My entire generation is in debt. [71% of graduates from 4-year colleges now graduate with student loan debt]( https://studentloanhero.com/student-loan-debt-statistics/).
We were forced to attend Soviet-style universities to study the Frankfurt School and Cultural Marxism in every damn class. We swallowed anti-white, anti-Father, anti-truth teachings in classrooms designed for "group goals" rather than individual achievement. With women now [making up 55% of undergraduates nationally]( https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2016/03/28/look-how-women-outnumber-men-college-campuses-nationwide/YROqwfCPSlKPtSMAzpWloK/story.html), traditionally minded men were outnumbered from the jump.
No one got how fucked up the school situation really was until after graduation. I mean, we thought it was weird in high school how they were drugging us - [by the time they reach high school, 20% of boys have been diagnosed with ADD, and 2/3 of those are given rittalin]( http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a32858/drugging-of-the-american-boy-0414/). And the college price inflation seemed pretty close to a scam. But we went along with the new Humanistic values, and nodded in agreement as we were told how our grandparent’s generation was sexist and oppressive.
Some guys from our generation will have to fix this system. What they teach right now is so whacked out and damaging that we have a responsibility to our kids to make sure it stops.
No gender roles, father figures routinely mocked, truth is relative, we’re all a Global community. This stuff was hammered into us via schools and media. We believed it, but it tore us and our families apart over time.
Then we came out of school, and immediately learned this isn’t the economy the Baby Boomers had. Times are actually fairly tough for young guys right now. Good jobs are very competitive, and you’re barely allowed to speak to women if you’re outside the top 20%.
We're starting to realize we have NO ethnic or national identity (can't be racist or authoritarian!). NO religion or God (teacher said those are irrational), and NO real customs (marriage and gender roles are done).
Growing up we knew that the divorce rate had skyrocketed to 50%. The no-fault divorce law in 1969 made this inevitable, but we're just now seeing the carnage. When you add in our widespread economic uncertainty and the escalating costs of having a wedding, marriage is a pipe-dream for most millennials. Record numbers are sitting it out.
Oh, and did I mention we grew up during a technological revolution on par with the printing press? We were the test generation for gadget after gadget. We were the first generation with internet porn and video games so good you couldn’t put them down. No one has any idea what these things are doing to the brain. What I do know is that guys who weren’t getting laid (read: most guys) used screens as a replacement for intimacy. They masturbated with their computers daily, and then fell asleep with Netflix on repeat.
Given all this, it shouldn't be any surprise that depression is growing in all age groups, in virtually every community, and the growth is seen most in the young, especially teens. At my "elite" boarding school, you weren't allowed to keep pills in your room, so there was a line queued up at the health center each morning for kids to receive their happy pills. Fucking nuts.
These issues forced us to wake up to the bigger picture. We learned how Cultural Marxism is just the current management model being used by a very real Globalist Tyranny.
The issues we face are grave. These are serious times.

