lol Since you apparently remember all of this so well, explain how you looked at a baby and thought "life is meaningless." Also, how many times did this happen? Interestingly, using the popular lingo on this forum ("dat dere") in order to fit in seems to hold some meaning for you.



lmao So all these girls are sleeping with the same group of men. Yeah, that sounds really believable.

I don't care.

Lots of valid points in this thread...


Personally I believe a huge part of it is a lack of GENUINE human connections. Thats just my opinion. I can't speak for how it used to be because I wasn't alive, but finding truly genuine people seems to be rare as fuk nowadays.

The most important thing in life is relationships. With family, friends, significant others, etc.


And there aren't many healthy relationships nowadays from what I see. Everybody just using each other, pretending to be somebody they aren't, etc.

I completely agree brah. We're on this earth to reproduce, make a family, converse with others. We're social creatures, not social media creatures.

were working harder than ever for the smallest amounts of money and cant even pay the bills..

and on top of that.. its impossbile to get laid!

Just for you apparently. None of my friends have had any issues getting girlfriends/getting laid. This seems to be a misc thing. Getting laid is easier than ever in 2016 than at any point in history

Instagram and feminism have made women more arrogant, stuck up and difficult than ever

Job market is more competitive than ever

Social cohesion in the west is at its lowest

The media toys with people more than ever

School is more expensive than ever

Social media paints a unrealistic picture of what life is like for people and causes depression because all people post on social media is their life's highlights

The political atmosphere in the west is very unpromising. Worst election in American history. The U.K. Just left the EU.

Rent is more expensive than ever

The entire landscape of relationships has changed. We've all heard the old saying "humans are social creatures". So obviously when you change the way we interact socially it has a big ripple effect.

Spontaneous social interaction is often frowned upon and met with contempt meaning that socializing has become a thing limited to a very small number of places and occasions. People have a harder time meeting and feeling safe and comfortable talking to people. They will not put themselves out there as much because society has shunned it.

Gender roles have left everyone confused and lost. Women no longer value femininity - a trait that men wildly desire. Rather, they seek to prove to the world how "strong" they are but this often comes from the wrong place. It stems from narcissism, insecurity, hatred and pent up rage. This leads to them doing things with the mindset of having to put men down in order to raise themselves up. Instead of showing the world how strong, smart, and capable they can be, they may try to show how incompetent, silly, and foolish men are.

This has left men feeling shamed for being masculine. Feeling guilty for being a man. They may become white knights or beta male SJWs to win validation from nastry women. Men can no longer express masculinity through approaching women, being assertive, showing feelings, expressing thoughts, etc. Society will shame them.

Social media has taken everybody out of the present moment. Lingering in the back of everyone's mind is "where should I eat to get the best instagram photo", "dam should have snap chatted that", "wait let me get this on camera", "hey say that again for my snapchat", etc. Actions in life are dictated by how they will be perceived on social media and how it will in turn affect their status and projected lifestyle image.

The realm of dating has been reduced to a superficial pick and choose game where women hold all the power. They have too many options. Choice overload causes their standards to become too high and their selections too small. In what world can you know somebody's favorite movie, book, age, height, weight, school, job, etc before you even meet them? I can meet a stranger right now and get along with them. But wait, when I find out they don't like the same music as me we're not going to be cool anymore, right? No. It doesn't work like that and it's silly to screen for things like that. Anyone can come up with a list of arbitrary traits and qualities they seek in a partner. The fact of the matter is that until you actually meet somebody all of that crap on the list is useless. How you vibe with somebody has little to do with such arbitrary standards. And in fact, oddly enough when you actually meet somebody who you like and feel a connection with, what you'll probably find is that you don't like them for the reasons on your stupid list. The reasons you like them are often abstract. Words can't even describe it. It's afeeling.

Work-life culture is in ruin. People spend 20+ years in school only to spend the majority of their waking life for the next 40+ years slaving away. School isn't even about higher education anymore it's about creating workers and teaching skills that are useful to commercial society. Technology and the rise of machinery has only contributed more to the isolation and loneliness that we feel today. Machines now pulsate with life while man has become a robot, model 9T05. Then when it's all over we finally get our 2 week vacation period! Yay! After slaving for 50 weeks I get 2 weeks off! Thanks boss! Our best days, most productive and energetic hours are spent in slavery. There is little time for ourselves. No energy for thought and no place for creativity, relaxation or expression. Every chore is crammed into what time we have left. Society has parted from man.

Because people are weak minded and lazy. They think the deserve the world when in reality they deserve nothing, and they are fairly worthless in the grand scheme of things. IE if you drop dead right now nothing changes or is affected. Your life does not matter to anyone outside of friends/family. You deserve nothing. You are entitled to nothing. People spend their time chasing menial pleasures/amusements instead of doing anything productive. Then they wonder why they are a fukking loser and have nothing to show for themselves. Biggest problem is people have lived too easy of a life. Life is so easy people have problems like eating too much food. Being depressed. Feeling inadequate because they don't meet social standards, etc.

Human beings are animals. Animals do not do well when they have everything handed to them and they don't have to struggle/strive for survival.


In short. Life is too easy. People have too much free time.

It's because the bullchit materialistic/consumistic ethos that was fabricated in the 80s to give political justification to the brutal regression of equality policies and workers rights has finally shown its ugly face when the crisis hit.

From another perspective (but actually the same) it's because the generation of eternal mememes and menchildren who ruled the world from the 60s to today is finally dying and they can't die fast enough.
