When is it "Toxic" masculinity/feminity is like asking "when is a knife 'bad'?" The knife is a tool. It's APPLICATION that decides if it's "good/bad" "toxic or not"

[@NikRsmn]

I think masculinity would be the knife and toxic the descriptor. Not even us leftists would tell you making your family feel safe is a toxic trait. But not sharing troubles with your wife so you bare it alone until it erodes your confidence IS toxic. That doesn't mean you have to share every hang nail, but don't kill yourself trying to be atlas.

[@filthyfrankblack4067]

Just another box to separate people.

[@HTMLRu1ezD00d]

If you can’t give a flat definition that everyone as a collective agrees upon, then toxic masculinity doesn’t exist. If I do one thing, someone may not see it as toxic. Where someone else might. If that is the case, how am I ever suppose to do anything that wouldn’t be seen as toxic. The answer is you can’t. If you ask 20 people what toxic masculinity is you are going to get different answers. The word toxic is being tied to masculinity to give masculinity a negative stigma. That is the only purpose. If toxic masculinity exists, toxic femininity also must exist. Yet rarely ever gets talked about. Man bad, woman good propaganda.

Toxic masculinity is any expression of masculinity that does not support the female imperative.

If you took it all away you wouldn't want to live. Only reason I do is for my daughter, and I'm scared to death about the father I can't be to protect her in this world that she needs and I need. Probably me more than her. Even if you take the 20 year demographic between you guys, the 35 year olds grew up in a different world it's changed so much. And it is changing faster than we can even phantom at the moment. I'm only 7 mins in lol, I better hear the rest out. Hats off to you all for speaking on this subject. We need to bring back more traditional values, remind each other that we need a woman as much as they need us. We compliment each other, if the balance is right. And balance is so important. And this is what both men and women need. More discourse between generations because broken homes have caused so many issues. Generations have grown up without fathers.

Even if you disagree with Nick on every other topic, I don't know how anyone can listen to him talk about education and disagree. I went to school a long while ago now, and even then all his points held credence. I did abysmally in high school due to format and only graduated because I knew how to meet the lowest bar for getting a diploma. I was once told by an english teacher that I would be lucky to end up as the garbage man. I have since been highly successful in the usmc, college was straight A's with little effort, multiple professions from office work like real estate as well as field work as a helicopter pilot. Point is, public school with zero competition is a terrible system. There are good teachers in all of them but it is so rare per person that they universally like or at least respect more than half the teachers they had in public school that it is a net negative and needs serious overhaul.

Technically property taxes pay for schools and thats it. There are other municipal programs they sneak in there too. It doesnt even pay for roads, sidewalks, or utilities. Gas tax pays for roads and sidewalks. Utility bills pay for utility lines run under ground, specifically "delivery charges" on utilities pay for all the distribution infastructure.

[@CompassRoseGaming]

​@@rustyscrapperProperty Taxes , in our current fiat system, exist for the same reason other taxes exist; to remove money from public circulation. When the government wants to pay for services, they can print money. But without the ability to reduce the supply of money after that, you get inflation. Taxing is the easiest way to remove $ from the hands of people

[@vladimirofsvalbard9477]

Property taxes existing mean that there is no private land; it's all nationalized. So technically this is a semi-communist society if you think about it lol

[@HTMLRu1ezD00d]

Property tax should only be paid once upon paying for the property. The reason it is a tax that must be paid yearly separate from income is to force you into the system to where you must earn money in order to keep it. It is a generational wealth bleed; a way to keep you working and giving money back into the system rather than acquiring and keeping. This is supported by the fact that if you do not pay, you can be forced to lose the property. You are either losing wealth by paying into the system, or losing wealth by not being apart of the system.

