If we have another civil war, there won't be anything civil about it. They've been telling a generation of men they're subhuman trash for a decade, and they are going to ask these same men for mercy. Just like the movie civil war showed, I doubt mercy will be shown on any side, and I fully expect either mass exiles or mass purges to occur. Lefties cannot be reasoned with and the far right sees that and is acknowledging that reality. The central government is delegitimizing voting, which shows both sides that the only way to express is thru force. They are using the judiciary for political purposes which delegitimizes it. They are using the US Dollar as a weapon which had delegitimized it even to US allies such as India who is now trading in Yuan, Rupees and Ruble, not dollars. They're destroying every legacy system they have and acting like it's business as usual and acting like they're smart than everyone else. I have a Masters in Econ and I cannot believe the things they are doing. The US Government is smashing the windows in it's own house, slashing the tires on it's own car, ripping out the electrical wiring in it's own walls, and acting like it's normal. They haven't started pouring gasoline around the place yet, but I fully expect them to soon and then they'll start playing with matches. They're pushing diversity in major corporations qhich is destroying their productivity and marketing. Hollywood is pushing wokeness which is destroying the US propaganda machine. Other countries look at Hollywood like it's a joke as do American citizens. Evey system is breaking. US recruiting is at the lowest level it has ever been and falling.

Instead boomers use it to describe what millennial are suppose to do when they're faced with literally an impossible situation which is why more and more of them, the smartest who can see the equation clearly, are self deleting. He means well, but he provides no long term solutions to an obviously systemic problem where there simply is not enough opportunity. They polled American males age 16 to 36 about their American dreams and the majority said their dream is to LEAVE AMERICA. When every media system is telling saying, All men are rapists, women need men like a fish needs a bicycle, women treat men worse than you'd treat a stray Dog, and the systems themselves are designed to disenfranchise and destroy men. Why would they stay? We're going to start seeing brain drain as the best and brightest men leave america, and this guy is too much of a mid-wit to see it.

The average male h8tes anything that will create a healthy stable life for himself and others. Males are self destructing and want to take as many males they can with them. They don't actually want "solutions". The average male is entitled and is perfectly fine with women doing the work that they don't want to do. The average male proves they aren't leaders. They don't deserve a wife and children, because they don't like either and refuse to provide anything for them. Looking to other males as examples is usually pointless.

Thank you, gentlemen. As a divorced and childless Gen X man, I see my purpose on this planet is to help the younger people navigate this adventure and survive - hopefully thrive as well. That is why I am proud to teach at a community college. I've had many careers but most of them were selfish pursuits that were soulless. I've learned exponentially more from tragedies and failures than any successes. It has given me wisdom that has no value unless I share it. The young people who show up to learn at a community college need adults like us more than ever. For many of my students, I am one of the only truly gritty men in their lives. I don't just talk about service, I live it. I sacrifice daily to serve broke, young adults to the best of my ability. I take my roll very seriously and the thoughts you both share help me find clarity and to not feel so alone. Your honest heartfelt insights gave me a good boost on this sunny spring Saturday in 2024.

Such a relatable comment. I'm also a childless Gen X professor at a very working-class university. A handful of lovely long-term monogamous relationships somehow never led to making my own family. I used to think of teaching as a paycheck and way to fund my creative work. Now, I regard it more as a calling to serve, particularly when young people become ever more lost.

@BruderAdrian 16 днів тому

As a Zillennial, thank you! Although few men are courageous and selfless enough to take on the responsibility you have. I can equally say that I remember a few men & women who were my teachers and saw I needed guidance. Particularly a teacher who would buy me comic's in exchange for the completion of my coursework and good grades on tests. During that period of my life at home my parents fought all the time and my Dad wouldn't give me the time of day so I could tell him about what I learned at school. My macho Dad was also an alcoholic. Never once did anyone take interest in my proper development as a kid. Except for a few people. I learned almost everything myself, how to shave, ride a bike, swim, read, etc... into adulthood. it was because of those few people that I learned I was capable, capable enough to overcome challenges & learning obstacles and achieve my goals. Not going to lie though, most gen X males were macho - toxic masculinity type kind of men throughout my life like I remember this one college chemistry teacher who gaslighted me in front of the whole class. When I would raise my hand and asked questions. 1 time I asked about methane being a greenhouse gas and affecting the climate potentially. I found out He didn't like me and would put me down by lying to me and telling me Ihe didn't know what I was talking about and it didn't exist. He was gaslighting me at 19 and he was in his mid 40s. At the time I thought it was because I ask too many questions but now That I'm older in my late twenties. I realize it's because, I didn't fit his ideal of how a young man is supposed to be or look like and it threatened his ego. So he had to put me down and he didn't care if it was the expense of my education. Which was sad because he should have not been a professor holding a PHD & use it to feed his ego. It's crazy because he would say there's no such thing as stupid questions except for when I asked them. Please talk to other men your age. Toxic masculinity is a huge problem.

