This whole video gives off a stench of pretentious waste with the whole "look like you zoomers have it so fucking tough, huh?" without giving any sort of advice as to how to actually fix what's wrong other than "go outside." Maybe there's a few interesting points scattered about, but the underlying message just goes back to to the same bullshit generational wars.

Also, I'm not the most highly-skilled zoomer on the planet, but I'm fairly certain I could hold myself up a lot more than what this guy says I can, or more specifically can't, do.

Why on Earth is eSports a thing on college campuses?! There is an eSports studio within the weights section of the gym at my university. I don't understand it, it is so pathetic.

Related to this post, how can I take this person seriously when he shows a clip of Jordan Peterson? Does anyone actually take what anything these people say to heart?
yes. the sad thing is that for a lot of people their understanding of psychology and philosophy comes from pseudes on the internet like Dr. Peterson. No matter your stance on the political actions Peterson has taken, he's still sub par in terms of philosophy. Save from the christian theology (which is, depending on prior beliefs, not intellectually valuable), the dude is just an academic with a youtube channel. literally any punk on this board, given some time, could be twice the intellectual Peterson is.

I don't even need to watch the video to say:

Blaming shit on other generations is weak. Fuck you if you think generational divide has any real meaning.
I completely agree. Generational bullshit is just agism that marketers rely on to exploit populations. It's just that divide and conquor fascist bullshit.

Late zoomer. Most zoomers here are mostly in their 20s.

I'm in the process of doing that. Thing is that I figured out none of the IRL friendships I had were real. So I'm going on a trip throughout Europe, alone.

Isn't Europe just a graveyard of souls who don't care for each other? I know that Europeans love to boast being better than the United States but there a lot of research and studies that prove otherwise. However, this is not meant to discourage you from going. If you can manage to develop friendship there, good on you.

Actually, Europe not being as compassionate as the US itself reminds me of the "European Syndrome" that was mentioned in the civil society video by political juice of which I have posted a video of it in another thread for another but similar subject entirely.

Somewhat. The most noticeable problem I have found is their inability to socialize with their peers in "meatspace". But this is just for the zoomers personally, but you can unwind a lot of informations from thing alone.

I have found that a lot zoomers "lack balls" - their self-worth is very low thanks to social media, and they dont trust themselves enough. I have met a lot of insanely talented zoomers, but the plague that is social media stomped their self-image into the ground and they think they are worthless. This causes a positive feedback loop.
They will try less often, meaning they will see less good results that would improve their self-image, meaning they will try even less. This spirals out of control into the nihilistic worldview.

Second thing, because the zoomers are so dependant on their safe-spaces on the internet for positive affirmation, they socialize less and less. Even through we live in an era where everyone is "closer" to each another, ironically this has isolated us even more.

Removing the majority of social media and a fuckton of meme pages (this one was really important) while focusing on those few friendships that there truly are helped me out tremendously.

I won't lie that while social media and the internet itself is a great form of communications between peoples, it has been a detriment to most people's mental health. There's certainly tons of devs, especially the ones from Facebook who'd tell you that they had to program the site to be the equivalent of taking drugs and even so when you find out that their founders and CEO place limits on their children when they use their tablets and phones. Messed up I know but unfortunately that's how many social media platforms, even the ones form the 2000s like myspace are no different than Facebook.

As for people in general (Not just an issue with our generation) lacking the balls to stand for themselves and having bleak outlook. I honestly believe that is not on the blame of social media platforms but rather the many progressive or "left-wing" groups and movements instead. You know; Social Justice, Political Correctness, Double Standards, and Radical Feminism... Shit that you'd just laugh at and watch their shitty arguments and emotion fly like monkey flinging shit at each other on channels like Sargon of Akkad for example back from 2013 to 2015 really.

Sadly, however it was during those years did these movements actually began to grow like a plague and started threating various businesses and schools/Colleges to conform or face certain legal actions or violence. Sure, there was resistance but after hearing stories of these people being mobbed in colleges or chanted down and kicked out, basically their lives being destroyed at the hands of these marauding losers with no purpose in their lives; it really begins to seep into the minds of people and to some not in a good away. Fear, paranoia, anxiety... Stuff like that would causing people to lose chase with bad habits such as blocking people you don't agree with and so forth, yeah that's just a recipe for disaster further fueling emotional reactions.

