What's so bad about American society today?

Children who are encouraged to embrace their opposite gender, or who are encouraged to dress in drag when they are not sexually developed or even coherent about sexuality, may grow up to be profoundly confused about their sexuality and gender. Parents clutch my young children when they cross the street; why would I encourage them to embrace drag as if they would somehow be fully informed about the topic and how inherently important sexuality is to a person?

This trend is not about a child “being himself” but a parent encouraging an agenda that is unhealthy for a young child to embrace.

This is child abuse.

Counterargument - I have a device in my pocket with more computing power than was needed to land men on the moon with worldwide connectivity allowing me to look at cute cats or porn at almost any time I choose.

>So yeah, we're fucked but I'ma be too distracted to give a shit.

>So yeah, we're fucked but I'ma be too distracted to give a shit.

You and literally EVERYONE else bud.

And it's creating a constant need for dopamine so happiness is ever harder to actually obtain. It is taking away our ability to communicate in person. I'm 40 and society has never been this 'awkward' before. Most people can barely hold eye contact because they're too used to communicating through a fucking screen.

People barely have to think anymore because they have devices to do that for them.

Good enough for me.

Isn't that the best-case scenario? Because at this point the alternative is we're fucked and I care very much about that but still can't change anything.

Also that device is used to spy on you 24x7. Every movement you make and every word you utter is recorded and saved. Once enough data is accumulated, whoever owns that data will have massive amounts of power over the masses.

>Because at this point the alternative is we're fucked

How is that an alternative? Its the reality. We've been fucked for some time now but people are too busy checking facebook and thinking to themselves "I can't change anything, oh well".

Eh, people tend to have rose-coloured glasses regarding events within their personal lifetime. I've had my ex who was a history undergrad and went to teacher's college show me people opining that the telephone was killing the written word, and before that that reading newspapers was killing communication on the train.

You also have more of humanity's knowledge freely accessible to the mass population than ever before in history and you can't seriously claim that isn't having a positive effect world-wide.

The problem is the elite are doing very bad things to society and they know a lot of us are beginning to notice. Instead of mending their ways and being happy with being as rich as they are, they are trying to keep the pointless gravy train rolling by very subversive means. Trying to keep wages low and prices high, by allowing mass illegal immigration. Keeping people at eachother's throats with what can only be described as sectarian politics, forced by corporate media. Paying both political parties candidates, so it makes zero difference who is elected by us. There's a lot of things that are corrosive, but it all stems from old money comparing wallet sizes at our expense.

> Its the reality. We've been fucked for some time now
Right, so you can either get uptight about that reality or try to make the best of the imminent end-times. This whole humanity thing's been a total lark. Some form of it'll continue on but not in a landscape I'd care to inhabit.

And in the meantime - Cats and Porn!

That is a poor comparison. Phones were in the home. People wouldn't just sit at home because the phone might ring (unless they were job hunting.) EVERYONES face is in their phone it seems. Go anywhere and you see the vast majority staring at their phone. This has never existed in human history in any form. I really do not think our brains can handle it collectively.

That device in your pocket, is one of the most destructive things that has ever befallen mankind. We did not evolve to just stare at a screen to communicate. We are social beings that are being forced to be antisocial and a vast majority of us like it. I work on the road and have to have meals and fast food places and if I'm lucky, a nice little restaurant. Absolutely everyone, even in groups, sits silently staring at their stupid phones. It makes me sick.

Exactly. There is no counterpart to this in human history. Even if people read the paper daily, you wouldn't do it all of the time, and you'd typically talk to someone about it.

Also the fact that women can now all fight for the top ~5% of men really fucks pretty much every guy. Hypergamy is encouraged and glorified. With social media and dating apps it's incredibly easy to jump from one person to the next so most women have become whores.

And people freaked out over how fast cars could go but now we have people controlling supersonic fighter jets. People are very adaptable.

>Go anywhere and you see the vast majority staring at their phone

And a generation ago this was a newspaper or a magazine. That article had an image of literally rows of people all staring at newspapers on a train. There's always a moral panic when something new becomes popular and incorporated into the zeitgeist.

