discussion WTF is wrong with people these days ?

[cbarnes1551]

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

Truth... sort of wish we could go back to before. sadly pandora's box has opened and will not and cannot be shut

- 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.

Yup... is what it is. i feel fucking old now LOL and privileged to know the early days of the interwebs

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

I would bet that this thread will get locked before it gets to the sixth page...

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.

"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

 

[Gunthersimp123]

Some people focus on everything but their own bubble

Kinda the opposite, really. Instead of no feedback, the feedback is all the same, reinforcing the original idea.

You must be registered to see links

 

[Succubussy]

we are all migrants

Well... depends on how far back on the history scale you really wanna go. From what i heard from our grandparents we always have been in Germany, even their parents and those of them.

But that aside, people are... people. There is no full white or full black mindset, there is no "correct" and "wrong" in behavior. Common sense is as loose of a term than actual mental behavior. Different cultures have different standards, What's normal for one is abnormal for others. That extends to rules, courtesy and living styles. Here on the lands between nowhere in Germany, we live very very differently to those in the cites, even more differently to our direct neighbor states like the Dutch or the Polish. Hell we even have towns with no internet connections and a terrible infrastructure. The biggest part of understanding what is wrong with people is accepting the fact that almost every single one you meet, be it online or outside, grew up under different teachings and circumstances. I seen families from friends here in Germany that live like druggies, a dirty apartment, crude jokes left and right and no "filter" when it comes to their dictionary. At the same time i seen families, like my one, that pretends to be "better people" to the outside while we really are not better. Its just "our common sense" to act this way. Its natural, we say murder is bad and crimes are bad, yet we also say "if they touched one of our family members, you can expect me to meet with them outside and do the job others refuse to do" kind of stuff.

All in all we grew up differently with different opinions, different dangers and rules. It's what help shape our common sense which truly is not common at all. That doesn't mean that everything has to be uncommon though. We seen money destroy the lands and people around here as much as they did in pretty much all other parts of the world. Not being a big money gainer here in germany, we pretty much are "waste", unusable for anything that helps make more money. So our parts tend to get the lesser end of almost all up to date agreements.

Its impossible to argue which state or which common sense is the right way for people to live, which is why some families do not mix well as neighbors at all (I heard a lot of drama from previous neighbors and even we had a drunkard who puked in the gardens which for me is disgusting, also fully german so no political undertone intended.)

""my government lets in too many migrants" that is political & racist" that's just a political statement not racist, unless you are going to play by internet rules,"Reductio ad Hitlerum", everyone that disagree with me is a racist...

i think is part the lurking of the economic crisis, the mistreatment of the mental problems and how the food is impacting our body

 

[HjklY520]

In no specific order and reiterating others points about the modern day problems with man:
- Lack of critical thinking/Failure in the education system/Failure in parenting
- Blatant disinformation/misinformation
- Multiculturalism
- Political tribalism
- Lobbying by mega corporations
- Mega corporations in general
- Global economic downturn
- Egoism/Narcissism/Greed
- Bleeding heart syndrome
- Failure of state institutions/destruction of faith in said institutions
And for me personally, the (oddly) coordinated and global effort to curtail the privacy and basic freedoms of the internet that's been ramped up over the past number of years has made me rather unhappy to put it mildly. Either way all of my points I think are influencing the average man's state of mind.

I think the world has completely changed in last 20 years, and I notice huge shift in attitudes and the "Me" people. Meaning people are far too quick with opening their big mouths with useless and potentially harmful words, especially in western lands sadly, and people feel self entitled to be obnoxiously rude. Don't get me wrong, other lands have their share of lunacy, so i guess we humans need learn to be more kind and less selfish and angry, or it will end in disaster I feel.

There are many many good things like in some countries mental and physical health care is vastly improved, though still in need of improvement, but yeah, people should learn to remain silent before feeling it is their right to be offensive. That's the main one I see in western society. Other lands have different things wrong, and to go through the wrong things would take too much time.


Also, I don't want to read anything connected with any political crap. Not about lefties, righties, or country matters, or racist nonsense. It will get removed and further actions could transpire

Thanks
