, like it was for your weak ancestors raking the fields.
for the longest time i was caught under medusas spell, turned to stone from a womans gaze. the only way out is to build yourself up and become someone worth loving, someone who knows they are in control.
remove the things that cause you stress and anxiety and replace them with empowerment
I think I know what’s going on here, in fact I was like you, (probably worse) but I got over it.
One of the tricks I’ve learned is, if you’re interested in someone but you’re nervous, try to let them lead the conversation by finding out what they like and what they’re interested in. If you have anything to add, great, if you don’t, then you can always politely steer the conversation towards your interests afterwards.
The internet is, currently, a very nasty place in this regard. Very few people are interested in helping people like you, preferring to torment the “nice guys” and “incels” in perpetuity. You’re not likely to find much help in such places, outside of isolated enclaves like this one.
"Worship is not on bended knee
Nature knows not of mercy
To pray is to accept defeat
Power pisses on the weak
Bow and beheaded by the beast
Beggar on a bitch's leash
Scum is desperate for relief
Worship is the way I ride
Witching currents through the eye
Of storms that force the false to die
Worship the flames with which I rise into apocalyptic skies" - MC Ride
I CLOSE MY EYES AND SEIZE IT MC ride is a great lyricist

Damn, I realized I based my intire life in declaring my weakness and inferiority as a virtue. I'm a man of resentmen. Need to find a new path in life.
I like the point about being well rounded, but that's for "nice guys", who are investing too much into their facade, but for actual nice and very kind people on their nature who are pretty selfless, i don't believe you should force you too much to create that well rounded facade yourself, and instead just be what you feel is your right self, maybe most people will not enjoy you and mix you in with "nice guys", but such is the nature of perceptions, and you should not live in others perceptions and instead live by your truthful virtues, those too selfless will always suffer more, but if to stop that suffering you must then sacrife a core of your self then is that really worth it? to live just as another person holding up masks? but yes, in the end, those more balanced in nature will have it truly better, so if you fake anything, at least fake that
One of the things that stuck with me from my jordan peterson phase is in one of his lectures he talked about the idea that "the meek shall inherit the earth" is actually somewhat of a miss translation and it actually translates to something more like "those who have a sword but do not use it shall inherit the earth". its more trying to say embrace your ability for evil and be capable of it, but do not use it, or perhaps be reserved and use it when it is absolutely necessary.
Yes! To restrain yourself when you lack the ability to commit violence isn't virtue.
Yup, this goes through all the way to Jung's writings on the Shadow and Shadow integration in his psychoanalysis. Some people get it instinctually (to a certain level) - those that have been given the freedom to be both good and evil in their younger years (and not be so suppressed for it) and they tend to have healthier social bonds, less neuroticism across the board, and just all round more 'fun' to be around. I used to resent some 'jock' types from my school days but I see it from a few psychoanalytical lenses now and I see how the absence of a strong masculine role played into my lack of guidance into balancing goods and evils, making some stunted and perverted creases in my personality that have been ironed out by doing calisthenics and combat sports
I learned a lot of good stuff from my JP days. This being one of the most important.
You organized a lot of isolated thoughts that I wasn't able to connect by myself, thanks a lot!!!
This video might be one of the most important videos you have ever made.
We should not be kind to expect something in return, but so that the echo of our help resonates in the other and transforms it into another kind act for someone who needs it even more.
"I consider the one who conquers his desires to be braver than the one who conquers his enemies, since the hardest victory is the victory over oneself."

