ER is relatable as fuck. His manifesto is just a masterpiece.
At the surface, it looks immature and narcissistic, which is all normies see. In truth, he is just not hiding natural and normal selfishness everyone feels, and speaking his mind with confidence because he's not a coward.
Aren't we all selfish? Would your reaction be the same if you found out you had cancer vs if you found out your neighbor did? Mine wouldn't. If it was me I'd be destroyed, if it was my neighbor I'd feel kinda bad until I turned the TV on and forgot.
So, what is wrong with saying it like it is as Elliot does? He was clearly a man who loved himself, and believed in himself so much that he never gave up on himself, despite literally everyone he ever met treating him poorly. He was relentlessly and unapologetically confident, and that's what makes his manifesto such a masterpiece and a pleasure to read. Because it's real, as he dared to say whatever he wanted.
How long has it been since you've read anything real, which isn't completely sugarcoated, filtered to fit social rules...? Bc personally Elliot's manifesto is the only book like that that I've ever read. Which just hints at what a great man he was. Kinda red pilled, and I don't agree with him on everything, but still awesome.
We're so used to EVERYTHING being adapted to social rules, that we read something real and it's completely unexpected, even hard to process. People pretends to be humbler than they are, pretends to care about things they don't, pretends to be popular to look good even if they're actually lonely, etc etc
@Therapywasaaste srsly read his manifesto if you haven't brocel
