H-Haha, yeah, browsing /r9k/ for hours sure is a blast! It more than makes up for the scorching damnation we call the daily grind.

And her you will continue to fight over scraps because of "hope". We're at the point that were only creating around jobs for 25% of the upcoming working age population. It's amazing how we're still in an age of stability. Add that now females can have 100s of instances of male validation. Imagine if you had a percent of that, would you remain humble?

Then kill yourself because mind altering substances are the only reason for continued existence if you think what the OP thinks, or you're not an extrovert normalfag. Nothing else will bring you anything close to the same level of joy.
>>28857788
The idea still stands that with effort you could prove yourself and achieve things, even during the depression you could still raise a family with some basic agriculture, trading and cooperating with a community.
Nowadays you're just straight up on your own with set constraints that as long as there isn't a worldwide revolution you'll never break out from, I don't even think we can call it capitalism anymore considering independent achievement is dead.

nope 1880 to 1960 to 70s it was actually a good time to be a man.
NEETs are superior to wagecucks in every conceivable way. A town whose population is comprised solely of wagecucks would be so shaken by the arrival of even a single NEET overlord it's nothing short of astonishing.
Just imagine, it's a nice sunny Sunday afternoon, imagine the bustle of this 100% wagecuck town till suddenly NEET bulls triumphantly march in. Women would feel infinitely more attraction to these superior, unenslaved NEETs than their pathetic wageslave hubbies. Every woman would be begging, grovelling to be impregnated by these overlords, the new kings of the town, who earned this position with nothing but their superior presence. And these bulls wouldn't stop until every girl was carrying their children, the wagecuck's women's original children would probably be neglected. Who the fuck would want to raise these inferior children with their wageslave genes? They're only going to turn out like their fathers, mindless cogs in a machine whose sole purpose is to chew wagecucks up till no juice is left, then spit them out, all for the benefit of the clearly superior NEETs.
And the wagecucks? They'd flee, realizing how futile their attempts at winning back their wives' attraction would be, to Japan where they'd try to win over FAS looking ugly Jap girls, the only things disgusting, lonely, and brainwashed by the ubiquitous glorification of wagecuckoldry enough to accept them. Many would be rejected after the Japs hear of their shameful display; Japs probably would have killed themselves to avoid the shame.
Back home in the once wagecuck town, every woman would be raising their superior NEET children and queuing up for their second or maybe even third pregnancy. They wouldn't stop until they hit menopause as they'd know deep down their purpose is to populate the world with superior NEET bulls who'd then move on to proselytize the superiority of the unenslaved to the enslaved in other wagecuck towns.
Face it, wagies. You're but servants to your NEET masters.
You can still have tons of fun you stupid asshole. Just got to let go of the idea that the point to existence is that traditional american white picket fence shit. Or that there really is any point to existence. Make your own meaning, make your own fun. I'm 24, working a shit job, living with the parents, and can't get laid but I'm still having a blast most of the time, and have been ever since I let go of the old ideas of what is expected of me. I do literally anything I want, as I don't have things like a girlfriend, social stigma, debt, whatever holding me back. I want to break into that building? Doing it. I want to go day drinking? Cool. I want to start working on that album today? Fuck yeah, I have time for that since I don't have some vapid gf sucking up my time. Learn to juggle? Hell yeah, looking that shit up right now! Your problem is that you are letting the old ways hold you back and failing to see the positive, which is probably why you can't get a gf, but thats another rant.
AHAHAHAHAHA
Hell no
You losers would be known as weird old "uncle Anon" or simply squares
No gal wanted an overly emotional nancy boy who probably stutters like you fellows

Yes and yes.
Related: I live next door to a shitty crackhouse type-place in the city that rents to spics and niggers. Yesterday morning, someone took it upon themselves to start mowing their ridiculous little lawn in the back, a minute patch maybe twenty feet square (I heard it and it was a pleasant awakening). Then some rain started, and whoever was doing it literally stopped halfway, to get out of the rain. leaving two unfinished, far shaggier squares in the middle.
The thing that no black or hispanic man would ever allow to be done to his own personal haircut - leave a middle part looking all stupid - that same thing was allowed to happen to this lawn, because getting wet for five minutes is a fate worse than death. No statistically significant sample of white men, working-class, middle-upper or otherwise, who had actually committed to the short task with albeit poor timing, /would have allowed the task to remain unfinished for want of five more minutes of getting wet/. He might take a break for a half-hour to see what the weather would do, but he would (barring mental deficiency) not be able to live with himself, leaving a tiny patch of lawn half-done, looking all stupid.
I'm sure it'll stay uneven like that for another year.
>>28860998
This, white men will always be more prideful than intelligent.
And the demand on men is obscene. Men are expected these days to be extroverted and you will be publically shamed if you aren't hyper social in school and the workplace or even just performing everyday tasks in public. Men are expected to be little more than women.
>>28861033
Yes, that's it. It makes total sense that, once you've decided to work up a little sweat and get dirty in the first place, that you should abandon the dirty uncomfortable work that you're doing, because a little rain comes up... which would make you a little more dirty and uncomfortable.
It is intelligent and logical to abandon your chore halfway through, so you can do the remaining five minutes of work when it's sunny, days or perhaps a year later, and get dirty in peace, without the threat of a little rain getting you all wet and dirty.
It is also true that brown men are generally intelligent and not prideful. You wrote a very good post.

Many people with rocks can beat a few with swords or even guns, but the disparity and growth of hidden countermeasure instruments is beyond exponential.
It just might be that through the power of information, the technology that derives from it and the entire science of walls that serve to obscure it from the masses we have created the destruction of the human being and will return to archaic tribal structure where the elite rule with terrifying weapons that seem like magic to us and we would have absolutely no way of fighting it or returning to how things used to be.

>>28861431
It's never happened before. Unless you count slaves as citizens. The life of a modern western person is closer to an ancient Roman slave rather than a ancient Roman citizen.
>>28857652

and it's just harmless shit, like the very website we're posting on

>>28857710
Yeah because the 20th century was awesome! Rampant crime and murder, lethal diseases and illnesses with little practical medication, general low quality of life, a slew of inconveniences fixed by the modern age, a gap in wealth and power worse than today.
Be fucking lucky you even have the option to waste your life away eating instant meals and browsing the internet all day. Youd be out stacking bricks and ruining your bones or working the field if this was the 20th century. Ungrateful ignorant cunt
>>28861779
You're joking, right? Do you seriously compare yourself, someone who sees a rudimentary forum website built by a 14 year old as difficult to create, to secret elite teams funded with dozens upon dozens of millions of dollars?
And 1000 years for a decent AI? 1000? Are you fucking retarded?
