another Sup Forums meetup? Damn I missed it.

why do russians always demand proofs despite the fact they they have none of their own to provide?

Pedophile syndrome

Mental castration.

Weak men, creating incoming hard times.

Because it's a life of entertainment and you don't have to deal with the harsh realities of life until you get heart disease from being sedentary and eating shit food

They're socialising and having fun. At least they're not niggering up your neighbourhood or Islamifying your churches or kiking your local businesses.

People doing what they enjoy I guess

How would a modern philosopher describe why this subject upsets you despite having very little impact on your day to day life?

Everything you commented on is not synonimous with becoming manchildren, get off your high-horse.

because they can.

Oни лишниe люди.

Why does she wear the mask?

Because none of those people are even remotely fuckable.

Star Trek was created by hard drinking, womanizing WWII bomber pilot who moonlighted writing scripts while working as an LAPD motorcycle officer. The original Star Trek is corny, but it's still full of Manifest Destiny and Manly Men. I'm 49 and like Star Trek, but I also shoot guns and work on old cars, so I can't explain the younger generation.

Sure we can laugh at nerds like this, but I don't see why you should have any beef with people for simply liking things.

Superfluous men read literature and watch Tarkovsky,and not play Nintendo DS and collect anime figures

typical manchild:

This, especially when you know the rest of the saying.

These are people that simply don't have the courage or willpower to face any meaningful difficultly in their life. We are all becoming Lotus Eaters

It's escapism from a shitty world. Not everyone wants to think about impending collapse of civilization all the time. They don't want to be angry, or sad, or worried. They need a few minutes to step outside that vortex of misery and be reminded of novel pleasures.

Its whether they decide to live in their escapism, which is a detriment to their health as much as it is society's, or to practice it in moderation, that separates functioning adults from manchildren and otherkin.

Only ugly people with low education and low social skills.

Stfu kike

The fuck is wrong with me playing video games after putting on a suit, and going to the office for 8 hours?

I work work with a major communications provider that, according to the info i have, about a third of you use.

I enable you to shitpost, let me play games on my time off when ive got nothing to do, I'm already helping the world communicate.

my theory is that since men live longer at home because fucked cost of living, they stay longer in the child mindset. no responsibilities like cleaning n cooking, lots of time fro anime n games

Being an adult is a pain in the ass whereas being a kid is fun. I am 35 with no jod currently, I have roomayes and work dead end jobs a few months a year to get by.
You only have one logeso why spend it raising a family when I can watch anume and movies all day?
I am gonna yo watch Little Witch Academia today but if I had a wife a kid or a job I would be doing boring crap loke working.

Do you really think all people should be engrossed in politics 24x7? Why not try a variety of things that life has to offer rather than focus solely on the depressing political dead end.

Simple because it is cheap. Go skiing some time and look at the cost of a all day pass. 300 dollars more or less depending on the slope. Hell that doesn't even cover skies. What about golf you have the clubs (100-300 for a set or for a single new club) the course (another 100 to 1000 depending on the course and green fee) and finally the mountain of balls you will lose.

Even thing that you equate to maturity costs so much that people are looking at other avenues of entertainment.

I spy two fingolians and some kind of indian/middle eastern hybrid.

>need a few minutes to escape the harsh reality
>few minutes
>few

Im guessing they spend a bit more time on their gaming

>Why do people become manchildren
Because they grew up in a pussy society
>Why do they read genre fiction , play video games , watch star Trek and anime , cosplay
Men by nature are interrested in exploration , challenges and they get boners for anime girls

Even if you are raising a family you need to have an outlet and down time. These things can be enjoyed with the kids or when they are occupied.

Americans sure are a bunch of ugly fuckers

>stop having fun REEEEEEEEE

Oh look it's the right version of an SHE. I bet you believe video games and heavy metal are influenced by Satan and cause violence.

That's Russia m8

Then it all makes sense

Is that a reddit fan meetup?

>Why do people become manchildren?
AUTISM

because its the only positive feedback loop they know and theyve been trapped in it since they were very young.

not black enough

To many females for POL not to mention they are 100% white meanwhile pole is 75% nonwhite

just look at them. really look. that's how.

