But dating nowadays is not that how it was 15-20 years ago. I remember reading that some women said "They will only date men who will earn over 150,000$ per month"...wtf...

I think that is becoming more normal sadly. If it were not true, nobody poor would marry or date and that happens daily. Everyone talks about the "good old days"... until they have to give up the internet, their car, and their favorite fast food restaurant. But the issue is more that people, even men, are playing The Victim Olympics and think if something negative comes out about their lives currently, it negates everyone else and we should ignore others who have mental health or societal problems. Seems like most people have a severe case of main character syndrome. I think if a person has symptoms of depression (as it seems from this video), then they need to see a therapist.

When he talks about the jobs, Two points: 1. People can't find jobs because they aren't taking the jobs that don't pay them enough for their life. 2. Jobs can't find people because the job they're offering is actually 2 or more jobs in one

[@didgeridonot]

Also many jobs are so grossly focused on academics (i say this with a masters) that it's closing doors for otherwise teachable people who would do well without needing a degree. Overall men are not succeeding in or attending college at the rate women are. Physical jobs typically taken by men with no education requirement are becoming more scarce especially as technology improves, leaving men with more limited ways to make a good living

[@Guroji]

@didgeridonot couldn't agree more, having OJT instead on learning in school can work in most places. Sure, the initial quality of job entrants will be low, but it gives the opportunity for men(and women) to try multiple things first instead of locking into a for year degree. This could also benefit the company because they could train ground up men that decide they like the field they chose This also provides a sense of accomplishment, journey and fulfillment for man. It world be something akin to a trades job apprenticeship but applicable to any job field

[@didgeridonot]

@Guroji there will always be some jobs where formal education is critical. But now they hardly want you to work at a retail store without a degree. I only have a masters of science because my career requires it. Thankfully I had enough privilege to go and proper support. Even if you wanted the degree to get into a field many can't bc of the insane time internships take out of your schedule and limit your ability to work. I think education needs to basically blow up until things get better. An educated society is great for everyone, but the cost to outcome ratio is so bad that it's more like indentured servitude than is opening doors And with companies increasing profit year after year by providing the bare support, they aren't willing to spend time and money to train candidates. They just want to complain that "no one wants to work"

Working 45 hours a week, with a depressed mother and an absent father, I have no time for anything. I drive 40 minutes to help my mother with chores around the house and try to support her. My mom and dad used to hit me as a child, and now I'm the one supporting them. Oh, and let’s not forget the high rent, with no money left at the end of the month. Life is really great right now. People tell me I'm apathetic, but maybe I'm apathetic because thinking about my emotions just kind of sucks. Sorry, just needed to rent a little. EDIT: I didn’t expect such nice words from you, bros. But maybe I came off a bit one-sided. I was honestly a pretty bad son during my teenage years-partying every weekend, not helping my father with the house, playing video games most of the time, and not really focusing on school. My mom had a rough marriage with my dad, and I think that’s when her depression started. It got a lot worse after her two dogs passed away, and now she doesn’t really leave the house anymore. So yeah, I’m definitely going to stay and keep helping her, even though I sometimes feel like I could be doing more, but I just don’t know how. I’m convinced that talking to someone about my problems would help me tremendously, but I just can’t bring myself to ask for help or open up to people. The two times I tried, it didn’t really end well (they were my last two girlfriends). I’m not suicidal or depressed; I actually enjoy my time at my PC, watching KZbin to shut my brain off, or working out. So thanks again for the kind words, and keep grinding, boys.

Pre watch hot take: There are two kinds of power. Hard power and soft power. Soft power is the 72 year old lady that runs the HOA. She has a ton of power and authority to impact your life. Hard power is beating someone to death. Soft power only works as long as people believe in the system. To believe in the system you have to benefit from the system. Young men are not benefiting. Also, young men have a near complete monopoly on hard power. If you want to know what a country will do in the near future, look at what the young men of that country want. The government can either use their soft power to give them a bit of what they want, or the young men will take what they want with their hard power.

The problem isn't as simple as "higher taxes every year" it's BAD taxes that are also placed on the wrong group of people. The social security tax for example is regressive and it's not avoidable until you make over 2 million dollars a year. This tax syphons money from the largest (population wise) income group, people making less than 100,000/year, but yet it doesn't yield the value it takes out in return. So we have essentially a tax on people who can't afford it being given less in return than they paid for that tax, but it benefits those who are wealthy by subsidizing the health industry and allowing shareholders to increase wealth.. Then, we have corporate taxes being cut from a progressive structure to a flat tax, if it's not obvious this doesn't yield benefits to small-medium business, it also doesn't give better wages or better prices on products because the companies would rather pocket the difference to post better earnings. And why shouldn't they? If you have an industry motivated by profit you're going to maximize this profit, but it's the governments job to make sure this is done in a way where it is better for society, and they aren't doing that. I could go on, but this is the natural result of policy that is based on short-termism and political grandstanding instead of logic and reason. Trump's tax cuts, like the bush tax cuts, both created a speed run for the richest among us to increase their wealth while the burden was on the poorest among us.

I'm 41 and finally realized I've been strung along like an idiot my whole life. So yeah, I feel bad for the young dudes and don't blame them for giving up. Especially with women. A little advice guys, never get married,d don't have kids and do what you love. No matter what. Every problem or drama in my life was directly tied to a woman I. One way or another. Monk mode and get your bag.

Or perhaps you just have a problem with women and are unable to work through that.

Asmon: society has improved in a lot of ways Reality: society is literally rapidly collapsing

[@AminaTorsdotter]

He has insulated himself from the consequences of modern society. Good for him. I seem to remember saying similar things when I didn't have to worry about money or heat.

[@LiboJ]

Overall society has gotten better, the world has got many great people and amazing tech. The problem is all the rotten apples. Drama sells. Many of those who want to make a real impact never get recognized or get 'silenced.

[@darkultra9605]

​@LiboJ The world has always had amazing people. The only difference is the new technology as you've stated. Advanced technology doesn't make a happy society.

[@darkultra9605]

​@@AminaTorsdotterI'm extremely shut off from most of society as well. The only difference is that I apparently see reality more clearly than him.

@@darkultra9605 I understand were you are coming from but I'm looking at this hypothetically. *Amazing Tech + Everyone is Good Hearted* is Technically Better Than *Less Tech + Everyone is Good Hearted*

"If that hawk-tuah girl wasn't conventionally attractive, we wouldn't even know her name." Mean while, we're all on here calling her hawk-tuah girl because we don't know her name. LOL

[@Grimfist66]

Yet her bank account, off her 15 minutes of fame, is probably close to a decade of your yearly income. Don't gotta know her name. Hawk-Tuah is her gimmick. And she's capitalizing.

[@StateAlchemist7]

@@Grimfist66 Also, if Google is correct, she's worth $200-$300 K, that would mean she earned what I make in 1.5-2 years in 15 minutes of fame. And I'm not hating on her for that, so I don't understand the point of your comment.

[@CoachForsyth]

I coach MMA and this morning after practice many of the young men stayed behind to talk. I was shocked at how bleak their collective outlook on life is, all of them have to work two jobs just to get by, they said they cannot even afford to fix their cars if they break down. They pointed me to your channel, and this video. WTH is going to happen to our collective future if we do not help these young men out...

im sorry but what you're describing is not a men's issue? it's a human issue. there are plenty of single moms raising their kids working 3 minimum wage jobs to just barely get by, and no one has EVER cared about them.

I think a huge problem with our societal issues is that we tend to steer too far in over-correction and we are just constantly swinging from one extreme to the other. We never try to find balance.
