Yea, most businesses would be facing bankruptcy or investigation by the DOJ. But not the federal mafia.

“You guys are rabidly defending your socialist Ponzi scheme. I don’t remember authorizing the government to steal from me to promote a Ponzi scheme.”

“The Social Security Act was signed into law by President Roosevelt on August 14, 1935”

Boomer generation started in 1946 and SS was mandatory for most boomers. So how is it our socialist Ponzi scheme?

USA used to encourage people to build AMERICAN families.

If you want to do a good deed, get married and have a bunch of little AMERICANS.

I know it’s hard - like I said - if you want to do a good deed.

I can’t lay it on you that you HAVE to do that, though.

Not your fault in any way. My reading of this thread has been anything but comprehensive. However, WC1 has made some valid points.

SS _is_ a ponzi scheme whether we boomers like it or not.

But that’s not the real problem. The real problem is that Americans quit having families, or had very small ones.

The led to excuses for much greater immigration. We’re gonna be VERY sorry.

Damn right, and it’s not impressive to see some really lazy, stupid responses here. Lots of uninformed people.

Just keep voting R and take that second mortgage out on the home for a trip to Disney land.

I would not be so disdainful. It's not like the cat was ALWAYS out of the bag. The very Declaration of Independence notes men do not change governments for shallow reasons.

WC1 you have analyzed it well.

The answer is choosing to live a _sacrificial_ life, following He who sacrificed everything for us. There are men (and women!) who _want_ to do that. Choose that good road, then find that kind of woman! (just my suggestion)

Yes, following Christ, He of “Christ”endom. Which was not a perfect place, but not the hell being created now. We can talk about the Crusades some time if need be. Suffice it to say islamism has been around quite a while.

On the other hand, to be fair, men are so far buried in internet porn that they think that a wife is supposed to do all of the vile things they watch on the internet to sexually satisfy them.

Do you know this first hand, or are you simply regurgitating the female party line?

Think of Romney, Ryan, Jeb ... GOPe ... those are the ones who need/needed to be overthrown.

Good luck with that. What he has to choose from is ethically equivalent to "good muslims."

What he writes is not original and is widely accepted. You can find many good essays on this out on the internet. It’s the truth.

But we didn't KNOW that until the rise of Trump.

Prior to that we at least gave plausibility to the notion that there were more of what we now call the GOPe (what used to be called the Rockefeller Republicans) than there were of us, and being fair minded we set about building our wing. NOW we know they do not in any way represent us the way they claimed they would, and are more interested in preserving the status quo than addressing what we consider problems.

If we had moved earlier, they would have been able to preserve the plausible fiction that allowed Bush to succeed Reagan and start the whole farce over again with voters who did not remember their duplicity.

Utterly irrelevant. How many times has the "Super Bowl Sunday domestic abuse" canard been tossed about.

No offense, but I knew they didn’t represent us when George Bush and the Republican congress didn’t lock down the borders on 9/11 and round up every person of Mid East origin and commence deportations proceedings, followed by massive retaliatory airstrikes and ground invasion of 1 million troops in Saudi Arabia.

If you think internet porn is not a mental health crisis among millennials you’re not paying attention.

None taken, but I submit there is a vast difference between inferring a thing, and having it demonstrated first hand.

Perhaps not.

What are the terrible consequences aside from posing and extreme psychological threat to women’s self esteem?

I do know this: MGTOW exists for good and valid reasons. And this is coming from someone still married to his first wife for 35 years.