@@BruderAdrian There was a major shift in personality style between Gen X and Millenials. I am not saying it is right but a lot of what Millenials take as Gen X being mean or disliking them is just the way Gen X, men in particular, talk,. I am at the younger edge of Gen X and I had older Gen X and Boomers as college professors and they were all like that at the beginning of every semester. They were pushing your buttons, trying to push you out of the childhood high school mindset. They were always much nicer and more like friends by the end of the semester when the class that had started out as 60 - 70 was whittled down to ~15 students. That's why they did it. They knew that 3/4 of the class was going to say it was too hard and quit. Pushing on you to see if you'll stand up for yourself is just a Boomer & Gen X personality trait. They really aren't doing it out of malice but I get it that they should recognize that the generations don't behave the same...well to be fair, Gen Z really doesn't have any qualms about standing up, but again different generations. I stopped arguing with my Gen Z daughter when she was around 17 because she is far more ruthless than I am.

Scott is truly a one of one.

Scott is a role model that many of us should aspire to emulate and be more like.

I have somehow gotten sucked into the r/GenZ thread on Reddit and it is full of GenZ "men". I am 49, so it feels weird to me to call them men, but they are in their mid-twenties now, so they are men. That thread is heartbreaking and frustrating because it is almost exclusively GenZ men, no GenZ women, and they are absolutely miserable. For whatever reason, the Reddit algorithm continuously puts it in front of Gen X, so there are a fair amount of Gen X men & women in that thread at any given time, genuinely trying to understand what went wrong, and why these guys are so freaking depressed in their 20s. For Gen X as a collective, our 20s were the peak of hedonistic bliss. The problem seems to be the difference in perspectives on life. GenX did a LOT of f**ing up in our 20s but we didn't have any "rules" telling us that we had squandered our entire lives and we were going to die destitute and alone. Gen Z is the opposite, the overarching problem is the massive amount of rules they have for EVERYTHING. They have set up 1000 ways to fail in even the most mundane tasks because they have a right way for everything. If something happens and they don't hit one of these thousands of completely arbitrary benchmarks, that's it, it's all over, you pissed it away and there is no hope. There is no convincing them that they could be happy if they would stop judging each other and themselves and just live, embrace the best they can do for right now to pay the bills and keep pushing toward their passion. My dream was always to be a writer. I didn't break into writing and turn it into a career until I was in my late 30s. Between graduating high school and achieving my dream I was a stripper, a bartender, and a veterinary surgical tech. I was an alcoholic, and you could probably say, drug addict at various points along the way too. It never crossed my mind that any of those things should preclude me from being a writer one day, and they didn't. I also raised a daughter by myself. She is GenZ but she doesn't buy into the benchmarks and rules. At 26 years old she has graduated nursing school, worked as a nurse, decided she hated it, joined the military (over my protests - I am much further left than my daughter), and quit the military because she hates rules as much as I do (I knew that one would be short-lived), got married, bought a house, had two children and is loving being a stay at home mom, and writing for a couple commercial blogs online. She has no idea what she wants to do for a profession but she has a paying job, her husband has a solid blue-collar job that pays their bills. I am not worried about her.

Too bad the U.S. government clearly does not adequately value public education as slews of kids go by the wayside and then turn into aimless, despondent adults. It's baffling to me how little we as Americans, and humans, really, undervalue the concept of cultivation. Cultivating young minds, creativity and critical thinking, hell, even in a literal sense nature, helpful infrastructure, etc.... it's like, once a human has achieved some modicum of success, the part in their brain that is like, "Hey, we ought to help and support others-" just... turns OFF.