smokecheck1976 7y ago
You start with a mistake.
No. No, you weren't. I heard this same bullshit argument from people graduating college after 4 years 18 years ago. Nothing was stopping you from exploring your options. You could have went to work at a company that paid for some of your college. You could, possibly, have joined the military and let them pick up the bill for your education while they paid you and maybe taught you a trade. Hell, you could have picked up a trade like a welder, which are always in need and make good money. If the university is failing to provide the education you want or make you fell unwelcome, don't give it to them. There are more opportunities for education than have ever existed in the past.
The New World Order's staunchest defenders are watching it fall apart right in front of their eyes.
Yeah, about the baby boomers they came of age in the 1970s. Does the word stagflation ring a bell. That wasn't an easy time. It's always hard for the younger guys. Do you know what the code of the road is? I suggest you find out.
Good jobs are always competitive. If you aren't hustling to stay ahead of the mother fucker that wants your job, then you don't have a good job.
As for women, I'm not a top 20% guy. I have average looks and an average physique. An hour ago, I pulled a number after talking to a chick I met in line at a bagel shop after talking her up for three minutes. This isn't a humble brag (okay, so maybe a little bit) but if I can do it, then barring some physical abnormality, you can do it. Maybe even if you have a physical deformity.
Have you ever had a genetic test done? The age of exploration and travel began 500 years ago. Very few people in the west are left that aren't a mutt of some sort. Besides, humans are, for the most part, average. If I can instill the same attitudes toward learning and behavior to 1000 people and test, I would come forward with average results, some higher, some lower, but most racial stuff is simple nonsense. Be a person you can be proud of instead of being proud of an accident that determined the melanin count in your skin.
Plato had to deal with the Hedonists in his day. Believe me, in all the millenia hence they haven't come up with a new argument.
Stand up and fight for what you want. Find a woman that wants the same thing. Don't let society impose itself on you.
Economic uncertainty used to be far worse. Using it as an excuse to not do any particular thing is, I don't know, sorta....dumb. As for marriage, get a prenuptial agreement and make sure that it will stand up to any challenge before signing the document, the same as you should do when you form any corporation with other people. As far as the cost of a wedding, if she needs a wedding that is expensive, then she pays for it, it can be as fancy and big as she wants or as private as she wants. If she can't be sensible, she is doing you a favor.
Literally the exact same argument used about TV viewing and porn mags in my generation. The brain can be rewired. In fact such is common.
Well that is sad for them. I assume it must be said for the women that would love to be intimate with them. At the end of the day, it's just more opportunity for me.
Yeah, yeah, I've seen it. I've got the world at my finger tips, I got fed this morning, I know where my next meal is coming from, I'm not working in some hole in the ground, and as Kurt Cobain added, "I'm famous, my nuts are empty, and my bank accounts are full, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" right before he blew his brains out.
Simply, your generation has never been taught how to be happy and pharmaceutical companies are only too happy to give you a pill that will magically solve all of your problems. Happiness doesn't lie in having enough but in being to accept that you are enough.
Has half of your village died from Black Death in the last year? Are your feet rotting off because you've been in a muddy cold trench for the last six months where you didn't even dare try to empty the piss or shit out for fear you would get shot? Are you running for your life and hiding because some asshole convinced a bunch of other assholes that people that look like you are evil and need to exterminated? There are people all throughout history that would gladly, gleefully take your place.
If you've read this far, good, I didn't lose you. Here's some advice. If video games are bothering you, get rid of your console and buy some books. If approaching women is bothering you, then find the ones that you would never in a million years be interested in and strike up conversations with them. Don't worry about what your friends do, because ultimately you will walk a path that is necessarily different from the one that they will walk. Do what you must, but when you are done with that, do what you want. Make yourself happy.

Why are you afraid of hikki culture?
[deleted] 7y ago
Because it basically spells the end for one's own civilization if it's big in the numbers? i can see a country proudly ignoring a 5% hikki, i can see one getting ruined for 20%.
rfu12 7y ago
I don't think you need to be worried about that. There are more sides to "Hikkikomori" culture than you might think and numbers like 20% of a society becoming, what I am assuming budurtutgerek actually meant, hikkineets, is pretty much impossible. Unless a majority of people are no longer required to do anything work at all, that's simply unsustainable.
There are big differences between definition and the entire group we are talking about here too.
Like, what do you define "Hikkikomori" as? It's translated form the Japanese 引きこもり which means shut-in, stay-at-home, people who withdraw from society, social withdrawal, shunning other people, according to my nifty translation tool (ty rikai).
Keep in mind that it says nothing about the employment status of these people, which is where NEET and freeter come in. NEET stands of "not in employment, education or training" and "freeter" is another japanese term refering to (usually) young people who chose to do low skilled and low paid jobs to pay their bills (ty wikipedia).
NEET and freeter are more or less exclusive to one another, but each can be a hikki to varying degrees. In the first place, when exactly is a person "socially withdrawn"?
The thing you are scared of are involuntary hikkineets crippled by depression. These usually live alone and are financed by their parents or live on welfare (who also take care of bigger things, such as shopping).
The reason these people exist in the west (IMO) is because we wouldn't let them fail completely. They have a lifeline, but at the same time they perceive themselves as shackled to this lifeline and crippled by it. There will never be a massive growth in this group, because you don't fall into it unless everything in your life has failed you - school, parents, society, friends and classmates and you yourself. In the past, if everything (including yourself) failed, you either died or you were forced to get by whatever means necessary (a life of crime?). Hikkineets are stuck in the limbo, where they are not allowed to die, but also not forced to adapt.
Unlike in the past, where people were usually left with the choice of dying or adapting thanks to crises like war and famine, we don't have very many crises anymore. That's why I think until any shit hits the fan such as the collapse of BP-culture, wide scale automatization and mass unemployment resulting from it and whatever else can really go wrong - we'll be fine.
Outside of the group I wrote about earlier, I don't think anything relating to voluntary hikki and neet culture is harmful or bad, let alone freeters. It comes across as MGTOW to me, because that's what it is for a lot of them.
A 50 year old guy who made himself rich and now bangs chicks and hangs with his friends in early retirement? That's a neet.
Guy who build himself a cabin and lives alone in the woods? Hikki neet.
30 year old guy that's programming from home and just never leaves his house? Hikki
Guy obsessed with taking pictures of train stations and finances himself by working part-time at a convenience store? Freeter
[deleted] 7y ago
Well i can stand most of your analysis, but as a former "hikkineet" (years ago, but been there) i'd expand on that. What i find wrong is the "not forced to adapt". These people are really forced NOT to adapt in the west. I got the usual "just be yourself" blue progressive parents. Women are wonderful etc. In this case the standard "growing up" is seen as bad, dad doesn't have free will from mom and is never going to talk freely about women, sex etc. You end up carving your hole instead of building your house so to say. At some point you find yourself sheltered, full of delusions, and with little mental room.
The fact is, if you don't have alphas or redpills near you young when you have blue parents, little can save you, it's pre-established that you will fail early.
I'm not talking about this because i'm bitter, i understood time and time again that being able to own what i was is going to set me apart from this group. It's the learned bitterness and void of ideas/trust in oneself that make that condition horrible. I'm saying this because having been there, it's not about the missing forces of good, it's about the really really present "forces of evil" in your head that you couldn't dodge in your childhood.