Vikings, Roman’s, Islam, etc anarchy is great idea, except entirely ignores some peoples human nature of conquest, and greed. What usually stops these elements from doing these things is simply that they can’t. That it’s too hard, and/or too much penalty. You lose most of that protection under anarchy. You have no substantial community funding. You would just be a group of poor, weaklings that would get wrecked by individuals marauders alone. Not to mention powerful groups that do nothing but conquer. We’ve been there before, use your brain. There is a reason basically every single culture and group in the world ended up forming a government. And it’s because it’s actually safer.

Thank you so much for having Nick on your cast. Civic duty to know what it is your voting for, not that you vote. We were taught in school(when dinosaurs roamed the earth) that when it came time to vote, you better have read through all the issues that each one of the candidates stood for, and vote according to your own conscience. Party was never the deciding fact. You were to vote for who aligned with your own moral compass, and ideal norms. I never had a teacher that voted party line. They voted on both sides, because they wanted balance. I'm 61, late boomer, but all my values came from my parents and the people in our community. Oh and we homeschooled our kids for 2 yrs, then we both had to go back to work, and 5 yrs later they moved to an independent study coarse that they soared through and Aced.

Thanks to all you guys for this video I grew up in 1960's I am old enough to be grand mother to each one of you guys our habits was first we went to public school got home did assigned work for the girls it was house related doing dishes sweeping the floods and mopping the floors make beds and that type of things for my brothers it was out in the field tilling the land preparing for seeds to be planet feeding cattle looking after the land, yep, I grew up on a farm we work a lot of hours after going to school and my parents was there to show us what to do how to do it but when my parents died I move to the city my world changed now it was totally different I gain weight sitting in a office cubical I still have not got rid of that weight but when I was young I struggle to gain weight I could see my life change and that what cause it having life too easy when I was young I rarely sit down always moving working and that what I see differently. So the world in itself changes the lifestyle changes which affects people physical bodies mental thinking. But I do try walk even if I am up in age I am retired now. Oh, richer too yet less work. Truly enjoy Nick Freitas talking with Iced Coffee podcast.

Growing up in the urban lifestyle in the 60's thru 70's is what MOST of us experienced! Sadly, growing up on a farm, or even outside of the city, stopped being available/accessible/desirerable by the 50's! Consider yourself blessed!❤👍

[@kendraelledge9644]

Fantastic interview. As a side note, I am a public school teacher and I don’t disagree. The schools disappoint me more and more every year. In Iowa, we do have a voucher system, and I do have my kids in public schools, BUT I do a ton with them at home. If you choose to keep your kid in a public school be active at home. Also, I strive to be the best teacher I humanly can, so that the students I have get what they deserve.

Fumbled so bad

@@TheIcedCoffeeHour you can make up for it if you get a place with macy and ask her dad to help with the grading or landscaping on the new property or looking at properties talk with him about what he thinks about the landscapes etc. you can always pick up the ball and play again.

Here's the truth: making corporations pay for their damage isn't anti-business - it's pro-fairness. Why should your taxes pay for environmental cleanup while they make record profits? Why should your kids breathe dirty air while CEOs buy their fifth yacht? Real capitalism means businesses pay their full costs - not privatizing profits while dumping expenses on the public. Don't let them trick you into thinking their right to unlimited profit matters more than your right to a livable future. The choice isn't between jobs and regulations. It's between an economy that works for everyone and one that enriches a few while leaving us with the bill. Time to stop letting them socialize the costs while capitilis8ng the gains.

[@skylinefever]

This is why many RNC swamp things hated Trump's China tax. Making shit in China is a way to poison someone else to make line go up on Wall Street.

[@bidencrimefamilymottof-cky953]

“Too big to fail”, true privatized profit-success/socialized expense-failure should never be a thing. Seeing banks get “bailed out” with taxpayers money and those institutions foreclosing on hundreds of thousands of those same taxpaying homeowners was one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen.

Dating is harder because both sexes are insecure and shy and unable to converse freely and openly on a text or first date. Guys are scared to be accused of abuse cos women have become overly sensitive about even a look or a flirt.

