discussion WTF is wrong with people these days ?

[highlrecommend]

No need to copy and paste the same post you replied to someone else with. If you read the last line, it was pretty obvious that much of the post was a joke. But just for the sake entertaining myself - What does my post have to do with France, Germany, or Qatar? I never mentioned them. I never mentioned anyone but Canada. All under the assumption that I, myself, am American. Maybe learn the meaning of racist before slinging the word around?

It's kind of ironic that you write this while France is on fire and German's are being set aside in the workforce to import Indians (nothing against Indians, tbc), though.

I'm just saying that you have access to the internet, use it to get the full facts because every country has journalists in every other country (if possible)
most journalists will report the facts as they see or understand them, not in the way the dictatorship tells them to report it. (unless they are part of that dictatorship)

news out of Qatar will report on anything anywhere except things going on in Qatar unless the Qatar government says to report on that & its still filtered through the Qatar government but you can get news about Qatar from the UAE or Saudi Arabia + many other countries.

its just like getting games that were just released on the $30.00 tier yesterday on a game sharing site for free the next day without waiting 30 days for the dev to release it.
people will search for days or weeks to find their updates..................................
people should be as diligent with everything, not just lewd game updates.

This thread makes me laugh because a lot of it is culture war bs. Tell me y'all aren't chronically online or consuming state-approved media without telling me.

Capitalism is the root of all that is wrong. Full stop. I've lived in 4 countries and had extended stays in 5 other countries. It's capitalism. 100%.

You know when I was truly happy? I was in China sightseeing on an extended break from work during the summer of 09. I ended up in a small southern village where money is basically useless.

Check Jia Zhengke movies for an idea.

A couple of coins got me 3 meals and a hostile. The village was lively, working to improve an elders house after flooding. I helped out and joined the workers for food and alcohol. The hang out blew up into a full on party with everyone in the village joining in. 60 Chinese people partying with a random American.

No one cared about cost, just enjoying the night and company.

I went to the same village a little more than a decade later. No children. No young adults. Houses crumbling from disrepair. Old people waiting to die to ease their children's burden. The men who stayed worked 10+ hours in a dead field. There were many eviction notices on deserted homes. No more smiles.

Taxes had increased. Food became scarce and expensive. Water became contaminated from the factory upriver. It was depressing. What made it horrific is, that's what's happening in my own country, and most likely, to everyone's community.

People are so passionate to pick a side and ignore outside perspectives or facts through tribalism that they cannot see that the same billionaires and billion dollar companies that are fueling the culture war are the ones literally killing us.

Sybau and get out into your communities and do something. I volunteer every federal holiday and 10% of my salary go to programs that help poor children get an education.

From my point of view, intelligent people and stupid people, experienced people and naive people, honest people and crooked people exist everywhere, always. Most primitive societies would let decision make in the hands of their older and wiser (the more experienced people in their communities) most "modern" Western societies followed the same path always demanding a certain minimum age and education for important decision making positions. But in the last decades we witnessed some really poorly qualified people assuming important decision making positions, which indicates a degeneration of society, loosening its values and rules in an attempt to please everybody when in the end this approach turns the society dysfunctional and worse for everyone. Maybe it is just the case the Western society is experiencing the last phase of the civilization life cycle, its decline and death.

Yes, the Internet amplified the reach of many people and ideas, very intelligent people and excellent ideas but also very stupid people and the worst ideas one can imagine. Add to that the fact that most people cannot link cause and effect, what makes them the perfect pawns in someone else's game, they are easily manipulated into doing what is beneficial to a small group of intelligent, selfish and greedy people. I give you one example: Lots of uneducated people from Libya, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Sudan, Yemen etc. flooded Western European countries seeking asylum. Most people only understand that they are dark skin people, with a different culture and religion "invading" my country; they don't understand these people would rather be living in their own countries if they could live a decent life there. But YOUR country and its allies bombed THEIR countries, destroyed their governments and the stability of their societies. The immigration crisis is the effect of your government foreign policy.

Don't let this thread turn Political... Try to keep it mostly on tract; which I understand will be somewhat difficult due to the actual topic.. But at least try ..

Genuine question. Why? I understand people can get somewhat belligerent when discussing such things but aren't we all mature individuals on here? I mean the irony of someone clicking onto this post to beef with people who don't have the same views as them while explaining what's "wrong" with people these days would be PEAK comedy

I volunteer everyday in one way or another, been volunteering in some capacity since I was 10 years old

what are your thoughts on WTF is wrong with people these days ?

​

Common sense is not so common. I mean this can correlate with a lot of things, but that's my take.

 

[i_patchy]

Nothing. People are the same as they always were. You just hear more from them due to interwebz. Terrible tastes, terrible opinions, extreme egos etc etc etc

- back to... phones? I remember the days when my neighbors were shouting at me trough the door, because i was talking with my friend on the phone and our families had shared phone line. Hardly a good old days.

This is inevitable consequence of technological progress. World becomes more and more interconnected and we have to learn to deal with it.

Echo chambers - nobody has to learn or grow if they can just find a community to support their ignorance.

Mostly the same stuff as always, just constantly broadcast over the internet now.

I get the same thing has been happening for 6,000,00 years but we are all taught to make each generation better, not worse.

Echo chambers - nobody has to learn or grow if they can just find a community to support their ignorance.

"anechoic chamber" gives no feedback or vibration for one to remember or learn from

well if you are going to report every post maybe, the admin already said "no politics"

big rule #1: if people start with racist shit it'll report them myself, i don't mind known cultural facts but blatant racism is a hard no !!
this includes "my government lets in too many migrants" that is political & racist, we are all migrants, who gives a fuck that your, my, their family lived there for 1,400 years, y'all came from somewhere else to get there, if you walked out of Africa, were brought there as African, Roman, Germanic, Middle Eastern, Asian or Greek slaves, took a boat from Japan to the Pacific Islands & than to South America, we are all one race, not many races !
(this is now also posted in the OP)

I just needed a real life thread not another "what to you think about NTR in games" thread.
so if we are all honest & play by some really simple rules everyone will get to keep their post & reaction coins LOL
