we are all getting ass blasted in the eyes 24/7 with social media bullshit where attractive and successful people are basically handed a life where they barely have to do anything and yet live a life that wouldn't be possible for a regular person even if we lived 10 lifetimes. we were sold a lie.
i honestly find it all great, social media destroyed the world.

Most women have life on such easy mode they haven't developed any coping skills so the slightest misfortune in their life will drive them to commit suicide.

most employers no longer provide a family sustaining wage; this means that women must either:
1. work and have kids
2. not have kids
3. find one of the few men who make the shitloads of money
4. be rich or have a job with a family sustaining wage, and be willing to support a stay at home dad
Women want to have kids generally, and that leaves options 1, 3, and 4 above.
#1 sucks because neither the man nor the woman in the relationship really have the energy to raise kids, since they both have to work.
#3 works for only the luckiest and most attractive women. Rich, "alpha" men have their pick of women; the other guys don't really get much choice at all.
#4 isn't a possibility usually, because women are typically denied the "good" jobs in this society, and even if they get them, thanks to the pervasive sexism in our society, they want a man who makes more than them.
The realities of this society end up being pretty depressing for both men and women, and eventually you just give up.

I will always maintain that women's suffrage was one of the worst, most illconsidered decisions in the history of the western world. People advocated for women to vote and go into the workforce with no regard to the repercussions.
In fact, universal suffrage in general is a shit idea. Not everyone should have the right to vote. The right to vote should only be given to those directly invested in the future of the nation. Business owners, married couples with children (one vote per household though), and land owners. People who are not directly invested in the wellbeing and continued success of a nation are more likely to make decisions that solely benefit them in the short run. This leads to policies that do shit like damage the family unit, generate ludicrous amounts or debt, and possess zero long term sustainability.

that's how you get a class of eternal boomers that limit others from gaining what they have. the boomers tried to do exactly that and they mostly succeeded in completely fucking over future generations.

Eh bad idea because then that group can bully the others by enacting policies that make the non-voting group more taxed. Make them have no tax deductions, tax penalty for not owning a home, tax penalty for not having kids. You could just make the other group work like a dog for you and they could nothing about until they just started revolting. And if they are being the work horses of society then obviously they are investing more into the country and want a fair say.

How? The only prerequisite to earning the right to vote is not being an utter fuck up or lazy as shit. Of course, Id imagine some disabled folks and literal retards will not qualify, but not everyone can (or should) win.

>Valuing family, future planning, their own children, or anything outside of their immediate self-gratification.

the parents of boomers cared about all those things and look at the children they produced, a bunch of sociopaths that took everything and screwed everyone else over. the only way your system can work is if you can somehow magically figure out which people truly do care about those things and then only give them the right to vote. that's basically impossible.

Purposelessness and unrealistic expectations.
Most basic human needs are covered, food, shelter, entertainment, but human intimacy is on a decline as people live vicariously through their phones, social media and porn.
And we're getting told from an early age that we can grow up to become anything, media showers us with unrealistic ideals and notions of how a good life should be how a romantic relationship should pan out and how your dreams suddenly comes true.
And all the doom and gloom of a bleak future of overpopulation, work scarcity, global warming, fresh water shortage etc. It's like having the possible threat of cold war nuclear annihilation hanging over you except it's 99.9% certain to happen.
All the depressive aspects of behavioral sink and more.
Or I might just be projecting real fucking hard here.

life is generally fucked for both sides
women are forced to work and feed children
while their spouses never see them because men usually work more
social media tore everyone apart while bringing everyone together
social media gives the 1/10 women no reason to live
social media gives the 1/10 men no reason to live either
they want their own kinds of partners but wont settle for the logical choice and not reproduce
or just marry your own looks class
but some people cling on to the saying
>beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
so they try to go for partners that show the slighest interest and bring it to a whole new level
when that doesnt work then they turn to degeneracy and social media to cope
this is why so many girls post their bodies on social media because they want validation
but men turn to more degenerate places like this place and rot their minds even more
this is why our society wont get better

capitalism is in decay. no welfare for the dregs, so they are being made social burdens. the more one feels like a social burden, the more one contemplates suicide by combining a metric of sadness and failure with the guilt level they experience in burdening society. when they hit a certain saturation point where guilt and sadness is all that is left to think about, they kill themselves. they are taught by society to see suicide as heroic: if you are a drain on society, you are freeing up resources by killing yourself, especially when you can't see how you could impact or improve life by continuing or recovering from the decline youve entered.
same for drug use: society is very harsh on judging drug use (even though functional, employed people do drugs) while they encourage drugs' propagation for pleasure/recreation or stress relief. if the drugs ruin your life because you are too stressed, then somehow you are worse and a burden. eventually you have this guilt saturate your thoughts, causing negative outcomes, homelessness and unemployment and the like. eventually you just get stuck in a cycle of guilt due to abuse, then you use to relive the stress from guilt, and eventually the process hits total saturation of despair and guilt, the only rectification is to use so much you overdose and die. successful, comfortable people only overdose by accident; the discarded people overdose "by accident" but actually as a functionalist way of removing them from being burdens to society.
furthermore, these are both functions of capitalism having a lot of excess and inefficiency that leaves young people without jobs and a sense of role, purpose. a role gives people a sense of grounding and direction. choices are presented in a role; without one, every choice is open and none can be chosen properly given the effort to reach their conclusions. so, people just consume and work to consume. jobs are interchangeable; exist as a kind of corporatist welfare to keep people from suicide.

