Your Tolerance Level & Threshold for BS

I semi retired 12 years ago and bought a winter time condo less than half a mile from a notorious entertainment area called The Cross in Sydney-au.

Im not well travelled enough to know the implications of “the cross”. Im not being a smart ass- Ive never been to your country. What is this area really like?
In the same vein of thought: are muslims pervasive in Australia, or does it still have an organically ethnic feel to the country?
Ive never been to Australia. Id love to go, but now Id feel if I went Id meet more middle easterners than Australians.
Is this true?

I did not want to steal any one’s lime light, but seeing that no other Aussies have replied in the last 72 hour’s or so, I may as well fill you in at least partially on Sydney Au.

As Sydney was developing into a large city, during the first three decades of twentieth century it suffered the effects of mass unemployment due to first world war and the great depression that followed. The busy center in and around the quickly acquired a darker side to it due to black markets, racketeering and all other manner of illegal trades you can think of. This trend continued strongly up until mid 70’s and although it seems it has declined, in reality it is due to the center being decentralized as the city grew into a place of multi million inhabitants. Nowday’s it still retains some of the criminal element on the surface of it all but it also retained the entertainment value because of it’s venues as it had a hundred years.

Organically ethnic feel has largely disappeared due to the countries more metropolitan influence both from Europe and the states and good assimilation of other ethnic groups. Saying that, there remains a certain amount of unease specifically due to a small but growing minority of fairly vocal migrants from Muslim countries. As much as I may be in favor of of humanitarian efforts, it irks me to no end when they demand their religious rights. The simple fact of that matter is, that when a guest comes to your house, they should not be telling you what you can do in your own f~~~ing home and like the old proverb says, ” when in Rome, act like a Roman ” . . . . . if not . . . f~~~ off to where you came from.

Australia as of this month is just shy of 24.000.000 million people. Muslim ethnic’s about 750.000 to 800.000 which equates to roughly 3% of the total population of the country. Roughly about 25% of Muslims are hard core religious and the rest are moderates.
So no, you don’t have to worry about rubbing shoulder or elbows with them if you ever drop in for a beer or three and a shrimp on a barbie in the land of Downunder.

I would do sleep with ear plugs, but I am concerned I won’t hear the alarm clock.

In regards to the event, I wonder how many guys who consider themselves MGTOW wouldn’t find that behavior described in the original post to NOT be BS, and they wouldn’t engage in it. I am curious, because my take is that it is very Blue Pill in nature. I consider doing what the masses do that is stupid to be Blue Pill overall (yes, I am more general in view of Blue Pill, than maybe a pure MGTOW definition), because they want to try to fit in and stupid things are way to not be lonely. Add into it delusions you think you get a woman doing that also.

I think my BS tolerance level is probably still about the same as it has always been, but my reactions to it are much better(for me) the more MGTOW I go. In my sex-hazed youth, I would take slights by the c~~~s way too personally and be truly p~~~ed a lot. Same with illogical injustice and double standards.

Now as I’m finishing up the last couple months of my 30’s, I have seen enough to just be glad that when I see horrid s~~~ I get to just think to myself that “Thank f~~~ing hell that it doesn’t pertain to me”. Its the most gratifying thing in the world to be able to say that about lots of s~~~ that normal folks obsess and waste huge amounts of time/money/emotion on. Watching those personal struggles play out and enjoying how little of that drama is in my life is a great joy. So now instead of that leading to a slow fuming state of mind, it leads to a small warm inner glow and a smirking almost smug smile… Those poor bastards and the c~~~s who hound them will never know that kind of peace.

As for the living around too many idiots, I had that problem living in a low quality rental area(slum) up until last year. I had bought a s~~~pile house in a rental neighborhood and lived in it for over a decade. I put no money into it, and basically drained the equity on it as my rent. It was worth little when I started but almost nothing when I left. However it allowed me to save all that non existent rent or high mortgage payments, so that now I have moved where I basically have no neighbors(1/4 mile away). It’s f~~~ing quiet, new and awesome, and there ain’t no room for c~~~s at my house(1 acre with 755 square foot house and a huge man’s garage)

I wasnt going to adress this, but since so many people mentioned this in the thread, I will.

I dont live in some slum area. In fact, I live in a dowtown area, so I should expect people partying and noise. But the fact is, Its an extremely desirable location.

The building next to me – I can LITERALLY throw a stone from my patio and hit it, because its 20 feet away- the pentouses were going for $10MM during the peak of the market. Michael Jordan owned a vacation condo in that building at one point.

Dont get me wrong, my place is VERY modest and small, but the locale is off the charts. Im sitting in my chair in the living room as I type this, and admiring the view. Fireworks every night in the summer behind a sky-line.

I dont say that as a boast: my building is VERY frugal and the price cannot be beat for the location, which is why I chose it. This building is definitely for single men and most women wouldnt want a downtown studio. <–I say this as a self inflicting dig. My pad isnt some luxury palace, but simple and perfect for a bachelor.

But the “activity” in the area isnt the result of some “ghetto”, but rather being downtown in a very popular tourist attraction.

So yes, I should expect to deal with this s~~~ but that wasnt the purpose of the post. It was a question for tolerance of BS and how to deal with it.
