its better to single and free... than a trapped indentured slave...

in 2021 we have soo much entertainment at hand...
its not like back in the day
where they only a radio and that was it
we dont need to get married anymore...

marriage has changed alot from before...
they would hold people accountable for their actions
now we have no fault divorce law which means
men lose so yea so **** getting married

live life how u want but if ur smart enough to know
love isnt forever
its just a cycle
u fall in love and than out of love
most men have fallen in love with 10+ women
love is not forever
than u will understand why giving your all
for a marriage is stupid
cause its bound to end
and unless ur the one cashing in
i wouldn't get married at all
Rip Nelson Enjoy heaven brah

Help me... Im being haunted!!!!

Far from alone. Pretty soon the majority of American adults will be single no kids when Gen Z grows up.

Birth rate will be like 0.5 per woman for Gen Z (reliance on dating apps with 95/5 rule, less social, most LGBT generation by far, disillusioned by high cost of living/no interest in pursuing 'American dream' white picket fence/McMansion etc.)

Mass immigration will be used to cover the deficit.

This is an obvious outcome of modern society. People are getting married later and divorced more frequently, so of course the "not living with partner" stat will increase.
no matter how you slice it, this is not good news dude.

bottom line: there are fewer and fewer kids growing up in 2 parent stable households, to the point this is the minority. this isBAD.

you CANNOT have aTHRIVINGsociety like this.

^this.

we can survive for now, but this society (or any other) won't thrive with no kids growing up in stable households.

this liberated sexual freedom Western lifestyle is literally worse than getting hit by multiple nukes and SuperCovidEbola combined. Literally half the population is gonna get wiped out from these low birth rates in one generation. Half of your people gone just like that.


That's why Xi is trying so hard to reverse some of the Westernization of China's youth (byproduct of their modernization/development). He sees what's going on to the West and knows you can't sustain a thriving society like this.

IMO you can have complete sexual liberation of women.... or you can have a strong, lasting, thriving society.

But you can't have both (srs).

Need religion as a sloot shaming mechanism, get rid of 'casual dating' culture which is just wasting time and only allow short purposeful dating leading to marriage, etc.

Basically...just go back to what worked lol.

I'm not even religious right now (so I'm a hypocrite saying this)...but the older I get, the more I realize...weNEEDreligion as a society. Even if you don't believe the scriptures, I mean just pragmatically as a code of conduct for all people in society to follow, it got the job done. It's better than the atheistic celebrity/thot worship culture we have today.

But they do it at the tip of a gun. They will throw your ass in jail if your kid ****s up. Is THAT really the best way? This is why the pendulum swings are causing society to wobble. There is such a thing as over-correction. Just like the woke **** is a vast over-correction to the religious right bull**** of the past. It's just another brand of lunacy.

The destruction and demoralization of the US has been a long and highly-organized process.

In 1971 the World Economic Forum was formed by Schwab, Kissinger, and Soros; three months later they allied with the Communist Party of China and ended the embargo against China, and the many many plans and groundwork for the Great Reset of 2020-2030 were began.

one of many of which is the methodical destruction of family values along with all other forms of demoralization possible

Tip of the gun versus cancel culture here in the USA. Both are political intimidation tools used by politicians in power for speaking out against cultural approved "norms".

The difference is one aids a country the other destroys it.

Just came across a discussion with Jordan Peterson that said women who want to get married in their 30s is up by 50%, but men who want to stay single is up too.

Several years ago he stated the same thing happened in Scandinavia when they attempted to push quality of outcome on to women. He tried to warn us then what we are finding out now; equality of outcome is bad.

Women are pursuing more leadership roles, and careers dominated by men, but at the same time they don’t seem to be finding as much meaning in it and are having more of a desire to pursue their roles as mothers and wives now. unfortunately, as men get pushed out of these roles typically held by men, and being “emasculated”, it’s having a negative affect on them.

Quality of outcome always leads to an undesired, unintended, and opposite effect and what it was seeking out to accomplish. This is what social constructionism does.

Ayn Rand write articles about this in the 80s. She stated that eventually women would not be happy being in certain roles and influence them to gravitate back to motherhood and marriage.

The stuff is biblical too. Say what you will, but there is a lot of truth in the Bible and not to go against “God’s will“, which are deeply embedded in our souls and being

Throughout history we see interesting patterns in women as well. If you look at careers and childbearing, comes and goes in waves. When they strive for careers, they do very well, but then there is a wave back to childbirth and motherhood. For instance, in the late 1800s women took up being professors at universities and put off motherhood. Shortly after, it was followed by a spike in childbirth.

So completely stripping away what rights remain would aid us? I hope you're joking. Cancel culture should be fought back against, but not by giving the government total ****ing power to kill or imprison anyone they wish. Jesus ****ing christ lol.

Jordan Peterson is smart when it comes to talking about mans responsibilities but becomes a total retard when its time to hold women accountable.

Have you not realized our rights have basically been stripped from us already? We gave government too much power and now every government agency is working against the people who oppose those who gave them that much power in the first place.

How have you not seen this? I am utterly amazed that you think there is still freedom in the USA while cancel culture exists.

Don't be naive. China is going to take over regardless of what we post on misc lol. You can thank diversity hiring and feminism for that. Plus I sure as hell wouldn't fight for our side and that number is growing.

The US army is going to resemble the twink soy army of Afgan before the Taliban raped them

Yes I am aware it is happening - so your solution is to go full on totalitarian mode? Execute all those who dare to speak against the government? That's what we should be fighting, not encouraging. It's EXACTLY what leftist governments trend into. We DO NOT want to end up like china and that is the pit of hell leftists are trying to drag us into.

Look at it this way - we can still discuss a lot of ****, write about whatever we want, and as long as we're not making death threats we won't end up in jail. You are advocating bullets in the brain for all of those things. You say we gave the government too much power and then in the same breath you want to emulate china. Do you even realize what you are saying?
