In my own personal opinion, entertainment, cohabitation (comparatively easy, low-risk, few obligations sex compared to historically), and alcohol/drugs are the only things keeping young men from getting violent.
If it were not for these things, I believe that we would be much closer to revolution even if nobody can see it yet. Potentially Tzarist Russia or Weimar Germany close. I think young men have all the social indicators needed to cause them to broadly revolt; we just have some placating methods that didn't exist historically.
- ajsnigrutin 4y agoThe problem I see is, that those people are not the "80s movies bachelors" (with enough money, flashy clothes, nice houses and cars.. and well, drugs and sex), but people literally living on the edge of their financial capabilites, sharing 3 bedroom apartments with 5 more people, barely able to afford the rent and bills, and pretty much everything left over is going for entertainment (drug and sex). With the coming financial crisis (caused again by dick-measuring politicians) a rise in eg power and heat bills with already overinflated rents and layoffs will cause more and more people to basically "not-lose-anything" if they actually get violent. Sadly, the governments solve this by taxing the "rich" (=middle class, because the actual rich always avoid the taxes, and engineers, coders, tradesmen etc. are the one who get fucked), bringing everyone (except the actual rich) to some low minimum needed to survive while still being fucked in every other sense. So yeah... the only way this can be solved is (in my, controversial opinion), is for people to actually get angry and replace the whole set of politicians and people in bed with them.
