I think the vast majority of dudes are just skimming the surface and never get into communities about it.

I’ve come across them. But only on 4chan, which there is fuckall anyone can do about, short of breaking into their site.

Most of the guys i know would think doing so was weird.

I would hope the same of my friend group. I’ve tossed a lot of friendships in the trash because of their behavior. So those that remain are hopefully those that are actually good.

However, it’s mainly boys/men with this problem and they’re having issues dating or with school and everything and blame it all on their Chinese parent.

Yeah that touches on a related problem, the fact that we’ve designed society to be anti-social.

• You can’t easily hang out with friends, because they’re half way across the city/state/etc.
• Nobody has consistent free time due to the enormous energy and time requirements for a financially stable life if you can even have one.
• There are no third places to meet people
• Cars divide everything with highways, busy roads, and slow traffic.

It’s incredibly hard to have a social life, and as a result people lash out. And they tend not to care about if the thing they lash out against is the correct thing to lash out against.

And it’s a self feeding cycle. Because men tend to lash out in the form of right wing populism, and any woman who knows anything will steer clear of that nonsense. So it feeds into itself.

In your case it’s self hatred racism, but it’s driven by the same forces.

These are forums with millions of members on mainstream sites such as Reddit, Discord and 4chan. These are men writing about their wives, their mums, their mate’s daughter, exchanging images, sharing women’s names, socials and contact details, and no one – not one man – is calling them out. They’re patting each other on the back.

I suspect there is some amount of survivorship bias type thing going on here. The type of men to hang out in such places are the type that enjoy it, and as such would never call out such behavior. The men that don’t enjoy such will tend not to come across such content in the first place.

So the first group just doesn’t care, the second doesn’t see it in the first place.

There is also probably some degree of the second group of men acknowledging that trying to call out such behavior won’t go very far. If you said “hey don’t share this woman’s pics” on 4chan, you’re going to immediately get laughed at, ignored, and probably called a bunch of slurs. And then they’ll keep on doing it because you told them not to. And that’s in no small part because these places are puedo anonymous.

Men can’t get away with such behavior as easily outside of the internet. Calling them out in real life is far more likely to go somewhere. However ther are caveats. Again comes the survivorship bias thing I mentioned. But worse, if done in real life and calling out that behavior backfires, it becomes a teaching moment. “Don’t tell other men to behave decent or they’ll ostracize and harass you”.

It’s a fucked up situation all around.

Just make sure it doesn’t turn into another Jamestown situation.

Few companies will migrate to the U.S., as it’s wholey a disadvantage at this point.

The U.S. is unstable, is actively isolating itself from global markets, requires higher wages, and is run by a psychopath with a cult following.

Everything about it makes it bad for business, so business that can afford to are going to bail and stick with actually sensible countries.

This is an implosion.

Fuck this shitty ass country.

I’ve got old phones that I’ve been considering for this use.

They both still work, minus the cellular data. So I’m having a tough time deciding between making my actual phone squeaky clean, or using the old ones have making it a removed to get home from the airport with no internet to call an uber/friend/deal with airline shenanigans.

Redjard already explained this, the situation for Hungary is similar.

If only there was some massive ball of super heated plasma in the sky from which we could draw energy from, that also moved the atmosphere of the planet which would open another avenue of energy capture, which also happened to move vast quantities of heavy things like water uphill which would also be an opportunity for energy, or if the ground beneath us was warm enough to use for energy, or if there were shiny green rocks the ground that could be used for power.

Yup, surely there have been zero alternatives.

Oops, here’s a couple dozen, looks like we mistakenly labeled a shipment.