No it wasn't. People actually SPOKE and socialized. You are obviously pretty damn young if you actually believe that.

i want to kick that kid in the fucking jaw.
he looks like a mega pussy. i imagine him playing soccer and trying to kick the ball, only to fall down and start crying out in pain, its mother shilling to ban the sport afterwards.
absolutely fucking disgusting
he looks like he had every single fucking thing handed down to him. the one last thing he wanted was to be a girl, to which his cunt of a mother agreed. now the little asshole is running around slutting itself out with grown men. absolute fucking dipshit

You get called 'bluepilled' a lot, don't you?

It's not the kid's fault, he's being trained to be a raging homo by the adults in his life.

If we're going to admit a difference between sex and gender, and it does seem like their might be value in a distinction like that, then we also need to admit that most people who call themselves transgender are actually transsexual

good goyims and porn addicts

There have been introverts and hermits and shut-ins throughout time. They're just better documented now because you can hear from them from the comfort of not being out.

As a result of that device you also have greater literacy and command of the spoken word in the general public than ever before. You have connections being made on a global scale and exposure to different cultures and ideas.
There are greater critical thinking skills in today's generation - (If you think 'Fake News' is a modern phenomenon go look at 'Yellow Journalism' as an antecedent).

And as for the female dating male thing, do you really want to go full incel and argue that women should be kept economically disadvantaged so that they're forced to select mates they would otherwise be unattracted to?

Too many fatties.Too many whores. Too many betas. Too many fags.Too much national debt. Too many prisoners. Too many guns. Too much deluded sense of "national pride" when obviously the country is failing downward in so many angles. The literacy is shit-tier for a so called "1st world". The imprisonment rate reflects a reality that is hardly glamorous. The waves made around the world are hardly friendly smoke signals. And, televized News have become a freakshow circus where low-tier people gather to discuss dumbass opinions on abortions and the Great Wall of China while the rest of the world is trying to keep the human civilization from imploding upon itself.

Faggot. You must not get out of your room much, do youl faggot? Were you homeschooled? American schools are fucking shit-tier compared to European academies.

That's a real nice soap box ya got there. Must hold at least thirty bars.

Actually

What I'm saying is that people are STILL speaking and socializing, and you're a middle-aged luddite who's rejecting new things because they're obviously leading to the social decay and ultimate ruin of civilization, and that this hysteria is well-documented throughout history at the widespread incorporation of new technologies, as evidenced by contemporary newspaper articles and opinion pieces decrying exactly that juxtaposed with the very evident continuance of human-kind.

Do you think capitalism is failing anons?
Is the system beginning to crumble?

The religious Right and the dog-eat-dog libertarian capitalists. Two sides of the same shark in a crowded tank.

I haven't had a meaningful interaction with another person in a long time. The internet has made it easier than ever to connect to anyone. But people feel more isolated than ever. Makes ya think.

I think the lack of major wars is driving economies into weird places.

Capitalism works great until all the winners are picked, no one can compete anymore and they start buying politicians. Which is exactly where we are.

All we need is more soldier worship. People already pay lip service enough as it is. I wouldn't be able to tolerate a solid month of that bullshit.

Yeah, I dont buy it.

The kid is having fun. They like what they're doing and enjoying the attention. When kids are encouraged to express themselves and explore they end up becoming more fully realized adults instead of stunted adults who still think sex is a bad thing.

>be thankful to people who serve in the military
>I'd rather be sucking dicks thank you

That's not what he's saying. He's not saying they shouldn't. I don't think. He's decrying the people that go "Look Johnny tried on the high heels. He must want gender reassignment surgery!"

>I haven't had a meaningful interaction with another person in a long time
That sounds like a "you" problem, not a society problem.

Get off your ass and go outside. You'll find that the world very clearly continues to exist despite what you've convinced yourself.

Find a club, take up a sport, try a new hobby. Make the effort to be hygienic and presentable and think about how you can ask open ended questions and help carry a conversation on YOUR end before blaming a device in your pocket for something that you definitely have some control over. Loneliness in middle-aged men in society is actually fairly well documented and there are social clubs geared directly at combating this problem styled on man-caves or lodges. Try one or organize one if there isn't already one in your area.

Then get back to me about how cellphones have doomed us all.

When you read something that makes your blood pressure spike so hard, that your ears start ringing.

