Do you think someone who digs ditches should be able to afford a house and have a family?

Its better in the long run, BY FAR, to take care of the stupid people that provide the bottom layer of labor the entire country runs on instead of treating them like subhuman trash and paying them slave wages because "unskilled" can be done by anyone. It cant.

Ditches are a pretty damn important part of infrastructure. The ditchdigging MUST be done. If you pay so little you cant get an 80iq american to do it, Youll have to import someone and when the ditches are done for the season he'll rape your kids and get a DUI.

But war is horrible! You could die violently!? You could live another fifty years watching all beauty stripped from the world and being humiliated daily as you work miserable jobs never achieving your potential. Then die anyway across 5-10 years of bed-shitting cancer.

amazing how being given a clear and singular purpose focuses the mind body and spirit

Except it's not actually about economic pressure, not really. Calories are cheaper than ever. One could theoretically obtain an iron-age tier way of life with 1/100th of the effort iron-age people expended for the same thing. It's actually about regulations and status games -- and how they work together. In lieu of actual scarcity, we have psyched ourselves out into a simulacrum of scarcity by endlessly revising the list of things that are considered "necessary for life," and have moreover shaped the moral authority of the state to enforce these ever-changing (and very costly) standards. Because though calories are cheap and basic building supplies are plentiful, it'd be social suicide to live an "iron age lifestyle" with 8 kids. Your living structure would be illegal, your living standards would justify a CPS investigation and possible abduction of your children, and every single person around you would condemn you as a lunatic. Eventually, even if you could avoid these fates -- your kids may very well disavow you and opt not to repeat your way of living. These days, to have children you are "supposed" to be spending a lot of money on a suite of recently-invented technologies, behaving exactly as your neighbors behave, and presumably working constantly to finance this incredibly expensive social status game. The sum total of building codes, immense social pressure to conform, ever-changing 'rules' about what is necessary for life, infinite consumerism, wide-latitude child welfare policies, and a few other distinctly modern factors have created SIMULATED scarcity that is far more intense than any iron-age peasant ever felt or knew. Only countercultural minority groups will make it through this bottleneck. I'd even dare to say that if you even slightly care about "keeping up with the Joneses" your bloodline is probably not gonna make it through the next century or so.

Women taking hormones(birth control) and Xanax are loud asf and retarded. No one wants to talk about it but it’s true. Bunch of Xanax zombie, Zoloft retards out there. Prepare accordingly.

I think it's cool how the US has the right to free speech unless a judge says you can't talk about how the system is colluding to assrape you and then all of a sudden those rights no longer exist.

Staying up late watching food pile trail cam videos

As a Southerner who loves his people and the region, he is right. The South used to be the height of elegance, dignity and nobility in America and it’s been driven to cultural suicide, resulting in squatted, wiggerized pickup trucks and hillbilly hip hop.

One of my favorite videos of all time

So is pop music essentially a revival of medieval music?

Those types of parents are best left behind. They actually slow your development. You learn a lot faster without them around to make you feel bad Seriously if this is your dad, get far away fast. I mean it

I just remember the amount of tool throwing rage my father would get to if I didn't figure things out fast enough. After a while it became "He doesn't want to teach, I don't want to learn." If it weren't for my grandfather and my one friends dad I'd know next to nothing.

I think its cause when you don't have some people micromanaging you, then you realize you know what to do, at least if your not new. But when someone's always over your shoulder, you start doubting yourself or making things more complicated than they need to be.

12 generations or 4000 people made choices that led to you being here and left you with nothing. How is it that 99% of us are all in this situation? Where does all the wealth go? wtf are we even doing if it all disappears in a few generations…

It’s genuinely sad that modern tech has ruined the genetics of every race on the planet. Would have been cool to visit a country and have it be the actual natives there. And I do mean every country

This just in People say they think one thing when in reality, they only think it and don’t actually believe it but will choose to say they do anyways

It’s annoying when your life sucks and someone comes along and tries telling you it’s because you aren’t thinking or trying hard enough to make it good Like life cant just suck and have nothing to do about it. Of course even in bad situations you can have slivers of joy but cmon

Why do people care so much about people still doing x or y years after it was popular?