Do not help others for a reward. Do not help others because you are commanded. Do not help others out of some servile intention to please your master or get a treat.
Nietzsche helped me understand why I like to help others. You can dress up this desire in all sorts of moral systems. But at the end of the day, "I look into my heart, and I see what is right."
Help others because you are your own master, and it pleases you to do so. That is true, authentic, genuine compassion and kindness.
My experience is, a nice guy who always gets friendzoned needs to understand, almost all women are at least a bit macchiavellian in a way. Men ofcourse too and nice guys ofcourse as well.
A friendzoned nice guy stays at that undesireable place because he serves a funktion and provided a service for the girl in question and mostly free or "underpriced".
If you are the friendzoned nice guy, the woman knows how to use your feelings to get what she wants.
Best example, girls often times go to friendzoned nice guys to complain about their boyfriends and tell them "why cant he be as nice as you"? Why do they do that?
Simple. They know they rejected you and chose him instead. They assume that you hate this guy for taking away the girl you wanted to get. And thus, they assume you will agree with her that her boyfriend is shit.
Look at the PUA technique of the boyfriend Destroyer. Why can people in such a Situation cause the girl in question to breakup with her boyfriend by telling her that her boyfriend was right?
Simple. The nice guy in the friendzone is a kind of vent used by the girl to get rid of blown up anger and to stabilize her relationship.
My experience is, the 2 things which help the best against this Position.
1. Clearly set boundaries
2. Do not be resentful of that guy. Try to be friend with that guy. (Or girl) do not hate him. Be nice to him.
Any resentment you have towards this guy will be used against you.
that's very good, if she's an actual close person and you care about the situation, don't just take her biases at face value and actually think if that boyfriend is all that terrible of a person!
but if they actually are.. i wouldn't just go and agree with them just so she would have more chances of ending up with me lol, do what you feel is right most of the times, and most likely that is the right thing.
@@vyllix8546 I agree. If she genuinely needs help you should probably help her. (Depending on the Situation. Sadly, there are some people which cannot be helped and who do the same stupid thing over and over again withoug realizing what they do.)
Why are you still around a friendzoned broad?
I have no enemies 🗿
because "nice guys" are often JUST nice. they don't know how to set boundaries, they have low self-esteem, and they don't have a great sense of humour or charisma. Women don't want bad guys (yes, there are some that do want them, but the same goes for guys who want bad bitches), they want charismatic independent men who also will treat them great. Just read/watch content for women and girls - it's a popular trope. Like in Twilight, the main girl falls in love with a vampire, a" bad guy", who is in fact not a bad guy and loves her dearly.
This is one of the most amazing videos I've ever watched in my life
Damn, you just called out my utilitarian "suffer as the bad guy now and be rewarded with heaven in the after life" performative sacrificial catholicism 😎
not of your own, but as a gift
Love how your speaking on love. While there is a couple in the background enjoying the company of each other, obviously in love.
my god bro you are my new favorite listenable content creator love your stuff, your gonna be my new sisyphus 55
0:37 The resemblance is uncanny!!!
Art imitates life!!!
The word "nice" orginally meant "foolish. weak, timid, ignorant (among other things)." It's only been linked to kindness in the past few hundred years. Just something to consider.
Meme analysis talking about the inversion and bending of desire to conclude the Saturnalia... noted.
Impeccable timing brother. Godspeed.
This was all perfectly laid out in Sui Generis' 1972 song "Quién me lo robó", off of their masterpiece album Vida
"God wants excitement and action, God expects people to make life entertaining for him. Make God proud, make God happy." After intense reflection, I landed on this exact same philosophy and was living it consciously by 25. As a result, my life has unfolded so beautifully that I often question whether I died at a certain point and have been dreaming since. I laughed aloud with glee to hear you state this idea of God and life as directly. For me, this is also the elegant answer to the 'problem of evil,' as narrative cannot exist without conflict nor life without death. Anyway, your entire way of being really resonates with me and the content is gourmet; truly grateful you deign to put it on yt for free.
Man, I really needed this video
Fucking love your content man. This fusion of deep ideas with culturally relevant memes is just pure gold and I really appreciate that you are sharing your perspective.
holy shit I wasn't expecting actual life advice and an exploration of philosophy on a channel called "MemeAnalysis"
I was pleasantly surprised though, please give me more advice that my absent father couldn't
This is an amazing dissection of resentment and the nice guy persona. What practical actionable steps do you recommend guys take to work through this dilemma?
the trusty 'ol noose (in-game of course)
idk imo most of these problems come from deep views of life that have been been malformed and the over value given to other human beings, when they are just fellow commoners of flesh and bone like you and me, so learning to value other things more or equally helps (although not easy sometimes depending on ur case
so really really trying to understand where your thoughts come from is a good strat
Great conclusion Mr. Analysis
There is a power and a beauty to kindness that us freely chosen. When kindness is given by default, its like getting a corporate Christmas card-its meaningless. Byt a card given by choice from a dear friend means infinitely more. Smiling upon your fellow human snd choosing benevolence for that particular day with no expectations or ulterior motives is closer to godliness than anything else
I was taught early on--expect nothing from this world. Helped me greatly in my development.
Thank the lords you have a mic - way better content in the wild
Damn man, lov eyour videos and i've been following you since like 2019 - it's cool to see you progress and evolve. + You are fit and nice now, very healthy ^^
True kindness is about using your energy to bring out the best in those around you and energize them in turn, not an artifice to beg and cause pity.
i thik that this also makes it so that those who succeed are seen as deserving or strong when its also not true, like yeah, nice guys dont deserve love just because, but the fact that you got a gf and whatnot doesn't mean you do deserve the gf, its more complicated and has nothing to do with virtue and strength, it has a lot to do with luck and stuff you dont control.
Thank you MemeAnalysis ;’D
I think the distinction you’re making is the motive to be nice or kind.
The wrong way;
For self gain, hope for reward to look good to others, for the self not for others.
The right way;
Altruistic motives, seeking no reward, for the benefit of those weaker or less fortunate, being un-observed preforming kind acts that benefit others.
the altruistic thing is another mask for self gain to most people
There is no altruism, everything you do is for self-gain.
@leopoldoii6795 that is an absolutely ridiculous statement, man.
@@hostilesinbound3241 It's the very definition of act. Actually, there is no such thing as altruism and egoism. There is only egoism, so even the distinction doesn't exist, it's a false dichotomy.
Think of the most altruistic act possible, like giving your life away to save random people you don't know. You'll only do the act if you think it is worth something, therefore you do the act for a reason, and a egoistic reason; you'll feel good doing that, or at least knowing that what you do is going to have good repercussions. An altruistic act is not actually physically possible, you can't do something you don't want to do, and you only do something if you think it's worth it for whatever reason.

