You ain't wrong. That's what makes this world increasingly fucked up.

What's that saying? "The truth tends to have a natural bias to the left" or some shit like that.

Sigh. Defending OP I can't believe I'm doing this ... It's "handwaves" everywhere.

College enrollments of men are dropping. High school attendance is dropping. Schools are not designed for boys. Society has grown to empower women which is good, but in some ways it's been at the expense of boys.

Now that in itself is not a problem if these boys were represented by healthy role models but in the erosion of traditional families many boy are raised with no, or poor representation which is exacerbating the issue. I'm not just talking about single parent homes. I'm talking about toxic adults that have dug into the battle of the sexes.

My boys will be alright because I'm a great dad and I love women and want to be the rising tide that lifts all ships be they women, lgbt, poc, etc.

I know men my age however who have lost the plot and are more toxic today than they were 20 years ago. These men have kids... Shit is generational.

Good parents raise good kids as a generalization.

Think of it in terms of "out in the open". Fwiw most (all) media orgs have a bias and as such are more likely to endorse a certain candidate. That could be President, it could be mayor. Would you rather have that endorsement in the open or hidden in context?

I will continue to say, and I mean no disrespect to you or anyone else who opposes this shitstain, the fact that he was President once and is very likely to be President again speaks volumes on who the American people are and it's not nice.

A large chunk of you think this man is a good representation of you on the world stage. Someone who is weak, overweight, obnoxious, loud, a bully, sexist, racist, I can go on. This is who a large chunk of Americans feel best represents them.

As a Canadian who has been to America on and off for decades this long predates Trump. Y'all have an unhealthy obsession with the military. You always have. To paraphrase Tim Walz, "it's fucking weird"

You need the context. He's an illegal immigrant yes but he's also rich and white from an area of the world where he was probably raised with a sense of entitlement being Afrikaans from South Africa. When he was growing up black people were essentially a slave class and like many rich white people his family profited in part off of that.

So keep in mind he's the "right" type of illegal immigrant.

You do not get to the level of success that Mr. Beast has without stepping on people to get there.

It's safe to say this of any hugely successful person. They by and large all have despicable qualities to them, the question is are they introspective and working to change those qualities in a positive way? I don't think many of them are.

This is less an indictment on Mr. Beast and more on ultra successful people in general.

Canadian but same problem here. Long term we need UBI worldwide if we plan on ever moving forward as a species.

Short term we need benefits for those less fortunate keyed to inflation at a bare minimum. In Ontario people with disabilities are paid below the poverty line. It's disgusting.

  1. Crush your enemies
  2. See them driven before you
  3. Hear the lamentations of their women
