women have been fed the lies of feminism for so long, women now are miserable having lost the war against Nature the feminists told them they could win

white men have been watching all that happen for so long they lost the desire to attain the best since manufacturing and community was stolen from him for decades and all masculine spaces have been invaded and colonized or destroyed by wymyn

we'll be changing some things now

Comfy leads to depression, also most don't spend enough time with family

timestamp to something interesting?

america was 90% white in the 60's
the slow demographic change align with our slow decline
whites are having less kids now than in the great depression

adults and normies will refute this by saying it was because the internet

depression =/= being sad and diagnosing yourself with a trendy illness

...

the whole thing is interesting
just skip to whenever Sebastian is talking

in a sea of idiots, the intelligent man's voice is drowned

>birth control pills

there, i've given you sub-humans a gift, now it is up to you to use it, but you are free to continue to relish in emotional pandering. That is the folly of existence: freedom to be dumb.

Men have no reason to be. They have no heroic struggle to engage in. There are all sorts of auxiliary problems, poor diet, lack of exercise, etc., but the main reason is we don't have a family that we need to take care of, or a great cause to devote our lives too.

im 5min in. so far it's cellphones/social media are bad. i use neither, but have been/am depressed.

Simple media and social media present an image daily that isn't attainable. You are comparing all your flaws and insecurities, all your bad times... with everyone's photoshopped images and highlights of the day. You see a picture of two people traveling and having fun... what you don't see is the constant arguments when they aren't on camera, calling each other names. Sitting there bored at a cafe in argentina not having anything to say to each other. You see the models on the beach with bikini bodies but don't see them purging on the toilet while getting addicted to diet pills. You don't see the liposuction surgeries they went through or the photoshop team.


Turn off the electronic devices and go camping for a week or two and your depression will fade. Connect back with the earth, which is where you came from.

whats the problem with riding a bike? why is there such an emphasis on it?

Serf brains can't handle the modern world. Natural selection will take care of it if the socialists won't interfere. Remember there are people that actually feel loneliness or need belonging/((((((meaning))))) in their lives. The modern world will hopefully deal with them(or they segregate is also fine by me)

This predicted Q

>"he" rides a bike

>whats the problem with riding a bike? why is there such an emphasis on it?
well, i dont get information from cartoons so i might be off but to my recollection if you dont buy a certain kind of bike seat you will crush the arteries in your groin that feed your ween and end up impotent

problem is that most *(US at least, probably not europe or canadian) bike companies only sell seats designed to alleviate this.

bump

feminism.

this video sums it up

It has less to do with the fact there are less whites and more to do with the rest of the world improving. America is a shitty country to begin with, the only thing you get in America is material comfort at the cost of everything else that makes life beautiful.

>the only thing you get in America is material comfort at the cost of everything else that makes life beautiful
and sadly so many countries are slowly following their lead

>this
Honestly, I find that the constant brainwashing from youth to adulthood to be disgraceful. Media, school and society as a whole have removed meaning and faith from people's life that they have nothing to look forward to, but meaningless materialistic goods that can only give you a short term dopamine fix. We either need to see some major changes soon, otherwise the collapse will be in my lifetime.

Because modern media trains people to believe in equality, feminism, anthropogenic global warming, and a shitload of other things that are literally not true.

They are sent out into a real world that doesn't care about their feelings, and find out the hard way that every single thing they believed is a lie intended to make them suicide for the media's profit.

Ive listened to this one before. Its an interesting chat and worth the time investment imo. The tldr is his book: amazon.com/Tribe-Homecoming-Belonging-Sebastian-Junger/dp/1455566381
essentially humans require a "tribe" or small community to function properly. Through out early human history we were in small tribes of less than 250 people and this is how we were evolved to function socially. He says we need to find ways of recreating tribes or small communities to feel invested in society, as apposed to thinking of ourselves as a small part of a giant nation or even bigger globe. He also talks about how young men specifically always had a sort of ceremony to signify becoming a man, something we dont really have anymore.

Because existence for many people in our modern society is meaningless.

Gays ruined the world with their butt fucking faggotry.

yup is a good cause as well. all (((normal))) media really is one big highlight reel. then you also see edgy things posted on sites like Sup Forums etc. such a bad mixture!