>just get out more

If I had a dollar for every time I'd heard that bullshit argument

No your wrong, people have this idea that they can make a change when they really cant. In New Zealand, that contributes 0.17 percent of the worlds global greenhouse gasses, school students are going on strike pushing the governed to make a change. They are wasting their education. They cant make a change, even if the whole country got together and reduced its emissions by 5% it would still be a reduction of less than 0.01 percent of global emissions. Pollution and greenhouse gas emissions arent coming from tiny first world nations with tiny populations, they are coming from developing nations in the east. This is not a white peoples problem. Its yellow and shitskins problems that are being forced on the white man simply because we happen to share the same atmosphere.

Then you'd have enough to afford a night out and actually do something besides play victim?

>go out into public
>which I will now remind you is hyper critical of every aspect of your life

You're doing a terrific job convincing them I'm sure.

Thats not what I got from his comment. The whole "this is child abuse" thing is something that is screamed by people who dont know what kind of excruciating and embarrassing process trans kids have to go through. And kids like Desmond in OPs picture, are just enjoying themselves.

That's not what I said at all. Get rid of the whole month of pride shit, too, I don't give a fuck. I just don't need anymore faux nationalist bullshit, either. Fuckers join because they want to, and they're paid what they agree to take. As far as I'm concerned, they're compensated enough.

I'm sure you have lots of friends. They must appreciate what a unsympathetic cunt you are.

>why should I have to be thankful
>I'm too busy suckling all this sweet peen

A lot of this comes down to public vs private behavior. It is one thing for a kid to play with makeup, wigs, and dresses in the privacy of his own home where he is free and safe to express himself. Photographing, recording performance, or posing for advertisements takes the play out of it, and turns it into a public commodity for adult consumption. That is where, in my opinion, it becomes inappropriate.

A boy dressing up like a girl is okay. A boy being sexualized is not okay

M8 I've seen alot of kids in my life. I work in retail and they're everywhere. That doesn't look like a happy child.

You're missing the part where:
A) per capita carbon emissions from developed 'white' nations are through the roof compared to per capita from developing
B)A large amount of emissions from third world nations actually come from their manufacturing facilities, which exist in large part to service the appetites of the 'white' nations
C)There is a perception that currently developed nations have gotten so by leapfrogging ahead using dirty technologies and are now asking those nations they wield that power to extort to forgo the ability ot undergo the same industrialization. Therefore, developed nations need to lead by example to show they're willing to suffer as well to combat this very real problem otherwise they lose all moral authority to negotiate with those other countries. And with the right incentives those countries WANT to negotiate because a lot of them incidentally are lowlying coastal regions that will get wiped out first.

>trans kids
And you people wonder why there's so much talk of civil war and conservatism is growing like crazy. 'Rise of the alt-right', your media tells you to call it.

>>which I will now remind you is hyper critical of every aspect of your life
If every aspect of your life is being an incel troll on Yea Forums, then yeah, you need to get out and socialize more. it's not society that's the issue here.

Not a lot, no. But a few very close ones that value my abrasive but honest advice.

There are people who have survived being thrust into some of the worst situations imaginable by taking control of that which was still within their control rather than just giving in to things happening to them.

Goodness this reeks of projection. No one is trolling you m8. You are doing a terrible job convincing anyone to get out of their bubble. That's just a fact kek

You sound insufferable. Like absolutely intolerable to be around. I'd like to hit you.

Everything you said there is used to justify paedophilia

Always cracks me up when dipshit foreigners dunning kreuger themselves on internet articles about the USA. I dont spend my time worrying about what you eurotards are up to, how are you so bored that you sit around and convince yourself America is bad lol fuckin ridiculous. We may fuck your countries over and do proxy war bullshit etc. but at home everything is fucking awesome. Fuckin love this place. All that /pol/ crap you chug down has fuckall to do with the daily lives of Americans.

>if I pretend everyone is out to hurt my child it will grow up well adjusted

You're both stupid. You both probably shouldn't have kids. No one who lurks this shit show should.

