What is degenerate

I keep hearing this term degenerate, what qualifies?

I see everybody implying degeneracy is a bad thing; what makes an action degenerate vs not degenerate?

Trying to understand

Just a meme, don't take Sup Forums so seriously, faggot.

Compassion

this thread is degenerate

degenerate = something I don't like

Every social experiment invented by Jews

If you don't like something, just call it "degenerate".

This usually removes the need to come up with an actual argument.

It's all so clear now. Shit I hate is degenerate.

When something loses mental function, like a brainless nigger, it degenerates.

We don't like degenerates.

degeneracy is something that is not wholesome

i.e. drugs in excess, not brushing your teeth, having unprotected sex with a stranger.

people tell you not to do these things and you fail to understand that they're trying to help you.

don't let anyone tell you degeneracy doesn't exist. they're most likely degenerates.

Degenerate is something that is objectively bad for an individual and for a society. Like drugs, porn and Canadians on Sup Forums.

this is the best definition of degeneracy i've ever heard

my Sup Forums addiction is degenerate, for example

Degeneracy is a lack of moral standards.
Its similar how liberals mock males as being autistic.
Imagine a man or woman that likes scat play with other people pretty degenerate right? Well what if they also just had to talk about it to people they meet in public.
Its strange lacking any social understanding or restraint, repellant and immoral, uttery pointless and literally a retardation if behaviour.
They are degenerate.

it is being used very loosely

it has a more well-defined meaning in theology

this is what you do if you hate having to take the trouble to pick the right words, and you don't mind letting the English language degenerate into mush

Degenerate is an objective term

Open a dictionary you dumb cunt

...

just use your dictionary. either something grows/builds (generates) or it degenerates.

Syrup niggers BTFO.

Fucking hear, hear!

It's simple:
Degenerates are those who don't have offspring.

calling stuff 'degenerate' is the way poltards practice virtue signaling. cf. sjws and 'racist'.

When something is "degenerate" in a cultural context, it means that it breaks down social cohesion and produces bad results for society.

>have terrible genetics
>produce offspring with a 10/10 hot babe
>your terrible genetics find their way into the genepool
>the genepool degenerates

what now

peeing or vomiting on public places

telling someone that the music he is listening is bad, but infact he turns on the most generic shit what u can hear from radio, talking about pussy and money.

has no compassion towards any sort of culture

''music and art are for faggots''

dont have time to write more

hedonism
vanity
social media use (inherent in the above two)
not getting married or having children, especially if you are in a ltr
sex for purely recreational reasons (see hedonism)
tattoos
drinking
drugs

basically anything that does not progress or make yourself better as a whole, and thus make a positive impact on society, is degenerate.

It's everything that has degenerated from polite and moral Christian society.

Gays are degenerate,
Dating women for sex is degenerate
Listening to gangster rap is degenerate
Watching porn is degenerate

etc.

Degenerate:

Libertarian Values > Democratic Party > Leftist > Progressive left > Regressive left

Degenerate means that somethings harms society or hinders its progress, for example drug addiction and porn can both keep you obsessed/busy and thus prevent you from being productive and progressing society or science.
But then again I am just a lazy piece of shit, it's too late to change now, which is why I wish that upcoming generations won't be raised in this self-harming way...

The most ironic thing is the way libtards get triggered by the use of the word. Simce they basically suggest anyone normal(not them) is a degenerate all the time. They seem to at least acknowledge the word applies to themselves because they rarely use it.
But from others perspective libtards appear degenerate in thought.

Simple really. Does it generate a positive gain for society or does it have a negative (degenerative) effect on society.

Any sin in the bible is degenerate.

Look up the definition.

Degenerate: showing evidence of decline

It is literally bad, it means actions or a way of life that leads to destruction.

Here's a good example of why I'm a degenerate.

I'm 23 and probably gambled $40000 of money I didn't always own per se. Every time I had a job I would almost always spend my money on drugs or gambling.

When I didn't have money, I would rack up payday loans for usually about $1100 at a time maybe 2-3 times a year for 4 years and when this happened, I would always tell my parents and my dad would have to pay them off because he doesn't want to see me be a fuck up. He also owns video poker bars in Las Vegas and makes 6 figures a year no problem.

I could go into so much more detail I could probably write a shitty book about degeneracy but you get the point

Making negative life decisions without giving a fuck about the consequences because it makes you feel good/high/depressed/alive/whatever

Live Texas Hold Em poker is a hell of a drug though I'll tell you what
