-— So many of our ills can be traced back to the rise of human ingenuity and how it accelerated during and after the industrial revolution. -—
The average lifespan has doubled with industrialization. Focusing on the ills associated with the world’s first industrial revolution is like focusing on the ills associated with inoculations.
And farm work in the 1880s was no picnic either.
Actually, what happened is that the Europacifist mentality resulting from WW II permeated the “Europe is always better” mind set of the northeastern states. The liberal politicians both Republican and Democrat have this mindset.
The 60’s radicals who declared there would be no more war are in control of the American government. They are the present equivalent of the traitorous loyalists who favored the crown in the Revolution.
All those north eastern states must be purged from the Union to Save what is left.
Wimps? I think it was when artificial birth control became available ( and immediately socially acceptable) men and boys were suddenly agreeable to everything as long as it doesn’t upset tgeir ‘living a seventeen year old’s dream
Abortion would stop in a minute if guys in general were to say just stop abortion, which they do not. They let it be a women’s issue. It is not its two parents killing the offspring.
Has societal effects
This is one of them
Just an opinion
The discussion of the root cause of today’s ills can take you quite a way back in time. I posit that that mechanization and technology are the source of a lot of upheaval — led to unions and communism, mass media (mind control and propaganda), birth control (sexual “liberation”). And this has ultimately led to the pussification of society as Hawkins discusses.
Of course there are huge benefits and we all enjoy long life spans, good health, unbounded luxury, abundant food, and freedom. Who would want it any other way? Most of mankind’s history is of want, bondage, war, and misery.
I also think the author goes a bit overboard here. This isn't necessarily something pernicious going on in America. It's the natural consequence of technological advancement brought about by extreme affluence.
How are they supposed to learn to be manly in the current environment?
Perhaps you or your nephew could be so kind as to tell me where he is fighting to protect my freedom and from enemy that could threaten my peace.
For you see, your nephew is fighting to make a fe rich richer, but not to free me, for if he were fighting to free me, he would have Washington under siege and the borders would be secure.
“I watch the destruction of my country with no one willing to get out of a chair,away from the computer or away from the table to do something about it.”.......
I do not mean to sound offensive when I say, stop “watching” and do something about it. There are millions of us out here that can/will help. The real problems are lack of a true leader and where to start.
We have an election coming in another year. Who ever gets the position of POTUS will have to be a strong leader with plans to retake this once great nation away from the hands of those who hell bent on destroying it. Perhaps it is YOU!

Add to this the fact a lawyer is capable of destroying your life and yeah, more people are less willing to help in a situation.
I’m masculine, aggressive, competitive, capable, and accountable. I’m also a white man, which makes my opinion unwanted. Fine, I refuse to participate in your stupid society.
Liberalism then happily took over the helm of a rudderless ship. For example, how many of the Ten Commandments does Liberalism promote breaking? Answer: all of them. What kind of a blessing and happiness can we as a people expect from that attitude and behavior system running our nation and being embraced by our people?
When over half the people in the country will vote for somebody primarily on the basis they have a vagina while they knowingly ignore their bad character, you know we are crossing over the Rubicon and are rowing into Hell, not the sunny uplands of a happy future.
When you look at most of the counterculture in America it had kind of the same theme. Recreational drugs, promiscous sex and alternative music with a counterculture message.

Its started well before the hippies.
The reality is drugs,sex,music and self indulgence feels good. Short term.
In modern times we have A LOT more distractions and self indulgences. Facebook, video games and other instantaneous entertainment. Not to mention everything is automated. So, now you don’t even have to hold a door open for an elderly person. You don’t even have to turn a water faucet on or flust a toilet! It makes it much easier to be in your own world.
And this article explains the tagline I’ve had for awhile
It’s all the estrogen in our food and water taken in tandem with the public school’s ‘war on (some) boys’.
That’s why feminism will cease to exist in 50 years or so. It’s not compatible with human nature.
Wow, that’s interesting stuff.
Thanks for the post!
