Thank you Bjorn! As a 28 year old man. I am struggling to find my purpose and struggling with what I want in life.. I work a nice job in the IT sector as account management. I am ambitious but I am super stressed and I think it is due to my uncertainty from my lack of decision making power(regarding life). I always have been a hard worker and it has gotten me far but I have always lacked a clear picure of my future.. I am working on that now. I am slowly realizing that growing up fatherless(my father died of cancer when I was 9) has some connection to my mental state.. My mother did an outstanding job raising me and my sister, working two jobs and devoted her life to us, and I never thought i was lacking in anything until I became 27-28 and I realised the weight of the world and what it means to be a man... And that I had no father to teach me such stuff and help me.

I was an orphan then grew up bouncing from childrens home to reform school to where ever there was a bed for me. At 17 I was emancipated and thrown out in this cruel world under my own devices. I am thankful as hell for it because I became my own man at a very young age. I became resourceful and independent. You're absolutely right about what people like us buy. I bought land, and tools, and very high quality materials. I invested in gold and silver to preserve my wealth. I am set up now and am hopefully leading my son by example. I could go on and on but all I really want to say here is that you've nailed it 100%.

[@thewildgoose7467]

I've been watching your videos for a while now Bjorn but I have to say that this is by far your best video yet. You hit the nail on the head with your thoughts regarding 'being your own man' Individuality is hated by governments because people who have their own thoughts and ideas are much more difficult to control, and collective control is what these people crave. For over two years now I have practiced at 'being my own man'. I have my own house and a small piece of land and owe no debts to anyone. I live my life close to nature. I grow some of my own food, and hope to become more self sufficient in the future. The most precious asset we have is freedom, yet a large proportion of western society appear quite happy to relinquish their freedom without a thought. They don't realise how hard fought that freedom was to achieve by our ancestors and are willing to simply toss it away through their apathy. People need to wake up and stop allowing themselves to become sheep. The world needs more wolves.

@Jin Lee absolutely I tend to believe we set the bar in our own lives at to how far we can go. You get out of it, what you put into it. If one stats stagnating in a pool of pittie then as the goes by it stays the same. Once one makes the effort to get up and do something positive to make it happen for them it slowly gets better. No one is gonna hand it to them or give you anything. You have to be steadfast and keep focused. In this type of situation comprising for your goals will only comprises you. Never let your circumstances predict the outcome of your situation. No one has to like anyone but they should respect you and your cause. If they aren't there helping you to become better then their just in your way to achievement and success. It all starts with you, me, the individual and how far one is willing to go to be themselves and get to where they need to be in their own life. We only get one life so why not live it to the up most best life we can live. It's not the mountains we face in life. There's always gonna be mountains and impossible situation and struggles, that's fact. It's the climb and the drive that fuels us to reach the top to overcome each mountain set before us.

Let me tell you a joke. CNN is a credible source of information

[@muffinland]

All American media is designed to generate profit. They will feed their consumers whatever it takes to keep their eyes glued and their minds blinded with outrage. CNN, FOX, NBC doesn't matter, all the same s**t just a different polish.

I grew up in a single mother household. Most of the men in my mother's family were either sheep or total degenerates, frequently drinking and using drugs, never bettering themselves or trying to get ahead. I did not want to end up like them. As a teenager, I learned how to "be a man" from watching westerns and reading translations of the Icelandic sagas. It may sound silly to people who grew up with a father, but these stories are what built my foundation for entering into manhood. I find that a lot of the lessons and values put forth in those stories are echoed strongly in Bjorn's videos. For those of you who are lucky enough to have a father with a mind like Bjorn's, make sure you tell them how much you appreciate them while you still can. I know that I would have gained a lot from this sort of wisdom and guidance had I had it as a kid.

Some day I want to be able to laugh about the state this world is in, just like you can. Im turning 18 in april and sadly I am not really looking forward to the planned out life that was given to me by the "ruling class".Im not going to stay where I live right now (Germany) and I plan to have a simple quiet life in a remote area of the earth, maybe a small village ( I havent really decided where but I still have plenty of time for that). There I want to create art, I really like to draw and I really like experimenting with music and of course listening to music. But I want to create this art for myself and maybe my art will be looked at someday by people and they will (hopefully) understand the pain of this situation we are all in. Thank you for showing me that I am not alone with my thoughts, I like you.

@@MrDuffy81 I think a government is necessary in order to maintain even a minimum level of civilization, but I would say the government which currently exists not only in Norway, but all of Scandinavia if not all of Europe, is well beyond saving at this point, and should be removed. Or as my founding fathers said, the tree of liberty must be watered with blood from time to time. Maybe it's just because I'm an American, and our military is more detached from the government to then are the military's of other nations, I think the support of the military would be a necessary components in any rebel uprising.

[@XJonAye]

@@1lobster The government in Europe doesn't even care for the safety of their citizens. They are more worried about increasing gdp and patting them selves on the back for All the good they do for the world, which in turn means giving their countrys away. Edit: I should say that I am American, but im aware of the situation in Europe, and I pray that the situation turns its self around.

I recently started reading Havamal. Every few days I like to go through it and refresh the teachings. It has opened my eyes to a few concepts that I was purposely ignoring in lofe. Like eating to your own detriment is a fool's mistake, and how it's foolish to ignore an old man's wisdom. But I think the biggest was about having your own home in this world. Something to call yours, even if it's 2 goats and a faulty roof, it's better to have a home of your own, cuz always needing others to get you through, will cause shame to eat away at your heart.

I've been having a lot of doubts about going fully through with being transgender (I'm an MtF). And this just sealed the deal for me. I want to be a man. The more and more I think about it the more I see that me being trans was a result of indoctrination. I never wanted to be a woman, I just was always taught being a man was a bad thing. This is the first video I've ever seen by you but already I think I'll stick around. I want to be what your ideal of a man is. I want to be my own man and my own person. Thank you sir. You've finally helped me break free of the shackles that bind me.

[@nickuk911]

When i was at school which was only 20 years ago i don't recall anyone being trans and these newer terms such as non binary/gender fluid were not heard of. It's just not logical to me that 20 years on we have this trans/non binary/gender neutral epedemic. I have heard that chemicals in things like energy drinks are capable of altering this kind of thing "gender bending chemicals". What do you think? I'm not being disrespectful i just am trying to understand
