Angry_Autist (he/him)

Congrats, you’re getting assistance in one of the wealthiest and most progressive counties in the entire U.S.

Your experience is sure as fuck not the norm

no one benefits from dog eat dog capitalism but the most wealthy, homeless people the least

Ok then someone should hire the homeless to clean up, those business owners could pool their money and offer food and they’d have a nicer area after

Maybe sex workers should also keep a gun in a drawer, or better yet hire a bodyguard

A few dead abusive johns will go a long way to cleaning up the scene

Our next door neighbor is an 80 year old man with 12 grandkids, a nice house and every one of his kids was fully paid for college

He had a high school diploma and was functionally illiterate

He worked as a gas station attentand until they made him manager and he retired with a pension.

NO ONE WILL EVER HAVE THAT AGAIN

Sexual frustration isn’t the cause but it is comorbid. It isn’t even nearly as much a problem as the crushing loss of self worth that poverty and hopelessness bring. It’s just the only frustration that society allows men to express is sexual because anything else is weakness. It’s that lack of self worth that make such men unappealing.

The cause is there is no reason to work for a future in a world that will barely reward you enough to survive for your hardest, most skilled efforts. Tons of young men are now looking at a bleak future and let’s be realistic, you aren’t going to be a good partner till you are financially stable.

There’s no reason to be a good member of society if the people most greatly rewarded are the ones that abuse the social contract, so a lot of men just don’t see the appeal in being appealing.

Why work on yourself if you can never afford to take a partner out? Or have time to? Why make the effort to court possible rejection when you can just sit around online with all your other lonely, attention starved, hopeless, emotionally suppressed fellows and share things that piss you off

Because being angry feels better than being depressed, and the two can’t really live in the same head.

So they stoke their hate, whatever flavor they have of it, to feel anything other than alone, unwanted, and depressed.

And after a while some clots of hate coagulate into a target or a movement, and then well if the world isn’t going to reward them for their best efforts, why not burn it all the fuck down?

As lemmy is just as biased and irrational as reddit, I fully expect this to get me banned from yet another community.

You are kinder than I would be

And then they call the swat team to clear their camps and accidentally concuss and paralyze a few of them

The people doing this enjoy the cruelty, they feel those that fall through the cracks should be smashed, and when those bodies cleared, the next slightly less poor group will be crushed

again and again

Until it’s only the ultra wealthy being served by the grateful remainders of every other class who they deign to allow to survive

Just like the plan

If they want the benefits of a highly capitalist society, paying customers, they have to deal with the fallout of a highly capitalist society: a large and unassisted homeless population

No one in power wants to help the homeless, progressive or regressive. Don’t pin this on ‘evil’ people, no meaningful social service growth has happened in ANY of our lifetimes and I’m fucking ancient by internet standards

Buddy I know a ton of men well placed in their careers and lifestyles that eat themselves up everynight out of loneliness.

lol no one raises kids these days, they leave that to youtube

Sex workers can choose their clients, if they want to take a misogynists money, what the fuck business is it of yours?

‘don’t call me incel or I’ll meme even harder’

XD

The simple fact is no one really cares about the plight of men, and this is obvious when you look at social service funding and especially homeless shelters.

We are in a ‘bare branch’ crisis, and back when this happened in medieval China, whole gangs of angry unmarriable men would form raider bands and just pillage and rape until they were put down by the military. It happened so often that warring states would purposely stage useless battles with massive losses on both sides to keep down the ‘bare branch’ population so they didn’t get to rioting levels.

Maybe the fact that warfare is no longer culling the most desperate, lonely, and impressionable men has let to such a large population of unfocused, angry, lonely, and fundamentally unlikeable males.

It’s mainly because biologically we evolved to have kids and die on a hunt, our evolution pressures just aren’t capable of handling a male population without a certain degree of unnatural casualty.

I literally gave the solution in the comment you replied to

There is no easy solution and the fact your dismissive and snarky reply is so upvoted is kind of proof that there is no fixing the situation anymore

The hard solution is to first deplatform their demagogues but since they make their media platforms ridiculous money, it isn’t changing

There’s also a significant possibility we simply won’t be having real elections in America anymore so the chance to get progressive people in office to curb this is over

While all of you meme and joke and minimize the threat, a rising wave of disaffected boys has grown up under the most toxic of social environments and still NONE of you take this seriously.

When you see the world in ten years time you will kick yourselves for doing nothing to stop it now in its infancy

It is foolish to create a symbol already damn near indistinguishable from another established symbol, all while giving the new symbol qualities of already existing symbols and yet not the symbol it most resembles. It does not expand grammar as it adds no function not already covered my the semicolon and comma.

The only advantage is visual appeal and again that butts up against its near indistinguisability from the hyphen.

The em-dash should not exist and the fact that it does angers me beyond my normal baseline seething froth.
