How do we help or deal with all the disgruntled young men in the country?

[JasoRockStar]

This is actually a perfect example of why no one cares about the 'male loneliness epidemic.'

You came in here trolling like a dikkhead and you got insulted for it. Sounds deserved to me

 

[JasoRockStar]

This thread is less about male loneliness and more about males being disillusioned about career and future prospects. I think women and sex should be decentralized in modern male thinking and more self love, growth, brotherhood and safe enjoyment should be centralized.

Boiling this down to make loneliness is a little disingenuous.

Say what you want about the church, but for decades it was a place where young people could have gatherings, make friendships, organize for a common goal and find love. With more young people not being raised up in it, that void in human connection/purpose is clear.




A lot of folks can say that "you don't need church for all of that", but in the last three or four decades since people started to move away from it, what institution has replaced the benefits that it brings?

Because the red pill talking points are saying that supporting men requires that women need to fall back and play a subservient role. The only solutions being offered for male loneliness is that women need to give up more p*ssy like it's an entitlement and go back to the kitchen and make dudes a sandwich. That's not collective or supportive. That's servitude and obligation. No one is obligated to give guys ass or do all of the housework. A lot of the solutions to this epidemic seem to depend on power dynamics returning to the 1950's and that's just not going to happen. So if people really care about this issue, they need to start thinking outside of the box instead of shaking their fists at the sky about the good old days, which weren't that great for many people.

This whole post is false

You're right but it brings it right back to my point. A point that people will be reluctant to acknowledge in regards to religion

The reason religion has died in this country is because they don't want to pay anybody

That God shyt has a threshold and a breaking point, and that breaking point is aligned with the lives men are able to create. It's easy to be a good Christian and go to church regularly when you have a nice house and a well fed family. The longer you go without those things the less important, and acceptable religion becomes

Your religion is whatever brings you closer to the life you desire. That can be Jesus, Mohammed, a gun, or chaos etc

 

[RickyDiBiase]

When haven't young men been disgruntled in this country

However, I think you really have to go on a case by case basis. Everybody needs a helping hand or guidance, but they have to want it/reach out for it. You can't force a man to have passion or purpose.

A close mouth don't get fed.

The low wages in this country have caused several casualties in our everyday lives and religion is definitely one of them.

1000% yes

@Fill Collins

I went to a Black Catholic mass/church from November 2023 til recently

I can't believe in any kind of deity but it really, really benefited me when I was lost

It was a small congregation but an even mix of 20-somethings and older folk

There were men's meetings where we'd just talk out our problems, I've met hella doctors and other professionals and more than one brother helped me with coping without drugs

I'm going to back to school in the summer, you can all those benefits there and get up in the world

When I have kids, I'll fake it and go to church with them, they need to grow out of it by themselves

The parents need to have this talk with their kids.

I will say this. No one gives a fukk about the plight of a young black male going through puberty into adulthood. There was just a thread about a youngin who was taken advantage of sexually by a school teacher and instead of mf's saying something as simple as "that sucks" or "I hope he gets the therapy he desperately needs," nikkas was in there saying how a 6th grader wanted the dikk, or at least could've been a woman who did it (like that makes it better), and other foul shyt. We're really our own worse enemy. Everything ain't a fukkin joke.

But if we're talking about in the context of white males, I don't give one single iota fukk about them. They've had the world as their oyster and once something they don't get something which they believe is their gotdamn birthright, then everyone has to die and/or suffer cause of their fragile ass feelings. I know I'm sounding hypocritical but idc. I see it all the time at my job. A good 90% of complaints about racial discrimination are from white folks. It don't even be shyt like they swear to us ain't racism cause it's not a racial slur or etc. It be shyt like I walked into a room and everyone got quiet and when I left they giggled and started talking again. Maybe they just don't fukk with you

I agreed but they don't for some reason

I saw that thread and that shyt was awful.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this kid was momma raised by a Black woman low key scared to check her son.

But if Pops was around he was obviously too preoccupied with what he had going on than to do his primary job.

Young Men must be consistently checked by Older Men