And what you get at the end of the day is a rise of depression and a cynical view of the world and life not only because a bunch of people had apparently made it so where it feels all alienating and impossible to communicate with another but made it make sure that YOU'RE of what's wrong with the world and totally not the emotionally driven and meat for brains folks that forced society to a breaking point. Doesn't help that these days every event and issue feel like a knee jerk reaction of a knee jerk reactions nearly 10 years ago when it comes to countering or "resisting" newer generations of ideologues causing some to basically disconnect themselves completely with reality, also creating a feedback loop itself entirely really. It's no wonder why many people have seemed to "lack balls" these days and why they'd prefer to be given up forms of liberty for the safety of themselves which in the eyes of Benjamin Franklin; deserve neither.

some of the smarter, more aware ones have looked at the economic situation atm and concluded that they'll never own a house or anything of value so they spend all their money on take out and frying their brain with drugs.

They don't sound smart to me if they think it's futile to attempt to encourage people to become aware of the policies and regulations being passed being the detriment to the market economy at ALL! :LaughHard:

I've been aware of the housing issue since my early teens. The only conclusion I have reached is to run. Run away from modern society entirely. I'm going to get some basic construction skills and try and find people with access to land who are interested in the idea. Construct small houses out in some rural area with some amount of self-sustaining agriculture. That's the only way I could seriously have a child (let alone multiple).

Okay I get why you think making friends in Europe is a good idea but let me be fucking real to you now. "Running away" from "modern society" is just plain childish. What sense of accomplishment or satisfaction are you gonna get from moving to bum fuck out of nowhere and building a house? Even the rural folks living there will question your decision because unfortunately and this going to be the case of every rural town you go to; there's not much to do out there other than being online or having to commute to a city for job purposes which is counterproductive in trying to "get away" from "modern society".

Also, by the way, agriculture is not easy, its time consuming and would cost you tons of money if you plan on not only buying land but also buying the necessary equipment in order to properly farm and even if you make a "self-sustaining" community you'd be closing yourselves out from basic trade with other towns and cities because your contempt towards "modern society" the community is already dead before it even started. No not even if you have children.

Seriously, stop putting your head in clouds because it's no different than whatever "modern society" is doing because this is not how the world works at all. If you really want to live off grid, do it, buy an acre of land in Maine, but only because you're interested of living off-grid. Not because you want to rebuild society in your own eyes just because you don't like the people living in our current society. My lord did the internet warped your perceptions on things hasn't it?

I barely watch Peterson but I know he's only popular because he comes across as an antithesis to the current popular beliefs and ideologies currently being held by most academics in universities. That's it really. Though it is a stretch to say some business men are deliberately trying to market off the outrage between generations because I have not seen commercials or products that advertises to such masses.

I know it's wierd for Americans because European countries are so tiny but lumping all of Europe together is a big mistake I see Americans do a lot. In the US, you can drive 3 hours and not even leave a state. If I were to drive three hours south west I would pass the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium and France. Every time the way the people talk and the houses and roads look would change a alot and that's only the superficial stuff. Like Germany and Netherlands are neighbours but just crossing the border is immediately noticable because everything just looks different.

And so are our cultures. Spaniards are different from Poles who are different from the Dutch again. French and Germans are very different culturally. Swedes and Denmark completely hate each other.
It really really depends where you are. You could make some general statements about eastern/western/southern/northern Europe but then again that would still be more superficial.

And to get to the "graveyard of Souls thing". It's more of a big cities vs. rural thing as an American vs. Europe thing if you ask me. Haven't been to the US yet but I can imagine it's the same, just because of the conditions of heavily urbanised areas comoared to less populated rural towns and villages.
Here in Germany at least I found a great community with my neighbors. We help each other, everyone knows each other, we BBq together in the summer etc.
In the city you probably don't even know who your neighbor is.

I mean personally it's a force of habit and really having to name all of the nationalities in Europe is just an outright waste of time. So I apologize of generalizing everyone over there but again; force of habit.

Peterson is good if you're a young person with no goals or feeling lost in life. I watched his videos and read two of his books, and a lot of the advice, like how important it is to have responsibility and being appreciative; is genuinely beneficial to a lot of people out there. However, I disagree with him on many topics such as his stances on the Canadian trucker situation and Covid related issues; but you will only see circlejerking of opinions in his Youtube comment section praising his views. Ironic when there's an entire chapter in Beyond Order about rejecting and denouncing ideology.

I can see why you'd do that if you don't live here and just look over and then also see stuff like the EU (fuck the EU btw.)
Then again Germans do the same with the US even though I am sure west and east coast are very different or Texas vs. Oregon or so.

I like Peterson, I also like most of what Carl Benjamin set up with his podcast.
I'm not a total fanboy but I generally agree more than I disagree with what they say.
I don't understand neither the total fanboyism nor the blind hate. I don't think I ever saw someone I 100% agreed with on everything. only a clone of mine would fit that description.
So you just pick and choose the people where your agreement goes to 60-90% when looking for content like this I suppose.

