Social media did not cause this. This was caused by The American way of life itself. Blaming social media is a huge cop out in order to avoid the conclusion that individualism, democracy, and capitalism are not appropriate methods of running a society. Social media is a tool and is not inherently bad or good.

bad people will use social media in a bad way
good people will use social media in a good way

Now why are American people bad? Because our way of life makes them that way. Let's not pretend that building a society based on a bunch of foreigners moving here to make money off each other is a great way to build social cohesion.

People who don't know history got deluded into believing a middle class is natural or normal. It's not. By the historical norms, only 10-20% of people were merchants, tradesmen, warriors, etc...i.e. middle class.

It's totally normal for 50+% of any country's country to be born at the bottom of the societal pyramid with few if any opportunities to rise from that station.

Keep in mind, the guy in the first video is still living a better life than was possible at any time in history. He has access to TV, internet, birth control, medical care, public education, air conditioning and heat, cars and public transportation, cheap and plentiful food.
This. These people have always existed. People that expect to be handed chit just for existing. People that lack the drive/balls to create something for themselves are always going to be miserable

These responses display the type of attitude that has allowed societal rot to fester. It comes from the jew mindset that money= ultimate goal of life, which is wrong to anyone other than a jew.

Just because people have cell phones, plumbing and medical care today does not mean that their lives are better than that of some people 200 years ago. Those people 200 years ago had a community of family and friends that they shared life fulfilling experiences with. They had wives and huge families (not settled for washed up whores like you cucks do). A world where people could afford the essentials of life and also actually enjoy their lives as a member of a strong, wholesome, and healthy community.

This is something that is totally missing from life today in America, and it doesn't matter how much money someone has that won't change a thing. Why don't you cucks explain why despite facing "war, famine, and disease" or not having a cell phone people never committed suicide 300 years ago? Life must have been alot better back then than it is now because our suicide rate today is HIGH. What does that tell you?

Money isn't what the goal of life is. There has never been a more sick, mentally ill, depressed, and demoralized group of humans than there is today in the west, and that is despite all the supposed wealth and "comforts" people have.

Serfs and peasants had a much lower suicide rate than the so called rich people of America today, wanna explain that Jacky chin?

Once again you people make the mistake of thinking money/technology = quality of life. Quality of life is much more poor today for everyone despite how much money they make.

Meh....my life is just fine. I'm a simple person and I'm pretty happy where I've gotten in life. There's always going to be the grass is greener on the other side of the fence people who will never be happy. They just have a digital soapbox now. And lol at some bullchit claim of suicide rates of peasants and serfs.......you really think something like was tracked back then?

It seems like you want to just ignore the very real societal problems we have today and pretend like everything is fine!

Let's see how that continues to work out for us?

Also, funny how you assume that I talk of these things because they represent my life, which illuminates the very self centered/selfish mindset that you have. Is it incomprehensible to you that someone who does live a good life can acknowledge and accept that things are going terribly wrong for the majority of youth in America?

What exactly is better today than it was a few decades ago besides a shiny new cell phone, the internet and diabetes medicine? What? that Kids can jerk off to 4K tranny porn? That you can find a random girl to swallow your load after knowing her for less than 1 hour?

What about the people who are increasingly being left out of the joys of life? What is going to happen to this ever growing population of people? Happy families are not as common as they used to be, and you know you can't dispute that. it's trending worse and worse. Probably more broken homes and single moms today than organic happy families. And imagine the % of organic families that don't have to deal with LGBT/tranny/slutty daughter/cheating/tragedy ... even less.

Why do you refuse to acknowledge that we live in a SICK world?

1. The economic situation is certainly grim for them, they aren't gonna be able to afford what the boomers did

2. At a certain age, you are entirely your own responsibility. These kids melted their brains with social media and tik tok, that's their own fault.

You are your own responsibility, but whose fault is it if these people were never given/taught the skills needed to be able to manage life? How can you blame an individual who never received the guidance they needed? Can people grow up to be successful with poor or non-existent guidance/direction/training?

