It's not a mindset, it's a fact. I'm not saying that it's right for war to be an economic booster, and I did not even come close to acting as if it's my "outlook on life". With all due respect, Fuck you for assuming that my word is not fact while your word is nothing but fact.
I'm hoping that my sarcasm meter is broken because if you really don't think that anything is important besides for the essentials there's no way you can justify being a member of a (mainly) skiing website. You obviously have never skied or snowboarded before because it's simply too trivial for you. I say all of this sarcastically because you obviously have skied, and are just a humongous hypocrite, not only for skiing, but also for going on the internet when you say that nothing is important besides for the essentials. Next time you should probably brainstorm an argument before you post it on here.
Anyways here are my thoughts. That's rad that you came to your "profound realization" the other day. I feel that different things are important to different people, and there is no right or wrong when it comes to what is important to someone as far as culture, money, power, etc. The problem is that people like you, among others try to push their values on everyone else when it's really not necessary. I wouldn't have posted in this thread just from your OP because it's completely reasonable to believe that people should stop fighting, and just be broskis. I posted because you started to say that other peoples' thoughts and opinions aren't important, which is a dick move, and it's why a lot of the fighting in the world starts when you think about it.
I just woke up recently so I apologize if anything is hard to read, or if all of it is hard to read. I may actually be an inferior to you, but I just felt like trying out typing my opinions.
