This is the correct take.

The culture is manipulated by the economy. It always has been, with the exception of extremely religious societies.

The average millennial lives at home and cannot comfortably support a wife and three children in a household as people could before. https://twitter.com/heraclitean11/status/1307832402312597504

Pornography, SSRIs, propaganda... is the post facto bandaid to make existence tolerable enough that one does not suicide himself.

I’m a millennial and I don’t live at home. But our cohort is living like NEETs in record numbers. Cost of fake things to make you *feel* rich is low (phones, gadgets, video games). Cost of important things is high (house, education, family). It’s an illusion.

How did they get mothers and daughters to perform live sex shows in Weimar? Economy. The underlying culture didn’t change overnight.

Economy today incentivises a mode of living—but it’s much more insidious because you have the illusion of wealth, but no real wealth.

The only way to evade economic manipulation is to take a radical form of religion. You must totally reject materialism. But we are westerners and we are partially materialistic, and less and less spiritual. We are old enough to recall a higher living standard.

If you’re a woman the economics have afforded you the opportunity to create an only fans and, if you’re hot enough, potentially earn as much as a doctor. So what does she need a fella that works at a big box store for? He can’t support a family anyway.

He can have all of the latest video games. He can have a decent sized tv. But he may never own a house. He’s probably not educated and thus his earning potential is capped low. Or he’s paying student loans forever. It’s a bad situation for everyone. Men have it rough.

Women have it easier, materially, but they aren’t spiritually fulfilled in any capacity. They are left empty and longing. They miss their chance to be a woman. To fully experience it.

Men are going to have to start organising and demanding much more. They need to demand the means to support a family of three comfortably—even if that means a radical wage increase. I’m talking about the unskilled workers. Minimum wage.

Right wing Men need to be more socialist in their politics. Much more so.
