Some parts of the military try to use the scouts as a vector for reaching potential recruits. definitely had a few army recruiters come by my troop. Also the rank structure, uniforms, focus on leadership, etc certainly looks a bit military-ish.

And fwiw, I don't think the scouts does much to address incel behavior. Maybe it helps with gangs, idk.

Well... They didn't say that. So you'll have to forgive people for thinking it applies to all men.

By percentage, but the total birthrate would (continue to) go down.

And now Trump's gonna make it harder to immigrate, so the population may actually start nosediving.

Mgtow was not met with indifference. They've been consistently criticized since the movement first started, and they quickly evolved into a cabal of Nazi-adjacent freaks. Fuck those guys.

There may be some good that could come from a men's movement for self actualization and improvement, but mgtow sure as shit wasn't that

I mean, considering how many incels voted for trump, I think we're pretty much already there. Many of the young men who voted red this election already have no close relationships with any women their age. Obviously women should exercise their autonomy as they see fit. I don't expect it to change how anyone votes.

I'll probably be downvoted for this, but progressives have spent the last several years actively shutting down lines of communication with men, particularly white men. For the best of reasons, sure, but it hasn't been an effective strategy for winning elections.

Maybe this would sway some group of center-left men who didn't bother voting, but realistically I expect it will have no effect on the ongoing polarization, or exagerrate it.

This decision is made for most people by the electrician who wired the house. This seems like as decent a hypothesis as any for why they seem to prefer washers to the left

It's very good. Whether it outstays its welcome depends on the individual. If you just beeline the main story it's not all that long, but if you play it as intended it's quite a long ride.

I don't regret playing it at all, fwiw

It's not. Trump is quite vocal about his plans to "reform" healthcare.

Is this a thing people say unironically? It's as dumb as saying "just go be a movie star"

In my experience, this highly depends on the college. Mine really didn't do shit for me as far as networking goes. And what connections i did make didn't end up helping anyway. Maybe it starts mattering more once you've got some experience?

I've heard there's an enormous demand for experienced tradespeople, but apprenticeships are pretty much full up...

Kind of a nobody-wins situation. Money to be made, just not by anyone on the ground floor.