So, some dudes give up quickly in real life, but will spend endless hours levelling up a fictional game character.
Develop YOUR character. Just keep living, do activities, look after yourself, build tolerance to rejection, and you will meet someone. It's almost statistically impossible not to if you keep mixing with people.
Meekness is not weakness, they are totally different. Humility is essential.
You dont deserve anything, but you can work for it.
Thats my word salad for today but its what i truly believe and its what has worked for me.
The majority of men who are having a hard time to meet someone are decent, they have things going for them. I personally have followed every self improvement advice in the book for years and my dating life is still non-existent. Just because something worked for you doesn't necessarily mean it will work for others.

@@hasanburakunal4536 start changing your attitude towards men and other people in general
Maybe because a fictional game character is not equal to real life as input doesn't mean there will be some output.
I gave up quickly in life because no matter what I do, it's never enough. Plus, I attract the wrong people. I get some weird bad vibes from them and I don't want to interact with them. I'm better off alone
Good lord I needed to hear this.
Yep you said it man, know when, sometimes it is a flower, sometimes it is unleashing the forces of plutonic extremes and dealing with the consequences. That's the deal, to know when.
It's a hard lesson to learn, but an essential one.
Max Scheler speaks to this: "...the root of Christian love is entirely free of ressentiment, but that ressentiment can very easily use it for its own purposes by simulating an emotion which corresponds to this idea. This simulation is often so perfect that even the sharpest observer can no longer distinguish real love from ressentiment which poses as love." Love does not serve life. Rather, it "gives life it's highest meaning and value."
If love is in service to life as the highest good, then it will always be biological. Yet if love is the highest good, even life itself is in service to love and therefore may be sacrificed. Nice guys will never experience love because for them love will always be clouded by the pseudo-sacrifice of 'being nice'. That approach is inherently nihilistic. Genuine love "keeps no record of wrongs" and is entirely indifferent to our self-constructed idea of justice. It is free from ressentiment.
Needed to hear this right now
A incredible comprehension of ressentiment.
Jordan Peterson could not be able to assess this ressentiment nowadays.
“just be pleasing to G-d, bro”
*edit: I mean God so I don’t appear weak
Once again thank for your insight, always helpful
Wow so people who've been winning at life since birth arent resentful, but most other people who do not win since birth you just expect them "just dont be resentful bro". Im increidibly resentful, my life has been shaped entirely by my appearance.
@GIDEONgame I lost weight and my life took a 180° and improved dramatically. I regained it all back and it's back to square one. People are shallow.

@@coletrain546 not really square 1, more square 2 or 3. You lost it once and have the know how on how to actually lose it again.

