“I play Low Status White Male Simulator because God has abandoned us.” -Emil Cioran
Attention low status white male! Today is the day! After many days spent rehearsing your elevator pitch, today you have an important job interview with technobiz incorporated!
So now you have to…
Wash every hole…
Choose your outfit…
And ride to what will hopefully become the place where you may spend most of your remaining wake hours on this good blue Earth.
Do you have what it takes, to be an employee of Technobiz incorporated?
Or are you destined to be one of the many victims, spit out and humiliated by the corporate behemoth?
Find out, by playing Low Status White Male Simulator!
Coming to a desktop computer near you.
I am disappointed.
I expected a coooming simulator.
I always experience an immense sense of dread (and guilt) whenever I watch videos like this one:

“Morning as a 31-Year-Old Female Surgeon Living Alone”
Look at all the things she does in the 3+ hours BEFORE her work day even begins!
FUCK!
ME!
Oh boy! I sure am excited to play low status white male simulator!
“God please save me I want to go back. I miss my friends.”
Thank you! I fuckin’ laughed my arse off!
Get a grip, Rintrah.
I have a suggestion for a topic.
It’s fascinating to me that most of humanity were still in the stone age just a couple of hundred years ago.
All the natives of North and South America had nothing but sticks and stones. Native Australians were probably even more primitive than Homo Erectus, who at least had boats. All of Africa was stone age 300 years ago.
There are still stone age tribes living amongst us that we observe, mostly in the Amazon, but also in Africa and Asia. Isn’t that a bit amazing?
Only White people and Asians have been on the path to modern technology, for the past few thousand years.
Before the arrival of White people in Australia, they were still wandering around all day picking up lizards to eat and searching for water holes, just as they had been doing since the beginning of time.

Isn’t that remarkable?
Stay away from the primitives of Sentinel Island.

They’re living the same today as 60,000 years ago.
I don’t think it’s been discussed enough.
Notice how racists are always such ignorant, moronic, pigs.
A couple parts of west Africa apparently made it to the bronze age by that point but that still isn’t very far. The Inca, however, were something like Sumeria without metalworking for the level of technology. I reckon Jared Diamond’s argument about needing both founder crops and an east-west axis (just one won’t work) has some merit to it.
FFS – stop disagreeing with everything – that was funny AF. Moving on. . .
I am baffled that people are supposed to have lived here, where I live, for tens of thousands of years, and left no mark at all apart from a bit of rock art here or there, and a few scarred trees, and some stone artifacts.
No permanent buildings at all – not for tens of thousands of years.
How the fuck was that possible?
You have to understand; this is a tough place – it can kill you if you fuck up. It’s deceptive. Extremes of cold and hot, both in one day.
How on Earth did they survive that with no permanent shelter?
My ancestors would come in at 3 in the afternoon in winter, or the landscape would kill you – pneumonia – game over.
It boggles the mind.
The aborigines must have had some excellent techniques.
It’s enough to make me wonder if the stories about how long people have been here are true.
You just cannot imagine tens of thousands of years in this shithole without anyone ever making a house.
It’s beyond imagination.
Not a single fucking permanent structure.
Rock shelters, okay, but what does that tell you?
Either their system was so good that they didn’t need to bother, or ours is so bad that we won’t last at all.
Once, there were so many moths here that they would block out the moon.
You cannot imagine it.
We are lost.
You would not believe the abundance of insects that were once here – I used to measure the seasons by them – now, all fuckin’ gone! All my little mates: GOOOOONNE!
Where are they – you wouldn’t believe it. The trails of grubs are gone. The Christmas beetles are gone. All gone. . .
The big spiders? All gone. I haven’t seen a properly big one in ages. They used to be everywhere. They’d come in before the rain.
I used to know it was going to rain because a nice palm sized spider was on the ceiling.
I never killed one of them. Nobody did. They were too beautiful to kill, if someone was scared, we used to catch them in a glass with a bit of paper and take them outside, always careful not to hurt little mate.
Now?
All gone. GOOOOOOOOONE!!!!
I’m ranting now. . . and/or grieving. . .
Forgive us Father, for we are stupid cunts who know not what we do.
I would take it all down – in a heartbeat.
Let the chips fall where they may.
The ‘primitive’ aborigine culture lasted for tens of thousands of years.
Our civ?
Well, it’s in the hundreds and it’s out of time.
And it was so much nicer – lots of game, gin clear water – impossible to believe now.