Ok. I can understand that argument. But by saying that it becomes a commodity for adult consumption discounts the other children who live in more socially repressive environments who are basically bullied by not only other kids but by their own family because they want to do the same things. For these kids, being able to see other kids being out in the open and enjoying themselves shows them that they are not alone and helps them cope with who they really are. Without being able to see that representation, their lives can be living hell. So its not just adults who see it. Also, just because its put out in the open, doesnt automatically make it sexualized. I dont see him making out with anybody, I dont see him waving dildos around. I just see a kid wearing flashy feminine clothes dancing around having a good time. You want to talk about sexualized youth? Look at shows like toddlers and tiaras. Those kids are being pushed by their parents. Without a doubt.

>Reeks of projection
Sorry, which part of your life was it that you're saying society is hypercritical of from that post?
Was it the suggestion to maintain basic hygiene? Is that too big an ask?

Is your ringtone the Team America theme? I bet it is.

Look I know I'm about to blow your fucking mind but multiple people are talking to you.

Fuck the worlds thin skin to death how did we all become such whiny dripping pussies that people embrace christian level hatred of "bad words" and "offensive language" god damn just the fucking phrases are insanity. If someone cant handle the bants they can fuck right off and if you do some dumb shit in front of me then get mad when i tell you it was dumb shit then you can fuck right off too

You really think im gonna waste my time worrying about my cell phone ringtone? There is pretty much always something better to do because i live in AMERICA FUCK YEAH and also im not a fucking high school kiddo trying to impress people with my t0tally unique music tastes that i force down your throat any chance i get
Anyways that movie is fucking hilarious
You should come to America

Jesus christ dude you're a walking parody. Shut the fuck up and stop making us look retarded.

The only difference between 'trans-kid' and that toddlers in tiaras show, it one is deeply politicized and used as a divisive issue. Both are equally sexualized and abused.

That's a whole other discussion I'm not getting into right now.

Theres a lot of words there, but they dont make any sense.

Ive worked in retail too. Congrats, 90% of the working population has. Ive also spent quite a bit of time around kids and he seems perfectly happy.

To be fair, that probably also disqualifies you from giving advice about having kids.

Im sorry did i say one false fucking thing? Do you hate your fucking country, retard?

But my doc swears they're not ACTUALLY talking to me.

We were extremely shitty to non straight white males for 200 years, now we're going slightly overboard trying to correct for that.

love the guy

Take a look at Lactacia if you want a sexualized kid. However, I phrased that final sentence wrong. Most times it isn't sexualized, but rather commercialized.

Yea Forums only exists in your head dude this is you trying to wake your dumbass up
WAKE THE FUCK UP

I just love how so many people don't care about anything. And saying you do doesn't really do or prove anything. Especially when what has already been said by you proves otherwise. The ignorance of this world grieves me all the day long. That's why I sometimes turn away from a post or a video on YouTube or a comment section or whatever it may be. It is so incredibly tiring trying to debate and talk and plead and argue ALL THE TIME. It gets to a point where I just start getting pissed off and so instead of going into it like that, I try to walk away. Unfortunately, I feel a sense of duty to mankind to try and give them the push they obviously won't give themselves. I'm not claiming to be a fucking hero or any of that. And I don't need any recognition for it either. If I were desperate to be noticed for my efforts I'd tell you my name, my socials and all the rest. But I don't care for that. I want to spread ideas, not my face.

Can't wait until China goes after the straight asian male problem they have, oh boy will they be mad.

I will agree that it does tend to be over commercialized. I dont know enough about Lactacia to comment, but I am leaning towards a bit sexualized there.

IRL user not online. Find ways to be active in your community and help the people around you.

Youre lactactia

That was...not productive to say the least.

Shut up lactacia. I dont even know who you are anymore.

What do you guys think about giving teens sex toys?

Girl gets regular no frills vibrator and boy gets one of those pocket pussies from spencers. If he wanna do gay shit he can use markers like a normal fag.

kek, I bet that makes up for all the times Trump and the GOP blocked healthcare reform for veterans.

I dont know why more of them dont just go to the free clinics. Theyre all over now.

I mean, Lactacia is cuter girl than Desmond. So theres that.

If they want one. Why not?

Dont talk about yourself in the third person god damnit

Why not girl gets boy and boy gets girl? How fucked up are we?

