and it has been decades of it, 50 years, I promise you that. The generation of kids born in the 1970s is where it started with medicating the boys. 😭
They're still medicating, but now it's all the young people (male and female), and now it's with hormone blockers/gender meds...after they convince them that they were "born in the wrong body" and would be happier if they just take the meds. The ritalin stuff was just practice. Probably what happened to their parents.
 
We live in a world where many of the strong and brave young men are sent off to wars to fight and die, leaving behind an unusually large percentage of the weak, frail, timid, confused and medicated. That group is then bombarded with mixed messages about what a man is. And don't think that is by accident. A society of weak men won't fight back when the gov't takes away their rights.

We also live in a world of single mom's who teach their sons femininity as the world applauds them. I am a living example of all the above, in opposing form. No mom, just a dad and I am a lean mean fighting machine with a (becoming former) hit 'em and quit 'em mentality and only a modicum of empathy. Thank god pops didn't take off or I could have been a scared little simp in mommy's basement. I have recently come to understand that it takes a strong father and a loving mother to provide the balance a child needs, male or female. Or a stand in who can provide the same. Without it you are not whole.
 
Yes
It has been taking place for years
Let this tin foil hat idea sink in
China. Makes / supplies 95% of ALL medications used in the USA

Ok. Now we have another thread about testing facilities.

Use your head for something besides a hat rack , China is poisoning our meds with girly hormones or something along those lines.
You do not have to believe me, Just use your head. They have announced to the world they hate us. They provide all our meds
It really does not take a genius to see they are manipulating the meds
I could be wrong but do not think so
Wow that's pretty frightening.

I grew up in MA. I moved because the laws were so restrictive. I really miss the other states in new england like maine and new hampshire. In ne england I practiced a far greater deal of civil disobedience and would have been considered a felon for openly living the way that I do in the south where I now reside.

When I moved down south (2 months prior to when they redefined the assault weapons ban to include "copycat" rifles) I was able to immediately and openly be more myself without having to explain to every weak bodied liberal moron who felt entitled to tell me how to live my life.

I got into alot of fights up there- my temper was out of control. I felt constantly disrespected and it seemed like everyone wanted a piece of me- and i was happy to give them one... Everyone wanted me to conform, and when I didn't people felt it was an affront to their choices and would report, slander and in some cases literally attack me. The egos up there are unbelievable.

I left and have never gone back- despite having friends and family there I started over. It was only a matter of time before I ended up imprisoned or worse.

When I reached the south it was like people appreciated my independance- now many appreciate and even envy my abilities and lifestyle choices. Which i far prefer to the commonwealths often open hatred of independence and self reliance.

In MA the definition of being respectful was conforming to others, bowing to title and authority and above all else chasing status. down here in the south it means being tolerant of (and polite to) other people and minding your own life.

I was never a NEET. I actually have found significantly more of those in the south... which kinda baffles me. I have a few hypothesis on why that modern apathy is so apparent here- but suffice to say it's becoming a real problem.

I just wanted to take a proper **** on new england before showing I was critical of folks down here in the south, cause I do love it down here.
Why do you surmise they become NEETS?
 
There are at least two or three generations that have had everything handed to them. They haven't had to work for anything, so as adults they expect that to continue, and Welfare is a huge part of the problem. They have no fiscal responsibilty whatsoever.

Stop all of the free stuff. Eliminate welfare. You either work or starve. JMHO, but I am sick and tired of paying for it.

Good insight.
 
What you are saying about the U S A is happening around the so called western world , here in South Africa there are about 8 million tax paying people of all colours ,but there is about 30 million others on social benefit's , our population is about 60 million the balance is young children , for many years in a row the Government talk about teenage pregnancies , children of 10 years old are having had babies , I think the figure is 1500 so far this year for young teenagers , I do stand corrected on these figures ,but it is crazy so there are grandmothers of 30 years old

That's unbelievable with children that young having babies. But I wonder why people on public benefits is apparently worldwide. I wonder if they're just taking the easy route because they can or if there is something else going on.

IMHO this is a lingering effect of Socialism. Why would you work when everything will be handed to you? There is no incentive to work.