Being lied to, knowing your being lied to, and being told you are not being lied to.

Indians

>small tribes of less than 250 people
y'know, I've known this intuitively my whole life: I was always wondering why my "tribe" or "circle of friends" was always forcibly changing, from grade school to high school to work place to residential communities as you move around. It just felt wrong and a a source of depression and confusion and isolation

Yea, back in the day you would of met a few hundered people in your life, and live with the same people you grew up with your whole life. All of my closest friends are friends Ive had since childhood or highschool at the latest, I can count them on my hands though.
This also helps explain why women dont settle down early, they naturally want to get the best they can in terms of men. They used to have to pick from 50-100 age appropriate men at maximum, to now having access to a whole city or even the whole country, their natural instinct to wait for their best option gets fucked by to many options.

So I think I have done most everything that should cure depression.

I have a friends group, I am getting fitter, I have disconnected myself from job stress, I eat better, I have sexual encounters but no longer masturbate, I get sunlight and ensure I get all my vitamins, I sought concealing, and I don't use social media.

I still have most every moment of my life defined by shame, guilt, and fear. Why?

because man dont have somthing to fight for

... agreed. 100% of my experiences with women turned out bad. Even the ones that I eventually loved.

The last one falsely accused me of sexual misconduct (not rape, but still), and now I'm at the point where I can't even get in a serious relationship.

People in first world countries lives have become too easy
Look at us here in SA, because life is so fucking hard and high octane down here we don't have time to be emotional faggots contemplating suicide or becoming trannies
Also could be a result of all the hormones/medicine etc people (in America specifically) are abusing/over doing??

>and live with the same people you grew up with your whole life
that sounds so comfy. i can remember those days, but alas, everybody has drifted apart. it sucks that our identities are so defined by other people, which you can't really control.

you have to act according to the ethical code that appears to you as correct. within the constraints of that code you can do what you want but if your desire conflicts with the code then you have to have the willpower to do what you think is right

Im also on a path to "recovery" from self diagnosed depression. I also improved my diet, exercise, and take vitamins. I think another facet to take into consideration is some degree of "spiritual" fulfillment. Im not very religious so that doesnt really jive for me, but some sense of purpose in life and some sense of acknowledgment with the immaterial is really helpful. I know he is shilled a lot, but Jordan Peterson's lectures were helpful for me as well as reading up about Buddhism and Stoicism. Also I started taking 5HTP supplements every other night, that may help too.

What does that even mean?

They should have included the sewer gangbang plot from the book in the movie.

Men have nothing worth fighting for.

Seconded
No need to even go full hippy, just a weekend camping trip will do you social media/internet addicted faggots WONDERS

your fundamental rules of conduct have to be ethical rather than personal

>I still have most every moment of my life defined by shame, guilt, and fear. Why?
It might just simply be existential dread.

Wow looks a lot like my mom when she was young

Solitary time, seeking out instant gratification, poor fitness, shitty food.
>VS
Lots of quality person to person time, seeking out clear healthy goals, excercise, healthy food

People were told they could to low their dreams and become anything. This was reinforced by media and society. Upon growing up they and most everyone around them becomes nothing important. All the while those that become something are highlighted even more by movies, social media and society in general. This leads to people feeling unfulfilled.

Was you mom a slam pig too?

or just become Kierkegaard's Knight Of Faith

then they aren't men

Agreed. I think a connection to family can help mediate this a bit. Im from an immigrant family that is pretty old school in terms of family and traditionalism. I always rejected this growing up and I was consistently misserable. Making an effort to spend time with and understand my parents helped me actually feel better. We cant control other people but we can have some control over our families. Ideally as men I think we need a family to be a part of (to lead) and to protect. I think that it's necessary for our well being and giving us a sense of meaning.

So what should I do?

Perhaps, how do I solve that?

Why? That was just King exposing his sleeze tendencies. Added absolutely nothing to the story.

Probably because anyone with a +6 figure salary and a platform to preach from is actively trying to undermine everything about our culture as we know it, and it actually works on a percentage of morons that were successfully brainwashed into buying propagandist appeals from socialist idols.

too much free time to think and ponder.