To say that we have been test subjects of new gadgets is not outlandish. These devices are engineered to be addictive. Not only the gadgets themselves but the media we consume on them.
Suicide rates among young teenage girls has skyrocketed in the past 15 years and scientists attribute this to social media.
I could go on and on but if you read some of the stuff on .r.nosurf (a community to control internet browsing i.e. wasting time) there is a lot of quality content there that talks about how addictive the internet can be and what its effects are on our brain (hint: our brain is overheating, so to speak).
Cellphones nowadays break our concentration completely and our attention spans are now less than a goldfish'.
Terrible stuff and also very interesting but our generation as a whole (and even older adults seem to show compulsive behaviour towards their phones) is pretty fucked in the head.
The first step is to recognize that the internet,cellphones, social media - instant communication and access to information basically - is all messing up a lot of kids and adults alike.

Excellent post.
Sad but fair analysis of the "modern" world.
If this isn't a wake up call for newbies, then you are most definitely BluePill. What the modern world teaches is a suicidal, self-loathing, victim complex ideology. They will fragment all of society into individual, disconnected granules and then they'll crush you under their fucking boots.
The Internet was the most empowering tool of all of history. Now we see the globalists are shitting their pants trying to regain control of the narrative. Your phone is tapped. Your email is tapped. Your sexting is tapped. Google, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter are all working overtime to root out dissent and to censor and destroy it. You are the enemy. They want to see you dead. Technology is being leveraged to make the world into a living nightmare where you are nothing but a slave, an economic unit of production. Don't you dare have an opinion.

You want to know the BIGGEST social issue which the young have is that they have absolutely NO FREAKING SOCIAL SKILLS what so ever.
It is truly embarrassing that they can not carry on a simple conversation likely because they spend the entire day with their heads stuck up a phone's ass.
Texting is not relating to people or developing social skills.
It is stupid to watch the horde of tweenies, wasting their time at clubs, festivals and sporting events taking selfies and posting the shit to social media then and there....then after getting the crapola posted, they sit around with bored expressions waiting on the likes to start rolling in...head stuck in phone until the likes stop then they usually pack up to leave without ever really experiencing the event. it is beyond stupid and goes back to the obsession with validation over everything else.

Capitalism is the economic system which requires capital in order to make money. The definition of a Capitalist is someone who hires workers to profit from their labour.
It's pretty easy to understand:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism
...also, capitalism and market trade, or unalienated self-employment are not the same thing. Capitalism is a specific type of economic system.

