Men are going their own way
No.15727
The best grift in history has always been:
1. Convince the mark that they're in trouble and about to get wasted.
2. Sell the mark your "solution".
3. Either bask in the glory of them praising you or then take the opportunity to sell them another "solution".
So, for men in America in the 2020s, you:
1. Convince them that some "X" factor is trying to kill them (such as excessive bodily salts, or gay couples getting married, or loud noises from animal barks, or whatever).
2. Sell them your "wonder drug" or whatever it is (by draining men's supposedly evil bodily salts like they're about to have a neutron bomb go off in their butts, or by getting them involved in your homophobic political cause so that they feel comforted socially, or by putting special earmuffs on them to protect against scary animal noises, or whatever).
3. Bask in mens' love and support, with them making you rich and famous while you sell them more stupid crap.
This isn't because men are stupid, since it's because modern corporate marketing is a unstoppable force of Satanic evil. Being basically as powerful and as cruel as nuclear weapons while being just as great at hurting innocent victims as those nukes.

>>15706well, since the thread is continuing anyway, i suppose i can say a bit more.
very succinct view of the situation -- covers pretty much everything in concise fashion, i think. i liked his subtle distinction between men who are struggling but self-aware and men who are struggling but have also bought the marketing bs (manchildren). mlp:fim and eurobeatbrony (actually t. stebbins) may have been prophetic.

>>15727>dog barksI personally think we should campaign against dog barks. I can't stand loud dogs.

>>15747There probably should be a good way to deal with excessive noises from dogs.
I've yet to come across it.
Not being sarcastic. If I knew the answers, I'd tell you. If somebody else around me knew the answers, I'd ask them.

If this keeps up, dogs will rule America, in a sense

No.16118
>>16116In terms of showering, it's that 50% just about or so of Americans shower once a day, while something like 30% to 40% do so less often, with some of them doing so way less often. And about 10% or so do so more than daily, like in the morning plus evening or whatever.
This changes a bit based on identity related stuff like your personal income and your politics, but (I think) not by much. And, anyways, that's not what we're talking about, so whatever.
You can look at=
https://today.yougov.com/topics/entertainment/survey-results/daily/2021/08/12/3d0b7/1Like I said before, I think that this is a social problem that's a part of a general network of cultural issues having to do with younger individuals in America, especially younger men. It's not like they're all gross. Or even that we can pin down that 44.44% of them (or whatever the hell it is) are gross exactly. It's that being gross is more socially accepted in a way that I find horrifying.

>>16119Do you have problems reading English or something?
I don't know how I can change "50% just about or so of Americans shower once a day, while something like 30% to 40% do so less often, with some of them doing so way less often" to make it easier to understand.
Do my words have too many letters in them or otherwise seem like too intellectual or something?
No.16122
>>16121You're not even beginning to make sense. I said that a significant amount of younger men in American do things such as rarely shower, and then I shared a link that both looks at all Americans and then shows the breakdowns for age and gender identity as well as other traits. And, as I've said, it's "50% just about or so of Americans shower once a day, while something like 30% to 40% do so less often, with some of them doing so way less often".
I'm not sure how to explain these things in a way that won't make you mad and call me "autistic" for using too many letters in the words that I type.
I don't know how to word "50% just about or so of Americans shower once a day, while something like 30% to 40% do so less often, with some of them doing so way less often" in a way that would be any different.

>>16108I think I see what you mean. Hatred in general is grossly uncomfortable, yet the younger generations seem to think it's OK in certain contexts.
>>16118>>16119For showering, just shower often enough so that your head doesn't itch and you don't smell if you're going to be around people.
As for the rest of the conversation, I can't even follow it, as it's so absurd.

>>15704>some cartoon cat guy making a bunch of declarations with little to actually back any of it up beyond emotive appealsThe infantilization of the left is truly remarkable.
You put things into this form and they just eat it up.
No.16160
>>16139I typically shower twice a week, more depending on work. When I'm out mowing in the heat with my brother for example, I'll jump in just after.
I don't get how people shower every day, or especially twice a day.
It's like they hate their skin or something. Would make me way too sensitive I'd struggle to wear clothes.
Then again, I do try to be thorough with cleaning. Maybe they do a light rinse instead.
No.16164
>>16163Because I prefer actual reasoning to the preaching of children's cartoons.
Not to say they're bad for having moral lessons. But they've typically got no counter present, and aren't thought too deeply, and certainly are lackluster to field as arguments against others.
Fundamentally they only ever consider, let alone show, one side. With MLP there's a fair range of issues with the supposed elements, for instance. Rainbow Dash not being particularly loyal, as a prime example.
No.16168
>>16159This is the weakest criticism I've ever seen anywhere online. Utterly lacking in self awareness.
>>16162>editorial content>serious political philosophy >pretending political cartoons aren't traditional >>16164>Fundamentally they only ever consider, let alone show, one side.Editorial content has no obligation to be 'balanced'. It's literally a way of expressing an opinion, and if that's in reference to current events then of cpurse their going to reference the news their commenting on, of course their presenting their opinion alone. You consume other people's editorial content to get
their opinions in response. Frankly this seems like a real stretch to try and play the victim over something that's been a well established practice in media for literally centuries. Editorial content is not reporting, is expressing opinions, thats what an editorial section of a newspaper fundamentally is, and the vast majority of content about politics posted on YouTube is editorial in nature, as well as the majority of content on cable news channels.
No.16174
>>16168Political cartoons are and have always been simple propaganda.
The default state for them is strawmanning the opposition.
You are right they have no obligation to be balanced; they are within their rights to be propaganda.
But acting as though it's consequently anything but propaganda is asinine at best.