Rape, not enough education, not enough opportunities for employment? Just guessing.
 
My grandmother was 12 years old when she had my dad. It wasn't unusual back then, and in that part of the country. They didn't live off the dole, I doubt if they ever considered it. At that time everyone one worked hard and did the best they could. The only exceptions were those who lived in the projects, aka ghettos.
 
Because the same people who are giving away freebies to the illegals are giving away freebies to the college students that you expect to be protesting - like canceling their college loans.

"Don't bite the hand that feeds you", even when you know it's a corrupt hand.

This ploy is the foundation of how Democrats stay in power. Buy your voters with freebies. If you don't have enough voters to win, add more freebies.
Let the so called entitled lil cockroaches work and pay off their college loans like i did, NObody ever paid a dime on mine except ME!
 
They are just lazy. :mad:
Everything is not screwed up. There are plenty of jobs, and 'Help Wanted' signs are everywhere.
They are just spoiled to suckling the 'free-stuff' teat.
It reminds me of when I was visiting someone who lived in 'the projects'.
Their neighbor guy was whining nonstop about how hard life was, and saying '...if I only had a job, everything would be good:cry:'.
I went to a company that luved me,, and pulled some strings...
Went back to the guy and told him: "I got you a good job waiting for you, all you have to do is write my name down as a reference, and you will be hired.":thumbs:
His reply:
"Oh I can't do that, I will lose all my bennies.:("

So, don't buy lazy-people's excuses that everything is screwed up. That is a lie.:mad:
Most of the young ones today want and handout for doing NOTHING, they would rather play with their cell phones or video games, THEY need to GROW the hell up!

I am not jumping on the train, whining about how hard today's young people have it, with no opportunities, and they have to live on welfare.
It is BS! :mad:
They have a far better 'launch-pad' than all of us had...
Living at home after age 18 with your parents meant working all day with cows on 'The prison-farm'.
I almost broke the front gate off the hinges when I broke out for freedom and independence! :D
The current generation only has 2 problems: they are spoiled, and they are lazy. :(

That's too bad you felt that way, Supervisor. I was the opposite, longed for the farm, but stuck near San Francisco. Hated it there.
My dad was a NASA engineer. He was only down there on the weekends.
He gave me a glimpse that there a much better life out there waiting for me, instead of castrating and dehorning calves.
After 15 years of that, I knew there was a better life for me, if i got motivated.
I looked thru the 'help wanted' ads for the ones with the highest starting wage: Diesel Mechanic.
2 years later, I had a degree in "Diesel and Heavy Equipment Mechanics" and could choose between several companies.
The first job I took, was 3X MW, with plenty of OT available! :D
 
Well, husband is a retired aerospace engineer, so we always lived where he needed to be. Thank goodness for retirement and the farm. Although he doesn't love it so much. There's farm people and there's farmer's market people.
Sorry, still going on the topic of how 'disillusioned' (lazy) today's young people are...
FOX did an article on how young women are ditching college and going to trade school. :)
The she/it technician that fixed our washing machine told me about her 'wife and kids' as she was leaving.
Did I care that she was a dyke? Not at all.
She was a skilled person that could get the job done. :thumbs:
 
@Supervisor42 I hear younger women complaining that they can't make what men make per hour. I've long thought that if they're willing to get dirty and work in the rain, cold, snow, heat, bugs, etc that they can get exactly what men make because most of those trade jobs pay scale and it doesn't matter what parts a person has swinging off their body. And I've seen a couple ladies who could run a grapple boom or a backhoe as slick as any man can. The trades are no joke, and if women are motivated to do the job I'm all for it...

Many Sales jobs are much the same. Everybody makes the same amount. You want to make more, sell more. The last eight years of my career was in a position like that. EVERYBODY made the same salary. Everybody had the same benefits. If you wanted to make more, hustle, make more calls, generate more sales.
 
My guess would be the fault would be with parents, and their parents. No1.
No2. Would be a couple generations of a government run school system, complete with union school teachers.
I have to agree. That’s what you get when there is a generation that grew up getting participation trophies, told it was ok to be a loser, no corporal punishment, and not taught any work ethic. It’s sad really. Just imagine what the next generation will be like when raised by what’s walking around now…..

