      It's a shame what is happening, they want to make the new generation weak and destroy the society using the social media and other ways .Stuff like liberalism feminism . The even promote gays . The want the new generation to be snowflakes and not able to defend themselves nor their girls , also not know what is right and wrong , so the government is in control. And bring im imgrants . And eventually destroy the society and controlling it . A man should have honor and courage leadership and faith , defend his family and women with any means . Teach kids to love their country and defend it ..

    To add to his point about seperated twins still being very similar, Bruce Buffer (the UFCs main announcer) didn't know his brother Michael Buffer (all time great boxing announcer) until he heard him announcing and decided he wanted to do that too, he actually started out as Michael's manager after they discovered each other. Now they are the two most recognizable announcers in the world within their respective sports

    Me and my twin brother have the exact same interests for example we both love football and there are some periods of time when we both enjoy watching some other sports and there are other times when we both don't enjoy watching that different sport. But the crazy thing is that we get bored after the same amount of time. You can also see that culture plays a major role from the fact that I love movies and literature because of an ex girlfriend of mine who loves those hobbies but my brother isn't interested at all. It's really fascinating

Your consciousness and subconscious are separate and your subconscious is that voice in everyone's head / over thinking. It really does allow your subconscious to shut the f#@k up and calm down. It's genuinely the most powerful mind skill anyone could learn it should be better advertised to everyone the benefits of this
