Spin: Why doesn't society ask young men why they've checked out?

[JNew]

Society is in decay.

I go out and hear loud vulgar music. See men with their pants down. Obscene behavior from men and women. Fat people everywhere. Everything is coming to a point where there is no return only death can fix the problems. And I’m only in my early 30s saying this.

Biggest problem is no one is held accountable. It doesn’t pay to be good. The system is broken and rigged. Not impossible to beat but nowadays the youth are set up to fail at an early age to be cogs in the wheel. We are at the stage in this century where the government that held the boomers hand from 1950 to now has to come to an end for the preservation of the country. We can’t afford to keep investing in a dying population. The boomers got their hippie dream America (the 2010s), was it fun for you too? The youth have been lulled to sleep for this and now there getting their wake up calls. The reasons we’ve had countless mass shooters sine columbine. The writing been on the wall. They took young girls feed them lies and filled their egos to get them in college and in offices to be exploited for profit and sexual exploitation. They let violent criminals teach our kids through music that yolo lifestyle is the only way. The reckoning is coming. It won’t be long before alot of these men and women realize there youth was stolen for profit and vanity.

Most these people have nothing to show for it either. But now they’re exploiting the financial system to keep people confused so they don’t revolt.


Best thing to do is get your money, live somewhere cheap and live off the land for the next 20 years and pray for better days.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

See that's the key thing. Society does not have to have "winners" and "losers" these are arbitrary definitions decided upon due to the influence of capitalism. We have more than enough wealth in this country so that the "losers" can afford to have a home and a family. With the advent of technological advancements like AI and automated manufacturing should mean more efficiency and things becoming cheaper not more expensive. We're creating robot slaves which we will not have to pay to perform necessary tasks to produce goods within society yet things are becoming more expensive? That doesnt make any sense. But it does once you realize that a select few are stealing from us. Of course we could come together and stop it by working together but the culture is too individualistic and selfish to do so

I never understood the whole “winners” and “losers” mindset that people have.


You are literally one bad/good decision, or one bad/good day to be either or. It’s life, people need to just live and do things they enjoy.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

This the entitlement some of these nikkaz have is nuts. I have a cousin who wants to be a chef and I was telling he might have to do something like become a dish washer at a restaurant and work his way up. The nikka looked at me like it was beneath him. Meanwhile I was looking at him like this nikka got no job can’t pay his rent and his mom is helping pay it even though she don’t live there.

nikka thinks he should be chef Ramsey status because he completed school. But this is what happens when you raised by a single mother and not by an active father in the household. My father wouldn’t allow me to do that he had my ass working at 15 told a nikka start pounding the pavement.

People think it’s just school and thats it, like you no longer have to work for nothing…


At least, I think it was a mindset for women. Waves of getting these criminal justice, or mid-law type degrees or something and the job is just thrown your way.

If he was smart, he should’ve been interning or volunteering for free in college to get experience and network, if that was the field he wanted. Plenty of other things he could do

The vast majority of people, including highly educated people up to Nobel prize winning scientists, judges, politicians, your favorite "thought leaders" and the people who raised you, are philosophically illiterate. This means they are unable to analyze how society, its institutions and its people actually function and can only describe surface level phenomena and can't break down where the obvious social problems that we encounter in daily life stem from. They can't actually link effects to causes and can only think and talk in clichés that are based on primitive models and beliefs about how society works or is supposed to work.

That's why reading threads in The Locker Room is so saddening and entertaining at the same time because people are shockingly poor at reading the degenerate behavior and social decay that we are witnessing all around us. People have no solutions. The world isn't a Hollywood movie and society isn't magically going to be ok again. There is going to be a lot of increasingly violent repression and violent clashes in the next few decades because societies haven't learned to successfully design and implement an effective system of checks and balances that can weed out the narcissism that human populations are prone to be dominated by and haven't created a system which can develop virtuous citizens instead. That's what real civilization would be but it's not the kind of societies we are living in today. We are living in societies based on designs by the narcissistic overlords of yesteryear. These systems are designed to promote narcissistic traits in citizens living in them and we see this taking place all around us. We are mass producing narcissists and have been doing so for decades. Unfortunately, as someone else alluded to, violence or a major epidemic is the only thing which can turn around this sort of development on such a scale.

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Empowering women without actual nuance. We should empower women, but not indoctrinate them. Should never convince women we are equals.

And through shaming.

Toxic Masculinity is all masculinity.

This is all bullshyt.

A convict doesn't give a damn about toxic masculinity or shaming, he takes what he wants.

Maybe men need to grow some nuts and stop letting society control them.

 

[LiveFromLondon]

There was a time when 12 year old Black boys had the same daily responsibilities of a full grown man(such as driving, operating heavy equipment, hunting, etc.) and didn’t shed a tear.

Yeah in those times they had to 'check in' because thats all there was, but now young nikkas have too many vices that they don't have to 'check in' and be boxed in to follow a certain path. For the most they're actually productive with their time and aren't too flustered about getting any, like proceeding generations.

It’s coming.

Once these dudes watched all the porn they can, seen ever new shyt show, smoked all the legal weed, had enough empty emotional less sex with a legal prostitute, complete another gta game, sat through another avengers movie and nothing new on the horizon to mental consume for escapism and there lives are only getting worse we end up with a society of men with nothing to lose .

 

[K.Y.R.I.E]

but if a man puts in 40 hours a week, he has paid his dues to society and should be able to afford to have a family and be respected is all I'm saying.

This right here but a lot of people will say just get a better job if you want to be paid more .. typical pull yourself up by your bootstraps bs

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

We need to stop talking about "men" like we're all the same.

Black American men have had to deal with bullshyt since 1619. That's a REAL struggle where we've made progress in some ways and fallen behind in other ways.

What these talking heads are discussing isn't relevant to BLACK MEN.....when they say "men", they mean white boys who have been spoiled and have zero giddyup about them.

The white BOYS have fallen behind the white women because they're used to being slackers and bullshytting their way to a nice house, decent looking wife and a good job. They gotta scrap and get it out the mud like everyone else. Rather than doing that and pulling themselves up by their bootstraps.....they are having a temper tantrum. They want to Handmaid's Tale the system and drag everyone DOWN to their level. They don't want to level up and compete....they want everyone else kneecapped and the laws adjusted to give them more of a structural advantage than they already have.

Anyone disagreeing with me is an agent/ofay infiltrating this site with right wing propaganda.

I mean are we putting qualifiers on that or are we talking any old job?

Young people got:
- Computers in their pockets.
- Access to YouTube and education about nearly any topic.

Figure that shyt out, honestly. You’re getting smoked by people in poor countries who are taking advantage of modern technology using nothing but their brains, paper and a pencil.

There’s a 5% chance that you were born in America and people complaining.

Stop being spoiled.

“But the luckiest day in my life is the day I was born, because I was born in the United States. At that time, about 3% of all births in the world were taking place in the United States. I was just lucky, and I was lucky to be born white, among other things."

they don't really give a fukk in my opinion, just another topic/subject to further their agenda's

both sides only use young men and their issues as cannon fodder for attacking each other. Neither sides care.

The right sells dreams of Christian nationalist Trad Con societies that make zero fukking sense and the Left simply want men to be gynocratic slaves.

Ultimately both sides simply need young men to be cannon fodder to fuel the system they want

None of this talk has helped and it continues to just drive people the other way.

So you're saying young black men have not checked out? Is that what you're stating?