Regardless if Graham doesn’t believe public libraries serve a function, they are more than book repositories. They offer tons of FREE services. As crazy as it sounds reading and libraries are no longer mutually exclusive. It’s more than just books now and has been for a long time. Just because you didn’t use one doesn’t mean regular people don’t.

[@callalacey]

Absolutely! He needs a local librarian to reach out and show him

[@dougsfriendskeeter]

​@@callalaceyor maybe he needs to get out of his little bubble and go for a walk to his local library

[@feeseize9569]

They are a NET detriment to society based on who typically works in them and the agendas and policies they actively promote. There are exceptions but we'd be better off without them as they currently exist. The librarians of my youth are mostly long gone and unlike my mother I could never leave a small child alone there for hours to read with the adults there.

[@whysoblutube]

@@feeseize9569 why would you drop off your child at the library for hours at a time, though? Libraries aren’t there to babysit your kids - they aren’t playpens. That would be irresponsible parenting. What do you mean by who “typically works there” and “agenda?” Public libraries are democratic and secular institutions. ALL are welcome. But hey, if folks want to doom scroll all day instead of reading a good book or visiting their local branch because they have some preconceived notion about them that’s all on them.

[@callalacey]

@ ouch! Then volunteer to be on the library board and make the changes you want to see

[@deborahruthtrotter2154]

In order to make that $2000/month, people actually need to have jobs and not just scroll all day.

The only room you can rent is at someone's house these days. You can't get an apartment for that much anymore, even if it's a coverted dumpster, and that's a slight exaggeration.

Love the first question about what has happened to Family, Men, Etc. Which really could simply be what happened to society as a whole. I'm a little bit older than NIck at 54. I've been paying closer attention to politics, culture, with a heavy focus on media and its history. My answer about what has happened is two fold, Although both are a result of the Internet/Communication/Information age. On one side I think the internet destroyed our sense of wonder and desire to explore, That in the past would force us to adhere to wise words of Tolkien through Gandalf to Bilbo Baggins. That the world is not in your books, It's outside your door. So many checked out and began to live vicariously through social media/online culture, Rather than having to go out and have to engage with the world. Then second the Internet majorly empowered the people and exposed the ruling class. So since the mid 90's and the people's awakening and rise in power. The ruling class has been working overtime to completely change the relationship dynamic between them and us. Opening up Pandora's box of divisive topics to hopefully get society to end up in a perpetual state of despair, anger, depression, uncertainty, and hopefully in the end broken and back to being completely dependent on them. Willing to do as we are told and be happy with whatever world they graciously allow us to participate in. Society over the last two decades has been coming to terms with almost a century of propaganda and psychological manipulation through the ever evolving mass communication.

The Inflation Reduction Act will indeed reduce inflation. They just forgot to mention that this will only happen after a few decades of continued investment in energy self-sufficiency and diversification of energy sources, and the most important part for everyone today, that inflation will get worse before it gets better, and the public is the one paying for it. So, I agree, good marketing on their part, leading the sheep!

John adams quote "to have a free society, you need a moral one." means that for a society to truly function with individual freedoms, there needs to be a strong underlying sense of morality among its citizens, where people generally act with ethical principles and respect for others, preventing chaos and abuse of liberty; essentially, freedom without morality can lead to individuals acting solely in their self-interest, potentially harming the greater good.

I admired Peterson's "Clean Your Room' with it being a basic task in one's immediate environment that reestablishes order, self reflection, action, motivation. Another i've always admired is from the book and movie "The Peaceful Warrior" by Dan Millman. Where the Character nicknamed Socrates played by Nick Nolte to a young Dan who was going through crisis. Soc “There's never nothing going on. Take out the trash Dan. The trash is anything that is keeping you from the only thing that matters, this moment. Here, now."

I love the fact that you all put the graphics up on the screen whenever you're talking statistics. So many times I will see people take conversations like this and just try to say "oh they're talking bullshit". Putting the evidence of what you're talking about on screen completely shuts down those kind of idiots
