No one starved to death during the great depression, even the deadest-deadbeat will magically find himself motivated and able when the options are get your shit together or starve.
[–] 0fsgivin 2 points 5 points 7 points (+7|-2) ago
Pretty sure lots of people died from malnutrition related causes. And yea I think some actually did just straight up starve. Suicide rates absolutely rose. Disease deaths as well. Hungry, cold people (heating became a serious problem for many) get sick and die more often.
The great depression killed tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands easily. It's just the government didn't have a lot of that kind of record keeping at the time so exact figures are hard to come by.

People did starve in Medieval times. This is why workhouses and Magdalene asylums were built to look after single mothers.
[–] Diogenes_The_Cynic ago
So many men were missing teeth from malnutrition caused by the great depression that it became a problem during the draft for wwii. Truman cited how so many guys couldn't join the army because of missing teeth as his reason for the federal school lunch program.
People starved till teeth were falling out.

People are still suffering from the effects of the malnutrition caused by the great depression. That kind of damage is generational.

This is how the Idiocracy happens. I wish I could have better news for you, but without massive intervention by enlightened people, nature only cares about reproduction. Not intelligence, not productivity, just passing genes as efficiently as possible. And every day it looks less likely that the intervention will happen.

A bifurcation will happen. No joke, humans will "specialize" into different types.

For 2400 years Western civilization did not allow women to vote and conquered the world. Now after just 100 years of women voting, we are approaching ruin.

So...
It would be better if I had to work to maintain a woman?
If I had less competition in my work to achieve greatness?
If a man is unable to find a woman that is worth it, not a whore, responsible, it is the man fault for being a beta that looks for the minimum.
I don't give a fuck about a useless woman having an abortion. I actually encourage that, it is better to avoid weak people to pass their weakness to new generations.
And I apply the same standards to men. We should not be dogs that put their dick in any hole.
[–] Glory_Beckons 1 point 5 points 6 points (+6|-1) ago
Yes, actually, that would be better.
Gives you more motivation to succeed and frees your woman to work on maintaining your home, having more children and actually raising them. Instead of outsourcing the job to Nanny State and Big Brother Media.
You view women as competition and call yourself a man?
There are extremely capable women, mind you. But they're not meant to be our competition. We're meant to be partners. To secure a future for our kind. The best thing women can do for our people is to give life to a new generation. It is the only thing we cannot do without them. And without it, we have no future. Everything else we do is then for naught. So this must be their highest calling. Especially the most capable of women. We need them to pass on their genes. Not waste away trying to be poor imitations of men.
A naive platitude that misses the point entirely: "Liberation" has turned the majority of women who could have been worth it into whores. This is great for those that want whores. But a problem for those that want worthy mothers for their children, and therefore for the future of our society. Your vapid MUH DICK'ing doesn't make that problem go away.
Your other two points I agree with.
[–] bisteot 2 points -2 points 0 points (+0|-2) ago
I see everyone I work as as competitors. Men and women, if they are worth it of course.
I totally disagree, because I do want a partner in my personal life, I wouldn't search for a useless women unable to sustain herself that would stay at home doing shit, without education or any other ability than spread her legs and give birth while turns slowly into a whale.
I can totally take care of my wife during birth and the first month/years. But would absolutely demand of her to return to work force once raising the child is done with MY help and participation. Instead of working 16 hourse a day without having the chance to look at my own kid because I think only I can provide in a work of 2.
[–] McFluffy 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
you would be right but the flaw here is that the abortion rate is really low compared to the birthing rate. thats why the problem is getting worse and worse.
[–] bisteot ago
I do agree that birth rates are plumbing and that is a bad thing.
I don't blame that on women per se. I think that is because economy is shit, and I think economy is shit because states have been applying economic legislation that benefits greatly private enterprise above the right of the workers and permits that ultra big companies and banks speculate with credits, houses and the overall market.
Ain't women fault that education cost is so unbearable, that insurances companies are shit or that healthcare is non existent.

You can't have a stable peaceful free society if lower status males are unable to form families. They will not happily toil away for decades without that reward. Blame the men all you want for their failings, but if you want a nice society to live in, blaming isn't going to do any good.

Ha! I am female and love this...because it's true. Damn, I hope this pisses-off the majority of women who read it.
[–] Titanbikes4ever 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
I am a woman and I agree with this. Women are essentially children that need a strong, masculine man to take care of them and put them in their place.
[–] dontforgetaboutevil 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Agreed I hate femninism.

It was a terrible idea because it was a manifestation of hyper-individualism. The West struck a chord when we decided that individuals were actually important and should be respected and should have certain rights. We failed miserably when we extended this idea to the extreme, at the expense of the collectives and societies that brought forth this respect for individualism in the first place.
Any kind of "liberation" that gives individuals to destroy the collective's culture, values, traditions, history, or laws is only going to have an ultimately destructive effect. This is not to say that society should never progress in any way and must maintain every detail of every tradition, but to completely destroy all traditions in favour of hyper-individualism is obviously fatal.
[–] Whizwit21 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Totally agree. This country went all downhill when parents started telling kids how special they were and could be whatever they wanted. Put your family and your community first.
[–] hels ago
Dreams are great for 3 and 4 year olds. They can listen to parents read them books about doctors and scientists and hear their Dad talk about the countries best athletes. However, when you grow up on a farm and the only school has 2 classes (grades K-4 and 5-10) you're likely going to be a farmer. Maybe you can be ambitious and learn how to repair and service all the different mechanical equipment and start a side business.
The only thing is you're never going to be a scientist or doctor. Nowadays all kids think they're going to be scientists, doctors, lawyers etc.

You sound like a communist.
[–] 12557606? 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
You think that because you've been programmed to associate collectivism with communism. But human history tells a story of collectives, and the individuals without collectives, without communities will always be destroyed by the individuals with communities. I'm a NatSoc. That means I oppose both jewish communism, which rejects the individual and believes in equality of outcomes, and I oppose jewish capitalism, which corrupts the economic system of free enterprise and values only individuals, and rejects communities. All those who oppose the 14 words are my enemies.