She's been with my dad since high school so idk

don't you know instinctively what is right and wrong? It's a matter of distinguishing between that moral feeling and your personal desires. again desire is fine, it's just that you have to separate the two so that when they conflict you can act correctly

What do you fight for? And by fighting, I don't mean shitposting on an internet notice board.

>Perhaps, how do I solve that?
Quickly watch these 2 videos:

Social engineering, boredom, and the feeling that people's live don't matter. People also feel powerless to affect and control their surroundings. Add that to the stuff they put in the food and water along with people just generally not getting the proper level of nutrition and the vitamins they need and you have a cocktail of mental illnesses. Also feminism.

TL;DR

that's none of your business
I'm not your personal google service, you have to find your own meaning in life, fight your own battles
if you don't have any, then you've supremely fucked up on every conceivable level and asking what to fight for is as sad a statement as you can possibly make
try re∂∂it, they're full of know-it-alls who I'm sure will placate your fragile psyche

we eat worse foods, get less fresh air/exercise, and are more socially isolated than previous generations
we watch degenerate shit on tv/internet/vidjas
jews are pushing their agenda in overdrive, shit's getting bad
pharmaceutical drugs are rampant (and practically nobody actually needs them)
illegal drug use is rampant
bad news is pushed on us constantly
people are rarely alone with their thoughts for any period of time
schools, corporations, and governments are getting more tyrannical
families and social structures are breaking down
people themselves are thus crazier and more ill-tempered and just fucking weird

I find it hard to believe that anybody can be happy today

I do know what is right and wrong, I already act in accordance with my personal morality code. I am not seeing how to fix this.

thanks

Sounds like you are unfulfilled in life. Do you have any personal goals other than simply not being depressed?

>thanks
no problem. if you watch them now, let us know what you think/learned

I am saving money for when I can quit my job and start my own business. I plan on becoming an indie game developer.

I'm a writer as well. I used to write a lot but depression stole my muse and I want to discover it again. I wrote several novels and lots of short stories. I need to find that part of myself again.

The person who made that cartoon is a blatant homophobe

While the number is small I must say that it’s something else. The root of the problem isn’t just quality gfs, in fact, I’ve known many quality gfs who were depressed.

Natural reaction to a sick society. It's a sign of sanity more than anything else

Nice ID, gay.

>and are more socially isolated than previous generations
>people are rarely alone with their thoughts for any period of time
how do you reconcile these two contradictory points? is it that were constantly consuming media alone?

You mentioned three things: shame, guilt, and fear. Do you know where the root of those problems you are feeling are coming from?

Because we are products of our environment

Because modern society is depressing?

This is definitely another one to add to the list. Depression is a natural reaction to the lack of much needed change in life.

>Connect back with the earth, which is where you came from.

nice

Natural response to the modern world and continually diminishing future prospects

That’s a fair answer. Birth control pills fuck women up beyond belief. If they are somehow fucking up eggs then we might be getting somewhere... now let’s correlate the data about the years where depression spiked and cross reference that with birth control pills inception and introduction to the public.

I like your style, user.

Yeah half true in the end lire has no meaning and nothing has meaning desu thats why people are depressed

Do you all feel like life is somehow becoming more or less "scripted"? That a sense of adventure is missing, like in frontier times?

shut up you mutts


you too leaf , shut up

These guys get it.

ayyy it's the hyperposting swede: see

no they don't how does a woman taking birth control pills cause you depression

are yo ufucking dumb ?

People are fucking assholes
No one gives a shit about each other.
No one likes just being a dollar sign

cause modern society sucks

They are all linked to enormous feelings of inadequacy and such a powerful fear of death and being forgotten it often keeps me awake at night.

There's a book called "The Foundation For Exploration" that kind of touches on that subject. You are correct though, a lot of our lives are more or less scripted.

Just making conversation my man.

why are you afraid of death LMFAo

'depression' is your bodies way of signalling to ou you're fucking everything up
no excuses or modern rationalizing is going to make sense of it
clean your fucking room faggots, its really that simple

I'm having a pretty good time, what's your excuse?