@gorkyd7912 3 дні тому

@@tweex1 I don't think that's quite right. We really really do value cultivating the next generation. Politicians and media have spent all of my lifetime talking about how they're investing in children, kids are the future, etc. And every parent is perfectly willing to put themselves through 20+ years of suffering so their kids can have a brighter future. The problem is we're being scammed. We're outsourcing all of the education to "experts" based on what we're told is their past performance. But the experts are not really experts in anything, they're just academics. And then the experts are further handicapped by the administrative assemblies that have cropped up around them to usurp all these free money we're pouring into our kids, to the point that actual teachers and educators get a tiny bit of the total and the rest goes to administrators, massive building projects, pet research, and especially SPORT BALL.

Man, I think of how lucky I was to have an early boomer Dad (b 1949) and that I was born so late (1995). I just let him lead me, he was always there and gave me great advice. He's been gone for 5 years now, but his lessons are constantly there. He was firm but kind, and that combination just made it so that I could tackle just about any hardship even after he was gone. He gave me tasks not for labor but to show that I was needed despite being by far the youngest. I never felt like a burden I felt valued through the work he assigned and talking to him after it was over with a meal and a beer are memories I'll never forget.

ever since i was a little girl and saw how horribly my male peers both treated each other, and the girls (including me) in their lives while growing up ive always hoped that one day guys would wake up and stop trying to be like their fathers and grandfathers so much. Its not so much that they are men, but the men from past generations are typically not men you want to look up to. The cycle of abuse is an incredibly easy one to fall into, i imagine its even easier for males to fall into it when they live in a society that is designed from top to bottom to trick them with their own insecurities and desires. what more people need to understand is that even if you find yourself a part of that cycle, its never too late to try and better yourself. When men are taught emotions and empathy are weakness, it tricks them into ignoring their own unconscious needs, and when they arent taught how to cope with emotions they also do not fully understand, its easy to fall victim to unhealthy coping mechanisms. Sadly, that cycle takes some to violence. Women are not immune to that as well, but in western society we’ve throughout the decades have spent plenty of time ridiculing feminine traits that regurgitating anything that’s been said would be stale. Men havent really had to self reflect in this way before, i think its partially due to the internet.

@joeladams8506 24 дні тому

I joined the military right out of high school. Served for four years in 3rd Ranger Battalion. Got out, went to school at Colorado State University. Dropped out after half a semester and proceeded to blow all of my money on a joy ride around the US for a couple months. I remember looking down at my bank account one day and realizing I had about one more month of partying before the show ended. I recognized I basically had no money, I had some cool stories from the army and a few good friends, and due to my background in the infantry I had essentially no marketable skills, employment opportunities or dating prospects. At that moment I was faced with a choice - go back to school, which I hated the sound of, or rejoin the army and crawl back to my unit with my tail between my legs, which I hated the sound of even more. So I went back to school. I’m a year away from graduating now with a specialization in regenerative agriculture and permaculture design and I’m planning on attending a Master’s level program for landscape architecture in the fall of 2025. The journey from that moment of realization to now has been the most challenging, yet equally rewarding experience of my life. And everything these two are saying is true fellas. Once you get your shit together and have a vision for your life (that’s the big one - know where you’re going, and why) you will be tripping over high quality women. It’s sort of a sad state of affairs that simply having your shit together puts you in the top 10% of young men, but that’s where we are. There’s literally no excuses that are worth listening to. Get in shape, map out a vision for your life, and make meaningful progress towards your goals. If you want to go a step further find a way to connect with a higher power, get sober, and find a sense of purpose in service to the world. You’re only alive for 100 years at best. That means you have roughly 80 years to make the world as beautiful as possible for your children and grandchildren. The playbook for success right now is exceedingly simple, the hard part is simply making the choice to change your life and following through with that choice through your free will decisions everyday.

I find his statement that when men lose a father that is the single point of failure. I find that it's a double edged sword. Usually because 1. lack of male role model, duh, but 2. hard dynamics with women, particularly mothers. I was in an odd position because I had divorced parents but even time with mom and dad. And it was 100% my mom that fucked me up. My dad may not have helped me grow to success but he atleast didn't harm me. It was my mom that failed me. And I find a lot, a LOT of broken dejected men have really awful atrocious experiences with their mom.