One of the reasons I’m interested in Rintrah’s blog is that he kind of sounds like Derrick Jensen who can’t wait for the downfall of industrial civilization. I was shocked and amazed when I first read Jensen. You’re allowed to write this??
Also, Rintrah writes much better English than me in his 2nd or 3rd language and puts a lot of effort into his posts.
I looked into Derrick’s ideas many, many years ago in my search for alternatives to the status quo. DGR is very cool. Hopefully, the movement will gain traction.
Wombat, just this morning I had a conversation with a man who was part of the Monkey Wrench gang, deeply involved in the years long war between environmentalists and the logging industry in the Pacific Northwest.
Mind blown!
Because I closely followed the saga for years and he was doing it, fighting for the few remaining groves of redwood trees, the spotted owl, all that. The stories…!
In Sydney the Christmas beetles were exterminated by North Shore vermin poisoning the beetles that left little mounds of dirt on their fucking lawns. The drop-kicks who sprayed the chemicals probably poisoned themselves, too.
Scumbags.
The insect apocalypse is truly frightening. 80% of bees disappeared last year?? WTF? Could be DOOM.
I wouldn’t think the cause would be pesticides in New Zealand. Maybe it actually is 5G wifi.
Yeah, I reckon it’s basically everything – lights, poisons, pollution, climate change, habitat destruction, etc. Life is just allergic to modernity. The scale and speed of the destruction is beyond comprehension. Example: some profit-accumulation motivated arsehole changes a law, and suddenly machines clear unimaginably vast swathes of bush. Then someone says: “Oh, hang on a tic, this isn’t exactly what we had in mind. . .” But it’s too late! No takesie backsies. Before anyone can react, it’s all gone! That’s part of the problem: so they say, we just haven’t evolved to deal with problems of this magnitude. It all just happens on a scale and with a speed that’s beyond belief. The human mind isn’t able to process it all. To which I would add: that it’s not just that we haven’t evolved to deal with these vastly complicated planetary scale issues, it’s also that we don’t want to! Huge chunks of the ‘industrial-technological operating system’ are designed to keep ‘big picture’ thinking out of the loop. Left-brain reductionists don’t even think about the broader impacts of things and capitalism only values things it can put a dollar on, so nature ends up as background noise and the… Read more »
I used to clean flats where the bogong moths congregated around the staircase lights, and fell to the floor. Ankle deep they were. Today, as the absence of bugs splattered on windscreens also attests, none. And the plebs simply ignore it all. Indeed, I’d bet that many are happy with it.
Sickening to think of how many insects would be saved if we’d just turn off the lights. Example:
“Parliament House, built on Capital Hill with its elevated floodlit flagpole and extensive lighting, disrupts the flight of the moths and acts as a giant light trap for moths migrating through the Canberra area during October and November.”
The architect never thought about that, and the authorities don’t care to turn the lights on the mighty phallic flagpole off either.
Modern civ is just one giant death trap to all life.
Where I live there’s still plenty of bugs, but still less than there used to be. Makes me sad.
The Stone Agers lived with the natural world for a million years, give or take (you brought up H.erectus) and loved it and worshipped it. The H.saps lived in balance with Nature until they ceased being hunter-gathers and became farmers, and from there the path to self-destruction lay before us, and we took to it, enthusiastically. That journey’s end is in sight.
It should be noted Mulga that most of the megafauna was actually made extinct by hunter gatherers. They call it the “Late Pleistocene extinctions” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Pleistocene_extinctions Major extinctions occurred in Australia-New Guina (Sahul) beginning around 50,000 years ago and in the Americas about 13,000 years ago, coinciding in time with the migration of modern humans into these regions. Extinctions in northern Eurasia were staggered over tens of thousands of years between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago while extinctions in the Americas were virtually simultaneous, spanning only 3,000 years at most. Overall, during the Late Pleistocene about 65% of all megafaunal species worldwide became extinct rising to 72% in North America, 83% in South America and 88% in Australia with all mammals over 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) becoming extinct in Australia and the Americas and around 80% globally Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia experienced more moderate extinctions than other regions It was really common for hunter gatherers to intentionally start fires and burn down huge swathes of forest in order to drive out prey animals and create fields that were more suitable for running down prey. Australia for example used to be far more forested before the aboriginals arrived and started to burn… Read more »

Those agents are so much more crazy than all of you.
It’s all fake though.
