Shitty parenting and the education system being eroded year by year. This is the generation that the billionaires wanted. Poor, stupid and complicit.

I must live in a bubble. Both of my (university age) kids and their friends are vocally offended by Trump and Musk, and they think Polierve is a bad joke.

My oldest games online with a few Americans and they are also very anyi-trump. ("They wouldn't be my friends if they supported him")

This gives me hope for the future

Talked to a few of my friend's kids. They all think Musk is a genius.

I see Andrew Tate victims in all of them.

Gen x parents have dropped the ball so hard it’s not even funny.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

So much alcoholism. And 2008 happening in their prime earning years caused several gen X’ers I know to never recover financially.

Where are their fucking parents? My generation bitches endlessly about boomers, then...raises another generation of them?

Nice.

I vote for counter propaganda feeding them that right leaning people are all child predators or will become one. Make them demonized the same way they demonize the left.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 week ago

Well the kids are leaning right because of propaganda and mind control. Plain and simple. Instagram and Twitter actively push ragebait content designed to radicalise impressionable kids.

These kids have got awful fucking parents

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I still don't understand how they are doing it.

At no point in history could you go to the woman dealership and buy a woman. You could maybe pay for a little time with a woman, or buy a slave at a slave auction. You could negotiate with a woman's father some exchange for his daughter. But that exchange usually had to have something of value, and it also meant you lived beyond the age of 30.

Like I get that younger people are dumb, and being a man, I can attest that men are particularly dumb, but how fucking whacked are these men thinking they will somehow benefit from this?

The strict dress code for women came about because debt collectors would show up to farms in the Fertile Crescent to demand payment on a loan, and decide to take their daughters as payment. (Drunkenly-remembered source: Graeber, "Debt: The First 5,000 Years.")

I'm just gonna say it

Humans have a weird system for propagating the species.

Both JP and PP couldn’t fight their way out of a wet paper bag and they’re waxing poetic about masculinity?

PP’s so masculine that when one of the racist supporters said he’d rape his wife, this powerhouse just pulled down his pants, bent over and took it.

Anything these twats says is absolute nonsense.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You who could fight, though?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Didn't he also win that fight?

The manosphere is the symptom.

I'll give it a watch, thank you! I'm not saying it's not problematic and doesn't amplify the crazy, btw. It most certainly does. The sickness is not creating a society that has time, money, and skill set necessary to well... properly socialize our population, as well as innoculate them against this mess. But in a sane world, most manosphere garbage would be banned as hate speech, probably.

100%, this video mostly goes into how fascism requires violent men to sustain it, and so violent men it will create through isolation and harmful propaganda. it's basically positive feedback loop where as fascism gains more ground, it isolates us more, making it easier to make men feel lonely and like they're failures, and that the system doesn't work, but instead of trying to make the system work by embracing a new view, they instead move from violence to hyperviolence.

the video basically both agrees with you, and at the same time makes a compelling argument that all the people killing us right now are sad pathetic losers whose daddies never loved them, and they see no avenue to a better tomorrow so they do… this

That's basically why I've moved from a "f them , they get what they deserve" to trying to establish dialogue that offers a path to redemption/atonement. If the person demonstrates no good faith and continues to attack, boundaries must be set and enforced. When good faith is demonstrated, we try again. If they revert to abhorrent behavior, we set former and more extensive boundaries. If they are straight up belligerent/dangerous, we segregate and rehabilitate/re-educate humanely, and attempt reintegration. Capitalism is not the system for that. It's time to try socialism.

This. I would argue housing affordability is one of the main root causes.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

All of vulture capitalism is the cause.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

Capitalism in general, from observing for 40 years.
