It's weird as fuck to see someone else on this board who has run for office.

I wonder how many of us there are.

For me it didn't shoot my motivation, but it was sort of intended to be a last effort - I only did it because I'd promised to kill myself at the start of that year and I figured if I was just going to die I could wait a little longer to try to make a change. If I won I would have to go through with it, but if I lost I could just die like I was already going to do. I ultimately exhausted every resource I had in the run (which wasn't very much, it was a lot of footwork, but I managed to increase my resources somewhat by the end of the year to put a jolt into the campaign) but still failed on both counts. Failing to off myself is a lingering shame, and probably the greatest one I can imagine - it wasted a lot of time and now I'm just here fucking around again.

It's weird that you have apartment buying ambitions, though. Like I know that's not something wildly ambitious, but it's kind of funny to think of someone having (or having potential to attain) that kind of capital and still holding this mindset. I'm sure I would if I was in your position, but that's kind of the point - I don't think I'll ever be there and don't even really want to be.

Are you a nihilist? You could always be a purposefully malicious landlord. I don't know if there's any practical difference between doing it maliciously & doing it profitably, but you could arch your eyebrows and gnash your teeth while you hold out for land prices to go up. You could pyramid your fingers when you evict people. I don't know, could be fun. But it seems like shaping the world into greater horror on purpose is probably foolish - it does it on its own. Nevertheless an interesting idea.

Sounds kind of like me. I wanted to off myself when I was younger, but I figured I might as well offer my "ideas" to the world and empty my brain of them, and once I did that I could off myself. I have been working through various open source and closed source ideas I have had and have had some success in getting ideas out of my head, but they are not perfect.

On the political side, it is funny as I did better than one of the major parties that had previously run against this guy (I ran as an independent) and we had a decent lead. I think a lot of what was driving it was the rah rah of a certain politician but once that died down the coalition I was working with went full retard and other similar coalitions did as well. At this point I jut want to work on financial independence and coding. With a bit of work I might be able to leave the country. Hell a friend started up a non-profit and asked me to run the digital marketing (site and facebook) so perhaps if he gets funding I could go fuck off to the jungle and rest there in peace. But before I do that I would like to try the programming career before I do that.

As far as capital, I suppose it depends on what country you are in. In the US if you can get really low down payments on a place if you live in it. So I bought my current place (and honesty I don't want to leave it), waited a year or two (more likely two) and then moved and used my residence as a rental, I could rinse and repeat. My main motivation is not so much I want to be a landlord (I would probably make 150 after I pay the bankers and al that) but that I could use that as retirement income eventually and I would like to get some extra space in case my gf and I have a child. I just worried the prices will get so high that I will not be able to even get a 2 bedroom condo (I live in a one bedroom now) and we will look like something out of Tiny Tim's dreams (from Scrooge). Also I have done well in stocks (not enough to quit society yet, but enough to take a trip for a few years) and I feel like I need to diversify as the stock market is a bit iffy for the most part with a few exceptions.

As for the business side, the worse I may do is reach out to people instead of putting ads so I can choose who I want instead of worrying sick. When I rented they were asking for money up front just to be considered for an apartment. I want to avoid that BS. I just want to rent at cost pretty much (and perhaps an eventual profit).

I know I might seem relatively stable, but the low cost of living helps, along with an ok job and the right timing. I already missed out buying a duplex as I want on contract with the previous company. Coming full circle, if I was not such a sperg I might not have this outlook on life, but I dread this culture and the only reason I want to squirrel away this much is I want to leave. The culture, the ideas, the ethnography (I don't mean race, but just the design of things) are fucked up. I had already posted about this one area but for about 40k I could buy a condo in his one country and just chill the fuck out. The people are still chill and it was just weird seeing school kids without phones and interacting with each other when I waked by there with my ex (she was from this country). People from that country might think I am fucking nuts for wanting to live in this one area, but there is still that human energy that repels my doomer vibes I get stateside. So yeah I am probably an anomaly but I just want to build a cushion against society's whims so I am not sucked up as a "mental defective" or whatever.