When I was growing up my dad owned sawmills and a farm, when out of school for summer i worked full time with both , LOVED working at lumber mill and on farm, made me appreciate my college degree and work ethics.
 
I grew up working my dads, uncles, and both grandpas farms, plus a couple neighbors at times. Mowing yards, plowing and disking gardens, bush hogging, building fences, assisting with carpentry projects. By the time I was 16 I was working on some folks cars and trucks.
Now days most young folks don't have the opportunity to do much of any of that type work...Working with your hands.

That said my next door neighbors son is not quite 30 yet, but went to Diesel school straight outta high school. Hes a good kid, hardworker, and a great dad to a cute little girl. My Niece, 26, graduated Architechure school with a Masters and has a great job. Still going after more certificates to expand her horizons. Her husband graduated with a mechanical enginnering degree. He now works at a log cabin manufactuer and upgrades and runs maintenance of their high tech CNC log cutting equipment.

There are high quality young folks out there that don't get the press all the worthless slugs get that can't figure out which bathroom to use. From what I can see, parents are primarily responsible for todays idiocy

A teen I know told me he was in class and a fellow classmate told the class that he was sent to his room without supper and the teacher told him "that's child abuse!" She threatened to report his mother to authorities but the teen recanted. This could play a part too.
 
My Theory: Back in history each generation of people went through more hardship than the prior generation. That's because the parents always wanted their children to have it easier than they did, understandable. Along with that each generation had new inventions that the prior generation didn't have. What that resulted in was "softer" generations developed who expected "more" toys (I'll call better cars, cell phones, tablets, big screen tx's, etc. toys) as a basic standard for life. And at the same time college degrees, which were very important 30 or 40 years ago, became the norm as learning physical jobs were looked down on.

The result is that our younger generation expects a much higher standard of living because they feel that those things are a life standard (they grew up with them) and they expect them right off. Gone are the days where people dreamed of hard physical labor & earning a wage that you need to save up for the "extras" in life. If the younger generation is less than they should be, it's because the prior generation didn't do their job so at least in part it's not their fault.

Just a basic example of what I'm saying. In WWII sometimes in battle you were told to charge a machine gun. I spend 20 in the military (next generation btw) & if someone had ordered me to charge a machine gun, I would have said WTH did you just say?
 
Yes but how did young American men get to this point? What went wrong? Was the culture here somehow poisoned intentionally?

I've always thought This was a rather insightful perspective...

..Seems pretty spot on, these days.. o_O

IMHO this is a lingering effect of Socialism. Why would you work when everything will be handed to you? There is no incentive to work.

Aye. I'm sure you've likely heard of 'John Calhoun's Mice Utopia Experiments' before.. and IMO, this is a decent 'quick overview':

..Yah.. o_O

Of course, it's Best to search-up / watch the 'Docu-Films' of it all (or, better yet, Read his White Paper on it all, etc) but.. Some of those 'reposts' out there, seem to take the Op to 'tack on the Pro-eugenics / Population control yack' that the NWO'ers preach / are pushing for ('Overpopulation is Baaad' - which is, of course, True, ie: Mega Cities, etc.. but..

..There's a Big Difference between the concerns stemming from Overcrowding.. and "Overpopulation" - and, More critically, the Proposed "Solutions" (ie; the diabolical 'WEF' / Davos coven, et al, and their 'Great Reset'..)

Calhoun, himself, however, seemed to favor Better, non-diabolical solutions, but.. Regardless of Any of those 'takes' on his work.. To Me, what rings out more than Any Other 'Warning' - by a Large margin - is that "socialism" / communism Still proves just a Mortal Coil / means for the "Ruling Class" to 1984-better.. 😡🤬

In the old days people had as many kids as they could, this was to strengthen familys and work large family farms, they didnt need outsiders help!!!

If I were white and living in South Africa I'd get the hell out. Is it true there's actually genocide of white people--especially white farmers--going on in South Africa?