Outside of that political commentary sphere I don't think one even needs to agree at all.
Hell, my best friend and me disagree about almost everything politically but our shared interests and non political values like loyalty and humour align very closely and that's way more important.

Well I'm not American. I'm British and that already counts as European. And the French girls I've met kinda disprove the idea that all Europeans are cold and indifferent.

And I agree, who cares if I can start a perfectly adequate way of living. I won't have "accomplished" anything. I won't have cucked to mainstream society with it's obsession with over consumption of resources for the purposes of producing a new iPhone every year. Have you ever wondered why concepts like UBI are popping up. Why governments are actually toying with it? It's because now human consciousness is monetisable thanks to the data economy. Sitting at home, playing video games, browsing social media, and watching porn, are all things the elites want you to do. Why do you think the elites supported lockdown so much? It's the future they want and are aiming to create. One in which people never go outside and are stuck on their VR headsets. The jobs are all being lost to automation and unless I want to be sat in my room watching porn and playing video games for the rest of my life I need to leave modern society entirely. Not only me, but anyone who values life. And the point is to get multiple of these communities started. Because then nothing can stop it and humans might finally be allowed to stand up to technology. And me and my little group are researching hydroponics and other methods of growing food. I am thinking about this stuff. "It's hard" really isn't an argument when you consider the alternative (transhumanism). Frankly it's a much more realistic idea than just trusting in this modern hellscape.

Have you lived in a rural area? There's lots to do depending on what your interests are. I'm from rural Newfoundland, doesn't get much more rural than that, and I assure you I have plenty to do. Like yeah, if your main interests are going to restaurants and bars there's not much to do, but it you like doing stuff outdoors there's always plenty to do.

I don't think you need to leave modern society entirely. Unless they pass laws specifically to keep you inside, just move to a rural area and collect your neet bucks and walk the walking trails picking berries and shit all day.

Perhaps but by even taking those NEET bucks I'd be supporting the data economy. I want to foster completely anonymous and untracked economic activity.

Consider this: When you drive up and down the highways in Newfoundland in the summer there are people selling fishcakes, bakeapples, jams, blueberries, partridge berries, picnic tables, walking sticks, fire wood and more for cash under the table on the side of the road. Many of these things are items they harvested freely from nature, sell for cash on the side of the road and is completely untracked and unchecked by government. The thing you're talking about exists, but the question is, does it exist in Britain or Europe?

I think that an absence of population density leads to an absence of a lot of the types of laws that would prevent someone from, say, selling berries on the side of the road. I think what you're looking for exists, but you'll probably have to move to the rural US or Canada.

Yeah we're unfortunately pretty strict about that here. Europe has a much higher population density and thus more room for busy bodies to police it. We're much more regulated here. Although I am inspired by certain immigrant communities here which have managed to get away from government regulation. This is also being done in preparation for the collapse of Industrial societies and with it the collapse of nation states.

The thing about Peterson is that I think that he attracts people who are young and with no goals or feeling lost, and that is exactly the problem. I was in a certain religious cult when I was in my late teens, and it was because I felt vulnerable and lost. Someone (or even I) sometimes go back and say, "Well, I can't throw out the baby with the bath water. Not all of their views were bad. Like, they really had delicious and healthy food and really were dedicated and responsible to each other." Which may be true, but the amount of pain that I endured from that experience doesn't make sense to justify for some views that might be wholesome or otherwise of good virtue. I think Peterson is of the same category. An apple that looks appealing, but with a rotten core; more potential to hurt than to help. Even if it's just the fan base (or cult) warping the views, the community around these figures are looking to divide people and encourage twisted thinking about society and the human condition, ultimately setting on treating people very poorly and doing serious moral damage at best.

I can think of a couple of interviews that Jordan Peterson has done, and I can tell that his personal philosophy is really influenced by treating people poorly who don't agree with him. A lot of it is very cult-like. I really think that the world would be a better place if people did not become dependent on Jordan Peterson, or even the other spectrum, figures like Teal Swan (of who I use to be a fan) but ultimately sent me down a rabbit hole that made me suffer and other people around me suffer. When somebody is feeling that lost, they get caught up in really black and white thinking and don't think in terms of just discarding philosophies within the cult that they don't agree with. Cults work to indoctrinate people by introducing them to the good virtues (that are mostly common sense, idealistic, and not at all unheard of), and then as you go further into the beliefs, the more twisted they get. But at that point, you are already indoctrinated. A lot of people who get wrapped up in cult-like figures don't have the capacity in their life to think independently, because they don't trust themselves, and feel lost. And having a charismatic person with poor intentions influencing their beliefs makes this even more dangerous for them.

