Consumerism. Consumerism is the problem.

We have sold out.

It’ll get you laid!

The problem is consumerism.

Narcissism is just a symptom of our insecurity.

The problem with you being the rare parent to hold their child accountable is that your kid is just going to see it as you being unfair to them. Their peers are going to laugh at them.

A lot of their peers legitimately don’t need to worry about being a responsible adult. They will inherit enough wealth to never have to work a day in their life.

Welcome to post-scarcity.

Honestly, I wish I realized it more as a kid. There’s not really a reason to pay attention to shit we don’t care about because there’s some autist out there who is going to enjoy doing it and do it better. We can just apply their solutions and move on with our lives. It’s not like they will even care. They’re too busy doing other things.

Bless the next generation for fighting back against our tunnel vision.

Makes sense in one of the most consumerist places on earth.

Thank you for understanding. It’s clear how few people are actually equipped to help kids like these.

Agreed.

It’s a good thing most of the people on these forums don’t have much influence on the outside world.

I mean, he’s having an easier time getting laid than most of the people criticizing him on these forums so…

Who do you think adolescent boys are going to listen to more?

Great way to raise a serial killer.

I’m sure there’s a way to reason with them; you just didn’t know how to go about it.

I think muad’dib is just projecting and maybe you are, too.

Using the internet to avoid dealing with problems in real life is an unhealthy crutch.

I think I just won’t put a web browser on my child’s computer.

Should solve so many problems before they even appear.

No, unchecked consumerism is how we ended up with the society we have.

Andrew tate keeps getting rewarded with sex because he has money. He has no reason to change and never will until the pussy faucet gets turned off.

Maybe he wouldn’t be such a ‘role model’ if he had a harder time getting laid. Not sure what we can do about that, though.

You know, some people would say the same things about having a trans person influence their children.

He probably doesn’t care one way or the other. I doubt he wastes much thought on it.

He’s doing whatever he thinks will make him money so he can spend that money to get laid. In his world, a lot of what he says is probably correct because he’s constantly reaffirmed by the opposite sex.

Meanwhile, the people criticizing him on reddit tend to have a harder time. We’d be fools to think kids don’t realize this. They haven’t been conditioned to ignore reality like many people on these forums.

There’s a distinct lack of firm males in our society.

We’re literally going to have to create the male role models that are needed.

This is really it.

It’s not even a left vs. right debate at this point. It’s a problem with human psychology where we can’t accept a modest approach to anything. Everything has to be blown out of proportion and distorted to the point it’s not even representative of reality.

Either people are 100% with you, or they’re 100% against you.

I blame reddit and forums like these, honestly, for playing a big role in creating this divide.

It’s a Saiyan-hydra situation. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, and whenever one falls there’s another to take its place.

These takedowns should cause emulator projects to re-assess how they manage themselves in the future. I don’t think it makes any sense to tie any identities to making emulators; it’s just not worth it.
