and no one is willing to face facts about it

What do you mean by this? I think a lot of people can see that things aren't right with many teen boys.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yes but they stop at that instead of seeing them as the cultural mine canary they are, and the proof of it is still the fact no one is doing anything about it

And you are proof yourself not realizing that the teenage boys during Gamergate are about to hit their 30s soon and they didn't stop being easily swayed misogynistic tools

And their indoctrinating a whole new generation through tate and rogan and the like

While everyone seems to just tut tut and say 'wow teen bois amirite

You really have no fucking clue how bad or deep this problem is and it's so well known that Chinese aristocrats wrote about it a thousand years ago, they called it 'The Bare Brances problem', and it resulted in numerous bandit uprisings resulting in entire villages getting raped and pillaged

And it all started with socially disenfranchised young men who had no future

Just like now

You really, really don't know how bad it's going to get. I've spent the last year prepping a remote cabin because our family has survived two dictators and they passed down their tips

If you aren't doing something to secure your family's safety now, it is likely too late unless you are wealthy enough to drop and go at a moments notice.

I don't think that's accurate, there are many truths people acknowledge without taking any action to improve things.

And you are proof yourself not realizing that the teenage boys during Gamergate are about to hit their 30s soon and they didn’t stop being easily swayed misogynistic tools

Oh we're just making things up now? Okay buddy

What interest do you have in so eagerly denying the obvious? I'm pretty sure if I check your post history I'll find some interesting things

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 hours ago

Oh god I took a look at your comment history and it reads like a bot. You made like 100 posts in the last 24 hours and they're all practically the same thing.

Did teenage boys drive us to fascism, or are the canary? The canary can't be the cause of the disaster.
Did you ever think that it's loud judgemental people like you which open the door to rightwing charlatans to sell a bag full of pleasant lies to teens?

If you're a real human, you're insufferable 👋

and what do you expect me to do about it? I'm a 52 year old fat dude, and I'm not going to jerk off a bunch of horny simps.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure from your post history that you wouldn't bother to do anything even if you could.
