QuoteIs society collapsing?
No.
Yes ... entropy. The energy economy is crucial, and it is ironic it was largely supported by supplies underlying the Middle East. People either are pushing society in the trash heap or are giving a hand to keep people from falling in. The choice is yours.
No climate change, no terrorist attacks, not a possible world war, no rampant racism, no self serving capitalist policies, no economy, no unemployment, no freaking world demographics, genocidal international policies, BUT this is going to collapse the Western soicety:
Radical Feminism and liberal left. Nothing really touhces this piece of shit, all he can see is this: he is deeply offended by the radical feminsim that is going to collapse his society.
I mean consider what is happening in the West over all: in the US and Europe ...bombs are going off...mass shootings and terrorist mass shootings, Drumpf AND this man is concerned about radical feminism, because it 'led' women to reject being mothers and caregivers... I have never noticed before that how many white het male morons are around. Oh you are so doomed to 'lose'.
He is deciding what women should be and do -because they are women- dictating what are their interests and behaviours and talking about how radical feminism is threatening his society. He also thinks affirmative action is giving away jobs to females randomly because they have vaginas and women get to positions they do not earn just to undermine men. And he claims MORAL RELATIVISM is a threat before saying all this. :lol:
Oh and apparently teaching about transgenderism in school is messing up children's psychology. Wohooo.
First 3 minutes, I typed while listening there could be a few incorrect words:
QuoteI am not talking about climate change, I am talking about far more immediately pressing concerns that will determine the fate of our entire cvilisation. Politcial correctnes, moral relativism, man hating and reality denying radical feminism and mass unregulated immigration. All of these these challenges are creation of the far left regressive liberal brigade which is bent on destroying every important pillar that hods society together.
Feminism managed to destroy the home by asserting that women needed to be liberated from their roles as mothers and caregivers. It wedded women to the state instead of their husbands and successfuly undermine men at every turn esp. when it came to the custody rights of their children. Now feminism is obssessed with the fallacy that women in the west are oppressed and only reason that there aren't more women in certain male dominated fields is due to systematic oppression. The truth is feminism denies the reality that men and women are biologically predisposed to different behaviours and interests. As a result of this delusional thinking which includes the belief in gender pay gap myth genuine sexism and bigotry is being encouraged in education, politics, the media in the work place with the affirmative action. This is obviously a bigotry towards men now. This seeks to create gender quotas whereby women are placed in roles and positions they haven't earned. It undermines the importance of meritocracy and marginalises those men who geuninely worked hard fo rtheir positions. It's sexism against men. This kind of philosophy willlead young women to develop a sense of entitilement. It will teach the next generation that simply being a woman is enough to all they need to have what society deems to have the correct gentalia...
This will make women do far more harm than good. It's no surprise that we produced a generation of young millenials who demand safe spaces and protection against freedom of speech. They are infantalised and led by Marxist Ideology.
If women were genuinely being paid less than men for doing the same job and same hours for same experience level, why would employers hire men, just hire women they are cheaper right apparently.
I made videos about how gender neutral bedrooms would be very definition of cultural naval-gazing. In one video I talked about how the latest obsession of teaching transgenderism being taught to school children would lead to significant psyhological damage and confusion in later life. For this I have been labeled all the usual classic smears, bigot, transphobic even homophobic...
After saying all that he starts talking about freedom of speech and right of other groups expressing their opnions. LOL And I got bored.

No.
This. As a historian I always get a chuckle out of these threads.
If the data I've seen is accurate, the world seems to be a less violent place today than it has been historically, but from my perspective, there are way too many people that still default to violence in an attempt to control or impose their will on others. I would not assume that a drift towards peace and compassion is a natural trend. It would be nice of course, but it's not a guarantee. It's like the footnote on every financial prospectus: "Past results are not a guarantee of future performance."
Demographics. Too many people.
Society may collapse one day but not because someone from the Right says so. And I can imagine that there are people on the Left who would also indulge into this kind of rhetoric.
The Egyptians didn't know their civilizations would collapse one day, neither the Romans nor the Incas. We shouldn't dismiss all harbingers of gloom, but just as important, we need to be vigilant that we don't fall into a reckless mindset.
No. Zombies haven't taken over the world yet.

Another reason to watch TWD... just in case.
:twisted:
Society isn't collapsing but it sounds like this guy's little world might be.
Thanks, Drunkenshoe for transcribing so I did have to waste time.

But, we have nuclear weapons now! Wouldn't you agree that the weapons we have today are the most destructive in all of history (Thank my JW friend for this one)? Of course you would! That PROVES beyond doubt that the world is degrading and we are LIVING IN THE END TIMES!...well, so long as you don't imagine yourself being asked this question 200 years ago when the answer would still be "yes"...or 500 years ago....or 1,000 years ago....any point in history, really.

And when they do, they'll still mow their lawns and keep the streets tidy. I know this, I've seen it on TV.

Um, don't give in to hysteria, even if it's hip and trendy.

But, what if it makes me feel super, duper special? Like "I can have any girl I want even though I'm round and unattractive because I'm so super cool" special? Can I give into hysteria then?
Who knows if society is gonna collapse. But it is clear that a portion of the liberals in the western wrold have lost the plot. They have embroiled themselves in an irrational and resentful ideology obsessed with identity and dismantling a mythologized white patriarchal heteronormative regime they see everywhere because they constantly wear their ideological glasses and are able to rationalize everything to fit into their limited framework. The rise of the alt-right and trump is a clear response to them that takes an excesively contrarian point of view. I have seen with my own eyes the effects of polarization and radicalisation. Since i followed and participated in response movements like gamergate and elevatorgate debates(but there are many more than those 2). This shit has spread in the last 3 years all around the internet and now into mainstream political discourse too. I have seen how reasonable liberals reacting to the SJW crazyness slowly fall into their own echochamber on either side and become radicalized. I have seen the very sexually liberal attitude on websites like 4chan change to be resentful of certain deviant sexualities because of dealing with crazy transexuals/genderqueer/madeupgenderlabels. Imo the way the debate has gone on this communities and movements where this ideas have entered and blown up, because of how much faster and unfettered is the communication online. This can and has worked as a predictor, a time machine, to see how the mainstream discourse will play out. No one knows how will society collapse but denying the problematic prospects of the spread of this ideas is stupid. Reasonable individuals should seek to elevate the level of discourse by shaving off the irrationality of the lowest level of speech in the debate and help prevent the in-group out-group biases from solidifying.

As long as I get to point and laugh, sure, go ahead.

Society won't collapse, but, as JP noted, some societies do.

You are weirdly optimistic and sensible these days. Not that I don't like it. Just it looks like something changed.
The heath death of the universe is slowly approaching, so yes. Society is in the process of collapsing.

People keep doing the same shit, hoping it still works, until it stops working. Pretty simple apes.

Civilizations do collapse, but it's a very rare event. And so, we must be prudent without going berserk over it that it's going to happen in our lifetime...

If the heat death ever happens, it will take another 10
14 years, so no worry, we'll all be death, planet earth will be vaporized, the sun nothing but a cold frozen death star, and the galaxy after colliding with Andromeda, nothing but a nebulous cloud...