>being this bluepilled

I agree that what they're doing is unproductive and bothers me, but this poster makes a great point. These people are allowing those events to happen though. Inaction is just as harmful as the act.

single

mothers

>POL
>pole
fucking leaf

because the fantasy they live in will always be greater than anything they can hope to realistically attain.

why do people enjoy something which gives them no advancement in life ? Like my mate spends all weekend playing xbox online yet only achieives his name on a score board or something idk doesn't see the sun rise, doesn't climb hills has no other hobbies or interests just 9-5 and getting drunk on xbox while his mrs sit next to him watching Sky on the ipad. I just couldn't spend so much time on something with no positive outcome or gain

oopsie typo

The government doesn't allow them to become men,

>unproductive
>on Sup Forums complaining about a picture
at least they're socializing in person

>I bet you believe video games and heavy metal are influenced by Satan and cause violence.
Yeah, I'm afraid of this warrior for sure.

Don't worry about, Ivan. When the police state collapses with the economy they'll just be easy pickin's.

we have lost our connection to the land and thus our soul

>Why do people become manchildren? Why do they read genre fiction, play video games, watch Star Trek and anime?
There's nothing wrong with reading fiction, many times theres great characters in such stories i.e asoiaf but it's also an escape from reality, from the hard cold truth and the hard cold realities of life. It's the same reason I get high sometimes when I feel like my struggles in the world are futile. We are only human and many times we feel alone and vulnerable that's why we try and escape these emotions via drugs, fiction, vidya.
>Why do people become manchildren?
Because they're raised by parents that don't provide them with a purpose to life, don't give them principles for life and don't teach them responsibility. Notice how you can be a manchild without playing vidya, reading fiction and watching anime.
>cosplay
Just a retarded way to try and show your dedication to a show/game.

Why the fuck would I go climb a hill? Whats the achievement? Just fuckong around in the woods or whatever?
Simply put Electronics btfo outdoor activites.
I spend maybe 4 hours a year outside, mainly walking to my car, and cant picture why people enjoy it

because western males are weak

I believe that the enjoyment I get from progressing my Runescape account brings be more satisfaction and fulfillment than putting that same time into other pursuits.

Since nothing endeavors to deter my mindset, I maintain this mindset.

get the fuck out of here

I like this explanation

/thread

i dont know maybe because people enjoy doing fun stuff

So, how would one force them to learn about pursuits outside of technology, while simultaneously breaking away from a lifetime spent on electronics and seeing their fathers who were professional workers and fathers getting fucked over in divorces?

>Why the fuck would I go climb a hill? Whats the achievement
>a yank
says it all Mr Overweight-Uundereducated
>Runescape account
1&0's user without electricity your achievements are nothing
Whats fun about wasting time and energy on ziltch?

what is advancement in life?

>what is advancement in life?

[Insert opinion here.]

le internet hero man

Maybe, just maybe, its objectively better to be a shut in and watch tv/ play vidya than it is to be a moron busting his ass for a family or fucking around in the woods with no internet

as Americans our lives are far too good. We so much food at the ready we become fat no wars at our doorsteps most of us on 4 chan have good parents whom have let us have great lives of leisure. But the powers that be what to change that for the youth of America i feel sorry kids who are growing up now and in the future your mind is being twisted by evil creatures.

to secure an existence of your family and a future for your children.

gaining skills and accomplishments that help you progress in life? Learning things that are of actual intrinsic value?

by showing them what negative effects their habbits have on them and by showing them alternative habbits and their positive effects. but its not really something you can force because its natural to defend and justify your (bad) habbits since you commited to them for some reason and you dont want to feel stupid for doing so, which has to happen if you want to change them.

How is going outside not the same as zilch? I have never been camping or even been outside a city but good gid does it sound boring. There is literally nothing I can do out there I/ vCard ant also do insie my air conditioned home

This is what happens when you destroy gender roles and social norms. They lack a proper place in society.

You spend your free time studying meme magic on Sup Forums, it ain't different than their time wasting. Most of the judgemental fucks on this board don't bring much value to the world.

