any boomer born before 1989 has no idea what its like to be a modern male
boomers were born before 1965, moron
I sure contemplate shooting a politician or saving a child prostitute every now and then.
Of course he is. Bickle in 70s was still an anomaly because he was a lonely antisocial guy, no kids, no wife, no real job, etc. Now it is the norm.
The only difference is that Bickle lurked during his co-workers discussions while modern men lurk on Cinemaphile.
It really do be like that.
and back then the forms of escapism were much less with more of an entry barrier (You actually had to leave your residence or pay money to indulge in 1 of the limited available options)
Advancements of the past 40 years have made it so easy to just never leave your house
Yes
Yes, the society has nothing to offer for any of us and we're all slowly going insane from the hopelessness and desperation our masters have imposed on us. We have no future and all the society can offer us to placate our fears is to drug us into a state of docile apathy or gaslight us into forgetting that things didn't used to be this terrible.
aldous huxley was a brainlet. read more books, cretin
Shut up homosexual. Dont forget to wear your mask and suck that BBC.
You sound like a moron trying to be pretentious without having the intellect to even mimic it effectively.
>Yes, the society has nothing to offer for any of us and we're all slowly going insane from the hopelessness and desperation our masters have imposed on us
yet women and black people don't feel this at all
they just frick and consume and go along happy in their lives
why can't white people do it too? are they too stupid to be happy?
>hurr are you too stupid to lead unfulfilled hedonistic lives like Black folk and women???
sirs please redeem
>are they too stupid to be happy?
Your own post shows that only the stupid can be happy in this society. So, no, they're not too stupid to be happy, you dingus.
>yet women and black people don't feel this at all
Women literally feel unhappy all the time and constantly complain about being unhappy.
Black people literally think the White man is out to get them, think other blacks are being holocausted every minute by police, and burn down homes when a criminal is killed.
if you are poor or middle class, you most likely live a joyless life of paycheck to paycheck misery. this kind of existence used to be reserved to the extreme poor. now it’s just the normal guys life.

