See, you people keep trying to excuse those who are taking you for a ride.

It's fine to "want" money. This isn't about "wanting" money. It's about lowering people's standards and contributing to a 'new normal.'

This isn't an issue with the vast majority of other projects, why should this one get a pass?

Don't be a useful idiot. Even among piracy communities, useful idiots are the norm.

Stop being a useful idiot.

Right, it was implied though.

Essentially, we shouldn't listen to the men complaining but the men should listen to you complaining?

I agree with him, but I also respect his decision not to answer.

Unfortunately, people like you can't stand when someone says something you don't like so you constantly try to pull them into a debate.

Not everyone is worth replying to, regardless of how much they beg for a response.

Kids in private school, high class vacations, all of it.

The fuck is traditional about any of that?

Are you one of those people who sees a movie about rich people in the past and assume that's how you would've lived?

This is it. People like Trump, Tate, Musk, and West all know how saying provocative yet ambiguous statements causes people to talk about them.

It's really an art at this point, and I'm wondering if they've been working on making it a science.

I guess they never had new technology in the past.

I'm reminded of the inspiration behind the Rust programming language.

"Rust is very much a language inspired from the past to save the future from itself."

Sorry, rampant consumerism has been detrimental to our species as a whole. Now no matter how much we have, it's never enough.

I'm glad people are fighting back against this 'new normal' that really only exists to funnel as much money as possible to the people at the top.

Also, if you leave Western nations you'll see that this "mythical simpler past" is still alive and well. The rest of the world is looking at the West like we're crazy, and most of us are. It's called hysteria.

You must be new to the world, then.

Getting everyone to agree on anything is nigh-impossible.

I'm guessing you're single.

Everyone, keep in mind, there's a lot of losers on the internet who will never find love and don't want you to find love, either.

Don't end up like them unless you want to.

Yeah, why can't he just agree with you on everything right out the gate?

So, we should only listen to one party's complaints?

I mean, it's a tale as old as time.

Shitty males buy females thing to avoid being held accountable.

I disagree.

Usually it's the 'modern' women who have been convinced to be treated like livestock. Nothing very traditional about going to raves or wearing pasties.

Agreed.

It's clear though what kind of males fall for these influencers; the ones without good male role models or father figures in their lives.

Why don't they have good male role models or father figures? I think it's because they feel they can only choose between 'cuck' and 'chad' so when their insecurity flares up, they instinctively go with 'chad.'

Balance is lost among men in our society. There's no 'firmness' anymore. Either men are pensive emo teens, or they're boisterous blowhards like tate.

Anyone in between is ignored and forgotten about.

Taking the red pill means different things to different people.

I hope one day we can have psychologists seriously study and analyze the meaning behind such an idea and how it can be such a powerful tool.

It's probably 50/50.

50% of the people are using it as entertainment and laughing at/encouraging those who take it seriously. We can call them the 'trolls.'

50% of the people are actually taking it seriously and don't know any better. We can call them the 'tools.'

We're gonna need better lemmy communities with less censorship.
