To think there was a time when the SNP were referred to as "Tartan Tories."
But you couldn't get nearly as many ads on that page.
Gee what a surprise.
You are also talking to someone who isn't me.
All I'm doing is trying to explain the reasons why more and more young men aren't dating and aren't starting families. If you genuinely think there aren't enough men in that situation to make a difference to the future, then you're not paying attention.
You can't offer the same bullshit advice over and over again without addressing the underlying causes for why the social contract broke down to begin with. Gen X and even the Millennials, my generation, are not off the hook for letting that happen.
Telling the men who've inherited that broken contract to man up and go find a woman anyway is just not going to make a difference, and telling the increasing numbers of single, childless men that you don't care about them if they don't start a family is also not going to do anything but reinforce their alienation, and accelerate our societal decline.
Once again, I'm not in that situation myself. I just empathize with young men who are, which you clearly don't.
You can bitch all you want about the men who've given up being the ones who've taken the safe and easy path, but I think that's you. From atop your towering sense of paternalistic superiority you wag an admonishing, or shall I say nagging, finger at the men who've escaped into porn and video games, not as a preference, but as a last resort. And all the while you refuse to acknowledge the role your own generation of men, and the ones who came before you, played in creating the problem that you now insist it's up to the next generation to deal with.
You seem to be imputing a lot on to me without knowing anything about my situation.
Millennial and zoomer women certainly have spent their lives being coddled and spoiled. Young men, not so much.
Despite what you seem to believe, I'm not in a situation where I'm looking for a relationship with a woman, nor am I attempting to throw a "pity party" for myself. However, unlike you, I do possess enough societal awareness to understand that the solution you are offering is entirely unrealistic.
You are certainly right about encouraging young men to take steps to improve themselves. But if you think that mitigates the minefield that is the modern dating environment, you are wrong. Self-improvement for its own sake is a positive goal, but it doesn't change the fact that in any modern social interaction between a woman and a man, the woman has all the power, and all of the institutional backing. That situation is too risky for any man, regardless of how confident or competent he is.
The fact is that young men, deprived of father figures or any other positive masculine role models and having spent their lives being shamed, bullied and cajoled, perpetually reminded of their shortcomings and failures, endlessly harangued by men and women both about their responsibility to clean up a societal mess that they didn't make, are increasingly disengaged and apathetic. Your proposed solution is to continue trying to motivate them in the same ways that have led to that outcome. You're beating a dead horse.
Well since we've descended into personal diatribes, I sincerely hope your own sons, if you have any, don't end up much worse off than simply alone because you chose, once again, to lecture them about their responsibilities and shame them into stepping on a land mine without ever bothering to try and understand that the relationship model which worked for you is no longer applicable.
As for all the other young men whom you hope to convince of their "civilizational imperative," the callousness, arrogance and self-indulgence of your arguments will serve only to further alienate them and drive them even further into isolation and apathy. Young men are increasingly sick of being lectured, shamed and bullied, both by women and by men like you who refuse to listen.
Bullying, to the extent that it has a societal function, only works on those, like women, who have spent their lives being coddled and indulged. It is much less effective against those who have already spent their entire lives being bullied. You're not going to solve this problem with the stick.
Being alone is preferable to being homeless, unemployed or in prison because some crazy cunt took offence at your raw temerity in asking her out or even just looking at her.
You want young men to "participate in the future" as you put it? Start holding women accountable for their behavior, instead of constantly bullying, lecturing and haranguing men about how they're not living up to their responsibilities.
Apparently so is the bus. So is the sidewalk. So are dating apps, if you are in any category other than the best-looking and highest achievers. Doesn't leave much.
Once again, it's not that simple. The reason I left the above comment in this thread is that this poster, and the sentiment behind it, perfectly encapsulate the absolute minefield that modern dating and social norms have become for men. Especially young men.
I'm sure most of the gaming-addicted, porn-addicted young men who spend their time alone, alienated and isolated would absolutely prefer to be able to be in a healthy relationship, and wouldn't even mind risking a few rejections in order to find one, but as this poster clearly illustrates, that is not all they're risking.
Is it worth risking your job, your reputation, your freedom or whatever friendships you might currently have in order to put yourself out there, when any woman you do ask out might accuse you of sexual assault for just having the nerve to speak to her? Secure, when she does so, in the knowledge that she can ruin a man's life with complete impunity because the previous generations of men were such a collection of spineless, simping cowards that they offered up no resistance or pushback as feminism conquered every institution in our society.
If you watch the video to the end, you might be pleasantly surprised.
TL;DW Paul explains how young men are not, in fact, useless. Or at least not any more useless than the preceding generations of men who destroyed the society that young men have inherited.
Oh but it's totally the responsibility of the basement-dwelling porn-addicted man-children to get off their fat asses and go ask women out. Their fear of interacting with women in any social situation just makes them a bunch of pussies. They need to man up and get out there. The dating market and social norms haven't changed since I was their age. They're just faggots for not chasing pussy or trying to start families.

Trannies aren't the only ones whose pedophilic tendencies KF has exposed. They've don the same with some other, pretty influential people.
The crazy eyes transcend gender.
Some advice to all the guys: If a woman ever looks at you with eyes like these, throw water on her and she'll melt.
Well in that context then it's the fault of Tucker Carlson and Josh Hawley, and all the other men of their generation and previous ones who folded up like a cheap suit in the face of the feminist movement as it infiltrated every institution from education to the courts. To extoll young men to take the kind of insane risks they're being asked to take here, with their livelihoods, their reputations, their very freedom, in order to try and clean up the mess made by the men who came before them is the very opposite of positive advice.
Typical tradcuck simping. It's always on men to fix the problem. Christ forbid we should ask women to take responsibility.
I'm not sure many of us are really into AI art so much as we're into laughing at mediocre leftist "artists" throwing shitfits because an algorithm can surpass their creative capabilities and their grift is in jeopardy.
Akio Toyoda did not commit seppuku.
Yo listen up, here's a story
About a little dude
That lives in a blue world
And all day and all night
And everything he sees is just blue
Like him outside and inside.
Probably trying to flush out some more bots. If they're tracking the timeline of engagement with this, it might help identify not just individual bots, but entire botnets based on when they vote.
No, Britain needs the Falklands as a last-ditch place for all the white English to escape to.
Do we still have those?