As a horny teen I fucked the couch, a pillow, tried and failed to fuck a dog, a chair, doubtlessly some other shit i dont remember, if i had access to sex toys i probably wouldnt have done any of that.
At the same time, my parents buying me sex toys would never have been ok with me. I think we are all living in a way more open time now especially for teens and especially the vast majority with slut parents. It probably wouldnt be so weird for most kids now.

I cant buy my kids a fucking sex slave what the hell man

Better than kids being dumb kids and possibly mutilating themselves. My sister lost her balance while sitting on the corner of the washing machine for the vibrations and she busted up her face pretty badly

Thats fucking hilarious

They are supposed to practice on eachother, not be bought anything.

I didnt find anyone i wanted to fuck til i was 16, but ive been jacking off since i was 10. Youre saying i shouldve just had a random girl to fuck around with instead of having sex toys? What about my choice?
Or are you implying everyone should live in a way that would allow their children to have well matched opposite sex besties to fuck around with when they hit puberty? Because thats fucking nonsense user

Agreed. It lets teens better experiment with their bodies and sexuality in a way that's safer then sex or using makeshift dildoes/fleshlights.

Actually that last part sounds pretty dope. Yes, lets set kids up with play dates so they can meet their future fuck buddies so that they can practice on each other before they start doing it for real.

Just let it all burn... Please.

But your kids are fucking gross, smelly, stupid, cant do anything but scream and shit themselves until theyre teenagers. I dont want my kids anywhere near them. We need high quality children groups, and just big nasty white trash orgy warehouses for all you pleb parents.

Please let this be a joke

Literally everything. Boot lickers that think all there is to life is work. Schools for teaching useless GE classes so you graduate at 18 with NO SKILLS. Half a bachelors are more GE classes. Working typically has a cut throat environment. Everything is too profit driven and you are a bitch working for a master (it isn't an "even" relationship. Let's be fucking real). 78% of fulltime workers live paycheck to paycheck. The average american works 47 hrs a week (anything over say 20-30 is 100% ass). Working 5 days a week is ass (2-3 days should be the norm). Employers are allowed to ask for degrees even when they are irrelevant to the job. Etc etc etc.

This whole country is ass. It's lowkey a third world country yet slaves drink the kool-aid of "nationalism". Retards. We also happen to be the only 1st world country without universal health care. We have to rely 100% on an employer for money and health care. Cost of living is absurdly high.

I can go on and on. This whole country is shit. I spit on the american flag. Fuck this country and it's sheep that blindly follow the path to destruction. Stupid masochists.

I hope you know I only shop at the finest of Wal-Marts for my kids. None of that off brand K-Mart shit for them. Little Bubba and Kaylee Ray need new fuck buddies. They're only half siblings but I dont wanna risk it.

I dunno. Maybe?

Why dont you just start doing what its all about? That being, whatever the fuck you want. Because this is America. Where you can pay for sex with pennies and the government will buy your food for you. There are free doctors pretty much everywhere, and no one is forcing you to pay those medical bills. Credit is a lie, your whole life is manufactured bullshit and you eat it all up while simultaneously saying thats whats wrong with everyone else lmfao
Fuckin live a little dude none of the shit you said matters at all

Man youre fine, wont run into problems until at least the second generation. Hell probably more if theyre only half kin.

Well hot dang! Let's add some more kids in there and teach them how to have their first orgy! They gotta learn sometime. Id hate for them to get to college and have no experience with it.

And 5g networks are about to go live, which use the 60ghz band, which is nearly the most absorbed band of rf by oxygen. In addition to absorbing 60ghz rf, it changes the electron orbitals and therefore the chemical characteristics.

They could use it to kill on a massive scale, but they'll dial it back so people die of health problems resulting from this disruption. It's genocide, and the 60ghz band will not go live in Israel, where the technology was created.

nice

Keep being a blind sheep. EVERYTHING I said is 100% relevant.
But sure.. Let's just ignore all the problems and pretend this country is flawless.
Thing is, I am objective so that is impossible for me to do.

Also, free doctors...??????? The fuck? That's not a thing. Government won't allow just anyone to become NEETs either so that is also a false point.

I live at home because it's some weird asian custom to be around home until we actually marry. I'm not dating anyone rn, but i know the minuet i'm marrying someone, i'm buying a house since i feel i prepared myself for it.
I kinda want a family too, but idk if it's the right time with all this autism floating in the air.