I don't think that people liking Jordan Peterson are bad necessarily or something, and I'm sure there are people out there who can distinguish between genuine advice and sinister intentions. But the problem is exactly that, I think -- people who are attracted to charismatic figures on a radical front, are lost and need something else entirely.

To be fair, most of the world makes this exact same mistake about America. Thinking that, because it is one country, it's homogenous. Each state has very distinct cultures some of the larger states have multiple distinct cultures. A hilarious pop culture example of not understanding this is that episode of Black Mirror where there's an American guy playing a video game that's hooked into his brain or whatever. The character is a combination of at least 3 mutually exclusive regional stereotypes (WASPy New Englander, California surfer bro, and occasional southern drawl). Seriously, name an internationally recognized American stereotype and I can tell you the region it originates from.

You may say that these differences are not as big as the differences between Europeans, and maybe that's true. But I think Europeans severely underestimate the heterogeneity of America while overestimating their own differences. Compare a Pole and a Spaniard to someone from the Congo, Vietnam, Kuwait, etc., and suddenly they seem a lot more similar.

zoomer here.

in my experience, people my age have it pretty rough. In high school before the pandemic, social life for most people was hanging by a thread. They were too scared to express any opinions or ideas or actually go out and do anything, they just wasted their time online. Post pandemic is somehow 100 times worse. A lot of people are completely alone now. The shallow and basically meaningless relationships they did have are now either gone or hinged on social media. Post pandemic socialization is filled with constant gaps in communication where both parties literally don't have anything to say to each other because their lives were basically in stasis for 2 years . The more social people have recovered, but the rest might never. I'd say around 50% of zoomers my age where I live only have essentially meaningless relationships, mostly taking place online. Their is this weird thing where its like people are trying to do all of the steps to get social points but it seems so forced and unnatural. Maybe its because their real selves are so immature that they have to act for literally every interaction. At my old job, the only thing the zoomers had in common was the latest memes or drama popular on Instagram.

The result is two kinds of people. The normie who has done nothing since the age of 8 except play videogames and go on social media, who has no soul, and everyone else, the minority. The sad truth is that parents don't know how to raise kids on the internet, so they fucked up massive on this one, but it's not their fault. Nobody could have known how to raise kids online. The vast majority of people in this generation are horribly socially malformed, but at the same time, many are very well informed and knowledgeable compared to previous generations, and a few of them were lucky enough to get extremely good at some things and become good people using the internet. As bad as the internet is, it's one of the greatest learning tools that has ever been created, and some people are using it really well.

Newfies are currently on cold ice with me after one of your provincemen wouldn't shut the fuck up about my country because he thinks everyone who is an American are automatically EEEVIL (He was pretty much the opposite of main stereotype of most Canadians are too and a bad artist)

Firstly, I currently live in a rural area of about ~150k people and believe me there really isn't much to do out here since the city itself is heavily dependent on cars with the bus schedules being some of the worst I've seen so far making my options severely limited.

Secondly, most rural areas here these days had been on a decline here due to various supreme court cases such as the 1964 Reynold V. Symms case which severely crippled the many or so counties that are largely rural to begin with having them be dependent on urban areas. So, a majority of the time, many people have begun moving towards larger cities to find better opportunities, an issue which yeah fucking sucks but even then outside US politics people moving to cities isn't entirely new either.

Thirdly, I was primarily criticizing the idea of moving to rural areas as a means to escape from the social and economic issues from urban areas. Too many retards I've seen especially on the right have this romantic idea of starting society all over again in **their** vision believing that now they're far from the SJW Cesspool of cities they can resume with whatever "lives" they likely never had in the first place.

Although I heavily disagree on this person on some topics, and I really don't like how he structures his videos and titles (making them appear clickbaitty), nor even bother putting his god damn sources on the description, this is video here is one of the rare times I actually do agree on, and it primarily focuses on what I was criticizing on.



Let me say this for the record; I get why some people like the person I was responding to are like this. I once thought the same when I was like 19 years old, but I've since grew out of it after staying off from /pol/ and honestly, I think it's best for people take off those rose-tinted glasses and realize that they can still find or create meaning and value in the community they currently live in and if not, at least fucking try on getting whatever people that surround their homes to do something together before giving up and whine about how society sucks even though they've nothing.

Like I said here in this post of mine.

If you really want to live off grid, do it, buy an acre of land in Maine, but only because you're interested of living off-grid. Not because you want to rebuild society in your own eyes just because you don't like the people living in our current society. My lord did the internet warped your perceptions on things hasn't it?

You and I have very different ideas of what constitutes a rural area.

Alright to be more accurate, it's a suburb. But however, the points of my statement still stands.
