“The truth is, chivalry has basically fuck all to do with women, and everything to do with horses. See, the word “chivalry” comes from the French word “chevalier,” which comes from “cheval,” which means “horse.” Chivalry is literally just “rules for if you have a horse.” This was an important set of rules to have in chivalry times. Horses were the Blackhawk Helicopters of the Middle Ages; if you had a horse, you could absolutely kill anybody who didn’t have a horse and nobody was going to say a god damn thing. The only thing stopping you was chivalry. That’s what chivalry was for. Chivalry was – and still is – basically a way of saying, “okay, I have an optimized death machine between my legs, maybe I should look out for people who don’t have one of these.” So it’s not that chivalry is specifically about defending women because women are weak. It’s that chivalry is about defending people who don’t own horses, and in the middle ages women didn’t own shit.”

“The real expression of political nihilism would be in voting and writing letters to politicians, joining a political party, believing in freedoms and rights, etc. since in our modern age these actions are quite clearly emptied of all content and importance. This modern society is, for anyone who sees clearly, disappearing and decaying. Those who believe in a world with no future are the real nihilists, as they never allow life and action to expand past the official boundaries delineated by society.”
