Thanks; I wish it wasn’t so, but where I live (northeast NJ) the whole system is breaking down as Americans evacuate - and those remaining have a hard enough time making ends meet. Certainly no time, money, or energy to preserve/maintain any institutions for people they know loathe them...
People really didn’t understand when the freaks in 2008 set out to “fundamentally transform” this country. There is truly no more viable conservative movement (fiscal AND social) left in this country.
My dad was a contractor and put me to work on a shovel while I was in junior high. Minimum union wage for digging dirt at that time was twelve and a half cents an hour.
I didn’t say I dug ditches for the rest of my life, just that I never had a problem staying employed.
As for at fifty, that seems to be when age discrimination kicks in. The experience, skill, and wages necessary to purchase them as opposed to hiring someone much younger but much lower wages starts to balance in favor of less wages.
I was addressing millennials in general. Your analysis of millennial men in particular is on point. The problem is exacerbated because the institutions you mention have bought into the feminist lies (churches are especially guilty here and they mostly don’t realize it) and men don’t wish to participate. And why would they when those institutions subtly side against them every time.
I never understood that, particularly with the Catholic Church; it will always be headed by a man, and will always have solely male priests - because that is what Jesus set up 2,000 years ago. I understand wanted to include everyone, but that doesn’t override history/Scripture.
Never mind “wishing to participate”; men today are told that they have no voice in many of these institutions/matters - just that they should fund them (so they walk away).
And they should walk away.
If society doesn’t like their “toxic masculinity” society can get by without it. I’ll eat popcorn while watching the whole mess burn.
There's men going their own way.
Sure - but it isn’t a strong political movement.
Absolutely; it is already happening. One obstacle facing NY and NJ as they try to lure companies (since they chased out so many with high taxes) is that they are running out of skilled workers. The flight of young whites from these states has left a large hole in the workforce - and the second- and third-string foreign replacements won’t do.