"The most dangerous person in the world is man that is broken and alone" - This is incredibly topical at the moment, especially down here in Australia after we had a stabbing from a male at a shopping centre targeting women. Something that needs to be looked at more.

There are a lot of women out there who have done everything within their power to try to be partners to these men. They push everything away. My husband and I have been best friends since we were 14 years old. We are 49 now. He had a string of bad luck. It was no big deal. I am a writer and make more than enough to support us. I told him it is not like he is sitting at home and I am going out and breaking my back working. I work from home whenever I want. But, he has spiralled into someone I don't know anymore. He has regressed back to a 15 year old. There is no convincing him that this path leads nowhere good especially when you are months away from 50 years old.

I'm turning 50 this June. When I was 43 I left good paying job in my country and moved from Europe to China. When I was 46 I found my new career and mastered it and in return it gave me all the freedom I wanted. Financial and physical. No office, no timezone, no bosses, no clients. To all you young guys out there, keep on fighting. Life is tough but can be beautiful. And it is constant struggle. It never gets easier. You gotta keep on grinding. Work on yourself. Workout, find some passion, create a business. Push yourself. And when you think nothing is going your way light will appear and you will break through. Don't give up on yourself even if everyone has given up on you. Take chances, don't waste time and do not blame others. You have the keys to your destiny.

@@treygraphicsfte6747 No, I was there in 2016 for a month working on a freelance project. It was weird experience and I was just waiting to leave but funny thing happened when I was leaving. On the airport I got a gut feeling telling me that this wasn't an experience I hoped for and why don't I try to come back and find a job there. I gave it a thought when I came back home and said why not. 6 months later I found an ad on LinekedIn and I applied and out of some 50 people I got the job. Moved there in July 2017. Was working as a creative director in media company. First 4 years until 2020 were fabulous. I had great friends and we had so much fun. Then covid came and by accident I watched a documentary about bitcoin. Decided to invest some 5kUSD. That was the first time I got introduced to trading financial assets. Instantly fell in love with it. Then in one day I lost all that money because I didn't know what I was doing. Then the journey of learning started and it took me 3 years to figure it out. I do not trade bitcoin anymore. I trade mostly forex. I am still in China but will leave end of this year. Plan to open my own prop trading firm in Dubai. Low taxes. China was fun but it changed. Not so fun anymore. Much less foreigners than before. It was huge life experience. Thankful for it but time to move on.

This is absolutely brilliant podcast! I can relate as a citizen who came from abroad (legally) 18 years ago (I'm 40 years old now) with $400 in a pocket. However after this is insane grind I still feel like this "great wealth transfer" is outpacing me. Which prevents me from ability to provide much needed "safety" to actually support a family, therefor I'm walking alone and absolutely hate it! It is a tough race indeed. Even though I'm educated, well versed, fit and understand this economics well in depth, once this insane printing had began i knew middle class which i was, will be wiped. Last 4 years all im trying to do is figure out how to beat it and come ahead. Thank you for what you doing.

yes being a 'member' of the top 10% economically (what galloway focused on) extends beyond just men's issues .. the top 1% controls 20% of the wealth and the next 9% controls 60% for a total of 80% .. leaving just 20% for the 'bottom' 90% of us .. and no radical change in policy to help men will change that fact .. and as long as that exists women will not lower their 'standards' and men will struggle .. the correlation between economics and the 50% divorce rate is clear and we see that those at the top have much lower rates because their lives are easier ..

I was able to love and care for them yet I could not teach them what it means to be a man. Luckily my husband and I have a solid marriage of over 30 years and he’s there for them in ways I can’t be. You have me thinking of how I can help support young men more and help women understand and support them better as well. Thank you.

Are you all just so enthralled with this male that you forget that males are K--illing women at alarming rates? Or that s8xual abuse increases with males in the home? In fact, abuse of women and children largely happens at the hands of males in their homes! Let's hold the tears for these failing males for a moment to realize that this a patriarchy. It has, only a few decades ago, restricted women's rights to have bank accounts, buy homes, or own anything without a male. The problem is males. They refuse to adapt, to change, to work on themselves, or to serve others (all things women and everyone else has to learn to do).
