The old manosphere was great for comparing notes on what was going on. But the old red pill sites are mostly gone and have been replaced by a great deal of astro turf. Lately, I have noticed people aren't very friendly in public anymore. Asked around to some of the locals and they have told me no one goes out. Have to search to find people.
Also, I was talking with a younger dude who spends his summers going up to Alaska to work. I have known guys who have done that but didn't realize there was an extensive network of guys who do it. From what I gather a good chunk of these guys don't have wives or girlfriends, most are in their twenties but not all. The guy in question is tall, good looking, a very hard worker and a very nice guy. He made it sound like he didn't expect to get a girlfriend anytime soon, and didn't really expect to meet one. I have also known military guys who basically just dropped out of society and traveled. Also nice dudes. And then there was all the gym bros who dropped out after the Tiktok gals started harassing people at the local gyms.
How many young guys have just dropped out of society? I mean, all the dudes I cited are fit, good looking dudes. Just gone. It's hard to tell with the red pill videos as a good chunk of those guys are salesman selling their product, but how bad is it really now? Especially post covid. How many men just dropped out altogether? I'm getting the impression from this anecdotal evidence that it's getting worse, as there is always guys who drop out... But the majority didn't used to be dudes in their prime who were fit and good looking.
The same is true in my neck of the woods. I run a business where most of the available jobs are entry-level customer service positions, and I exclusively hire locals (high school and college students) as opposed to fresh-off-boat pajeets who can't speak English, which is the norm in much of Canada now.
Many of the young guys I hire are smart, athletic, driven, eager to learn. Some have already given up when they're not yet 20 and I can't get anything out of them, but even the guys who are engaged have very little ambition beyond earning enough money to buy new games or pay for their own car. None of them have girlfriends. One kid earns as much money off of Tik Tok as he does working for me, and has "Social Media Influencer" as a career choice. The two smartest are enrolled in post secondary programs for graphic design and programming respectively; careers that prioritize solitude over social interaction, despite both being relatively extroverted, funny and easy to get along with.
This trend has become much more pronounced since the plandemic. I can now expect the level of maturity from an 18-year-old employee that I would have seen in a 15-year-old pre-2020, with very few exceptions. That applies mostly to males, as maturity is (being charitable) much harder to gauge in females.
I'm not sure how much worse it can get. Men, especially young men, need to feel like they belong to something. The need for validation is entirely secondary in the male psyche to the need to feel that your efforts have value: that the thing you're working to contribute to is a worthwhile endeavor. We just don't have that for them anymore. Much worse than the endless denigration and demonization of whiteness and maleness that goes on in their schools and in all of the media they consume is the feeling that there is absolutely nothing in their lives or communities that is actually worth their efforts.
It really does feel like something is about to give. It could be a reset button, something that makes large numbers of them suddenly feel engaged again. Or it could be the opposite. Something that gives them no choice but to release all of the pent-up frustration which at the moment takes the form of nihilism. I would strongly advise the regime not to try to implement another draft: certainly not for a foreign proxy war like Ukraine or Taiwan. I get the feeling that will end very badly.
Those pajeets are probaby going to get deported to India without the country's consent.
