Why are all your friends retarded assholes, man?
Ex-friends by their own choosing. That's what proves this fucking disintegration is evil.

I'd rather drink with an honourable enemy than a cowardly friend

I really wonder if it's an upper class elitist thing.
I was born low class.
Clawed my way up to middle class.

But among the section 8ers, permanent renters, and broken families where I grew up - if your friend was tripping on some bullshit you just said "Dude, stop being a little bitch."
And then you resumed the friendship.
Or maybe they'd shoot back "Shut the fuck up, bitch!"
And then the topic was dropped.
/shrug

All your friends seem to want to seize a deadass topic, beat that fucker to death, and ensure that everyone sees the shit precisely the same - like some kind of pod people collective.
How can you make friends out of that?
Boggles my poor-man's mind.

the class you are referring to is the Bourgeoisie

they have no honour, they are cowards, so you can't rely on them

you have the American fighting spirit, you're not middle class, it's a warrior class

friendship comes & goes, all that matters is honour

I would even come for mine enemies in the breach, if honour demanded it

Christian soldiers, there is a higher purpose

Ah, so it's a recent development.
Well ... that's good to hear.
You never know - I was thinking maybe poor people remained poor because we don't badger each other into complete opinion conformity at social gatherings.
You'll never know what the keys to success are if you don't look for differences.

Honor culture is the only way societies survive in the face of hostile authority.
The mafia, street gangs, Hells Angels, fundamentalist Islam, breakaway religious cults, etc, etc - they only survive through enforcing their own code of honor.

Otherwise the prevailing power would swallow them up.

this is why I only really only associated with soldiers here in Canada

Canadians don't have the American fighting spirit, it's a land of cowards, sycophants & cronies

in America on the other hand, I meet warriors all the time, just walking down the street

see, Bourgeois refers to the Burgh

the medieval walled towns, where the merchant classes prospered

they had men of honour to stand on the walls to defend them

but for Canadians, those men are Americans

so Canada has become entirely bourgeois, because Canadians don't defend their own colours

Well ... you know our history, so ... it's in the DNA.
Everyone was free (post 1865), so everyone had the opportunity to go for what they wanted.
But not everybody had the same goals, religion, drive, opportunity, or value system.
So you had to make sure you and your folk got theirs, and defend it from those who would take it from you.

Wind up with a lot of warriors that way.

But now ... we're just winners in our hearts and shit.

So the next warrior culture is primed to fuck us up pretty bad.