The ideal scenario is to try both and decide which is better. It really isn't objective. Some people will choose electronics, and others will choose mountaineering. Though, in all honesty, I genuinely believe that the vast majority will choose electronics.

Because the real world sucks desu.
Real people are worthless, real women are disgusting and the outside world in general does everything in it's power to make us drop out of society.

By the way that image you posted are all a bunch of normalfags pretending to be nerds.

Comes from new aged parenting. How parenting used to work is that the grandparents would live with you and raise you child. This passed on your ancestory + normalized them into modern society.

Now a days parents just let their children "be whatever they want". So kids just play video games and read comic book. That fills their natural need for a destiny in which they are lacking from not knowing their ancestory.

This is the same reason we have so many trans, gays, degenerates, race mixers ect. Parents aren't telling their kids their ancestory and making them proud to pass on the torch and a lack of parental guidance where parents tell kids what they should do to fit into society. It's a parents resonbility to normalize a kid because there are a lot of unwritten social rules that you can't just learn from biology.

The vast majority will choose elctronics because it requires no effort to participate in and people dont get tired or dirty.

>Without oxygen your achievements would mean nothing
I feel like the "without x your achievements" arguments are red herrings. The fact remains that I find more value in my Runescape achievements than the biggest fish I caught while fishing in boy scouts.

>Because the real world sucks and I'm too much of a manchild to be the change I want in the world

>girls in the back

What positive contribution does going on a hike provide though? Granted you may find enjoyment from it, but realistically entertainment isn't one size fits all. The last thing I want to do after working for 9 hours is walk around the fucking woods. Personally, I'd rather go home and relax.

Depending on your job, you may have already been providing a positive contribution to society or advancing your current skill set, so where's the harm?

Too lazy (and clinically depressed) to man up and face/overcome my problems.

Easier to just partake in escapism via video games, novels, etc.

I feel no compulsion to better myself as a human being. I see no value in it. Whether you're a lonely NEET or genius billionaire playboy, in ~100 years you will both be dead. How much of a legacy you leave won't matter when you cease to exist.

It's a shitty, selfish way of life, but there you go.

why do you have such a skewed value system ? one is applicable in real world situations, one is not

excercise, body and mind

I still wouldn't call electronics objectively better. There are people who love to endure hardship for sport. I, and most people, are not one.

What change? As long as I have a home, internet and entertainment the elites can steal all they like.
I am a simple man and dont need much beyond that. Anime and video games are enough for me. Even if I got rich I would still just stay home and do nothing

Domesticated animals never fully mature

>How much of a legacy you leave won't matter when you cease to exist.
just kill yourself then

I can imagine enduring hardship for fun. I try to avoid problems at all costs

Not everyone cares about their impact on the world, mister edgelord. There are people still living in hunter-gatherer societies that lead satisfying lives without ever affecting anyone outside of their tiny village.

It means you live a life of escapism and dont like your job and would rather be somewhere else

>I am a man
>Anime and video games are enough
yeah but nah, maybe change man to manchild or child but man you are not

>Tarkovsky
Meme man.

White privilege

> Queering it up in the woods makes you a man
Ok

Hunting is a mans oldest profession. There is nothing more manly than hunting. When you make your first kill, you become a man.

>Queering
camping =/= queering get some lexicon faggot

This is a good idea. Even if you do provide positives for pursuing outdoor activities, people will brush off those same positives unless you can objectively guarantee that they will find happiness from the positives they could gain.

>You can lower your resting pulse! A lower resting pulse will make you happy!

I subjectively determine what I find value in. Compared to other people, I should find others' value systems skewed and they should find my value systems skewed, compared to one's own. It seems like you find value in [situations outside electronics]. You are in the minority, though I admit that your value system is skewed to me, and so mine is skewed to you.

There is no reason to hunt. Its just mindless, poi n tless killing and is cruel to animals.
Hunting should be banned

Hunter gather societies are blissfully ignorant because their IQs are 65 at best. You're just a coward and too overwhelmed by the thought of what you could become and what greatness you could achieve if you actually put yourself to task. You are behaving like a manchild.
