Need to make it harder for them to rot. I shouldn't have to subsidize their existence - useless.

What good does it do to work to get money for women when women can simply show bobs and vagene online and make your entire yearly salary in a month?

We have been going through the demoralization phase for decades. It was intentional and is bearing fruit.

Freedom of speech is a principle pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved and tyranny is erected on its ruins.

Most professional jobs don't pay enough for the work anymore.

42k a year was ok in 2010. Now 42k a year in 2022 is like 32k in 2010. Not nearly enough to put up with any job that has deadlines and stress for that compensation.

I went from 100k a year to a job that was 60k a year. Lost it due to vax mandate. I've had 3 jobs this year that paid 42k a year and I quit all of them. I can go work in a warehouse mindlessly for $1/hour less.

Good bye project coordinator role. Good bye inventory coordinator role.

Funny thing is each of these jobs are on their 3rd employee in the role in a year. The one I currently have that I'm quitting has had 2 others quit it this year. Dunno why they offered me 42k when its not enough to keep me. They lost two others in one year LMAO.

Good points, at lower salary you can find random jobs that have downtime, and side hustle on the down time, or just save energy. working hard for 30k is dumb unless you have opportunity to quickly move up.

don't know why you took the job in the first place though.

Just took what fell into my lap. And what I received is kind of like a low quality tinder hookup. No effort to get. Not worth keeping. Leaves you feeling depressed but it was a short term distraction.

Lol at all the jealousy here.

I've worked from home since pre covid. Before I moved to the sticks, I lived in a gated community in West Palm. Neighbors to my right were 10 years younger than me. She did fukk all, and he has some YouTube and ebay hustle.

Neighbors to my left and across the street were retired boomers.

Was day drinking with ebay neighbor in my driveway at noon on a Monday, and boomer neighbors came by to chat. Were bewildered we didn't have "real jobs", and owned $300k houses outright at half their age.
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

Yikes this sounds like a movement where the endgame is living back at home with your parents until you can make a living online on YouTube or sloot it up on Onlyfans. Society is fukked.

Why wouldn't they? First of all the parents didn't parent kids. The boomers/gen x failed society by not raising the next generation. They sent them to daycares, gave them social media/iphones/ipads to keep themselves busy, and then let schools raise them via propaganda and insanity.

Next you have the financial situation. All the boomers bought their houses for like 80k and now they're worth 400-500k that these new generations can't afford. Now most boomers are hanging on for dear life for their last years of their jobs making all the money and getting their pensions/retirement set and not allowing other generations to progress in their jobs.

Now mix that with high inflation and an economy that makes zero logical sense. Wages are stagnant, inflation via COL is skyrocketing still, they can't afford housing, and then let's get to the fun part in all of this......

When you see someone like SBF steal billions of dollars and political/financial leaders do high level banking crimes, insider trading and financial fraud with zero consequence, most guys are ready to clock out. Guys are coming out of college with little job security, not high enough wages, with tons of student loan debt, and then expected to attract a women to mate with?

Why would a young male that is taught he is toxic to this world, where females/gays are paraded around while men are shunned and degraded, where the economy is left in shambles because of past generations greed and mismanagement, and then apply the societal and religious collapse of our nation that has a 70% divorce rate, little to no moral compass and a culture degrading into disgusting filth and people are surprised that young men are giving up on life that has NO PURPOSE.

Men need purpose...especially young men. No one is giving it to them. They weren't raised with purpose. No one ever taught them how to be a man or how to navigate life as a man. Boomers and gen x'ers failed their children. What the fuk do you expect from this generation? They were literally put in a position by their parents and school systems to be forced to wear masks for 8 hours a day and get vaxxed in order to participate in society because their parents failed them. Nothing makes sense socially, culturally, economically and people still expect them to clock in for 40k a year in a city for a souless job that mandates vaccines and some ******* cringe fuks on tik tok and youtube are making millions doing fuk all?

I want to rot/hobomaxx too.
get on welfare

around here its 950/mth
rent a furnished room with wifi 500$
cell phone plan 50$
food bout 350$

still have 50 bucks for dranks/smokes

than you can have a side huslte doing **** on the internet and not claim it on tax for extra money or sell stuff

if you can get in govment housing they only take 30% so it would only be bout 350/mth for 1 bedroom apartment, LOL. extra 150 for smokes/beers.

then you can really play the system by getting roommates who are also on welfare (this is what gangs/families do) and than rent becomes super cheap and even more for dranks and smokes.

or rent ****ty old houses/trailers, some even inherit

you can get a welfare GF but dont claim as a couple and then you got 1900 between you both per month. plenty to rent and just watch tv and smoke up all day. then once you start popping out babies its another 500/mth per kid.


this is basically how the welfies been living it up for a long time.

We need to go back to on the job training and tell universities to fuk off. Give men a job with the promise of a good wage after they are trained and they would be more likely to be motivated to work.

You can fuk off with blaming Gen X. We tried breaking the Boomer cycle, and most Millennials are a result of Boomers having kids late in life.

Gen Z, raised by X, is actually carrying on the fukk you, I'm doing me, tradition.

Its actually hilarious how this article frames it like Men just aren't what they used to be, they just don't care and it doesn't make sense. The reality is life and society is now what it used to be. You used to be able to work pretty much any old job and be able to support your stay at home wife and kids, buy a new house, a new car, all the food you need and have money to spend of entertainment and have money left over to sock away into investments that actually produced a return. Oh what it must have been like to be a boomer.

The list of people and events that lead to this point is huge. There are alot of factors. Boomers hoarding wealth, universities making chit up and being greedy kunts, goverment spending and corruption, corporate greed and corruption, manipulation of currency and certain economic markets by wealthy elites, fake wars. But I think once of the biggest accelerants in the absolute destruction of the west has been the goverment and medias reaction to covid. The lockdowns, the shutdowns, the handouts, the business closures, the supply chain issues, the brainwashing.

Covid has been the single worst thing to happen to the west in history. And not because of the disease itself which is nothing more than a common flu.
Once you remove the carrot, there is only the stick. Just wait and see what happens next.
For every man, there is a sentence, a string of words, that has the power to destroy him

I read the book by the dude op mentions in the original post..

He left out one key thing, that all miscers obviously know:

What is the goddamned point of working if no good pussy? No good pussy = no kids = no reason to work for a man.

Fukin author couldn’t say that though, too fukin based.