@anduro7448 it's not easier, you're wrong. I've tried many times but my disordered eating has prevented success. I just took it for granted before.
I feel for you. Lots of people overcome small challenges and feel superior to others. Some challenges cant be overcome. But if its just your looks, youre in luck, because thats not one of those challenges
Another way to look at it is be the Chad Apostle, not the Virgin goodboy minister who never disobeyed his mother.
I think for a lot of guys it's a surprise to learn being a good man means telling a lot of people no.
Don't you mean Apostate
we live in a gynocracy that upholds tolerance as the foremost virtue.
change my mind.
The longhouse creates its own enemies. Society bottom text.
About resentment, another reason for its arise is that you get told the world is full of rules, but later you discover life is a game (or just a ride, as Bill Hicks said) and the real game is to go against the rules (only idiots and good guys respect them), and that the most valued virtue in life and in the job market is the ability to lie. I'm serious. You want a job? You gotta lie in your resume to make it look better than it is, in the job interview you gotta act better than what you really are, gotta be ultra extroverted and a people's person even though you don't like almost anybody (and 'cmon, even without knowing the entire planet population, every one of us doesn't like most of it, don't be hypocrite), you can't say openly to anybody what you really think of them... you gotta be nice! You want to be accepted anywhere? You gotta be nice! Oh, but there's a difference and It's me sperging out and not getting the subtle intricacies of human relations. Yeah, maybe, but the amount of lying in every human interaction is too much for me.
The idea about the warped will-to-power is very intriguing. Why might some be more inclined to be more underhanded?
I was a niceguy as a highschooler and i paid the price in early university. It was very freeing to simply realize that a) i was a loser and b) i would have to work on bettering myself. That just opened the door to a new, exciting quest that never ends. Young people often think they are under an unbreakable curse, when they often would beneift from taking a brutally honest inventory of their lives. PS: if you are really in the dumps, unironically go try lifting some weights.
“Unironically try lifting some weights”
I’ve found doing things like getting a haircut or paying attention to clothing work wonders for self confidence. This is one thing women and girls get right that men overlook.
@@killgriffinnow completely agree with you. Weights helped me build strength but also made be appreciate my physical reality more (getting myself out of the mind, into the body). Wearing betting clothes helped a ton too
The problem with this mindset is not everyone needs improving. Improving can only go so far. Coming from someone obsessed with self improvement, at some point its societies point to either reflect on their ways, or get their fingers out of people's face. Save your blame. Seriously.

Cain’s relationship with God is very much like this. He did not do a direct and costly act of love, but chose the path of least resistance to himself. Love requires sacrifice and the responsibility to know there is a time for generosity, a time for cutting people off, a time for being reserved, and a time to kill.
Action brings good fortune
There is no virtue in weakness, which begets evil to reign.

Thank you for the valuable information. I do not identify as a 'nice guy' but I am trying to be nice, even though I'm not really. At a certain point you are saying thay you should not be kind, but you should be who you are. But what if your default state is not-niceness, because you are frying your brain with addictive behaviors? What if you are very lonely due to a lack of friends and no family? What if you are suffering from chronic fatigue and pain? What if you suffer from anxiety, anger and self-doubt due to a shitty childhood? What if you see the immeasurable potential in yourself but can't consistently make the right choices? I'm not saying you are wrong on your viewpoint; I'm just lost.
look upwards to the incredible journey you have ahead of you. how exciting! not everyone has it all from the beginning, for some it takes a while.
Patience and virtue traded from vices
I think that what hes saying is that kindness is a consequence of your wholeness, that you achieve by working on yourself, being a better form of self by overcoming yourself. Kindness by itself, a "forced" kindness is just fake and doesnt have value.
10000% on "niceness" being weakness masquerading as virtue.
Nice guys really did finish last. I think now it’s just ugly guys.
Is all resentment unjustified? I don't want to repress it either.
There is some type of blockage in me, from becoming what I am, some kind of fear.
Reject Christianity, communism, and all other Abrahamic notions of morality. They are vampiric and want to keep you weak.
oh, if i see myself as having a blockage i make a blockage and if i see myself as more i become more because i become as i am?

Women don't like bad boys, there are no reliable studies that show it, what we do know reliably is that *looks* are most important at creating love for both men and women.
Also if you look at all the bad boys that get attention and fangirls, they're all at minimum around 7/10 in looks, but usually even more so.
"Nice guys" wouldn't exist if society was honest enough to tell young men that "If you're looks are suboptimal don't expect any gf any time soon and move on. She won't suddenly change your mind if you play nice"
Indeed. I often say that Chads are total jerks because they can get away with it.
When I was a nice guy a girl I loved and who was very religious told me several times that I would make a good priest. I found the idea absurd because I'm a terrible Christian, if I am one at all. This video makes me think that she recognized the same kind of thing that is conveyed here. Maybe not consciously, but there was a realization that there were similar "vibes" so to say between nice guys and the kind of religious people Nietzsche criticized.
Now I am thinking about how in the past nice guys could find their purpose in turning inward and becoming mystics. Or if they were crappy at that as well they could at least find a place on the edge of society. But today the idea is just not feasible. We are too alienated and weak, religion weakened and corrupted too much. There's more and more people like that and society is worse and worse at handling them. It is no wonder that there's so many shootings and instability. At least in the West.