Slight Correction: The increase in college costs isn't a result of capitalism, it has to do with government interference in the market by backing all student loans. They essentially eliminated all risk from the investors while guaranteeing them their profits, the same exact situation with repealing Dodd-Frank yet left the FDIC in tact for the lenders. Whose fault was it, the banks or the government that gave them the free meal ticket? Capitalism works due to the freedom to fail. Once you remove that from the equation it cease to be capitalism.
Eliminating all failure risk while increasing the rewards for how much money you can throw out there was the primary driver behind the housing bubble and it's what we see with the college bubble. Privatized profits and later socialized losses. Looking at only one end of the equal sign while ignoring the other isn't an honest perspective, it's a direct result of cause and effect, and the government is the cause. A recipe for disaster. So please don't label it as capitalism when the label corporatism would much more suffice.
Uberfeedus 7y ago

One of the major increases in college costs is the bloated salaries, benefits, and pension packages of school administrators. The UC system needs to be broken and rebuilt so students can attend without having huge amounts of debt when they exit.

You are wrong. The capitalists learned that even though Cultural Marxism, was created to oppose capitalism, it actually does it a massive favor by producing MUCH MORE consumers than tradcon.

The Culture Industry can exist without it being purely top-down or coming from one singular consciously organized source. That's the nature of advertising and the media. They publish and hype similar things because there are trends, and we all share a concrete reality.
max_peenor 7y ago
Most of which are owned by the state.
There is nothing capitalist about giant central banks printing massive piles of money to buy cheap foreign produced goods so they can backfill their banker friends to keep them whole. It's about as planned and economy as you can get from a finance standpoint.
No, it's because they keep saying stupid shit like this.
quietthomas 7y ago
I don't think banks directly buy cheap foreign goods, they tend to not want to hold that kind of unappreciating material asset.
...they loan companies money who are then acting within the market of their own accord.
So no, I don't believe we live in a soviet style planned economy. The economy is chaotic because it's distributed and decentralized.
Central/national banks mostly just set certain macro-economic variables. The main one being how many government bonds they'll buy in order to set the interest and inflation rate and keep the economy smooth and solvent. Without central banks we'd be subject to all sorts of unnecessary and extreme economic turbulence.
max_peenor 7y ago
You should tell that to the Fed that is holding trillions in treasuries while it pushed the cash directly into either government debt spending (handouts) or debt facilities (credit cards, student loans and other spend money shit). You know what the interest is on a t-bill these days? Obviously, you don't. You also don't understand the situation between the Fed (central back) and retail banks.
Except when they spend 8 years in a row printing an average of $700B in cash. Which is exactly what has been happening. Where do you think all that money ends up?
quietthomas 7y ago
Thanks for telling me what I don't know about things I never raised or discussed.
Your black and white ideas on "spending and saving" are probably good on the personal micro-economic world (ie. your own). But no government thinks like that, as governments are responsible for the total amount of money a system needs.
That's not something you as an individual have to think about, nor is it going to be intuitive for you as an individual.
max_peenor 7y ago
Ah, platitudes. Now we are getting somewhere.
You realize that the Fed isn't the government, right? You realize they all have their own personal interest in doing what they are doing, right? You realize that governments are no less susceptible to corruption than any other entity, right?
quietthomas 7y ago
It's actually really helpful to avoid major depressions. It can stimulate an economy in downturns, and slow hyperinflation in boom times.
max_peenor 7y ago
Buying economic activity by swiping the nation credit card isn't stimulating anything. Once you max the card, you are back to where you started. Even Keynes knew this and warned against running year over year deficits.
quietthomas 7y ago
Yes, Keynes said spending in flat times to stimulate the economy, and decrease spending in boom times (when there's more money in the system)...
...and that's what macro-economics is about; managing the amount of money the national economy needs to thrive. The point is it's a system, it's not the "all spending is bad, all saving is good" model.
max_peenor 7y ago
Which isn't what is happening now. We are throwing debt money after deflating assets and consumption.

You can all do some damage control or karma fixing by calling out the few feminists in your family.
For all my teen++ life i thought "shet i don't like this people but i have to be good to them or ill pay for all my life"... But then when the rage bottled up and i literally couldn't give a shet anymore and bursted out... i realized they thought just the same. So you have a feminist sister or mother that used to count on you while undervaluing male gender? start calling them a bitch when they need you and refusing contact. You'll see how fast the "toxic males in prison" change to a silent acceptance of the tragic reality. Give, give, give, when they try to take, slap. That's mine bitch!
Family is a goldmine when it comes to frame control practice. And you know what, they seem happier i unleashed my balls on them. All people spouting bullshit and not having a clue, suddenly realizing some of them indeed had a clue.
The problem of our millenial generation is that they can sense their own fear very well, but not that of others. When you start picking up on it, you realize life CAN be easy, because then you can focus on other people anxiety and not yours.