boo-hoo modern middle class life is so terrible, I'd much rather be a peasant in the medieval Europe. If it weren't for *MODERN SOCIETY* (and not my disgusting body and lack of ambition and will) I'd have that 18 y/o tradwife that I've made up in my head and 3 perfect children.
Jeez it's almost like all that consumerist garbage doesn't lead to a fulfilled life.
Blissful Black person Cattle
Tell me: what's a better alternative, NOT having your material needs met? If you waste all of your free time and money on frivolities, that's your fault, not society's.
Material needs is food and a place to sleep.
Owning anything else won't contribute to a person's happiness. Making some dumb argument like "but you own a gaming console and don't have to do field work you should be happier than a person this doesn't apply to" is absurd.
>Material needs is food and a place to sleep. Owning anything else won't contribute to a person's happiness.
You are completely incorrect. Material possessions aren't the only ingredient towards personal fulfillment, but they are a component of it, if not a critical component of it.
Owning a car allows you to go where you want, when you want and be in control of your own transportation and what you do with your time and when. Owning art supplies or a computer with creative software or things like that allows you to express yourself and engage in creative, constructive activities, as well as be able to retain and own what you create. Owning movies, games or books; or means by which to access them; allows you to engage with Creative Media that the vast majority of the human population finds very fulfilling. Etc.
What fulfillment received from different sources will obviously vary from person to person based on their personality, these are all examples that absolutely contribute to someone's overall happiness in one way or another.
Pretending that "material possessions have NO value" is at best naive hippie drivel and at worst gaslighting from commies who unironically want to take your material possessions for themselves and want you to be complacent about it.
Hell, I bet YOU own more than just "food and a place to sleep", Mr. Enlightened Guru.
nta. What you're missing is that those material possessions are worthless without meaningful and healthy relationships in your life. It's always been relationships that provide meaning. And primarily familial relationships, because those bonds aren't as weak as bonds of friendship that break when someone has kids or something.
But modern consumer-centric society has seriously damaged families to promote further consumption. We're inundated with propaganda to hate our families and to want divorce, among other things, because these are good for the GDP (more houses, more cars, more eating out, less pooling of resources).
Point is, your material quality of life doesn't matter if you have no meaningful and healthy relationships.
This used to be an exclusively rich person problem. But now it's a societal problem.
>What you're missing is that those material possessions are worthless without meaningful and healthy relationships in your life.
Okay, so did you just ignore the part in
where it said
>Material possessions aren't the only ingredient towards personal fulfillment, but they are a component of it, if not a critical component of it.
Literally in the first two sentences of the entire post.
It doesn't really matter if you qualify your statement but tgen continue to focus solely on materialism, because it shows that you are, in fact,
>missing is that those material possessions are worthless without meaningful and healthy relationships in your life.
You mistake comfort for fulfillment. Possessions aren't fulfilling. Your examples included transportation, art and self-expression, and entertainment. None of these give life meaning.
Yeah, being comfy is comfy, but to think that being comfy is being fulfilled is just your brain on marketing.
Typed the NEET, in his mother's basement while eating pizza rolls, on a Chinese-manufactured laptop he got for his big boy birthday.
frick you
did I strike a chord, samegay?
you're really good at projecting was your dad a movie theater
I’ll have you know I work in finance and I typed that on my Chinese made cellphone, you can watch all the marvel movies you want man
>putting spaces after the memearrows
>Meeting potential sex and relationship partners is so easy you just install an app
yeah it's so easy haha
It is. The problem is men just don't know how to use it. You have to try to set up a date or meet up as soon as possible, within the first few messages and schedule the date same day or next day. And men also think if they just put up a few selfies of themselves women will fall into their lap. If your photos are bad and getting you no interest, why is that? If you're fat, lose weight. If you're ugly, get a better haircut and clothes. If you don't have any fun/interesting photos, go out and do fun and interesting things. Its not rocket science.
While this is all true and good advice it’s hard to argue with the devastation that modern hoflation has brought us. If you’re trying to pick up Asian or black chicks you’ll probably be ok
I agree, the glaring problem with modern dating and especially online dating is that women have thousands of side options at their fingertips. However, 99% of those options are dumb cumbrain simps. If men were taught to have self-respect and only pursue worthy women, there wouldn't be a problem. A lot of the bad behavior in modern women is because men are too spineless to push back.
Every bad behavior in a woman is due to being granted implicit permission to act that way by the majority of men.
True. I was acting like a simp to some girl that was treating me like shit. I finally had enough and decided to stop the whole thing.
>however, 99% of those options are dumb cumbrain simps
99% on the other side being chadbrained
>it's so easy to use dating app if you're an autist just don't be autistic by doing all this ancillary bullshit!
>admits that apps are gamified
Great advice moron. After all that investment in making a profile you could just ask someone out and get rejected right there.
Look at this Black person that uses mom and dad's money to cover his bills every month.
We out here living real life, pussy.
>Meeting potential sex and relationship partners is so easy you just install an app, don't even have to leave your couch.
It's that easy? Why didn't I think of that before?
You just have to be yourself and be confident. your social anxiety? it’s not real, just don’t think about it. it’s that easy
Ask how it's obvious you're a poojeet.

Can i launch a rocket into space with it?
No?
Then what the frick is the point of that supercomputer. Oh right. Ordering takeout. I heckin love industrial society now!
>I'd much rather be a peasant in the medieval Europe
apparently, you would
this old great-grandpa doesn't know what an email is
how would he know if anything is the norm ?
He's right but that shit has been around forever. It's simply more visible due to technology
yeah, the difference is back in those days the schizo losers were isolated behind closed doors. Now they congregate on Cinemaphile.
that's not true though. loneliness for example has become a huge societal, cultural, health etc. problem. people have less and less real social contacts. men have less sex. and there are no real fixes
There is a fix, but people don't want to put out the effort to do it. Just go out and meet people.

He has a point. But it is up to use to find a way to get out of the cage. I'm trying to do that now
Step 1: Get off Cinemaphile (Difficulty: Impossible)
I am going back to school. And I am trying to connect with other people but I'm still trying to figure out the relationship thing. I feel confident that I can solve the issue though
yes most non-chads live like taxi driver now
Travis was the first film character I ever really identified with.

Indeed, not hurting feelings of basketball ball Americans by replacing them with smaller populated minorities was ahead of its time.