Your blaming kids for using tik Tok and social media? Your solution is blame kids for the world that they were brought up in? Who created that world btw?

who cares. worry about your own life.

society is veyr conforting and relaxing now for people. No wars, no starvation, no civil conflict, no poverty. So some guys can't get laid, big deal. They got pron and WEF doesn't want people having kids anwyays.

Let them play video games and obsess over model cams until it's time to take them out via MAID
Weight Loss: Go carnivore or keto/low carb. Create calorie deficit. Buy packaged healthy meals if needed. Meat is good and heals, stop being lied to.

The internet seems to have somehow skewed reality and peoples thinking.

There was never a time when a 23 year old was flush with money and had a good job with tons of money and all sorts of women and the like.

Maybe like .1% of people had that life and you would be envious of it.

People nowadays think if they arent travelling the world in first class luxury by their mid 20's that life somehow has **** on them and they were dealt a bad hand.

Thats just not the case. You have to work hard to get ahead in life and that takes in most cases years and years of hard work, long hours, seemingly endless sacrifice without ever getting a glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel until you are almost there.
"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda

sure thing, the family, society, and communities have never been more healthy than they're today ! Things have been progressing nicely if it wasn't for the darn internet today people would realize just how good we have it!

What pathetic cope you have that falls apart at the slightest use of common sense and logic. Imagine thinking that things have always been the same and nothing changes, ever!

You're crying over 1st world imagined problems. This is what happens when a generation grows up in comfort with no real adversity to face, it produces weak emotional people like you

Incel/NEET culture is definitely not an imagined problem. A lot of men are opting out, and that's good for no one. It pushes us even further towards gynocentric supremacy (if we're not already there). Look how many activists are women these days - almost all of them. Most of the decisions are being made by women at every level. Open borders, refugees welcome, LGBT ideology, anti-whiteness, etc. The only reason these ideas are dominating society is because men are too cucked to do anything about it.

Weak/absent men = societal suicide

Exactly. People like him bitch & moan about the life they don’t have but “deserve” while simultaneously never making any effort to make things better for themselves, surely posting on random Internet forums all day will change that though. These people are the world’s cucks.

People nowadays think if they arent travelling the world in first class luxury by their mid 20's that life somehow has **** on them and they were dealt a bad hand.

Thats just not the case. You have to work hard to get ahead in life and that takes in most cases years and years of hard work, long hours, seemingly endless sacrifice without ever getting a glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel until you are almost there.

it's keeping up with the joneses taken to the next level. viewing celebrity and bitcoin millionaires' highlight reels of their life isn't going to set up you for feeling good about your own. Many people struggle through their entire life. Many can never comfortably retire. The fact dude has the time to film this video says that he has time to improve his situation.

We all get down on ourselves, we all get envious at times. But wallowing in despair about it doesn't help yourself or anyone else. It's okay to acknowledge those feelings, it's not okay to use them as an excuse to waste away.

That's not to say the opting out phenomenon isn't a problem...but it's an internal one. You can't motivate people to be better, work harder, etc., they have to do that themselves.

People who don't know history got deluded into believing a middle class is natural or normal. It's not. By the historical norms, only 10-20% of people were merchants, tradesmen, warriors, etc...i.e. middle class.

It's totally normal for 50+% of any country's country to be born at the bottom of the societal pyramid with few if any opportunities to rise from that station.

Keep in mind, the guy in the first video is still living a better life than was possible at any time in history. He has access to TV, internet, birth control, medical care, public education, air conditioning and heat, cars and public transportation, cheap and plentiful food.

So society has no problems and everything is all going in the right direction?

You clowns have all the evidence in front of you but still can't see the reality. You just aren't smart enough I guess.

Sad!

I'm not bitching about my life you loser, I'm pointing out a growing problem in society. One that you seem happy to ignore. Not everything is about YOU, some of us who are a little more closer to god think of others not just ourselves. But you have the devil in you.