they were able to eliminate the use of drugs as a coping mechanism simultaneous with societal reforms that made the material motivations for drug use less pressing. i am both against consumerist drug use while also being against stigma and criminalization of drug use. again, what they usually focused on was black market drug smuggling and cartels. individual drug use was not universally punished harshly. soviet courts for example were very informal and usually didnt escalate to jail time or hard labor outside of really serious offenses and this persisted up until the 80's.

take the black pill on this topic and realize that people encourage bullying and cruelty to cull the herd via suicide. lots of people you wouldnt suspect have more abhorrently cynical views than LARPing edgelords on /pol/. the whole "ive got mine and dont care if you get yours" mentality has killed whatever urge in people had to address public grievances. so yeah, suicide cases are the unsung heroes. they go on rampages or publicly kill themselves and it keeps the cogs of the machinery going. they are the lifeblood, the grease in between the parts. no different than any patriotic soldier or 9/11 first responder. they are a great statistic to create more bullshit policy on the back of. nobody comfortable in their mcmansion cares about suicides or about veterans or dead cops lmao. they are just a prop in their pursuit of their own class power.

Suicide has traditionally been viewed as the cowards act, done by someone who is incapable of facing the realities of their decisions.
On the other hand, self-sacrifice has typically been seen as a moral virtue across most, if not all, successful cultures. Men sacrifice themselves for their families to support or protect them, and women sacrifice themselves for their children.
The virtue of sacrifice is linked with the idea of duty, a notion which the modern western world has utterly forgotten about.

Self-sacrifice is rarely linked with straight-up suicide. A man who dies saving people from a fire isn't the same as a man who just shoots himself.

suicide is suicide.
the death cult of fascism is suicide, regardless of whether it is done while pilfering brown peoples oil or smashing occupied poor peoples heads in during a riot
regardless of whether its because of homelessness or despair or drug addiction
all of these are one and the same manifestation of how such people are purely social tools and disposable, replaceable
if your duty is to die, then you were never even meant to have any of the benefits of being alive. its an excuse to dehumanize and restrict your rights and treat you purely as a functionalist tool.
it is ideology to think you are better off dying than living to generate effort and value the rest of your life. willingly allowing society to wring all your potential out of you until you are dead--- there is no difference between "noble sacrifice" and being a symptom of decay. one is to be loved and used for propaganda to make more "noble sacrifice" for the cult of death, and the other is an example to be made of degenerates, a sacrifice to propaganda and ideology all the same.

It really isn't, although commies rarely go beyond the platitude of 'fascism is capitalism in decay', which is why they always underestimate it and cannot adequately deal with it until it's far, far too late. It seems history is going to repeat itself, although this time the USSR isn't there to save them.
And commies, despite their best efforts, can never see humans as anything more than producers, despite their honeyed language. To them, that is what you are, and you can never aspire to be anything other than an unalienated and 'free' producer, as if that will bring you happiness. And that's assuming their utopia will even come to pass.

corporatism was the basis for italian fascism, but yeah, of course it is decaying capitalism. when it cant "fix" social issues by ignoring them anymore, it turns to war or stirring up identitarian rioting and infighting to distract people. read umberto eco, horkheimer, adorno. you just want to fuck your own abusive father and be his sissy bride, there's no deep organizational structure to "muh nation, muh race, muh action, muh big strong man leader pls fuck my bucci." action without purpose is just chaos, nothing more.
yknow, aspire all you want, you don't do anything. you fashies never get anything done until your masters allow it to happen. theres nothing revolutionary in masturbating to reactionary snuff fantasies: its what the standing military and police are all about. the capitalist hegemony loves you guys, you are easy recuits, stooges of the highest order. moved by sentiment so easily and eager to work for nothing more than the adoration of your metaphorical daddies and getting to carry out lawful violence on such and such degenerates. preach about "happiness" and other silly childrens spooks when material improvement of your life could be attained. those of us who actually have jobs and work for a living- not lumpenprole mercs and class traitors like you- and would prefer to control our lives. it is simply is not utopian to free ones working cohort from stifling managerial classes that cause so much of the inefficiencies in society. it is utopian however to think killing all the jews will fix systemic problems that exist beyond the scope of even the most imaginative jewish paranoid conspiracy. though it isnt like nihilists like you actually believe the shit you try to sell, god forbid your idealism is anything but internet shitpost ironies.
