If you want to be on this right wing, monarchy, paleolibertarianism and nationalism ping list, but are not, please let me know. If you are on it and want to be off, also let me know. This ping list is not used for Catholic-Protestant debates; all confessions are welcome.

I really hate the term working class. I am almost 50, and I will bet any amount of money that close to zero percent of similar age working class people have worked half the amount of life time hours I have. And I am away from home most of the time. I will further bet that I can do 75% of their jobs minimal training (except high skilled jobs that require years of training), but less than 1% of them could do mine.

between the ages of 25 and 54 are neither working nor looking for work.

Many have given up in the Clinton-Bush-Obama internationalist economy.

Any time spent generating taxable income is time wasted, any more.

The attitude today is; White males, who needs'em, they caused all the problems anyway.

White males say, see ya around.

Actually, not long ago, I read an article about White males who have been 'bumped' out of the work-place for all the diversity BS have been forced to start their own small service companies just to have a decent paying job, and.....are quietly getting rich.

Men lost their rights and their responsibilities:

,,,the biggest change to divorce law in the United States in its history came with no-fault divorces in the 1970’s. Up until now there still had to be a party at fault. Even in the Family Courts, there was still a need for an adulterer or such like to be identified and then for the terms of the divorce to be agreed however with the change in the law then a divorce could be granted if neither party was at fault...

Manyard?

Don’t forget Zelda on her skates. She was cute when she was on that show. Turns out she was playing for the other team all along.

Because this is something the feminists never thought through – men can opt-out and survive. They will not thrive, and I think ultimately it is at great personal loss to themselves and others, but if they don’t like the family and work deal offered, they’ll just opt-out of both. They will not organise, they will not take to Twitter they will just ‘socially withdraw.’

In any society, one of the fundamental issues is "How can we keep men motivated to work hard to support family and offspring, and be willing to defend the society?"

With women initiating 70% of divorces, more and more men are seeing marriage as an unattractive deal. Too many wind up divorced, and having to pay child support for kids that their ex-wives try hard to alienate from their dads.

So, as the author notes, more and more men are "Going Galt". They are foregoing marriage and family, knowing that sex can be gotten without having to be married. They are working just hard enough to support themselves, and maximizing their leisure time. And real soon now, the feminists will find out just what their new world will turn into.

Truth of,life.

Feminists will bitch about whatever men do or do not do. Regardless. They live, they bitch. They die, they bitch. They work, they bitch. They dont work, they bitch.

“All of this spells disaster of course for the working class woman who is left scratching a living in low-paid jobs and welfare while holding the baby.”

They are maintaining the charade that these “working class” males are breeding - trust me, they rarely do. No judgment on my part; someone who wants to play Grand Theft Auto all day knows better than to have children.

The simple fact is that for many people working simply isn’t worth it; many of us who are working are watching advancement prospects disappear for “diversity’s sake” - and I’ve reduced my own hours to the bare minimum for full-time work in response. My employer has to suck it up because they are giving more money to tokens with less experience, knowledge, and workload.

I think some of them definitely fall in this category.

My tagline references it.

That seems to be a big issue avoided here: Once men opt out of families, they don’t have to kill themselves as breadwinners. Why should they? If they don’t need to work, good for them; our ‘hoodrats have been laughing at us for decades now doing the same thing (though they should be breadwinners - they are breeding).

My feminist co-workers see the new world (any co-workers under thirty are foreigners), and they hate it.

Lawyers. Once nofault came about, lawyers could finally make a lot of money off divorce. Then unconstitutional family courts came about. The family court racket makes 50 billion dollars a year off divorce.

Combine it with fedgov taking more and more money from working people to reward nonworkers for pumping out kids and fedgov worker pensions and people stop wanting to feed the machine.
