It's also a lot better than it used to be in other ways...
That's the real problem, it's too easy. I don't think these little ****ers would have survived my life if they can't hack it on easy street.

Financial stability and good job - harder
Relationships, marriage kids, - harder
Friends, community, connection - harder
Home ownership - harder
Education - way more expensive, so harder

Relationships, marriage kids - So you no longer need to get married at 22, and start making children? Just LOL at miscers that complain about this. Once you see what it's like to own a home, have a committed partner, and have a child, you'll realize how booked your time is throughout the day. Miscers get excited to be gaming at 30; but imagine the amount of free time you have once that is all settled.
Friends, community, connection - This hasn't changed much, as it affects every generation. The community/connection is because our generation refuses to do anything outside of social media/technology.
Home ownership - Harder due to inflation, I will give you that. However, please review "relationships, marriage, kids" for the same response.
Education - Increased cost due to inflation, I will give you that. However, it now expands the opportunities you have more than ever before. You joke that people back in the day didn't even need an education, but many couldn't afford it. Their life was decided once they graduated high school (if that).
---
Home ownership is the only complaint imho that can be impacted here, as it's definitely a lot harder than it was before. Yet, even boomers agree with this also (as they need to support their families more).

People used to be married to high school sweethearts with a good job and a house by 30 at the latest. You can't honestly say we're better off now

The main reason for depression and nihilism right now is too many people are alone with nothing meaningful to do or care about.
I'm an incel. The next 50 years of my life if I live that long will be wage slaving, Netflix and video games.
Is that a future with any meaning? No.
Having a relationships and a family and community is what makes a big difference

These are massively, complicated societal trends that aren't simple to solve.
But we need to at least acknowledge there are problems. Half the people itt don't even agree on that.

The only thing you can control in this world is yourself. Once you realize that, it's kind of life changing.

So no one seems to have figure out that what you eat has a direct impact on your mental health. Nutritional deficiency in mineral has a major impact on your health and microbiome.
Key to a great body : a great diet with enough proteins, lot of sleep, not buying tons of supplements, proper form and dedication
3 Must have supplements : High-quality whey isolate, Multivitamins and Creatine

Whether you like it or not, environment is a massive factor when it comes to how people live their lives. Combine that with all the societal problems people have already mentioned and you could end up in a no win situation.
It takes two to tango in relationships just in case you didn't know. What do you do when majority of girls around you are hypergamous, immoral clout chasers? You just gonna marry them and suck it up knowing there's a 95% chance of divorce?
Inb4 "just find a good girl." If it was that easy we would've found one already.

Not too surprised. The whole pandemic thing. Have to wear a mask because the air is toxic and the people around you are sick. You might be committing mass murder and illness just going to the grocery store. Believing we live in a more messed up world than ever with people being oppressed and believing that nazi's are taking over. Meanwhile being afraid of anything you say being used against you in a court of public opinion in a cancel culture.
You can see it in the maskers who are still practicing social distancing and wearing masks. You can see it in their face. The paranoia and fear.

You can't just tell eveey individual person to go get a job..the definition of a recession is there are bigger factors impacting everyone.
Same with a lot of these issues like modern dating. There's a reason the red pill has gone mainstream.

I wouldn't go to war just to preserve life as an incel wage slave
Also I stopped height fraud, which made my online matches go to zero. Deleted the apps and now I have nothing to work with. Iying at least got me in front of people

He’s saying that it’s down to you to make the most of things as they are. You gotta work with whatever the reality of your situation is.
