America’s young men are in crisis, and the answer to this problem is spiritual, not economic or political.
The Federalist ^ | DECEMBER 29, 2022 | MARK WARREN

Posted on 12/30/2022 4:49:13 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

There’s a strange thing happening in the American economy right now — what we read in the newspaper or see on TV doesn’t match what we’re witnessing with our own eyes. Job numbers reported in the media seem wonderful. Amazingly low unemployment that hasn’t been witnessed in 50 years! Hundreds of thousands of new jobs created monthly. Yet for all these rosy numbers, when we look at the real world, we see critically understaffed businesses, long waits for repairs, and customer service in the gutter.

America’s young men are in crisis, and the answer to this problem is spiritual, not economic or political. While the media continues to trumpet good news about the economy, the reason your real-life experiences don’t match such optimism is because these reports typically only give you part of the picture. What corporate media doesn’t tell you is that about 11 million jobs remain unfilled right now.

That’s why service is lousy everywhere and you can’t get a plumber. Those jobs go unfilled because millions of young American men between the ages of 25 and 54 aren’t working. At all. As Bloomberg reports, they’ve been left behind, with a lower percentage of men between those ages working than in 1970 — a statistic that emerged before the economic disaster brought by coronavirus lockdowns.

I’d say the issue is young boys socializing properly.

How are boys encouraged to be men in a culture where sports have to be woke, and video games are all there is for these boys to socialize in? Boy scouts? That’s woke. Army? Woke. Manhood and masculinity? Any expression of masculinity is evil in our society.

Young men aren’t connecting to anything anymore. Not to a church, not to a girl, not to a career. All the messages they get is that being a man is some kind of pathology. Their lives seem to center on gaming, social media, and not pursuing anything meaningful. They’re isolated, adrift, and depressed.

True. And too many women think it's fun to bitch about men. I've been in the presence of many women who think it's OK to denigrate men even in front of their sons.

I know one who's paying for it dearly. She has cancer and her son won't come to see her. Her son, the burden of her youth, is what she wants to see before she dies.

“Amazingly low unemployment that hasn’t been witnessed in 50 years! Hundreds of thousands of new jobs created monthly.”

OR. Maybe the statistics are BULLCRAP to make Chomo Joe look good and just another media ploy to paint men, white men, as evil, lazy, terrible people.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

The political and economic are merely symptoms of the true, deeper problem, which is spiritual in nature..

First, they need to make amends for their centuries of patriarchal oppression.

The principle of sowing and reaping in play here.

Bidet&Co claim over 1,000,000 jobs created.
Philadelphia FED checked stats and revised that BS number down to 10,500. Bidet&Co lie like rugs.

“A study published by the Philadelphia Federal Reserve last week said 10,500 new jobs were added in the second quarter of 2022. Yet the national statistics bureau had previously reported a total over the same period of more than 1 million.Dec 22, 2022”

Well... the Propaganda Media, government, family court judges, and Feminists 'effed and around and now they're finding out.

They wanted to marginalize men and really believed men would take it like soy boys from matriarchal cultures but that's not happening.

The This about sums it up from both conservatives and liberals when it comes to addressing young men.

“He explains to Rowe on the podcast that we could use shame as a powerful motivator “

Just what young men need. Another person telling them what horrible people they are no matter what they do. “White men, you are irredeemably racist horrible people” and “young black men you are victims of horrible white society and will never amount to anything.” So inspirational. Doesn’t it sound fun that you are expected to sacrifice everything for a society that hates you?

Very much so. It's sad that she didn't realize how damaging her words were when he was young.

Heck, even the video games are going woke. Just like movies and social media.

Kicking feminists out of HR and college admissions departments would solve 90% of it.