@@BlindBosnian thanks
It's funny, I have an analogous experience to you. After a painful breakup with an ex, my therapist told me I'd make a great councillor/therapist. He made me realise that my 'nice guy' flavour was therapizing all my previous relationships and how that builds resentment in the other person by almost not allowing them to build and grow as they need to. Therapy has it's place, but not in a relationship (for the most part). Sounds like it's the same for you - Priesthood and spiritual healing shouldn't take place in the relationship the way you or I might feel inclined to fit it in; it's just a condition of our childhoods that have resulted in this behaviour.
Reject the false Christ. Seek the true Christ that is already within you.

Meek is not the samething as weakness. Meekness is a choice, it is restraint. The wise person knows when to be feirce and when to be gentle.
Worth noting that you should pick your battles properly.
Maybe the one that has your eye wants someone better looking and more exciting.
But there are others out there that might find your modesty and "awkwardness" cute. You need to tune into THAT frequency and look for these girls.
What lens are you using? Camera? Color corrected in DaVinci?
I think there is a difference between being nice/pretending to be good & being kind. Kindness isn't an effort its an inherent aspect. All truly powerful people are kind as said by Takuan Soho, the mentor of Miyamoto Mushashi .

Very true on comparing nice guys/nerds to the life denial and slave morality of Christianity. Caught myself having some of those tendencies when younger and cleaned up my act. When I think of the ideal or strong will, I think of life affirming religions such as Greco-Roman Paganism during the Aeon of my Sun Sign ♈. The gods and heroes are muscular, the goddesses are beautiful, they fight battles and wars, they have sex, they have children. Rather than retreating away in solitude and being passive and celibate. Why deny this life for a supposed "next world"?
Chucky meme had me in tears 😂
Thank you memechadnalysis, my cousin needs to see this now and drop the nice guy act now.
if you think 10 minute youtube videos are life changing for your cousin, your cousin is cursed, and cursed again.
The book of Job is about the view of the believers that you described in the video: people who do right just waiting God to give them something in exchange.
@GIDEONgame Actually, bro.
@GIDEONgame Redditors just read it and conclude that God is an indifferent jerk.
I cannot put into words how joyful this made me feel
I kinda both agree and disagree with the idea that love is not good. Love is more then mere moralism as we typically understand it but let us be clear that it is more not less. Love is the fulfillment of the law. The law cannot fulfill itself but neither does love simply disregard the law.
Yo, that ending gave me chills 😏
you are my favourite teacher
Shutup old woman!
The religion of ressentiment that Nietzsche identified and that many modern men follow is a twisting of Christianity in my view. A relevant example; Saint Nicholas slapped and had a fist fight with Arius (according to iconography and tradition) at the Council of Nicea. That doesn’t seem like something a “nice guy” would do, yet he’s one of the most revered saints. Nietzsche obviously didn’t care about reaching a metaphysical truth, so did not care to research how the german Protestants that were the focus of his distain for Christianity were very different to the practitioners of 1400 years before in both praxis and ideology.
I joke about getting modern holy men to show ZChrist like behavior to money changers.
This is a bit phreakin' twisted mate. Nietzsche was a dumbassincel. Being nice is only halfway to the good, and will-to-power or taking what you want is still half-way to the bad. The point about true religion/spirituality/virtue is that you don't have it if you're expecting a gold star reward. Although that's exactly what you said around @6:40 -- on, the better advice is not to just "be yourself" or "take what you want" but rather to grow spiritually. But while that's the opposite of what the memetic "nice guy" is aiming for, it's also the opposite of the chad who is simply stagnant in spirit. Chad wants to be forever young and buff, lol. Their demise just takes longer.
We have a saying in romanian:
"Dumnezeu îți dă dar nu-ți bagă și în traistă"
"God gives it to you, but he won't also put in your satchel"
wise words. very interesting
